Wikipedia:WikiProject Islam/Shi'a Islam task force

==Mission objectives==

This is a project aimed at increasing the quality of the articles related to the Shi'a Islam, elevating the articles to "Good article" standard, and then all the way to "Featured article" standard.

Shi'a

We do this by:

Making sure all statements are sourced using the "source" model
Being well versed with WP:NPOV. This means that no contentious statements should be stated as facts, and that minority views should not be given undue weight.
Using the most official sources available

As of 2006-08-13, we have 0 (Zero) article in the "Good article" standard and 0 (zero) in the "Featured article" standard.

{{tlx|WikiProject Islam|class{{=}}|importance{{=}}|Shi'a-Islam{{=}}yes|Shi'a-Islam-importance{{=}}}} may be added to the top of the talk pages of the article relevant to this project. This will make them appear on the :Category:Shi'a Islam task force articles.
