Welcome Welcome to WikiProject Philosophy. A WikiProject is a group of pages in the "Wikipedia" article namespace which are devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within Wikipedia; and, simultaneously, a group of editors who use those pages to collaborate on encyclopedic work. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles directly, but a resource to help coordinate and organize the writing and editing of those articles. This group focuses on articles in the broad field of Philosophy. Getting started There are a few things you can do right now to get started helping the project. Add yourself to the Participants Roster. Watchlist and monitor the General Discussion. Watchlist and monitor the Log of assessment changes. Watchlist and review New Philosophy articles. Watchlist and monitor Article alerts. Add {{User WP Philosophy}} to your user page. It will automatically add you to Category:WikiProject Philosophy members. You may also choose to place the Philosophy navigation banner on your user page as well by adding {{Philosophy/Nav}}. Join one or more task forces and repeat the preceding steps for each. Scope and goals The scope of WikiProject Philosophy is all articles related to the academic field of philosophy. The overarching goal of WikiProject Philosophy is to find and identify all the notable ideas, people, and literature in the field of philosophy, formulate high quality articles about them, and make them available to the world. Toward this end, our specific goals are to ... improve the quality and range of Wikipedia articles on philosophical topics. We shall do this by ... assessing articles consistent with guidelines on the assessment page. ... provide a framework for consistency in appearance and navigation within the project's subject. We shall do this by tagging all articles relevant to the project with the {{WikiProject Philosophy}} banner. ... build a community of contributors. We shall do this by recruiting new members, recognizing and appreciating excellent contributors with the Star of Sophia Improve the bird's eye view The entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in the Outline of philosophy and its branch outlines. These are in turn part of Wikipedia's outline system which is one of Wikipedia's main contents systems. Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them. While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed): What's missing? Is the structure of the outline (sections and indents) representative of the subject? Does the outline help understand the relationships between the topics presented in the best way possible? The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what. The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject. It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise philosophy-related material. It is a hub from which to organize philosophical topics. It was built as a "reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes. Please help improve it. It's our bird's eye view. Thank you.
