Welcome![edit]

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize themselves and improve articles related to Social work. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians and develop consensus on best practices for these types of articles. If you would like to help, please feel free to sign up as a participant in the project or simply just dive into the project tasks.

Scope[edit]

This WikiProject aims primarily to improve Wikipedia articles relating to social work by organizing articles on the subject, locating notable weaknesses, and editing diligently. We also hope to recruit editors with expertise in the field of social work to create needed articles.

Participants[edit]

There are currently three places to look for contributors to this WikiProject. The best place to look is Wikipedia:WikiProject Directory/Description/WikiProject Social Work, which shows active editors in this area. The second place is Category:WikiProject Social Work participants, which shows everyone who has tagged their user page. A third list is under the Participants section below.

To join the group simply edit this page and add yourself to the list of participants below. Also, please add one of the following to your user page:

  1. [[Category:WikiProject Social Work participants|((subst:PAGENAME))]]
  2. ((Wikipedia:WikiProject Social Work/WPUBX))

You'll also want to watch both this page and the WikiProject article alerts page.

Members of this WikiProject are encouraged to be mindful of the core values of the (U.S.) National Association of Social Workers in their writing and in their interactions with other editors.[1][2]
