Epistemology Task Force of WikiProject Philosophy

Welcome to the Epistemology Task Force, a task force of WikiProject Philosophy. The task force is a group of pages in the "Wikipedia" article namespace which are devoted to the management of a specific topic or family of topics within Wikipedia; and, simultaneously, a group of editors who use those pages to collaborate on encyclopedic work. It is not a place to write encyclopedia articles directly, but a resource to help coordinate and organize the writing and editing of those articles. This group focuses on articles in the field of Epistemology.

There are a few things you can do right now to get started helping the task force and the project.

• Add yourself to the Participants Roster.

• Watchlist and monitor the Epistemology log.

• Watchlist and monitor the General Discussion.

• Add {{User WP Epistemology}} to your user page. It will automatically add you to Category:Epistemology task force members. You may also choose to place the Epistemology navigation banner on your user page as well by adding {{Epistemology/Nav}}.

How to participate

This project is open to all Wiki editors. Adding your name indicates that you are willing to work with others on the development of Wikipedia's Epistemology articles, and be an involved member of the project.

Goals and tasks

This task force is a community of Wikipedians who share an interest in Epistemology and who wish to improve the general quality of Wikipedia Epistemology articles, and how they are accessed. It is an effort to coordinate the work of Wikipedians who are knowledgeable about Epistemology.

To improve the quality and range of Wikipedia articles on Epistemological topics:

• List of topics in epistemology

• Recent changes to the List of topics in epistemology.
• Regularly update the Epistemology Portal
• Ensure Category:Epistemology is accurate and up-to-date
