The Sociology of Law

I have expanded and structured the entry on the Sociology of law which was previously classed as "less than a stub". It now needs to be reassessed and discussed. Please visit Sociology of law and comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Banakar (talk • contribs) 15:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Would there be editors interested in developing such a Wikiproject? Please direct reples here so we can centralize the discussion. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 22:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I left a positive reply here. Has there been any further developments about this idea or something similar? FloNight♥♥♥♥ 15:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

No, but I will reply at Talk:Social_movement#WikiProject_Social_Movements. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:02, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Sociological positivism

This article urgently needs improving!

Platonic love & Romantic friendship

Both of these articles seem to have issues...I seem to remember the platonic love article being well rounded a while back, but now it and romantic friendship both seem to be very homosexually focused (and the platonic love article a somewhat incoherent mess). They were both unhelpful when I was researching heterosexual forms of the same the other day. I would love to help improve the articles, but I admit my knowledge on them is somewhat lacking.

Science Fiction?

When adding the Wikiproject Sociology userbox, the Category of "Wikiproject Science Fiction members" is also automatically added to one's user page. I suspect the latter userbox was used as a template for the former, but it is not working correctly; needs repair! DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 18:11, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Social equality

The current article at Affirmative Action is fully about social equality with various phrases such as "positive action" redirecting there. I have suggested moving to and merging with Social equality and both are part of this project. It shouldn't require much change to either articles basis so I could do it but please go ahead and chime in at it on Talk:Affirmative_action#Social_equality or Talk:Social_equality#Affirmative_Action ~ R.T.G 08:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Asian fetish

This article could use some new eyes with expert knowledge/mediation/constructive input; I'm posting to several WikiProjects that seem relevant and to RfC. I have already done so on WP:Cleanup (other ideas just about where to seek help are also welcome). Article was created 06:51, 20 April 2004 by an IP. There's thirteen talk page archives and five Articles for Deletion discussions; there are 122 watchers and about 400 daily page views on average. Has never reached much of a consensus regarding the subject, content or sources AFAIK. Thanks! Шизомби (talk) 03:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Anarchism at GAH

Anarchism has been nominated for Good Article status. I have assessed it and placed in on hold so that some points I have raised can be dealt with. I see the article has this project's tag, so am informing people here. My comments are at Talk:Anarchism/GA1.--Peter cohen (talk) 16:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Radicalization: article needs expansion, generalization

I've just expanded the stub article on radicalization, using the obvious low-hanging references relating to Islamic radicalization. However, as a result the article has an excessive emphasis on recent Islamic militancy and terrorism. It badly needs expanding to include other cases of radicalization -- for example, historical communist and fascist movements, as well as historically unimportant groups such as ecoterrorists, the Red Brigades and 19th century and early 20th century militant anarchism -- as well as taking a look at the resemblances and differences between these cases; there must be scholarly research on this. -- The Anome (talk) 17:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Ethnoreligious group

I'm posting this note here to request help with the article at Ethnoreligious group, that has a template from this Wikiproject on the talk page. The article currently has no sources for the definition of the term, and there is talk page discussion about a possible merge with Ethnic religion. If anyone here is interested in this topic, please join the discussion or add sources to the page.

Reassess Forced Prostitution article

Hey guys. A significant amount of work has been done to the Forced Prostitution article by me among others, is it possible for it to be re-assessed? It doesn't seem that this will ever get looked at on the Sexology and sexuality pages. Thanks. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 01:08, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Perception

Dear all,

I’ve been trying to help folks who were trying to articulate the latest knowledge on Perception article, but my suggestions did not help much. On top of that, some little egos managed to erode even that little clarity we had.

I have decided, therefore, to simply rewrite the article on the basis of currently available knowledge in the following disciplines: cognitive and developmental psychology, medicine (especially genetics), anthropology, sociology, philosophy and complex (adaptive) systems theory with emphasised references to non-monotonic logics. I am contemplating few other disciplines, but these will suffice for the beginning.

I have drafted the lead into the article and the draft can be found on the related discussion page. I am calling now for comments and contributions backed by the latest science and the latest contemporary philosophical thought. My only condition is clarity and brevity wherever possible. If you find other possible references, they will be welcomed too.

Kind regards, Damir Ibrisimovic (talk) 22:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Semi-periphery_countries GA review

I have put the GA review of Semi-periphery countries on hold as I feel based on a source check that there is a possibility the information as presented could be unreliable. I would like an expert on the subject to check over the article before resuming the review. See Talk:Semi-periphery countries/GA2. SilkTork *^YES! 12:38, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 23:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

It is interesting that this list is empty, yet Wikipedia:WikiProject_Sociology/Cleanup_listing#BLP_articles_lacking_sources is not. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 16:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

GA reassessment of African American culture

Request for review of draft article

Folks, would one of the regulars here have time to review a draft article? It is at User:AgRince/Social Science Research on Greatness. The article was previously in mainspace but after I sent it to Afd, at the request of the creator I moved it to userspace for further work. The creator has done some more work on it and left a couple of requests for feedback, the most recent at WP:Requests for feedback#User:AgRince/Social Science Research on Greatness. If someone would take a look at it and respond at WP:FEED, perhaps also leaving a {{Feedbackreply}} on the user's talk page, that would be great. Thanks in advance. – ukexpat (talk) 13:30, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
