Wikipedia:WikiProject Neopaganism

Welcome to WikiProject Neopaganism , a project dedicated to expanding, improving, organizing, verifying, and NPOVing articles related to contemporary paganism. This is a hub for collaboration and discussion. We hope it will provide the community with the guidance and helping hands needed to make Wikipedia's coverage of modern paganism all it can be.

Our scope covers hundreds of articles, from Alp-luachra to Zsuzsanna Budapest. If you are interested in taking part, watch this page and feel free to add your name to the members list ! Whether you are interesting in contributing a lot or a little, you are more than welcome.

Goals of the Project

(last updated 13 May 2020)

1. Create and improve articles within the scope of the project, adding material, references, etc.
2. Monitor Article alerts and pages within the project scope for vandalism, unreferenced material, and WP:NPOV.
3. Bring modern paganism and Wicca to Featured Article status.
4. Gather lists of topics covered in other reference sources on the broad topic of modern paganism. Such articles in other sources can prove a real benefit in determining the content and scope of our own articles. An early list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Neopaganism/Encyclopedic articles.

Badbilltucker has set up a new assessment department for the project at Assessment. This allows us to keep track of article quality and importance so that we can focus our efforts on the articles most in need of help. If you see a talk page template that says the article has not been assessed, please consider giving the article a quick assessment according to the assessment instructions.

Feel free to add stubs needing love, articles lacking verification/references, or articles needing help of some other kind
