Goals

• This project is dedicated to creating, improving, and maintaining articles related to the subject of anthropology.

Scope

• The scope of this project is the field of Anthropology, with an emphasis on the field often referred to as cultural anthropology.

For best practices in creating and editing articles, see the Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

Since anthropology is such a broad subject, there will probably need to be a lot of cooperation with other wikiprojects. Already existing wikiprojects that might overlap with this include (but are definitely not limited to):

• WikiProject Anatomy
• WikiProject Archaeology*
• WikiProject Culture*
• WikiProject Ethnic groups*
• WikiProject Evolutionary biology
• WikiProject History
• WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America
• WikiProject Linguistics
• WikiProject Primates*
• WikiProject Psychology
• WikiProject Sociology

Note: An * denotes a project that might end up becoming under our parentage.

This is a new project, and several things need to be done now. Many of these things will remain important as the project develops. Among them are

• Recruiting new members and keeping the members we have
• Improving the articles within the scope of this project
• Creating articles which are important, but do not yet exist
• Actively maintaining the quality of articles which already exist, including making changes to them as required by circumstance

The Wikipedia entry on Tribalism needs some serious work. Can someone look into this? There are no citations or sources within the entry. I find this topic to be a significant subject for the Anthropology WikiProject. Excuse me if my comment is in the wrong section, but I wanted to inform your group.
