[edit] Project overview

This project focuses on creating, improving and organizing content related to the subject of astrology in Wikipedia. This will include articles on historical, technical, philosophical and theoretical issues involving astrology in different cultures and traditions, as well as its relation to other fields. The project will also work on improving the categorization of astrology related articles and will eventually initiate an astrology portal on wikipedia.

[edit] To do

Identify unmarked astrology related stubs and expand them into full articles.

Grab your favorite reference work and identify missing articles on notable astrologers for the List_of_astrologers list, and/or create articles for them.

Improve this page and make it more useful for potential astrology editors and project members.

Invite active editors who write for astrology-related articles, history of science articles, or other applicable fields to join the project.

Add the project template to the talk pages of astrology articles, and modify the template if you feel it can be improved.

This article is part of the Astrology WikiProject, an attempt to improve and organize the astrological content on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.
