Wikipedia:WikiProject Universal Basic Income
Welcome to the Basic Income WikiProject! This group aims to improve the coverage of topics related to basic income in Wikipedia. One of the main goals of this project is to bridge the gap between researchers who have been publishing about basic income and the general public, while simultaneously improving the number of authoritative references in the articles covering basic income-related topics.
Another main goal is to allow inter-Wikipedia cooperation in improving and equalizing the coverage of basic income articles across the main Wikipedias (similar to WikiProject Intertranswiki).

Tasks
- Note: If you're new to Wikipedia, first create an account and then put {{User WikiProject Basic Income}} in your userpage.
The main tasks at the moment are the ones needed to get us started:
Select relevant pages from this list and add them to the list of articles covered by this project.
Done by User:Stanjourdan
Add the code "{{WikiProject Basic Income | importance= | class= }}" to the talk page of each article on the list, to make them display the banner of our WikiProject.- Done by User:EmanuM
- Fill the outline table with data for the missing languages (instructions on the top of that page)
In progress...
- Assess all the articles with the banner (listed here) for quality and importance, by filling the
class=andimportance=parameters of the banner in their talk pages.- The importance can be "Top", "High", "Mid" or "Low" (use your own judgment).
- The class (quality) can be "A" (excellent), "B" (good), "C" (acceptable), "Start" (very basic, needs improvement) or "Stub" (extremely short, e.g. one or two paragraphs only).
Again, this is a subjective assessment, but if you want, there is a page describing in more detail what each class means.
If you have any suggestions or questions about how to get started, feel free to leave a message in the talk page or join the associated Facebook group where further discussion and coordination occurs.
