Welcome to theWikiProject Computer science page. The goals of the project are to build a community of interest around computer science, and to provide a focal point for coordinating efforts to improve Wikipedia's computer science articles. The scope of the project includes all articles in the area ofcomputer science, includingcomputer programming andsoftware engineering.
If you would like to participate in this project, then you can optionally add your name to thelist of participants. Keep in touch with project developments byadding this project to your watchlist and joining discussions on thetalk page.

Looking for something to do? The current to-do list for the project consists of these tasks:
|
If none of those tasks sound appealing, then there are several places on Wikipedia where computer science related requests, suggestions and tasks have been collected together:
| What | Where |
|---|---|
| Suggest or edit a computer science article needing attention | Pages needing attention: Computer science |
| Request or write a computer science article | Requested articles: Computer science |
| Request or provide an image | Requested images: Computers |
| Expand a computer science "stub" | Computer science stubs |
| Suggest or edit a redirect which could have its own article | Redirects with possibilities: Computers |
| Add or find a "missing" computer science article | Missing: Computer science |
| Add to or maintain the list of computer science publications | List of publications in computer science |
| Work on improving the computer science portal | Computer science portal |
| Find and fix computer science categories in need of attention | Category:Wikipedia categories in need of attention#Tagged categories |
| Help find, tag, and assess computer science articles | Assessment |
There are a few things that you should try to keep in mind while editing computer science articles.
One of the primary goals of this project is to make computer science articlesaccessible, so you should make an effort toexplain any jargon.
Try to ensure that every computer science article includes at least a few relevant references, and direct citations for anything that could be considered controversial. Wikipedia articles cannot be a substitute for a textbook (that is whatWikibooks is for), and references can give readers some idea of where they should go if they need more information than the article can provide. Just as important, providing further reading enables other editors to verify and to extend the given information, as well as to discuss the quality of a particular source.
You can find more information on citations and references, as well as several examples for how the cited literature should look, in thestyle guide on citations.Citeseer can be a good source of references and citations for computer science articles, as canGoogle Scholar.
