Unlike most projects, the Wikiproject on alternative medicine contains a large number of different project pages that are designed to organize the data contained in articles about CAM. The infobox on the far right is designed to make it easier to navigate your way through the maze of different project and talk pages contained in this Wikiproject. It is suggested that your exploration of our project should start out on the main project page.

Our Rating System
Our project would conduct a periodic review of CAM articles to rate them for compliance to our standards of quality guidelines. In real life, this process would be similar to doing a Federal government compliance audit of Federal grants. I know because in my lifetime, I have managed to participate in a few Federal grant compliance audits. We would in effect be doing a compliance audit.
I visualize a simple checklist of questions with 3 possible answers to each question: Yes, No, or N/A. An affirmative answer to any question would be a 'marker' for non-compliance. Questions with a N/A response would be tossed out. I would propose that a score of 25% affirmative responses would result in passing our compliance audit or test. In other words, to make it comparable to passing an academic test, the mathematical complement of 25% is the same as a passing grade of 75% correct answers. Of course, we could require a passing grade to be 90%, if you want to have a tougher challenge.
The checklist of compliance audit questions has yet to be developed, as I would propose that they must all be worded so that an affirmative response would be a 'marker' for non-compliance. -- John Gohde, aka Mr-Natural-Health 12:31, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)
