Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to creationism (originally intelligent design creationism, but expanded in December 2010 to cover all forms of creationism). This page and its subpages contain their suggestions, and it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians working on the topic. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

This project is dedicated to improving and better organizing Wikipedia articles related to creationism. These articles should all be placed in the Category:Creationism or one of its subcategories.

Goals

• Improve accuracy and neutrality in articles related to creationism in a broad sense.
• Create a centralized list of all articles related to creationism.
• Create a rating system for all articles related to creationism and rate existing articles.
• Ensure that internal organisation of creationism articles is consistent.
• Ensure that overall linguistic style of creationism articles is consistent.
• Ensure that all footnotes and references are kept up to date and align with WP Policy: Verifiability and WP Guideline: Reliable sources.
• Work to bring these articles up to the level of Featured Articles.

All members should feel free to add ((User WikiProject Creationism)) to their userpages.

Taskforces:

• Intelligent design
• Young Earth creationism

• Assessment - the assessment department.

1. ?

1. Place the ((WikiProject Creationism)) banner on the talk pages of all articles that fall within the scope of this project.
2. Check the recent changes function for recent changes in the articles supported by the project, including improvements, other changes, and vandalism.
3. Check the Category:Creationism articles needing attention for any articles requiring immediate attention.
4. Reassess (for both quality and importance) and improve articles that have below average rated quality for their rated importance:
   1. Top-importance articles that are only B-class:
      1. Discovery Institute
      2. Irreducible complexity
   2. High-importance articles that are only Start-class:
      1. Darwin on Trial
      2. Icons of Evolution
      3. Michael Behe
      4. Phillip E. Johnson
      5. Santorum Amendment
      6. Specified complexity
      7. The Design Inference
   3. Mid-importance articles that are only Stub-class:
      1. Charles Thaxton
      2. Glenn Branch
      3. Kevin Padian
      4. Robert T. Pennock
      5. Michael Denton
5. Find sources for, and expand, older and lesser-known cases in Category:United States creationism and evolution case law
6. Update and maintain Portal:Creationism
7. Expand articles in Category:Creationism stubs

No Article alerts at this time.

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
