Welcome to the Reality television task force of WikiProject Television. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Reality TV.
; Goals
- To expand, and improve all reality television program articles.
; Scope
- The scope of this project is all articles within the :Category:Reality television series. However, we gratefully acknowledge the existence and work of several projects which work with individual reality television shows, and will focus most of our efforts on those programs which do not fall within the scope of any of the other active related projects.
; Join!
- Anyone is welcome to join, whether you work on several different reality television shows or only on one. To join add your name to the list of members.
Guidelines
This task force falls under the parent WikiProject's WP-TV guidelines.
Please follow the Manual of Style for Television, when creating articles.

=Reliable Sources=
Reality television will not always have a lot of coverage, particularly if it is not a show on one of the major broadcast stations. You still have to be sure to always use reliable sources for what you put in an article. Especially when it comes to WP:BLP concerns when talking about the participants of reality TV. Unreliable blogs, forums and fan-sites do not cut it.
Reliable entertainment websites and magazines are more likely to have coverage of reality TV shows that general papers might not cover. [https://www.etonline.com Entertainment Tonight], [https://www.ew.com/ Entertainment Weekly], [https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ The Hollywood Reporter], [https://people.com/ People], [https://www.variety.com/ Variety], and [https://www.deadline.com/ Deadline Hollywood] are all good options to start with. Gossip magazines and tabloids will also have coverage but be sure to check they aren't depreciated or unreliable.
If you are unsure about a source you can see if it is listed at WP:Perennial sources or it has been discussed at reliable sources noticeboard. Just search the archives and see if there are any previous discussions. If it hasn't been discussed previously you can start a discussion of your own. You can either start it on the RS noticeboard, or start one at the Reality TV Task force talk page, or the WP Television talk page. Depending on participation you may want to draw attention to it from the other talk pages.
