Guidelines

For best practices in creating and editing articles, see the Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Overlap with other projects

Since anthropology is such a broad subject, there will probably need to be a lot of cooperation with other wikiprojects. Already existing wikiprojects that might overlap with this include (but are definitely not limited to):

• Culture*
• Ethnic groups*
• Linguistics
• Sociology
• Psychology
• Primates*
• Evolutionary biology
• Anatomy
• Archaeology*

Note: An * denotes a project that might end up becoming under our parentage.

Open tasks

This is a new project, and several things need to be done now. Many of these things will remain important as the project develops. Among them are

• Recruiting new members and keeping the members we have
• Improving the articles within the scope of this project
• Creating articles which are important, but do not yet exist
• Actively maintaining the quality of articles which already exist, including making changes to them as required by circumstance
