SomeWikipedians have formed aproject to better organize information in articles related tocreationism (originallyintelligent 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 thetalk page and see theto-do list there.

For more information on WikiProjects, please seeWikipedia:WikiProject andWikipedia:WikiProject/Best practices.

• Assessment - the assessment department.

1. ?

1. Place the{{WikiProject Creationism}} banner on thetalk pages of all articles that fall within the scope of this project.
2. Check therecent changes function for recent changes in the articles supported by the project, including improvements, other changes, and vandalism.
3. Check theCategory:Creationism articles needing attention for any articles requiring immediate attention.
4. Reassess (for both quality and importance) and improve articles that have below averagerated quality for theirrated 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

5. Find sources for, and expand, older and lesser-known cases inCategory:United States creationism and evolution case law
6. Update and maintainPortal:Creationism
7. Expand articles inCategory:Creationism stubs

NoArticle alerts at this time.

Similar to theCollaboration 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.
