__NOTOC__

Welcome to the Ethics 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 Ethics.

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

  • [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Ethics_articles_by_quality_log&action=watch Watchlist] and monitor the Ethics log.
  • [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Philosophy&action=watch Watchlist] and monitor the General Discussion.
  • Add {{User WP Ethics}} to your user page. It will automatically add you to :Category:Ethics task force participants. You may also choose to place the Ethics navigation banner on your user page as well by adding {{Ethics/Nav}}.

Scope and Goals

The current focus of the Ethics task force is to create a representative presence of philosophy of ethics on Wikipedia. Many splinter articles on this subject are poorly written and factually inaccurate, and misrepresent some of the most important works in the history of philosophy. Since works in moral philosophy are some of the most dense and difficult to understand, but also perhaps the most important to human society, a coordinated effort to expand and improve Wikipedia's articles on this subject is needed.

{{portal|Ethics}} adds a box Ethics or Moral Philosophy which leads to the ethics portal. It looks like this:

{{portal|Ethics}}

It should appear at the bottom of each ethics article, immediately before the categories list.

=Project page tag=

Putting {{philosophy|ethics=yes}} at the top of a page will add this notice to it:

{{philosophy|ethics=yes|class=NA|importance=|category=no}}

This message should be placed at the top of the talk pages of all ethics articles, especially:

  • articles that members of the WikiProject are actively trying to improve.
  • articles about major ethics topics.
  • articles that need special attention.
