This is a WikiProject, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of a particular topic, or to organizing some internal Wikipedia process.
Please see the Guide to WikiProjects and the Directory of WikiProjects for more information.
Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organise information in articles related to Homeschooling. If you would like to help, please enquire on the talk page. New members are welcome to join, and update the to-do list. The associated talk page serves as a forum for related collaboration of articles within the project's scope.
This WikiProject's scope includes anything that has to do with homeschooling. Articles within this project's scope are assessed by quality and importance boundaries, when the WikiProject Homeschooling template is placed on those articles.
The importance scale will assess articles based upon their importance as it relates to the WikiProject. For example, an article about a person who was or is homeschooled would be within this project's "scope", but it would not be as high on the importance scale as the Homeschooling article itself.
The quality scale determines the article's quality, how well it is written, and the length of the article, regardless of how it is ranked on the importance scale. In the event that the article is within the scope of multiple WikiProjects, the article should usually recieve the quality assessment grade by all of the WikiProjects.
Goals
General goals
To coordinate and improve articles related to Homeschooling.
To foster collaboration between participants of this project.
The Collaboration department seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every month, a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards. Any articles dealing with some aspect of Homeschooling are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.
This is the list of members of WikiProject Homeschooling. There is no commitment to becoming a member. Members will receive the project's newsletter unless they request otherwise on the project's talk page.
Burner0718 (talk • contribs • count) — Won't be available 24/7 due to other stuff, but will be glad to help at least a little bit by answering questions and occasionally helping with big edits.
Freechild (talk • contribs • count) — I have already contributed quiet a bit to hs-related articles on WP, and I shall proceed and continue to rock the mic right.
Basketball110 (talk • contribs • count) I'll just be here for project wise stuff. I don't know much about homeschooling, but as MFC said, it "couldn't hurt." 20:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
TangentIdea (talk • contribs • count) I'm not particularly skilled in wikification, but my skills generally lie more in the realms of copyediting. A homeschooler myself, having worked for various homeschool organizations and causes ([1], for one), I also have a significant amount of knowledge and experience in the subject area personally.
Master Scott Hall (talk • contribs • count) Although a newbie as editor, my strengths are in research, focus, design, copyedit, and (hopefully) NPOV.
Sam Spade (talk • contribs • count) I am good at mediation, advocation, article clean-up and NPOV enforcement.
Alan Nicoll (talk • contribs • count) I want to be a part of this, I think, but don't have much time to devote to it and cannot commit to anything significant. Will contribute advice and perhaps resources as seems appropriate.
Unschool (talk • contribs • count) — I think I'm interested, but I've never worked on a project, and no nothing about projects or task forces or whatever. Somebody needs to point me in the right direction.
The list below contains links to templates to recruit people for WikiProject Homeschooling. You can use them based upon whether the user is a homeschooler, interested in homeschooling, a WikiProject Alternative Education member, or a WikiProject Education member.
In those pages you will find instructions for adding the message to a user's talk page. Because we don't want users to get multiple messages, if you plan on helping to recruit members, please be sure to leave a note on our project's talk page and say you are doing so. It is also good to check the user's talk page before adding the template to the page. Also make sure you add a header on top of the message, as that is not included in the template.
