Compliance Audits[edit]
This WikiProject is in the business of coordinating the formal review of the major branches of alternative medicine articles and other specific CAM articles that have a history of controversy in regards to their degree of compliance to our standards of quality guidelines.
Our public participants periodically reviewing the compliance of these CAM articles to our standards of quality guidelines will be one of our most important methods for achieving Wikipedian community consensus that will be required before a community wide resolve is built to end the edit wars currently taking place in CAM.
Current criteria for passing our compliance audits[edit]
We have a master list of 20 Key Questions that are designed to measure the compliance of CAM articles to our Standards of Quality Guidelines. As this is the first review, we are not trying to be too strict this go around. Scoring 7 or fewer questions wrong will result in a passing evaluation. This works out to a passing grade of 65% (computed as the complement from one).
