Wikipedia:WikiProject Critical source examination

Wikipedia:WikiProject Critical source examination is intended to promote a debate on sources that are used in articles. It is a policy of Wikipedia to base articles on facts and verifiable sources. This project will focus on discussing the relevance and the appliance of sources for an article.

Ideas for topics

edit

It is preferable to have topics that can appeal to a wider public for the moment. This in order to get more participation for the project. Of course, if obscure and highly intellectual topics are able to gain an audience, than that would be very welcome.

Topics

edit

Thucydides

edit

One goal will be to improve articles related to Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War. This will be in cooperation with Wikiversity.

Participants:

Momentarily we are reading book 3 of Thucydides. Feel free to join the next meeting.

Example how this could look like:

  • extend and create new articles in wikimedia projects (in German)
