Welcome toWikiProject Sociology, a collaboration area for Wikipedians interested in improving coverage ofsociology on Wikipedia. The project's primary purpose is to provide support for members and any other editors in improving Wikipedia's coverage of sociology. New members are always welcome! Just add your name to ourparticipants list.

When in doubt, join us for a discussion.

ThisWikiProject aims primarily to improve Wikipedia articles relating to sociology by organizing articles on the subject, locating notable weaknesses, and editing diligently.

Overview of scope

• We cannot include all articles related to social activity: that would be millions of articles (allsocial facts...). Hence, we focus on those elements that are highly related to and mostly exclusive to sociology.

In scope

• Articles on purely sociological issues and terms (such asmedical sociology orsociological perspective) should be included.

• Articles on interdisciplinary issues and terms (such ashistory of sociology,family,traditions orpeace movement) should be included.

• Biographies of sociologists who meets the notability requirements outlined atWP:BIO (WP:PROF) should be included.

Maybe in scope

• If the subject isnotable andreliable sources exist covering it from the sociological perspective, a specialized article could be created, so topics like thesocial construction of the British royal family,sociology of fashion orsociology of clothing may get covered. Consider discussing these suggestions in the relevant talk pages.

Out of scope

• Specific entities such as a particular family (House of Windsor) or element of fashion (brasserie,long hair) are too specific and should not be included,even if there are sociological studies of those concepts; we cannot cover the entirety of social reality.

• Biographies of famous persons who have not directly contributed to sociology, even if they are mentioned in many sociological studies (such asBarack Obama,Martin Luther King, orGandhi), should not be included.
