Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Starting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New participants

Here are tips on where to start, using the resources listed at WP:SKEPTIC:

  1. Familiarize yourself with WP:PSCI, WP:FRINGE, WP:ARBPS, WP:CITE, WP:PARITY, WP:LEAD, WP:BRD (and WP:CONSENSUS)
  2. Read/update the To do list
  3. Review the new pages log, adding the {{WikiProject Skepticism}} tag on the talk pages of relevant articles and as necessary, nominating inappropriate articles for deletion; when the articles meet inclusion criteria, help to improve them and watchlist them
  4. Read WP:FTN and WT:SKEPTIC and participate there; start a new thread there as necessary when needing input about problematic articles
  5. Track article alerts and participate to relevant discussions
  6. Patrol changes to sensitive articles by watchlisting them or using the Related Changes feature on extra watchlists or categories (also see the skeptic's watchlist)
  7. Participate to article talk page discussions, while thinking about WP:NOTFORUM
