The project's primary purpose is to provide support for members and any other editors in improving Wikipedia's coverage of sociology. New members are always welcome! Just add your name to our participants list.

When in doubt, join us for a discussion.

This WikiProject aims primarily to improve Wikipedia articles relating to sociology by organizing articles on the subject, locating notable weaknesses, and editing diligently.

Overview of scope

• We cannot include all articles related to social activity: that would be millions of articles (all social facts...). Hence, we focus on those elements that are highly related to and mostly exclusive to sociology.

In scope

• Articles on purely sociological issues and terms (such as medical sociology or sociological perspective) should be included.

• Articles on interdisciplinary issues and terms (such as history of sociology, family, traditions or peace movement) should be included.

• Biographies of sociologists who meets the notability requirements outlined at WP:BIO (WP:PROF) should be included.

Maybe in scope

• If the subject is notable and reliable sources exist covering it from the sociological perspective, a specialized article could be created, so topics like the social construction of the British royal family, sociology of fashion or sociology of clothing may get covered. Consider discussing these suggestions in the relevant talk pages.

Out of scope

• Specific entities such as a particular family (House of Windsor) or element of fashion (brasserie, long hair) are too specific and should not be included, even if there are sociological studies of those concepts; we cannot cover the entirety of social reality.

• Biographies of famous persons who have not directly contributed to sociology, even if they are mentioned in many sociological studies (such as Barack Obama, Martin Luther King, or Gandhi), should not be included.

For further information, please see the ' Assessment' and 'Article lists & tools' tabs for this WikiProject.

New articles

Please feel free to improve new sociology-related articles, including possibly some of those listed here from AlexNewArtBot/SociologySearchResult. New articles should be reviewed to see if they fit within the scope of this project. If they do, our WikiProject assessment template should be added to them and they need to be assessed on their talk page for quality and importance. Various copyediting may be required, such as adding a stub template or categories, and the article creators may need to be welcomed to Wikipedia and/or invited to our project.

Articles inappropriate for Wikipedia should be nominated for deletion (see WP:PROD and WP:AFD for how-to).
