To do

Join WikiProject atheism and be bold.

Be consistent

  • Use a "standard" layout for atheism-related articles (see layout style, "The perfect article" and Featured articles).
  • Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
  • Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles–and, where it hasn't, adding it.

Maintenance, etc.

Articles to improve

Create

  • Articles on notable atheists


Expand

Immediate attention

  • State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.
  • False choice into False dilemma: discuss whether you are for or against this merge here
  • Clarify references in Atheism using footnotes.
  • Secular movement defines it as a being restricted to America in the 21st century.

Vandalism

Hello, now I have never really edited wikipedia before, just fixing some small typos here and there but someone keeps injecting some racist and antisemitic things in this article making Alters look like he wrote an article on 'Jews and Blacks'. So I'd like to revert to my fixed version, and would please request that this article be locked immediately. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.166.48 (talk) 08:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC) Reply

McNeil medal

Might it be appropriate to add that Alters received the 2009 McNeil Medal for the Public Awareness of Science from the Royal Society of Canada? See McGill's press release here.Glenn Branch (talk) 23:14, 31 August 2010 (UTC) Reply

Actually I think the article would be better if it just told us why this person is important. These sorts of awards and medals are given out yearly. The fact that someone received one conveys very little to someone outside the field.BigJim707 (talk) 07:36, 13 December 2011 (UTC) Reply
Winning a medal like this is pretty much the definitional of notability in any academic or substantive domain. It sure beats the heck out a lot of popular and evanescent silliness that seems to pass for notability, since it is an award given by an authoritative panel based on objective measures of outstanding achievement in science education.
