Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information about the key ideas, concepts, people, organizations and events related to anti-war movements, as well as articles about peace and nonviolent conflict resolution. Editors involved in the WikiProject collaborate with suggestions for tasks and projects regarding specific articles or groups of articles. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the tasks and projects below.
For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices.
We neither support, nor actively condemn, the promotion of an anti-war POV (or any other POV) in Wikipedia articles. Instead, we seek to bring articles on the anti-war movement and anti-war ideas up to Featured Article standard. This project is for those interested in various anti-war movements (just as Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket is for those persons interested in cricket).
As noted in the anti-war article the term anti-war is not completely clear. For the sake of this project 'anti-war' will denote any movement or ideology that opposes war in general or opposes specific wars or opposes the involvement of its country/government in war in general or specific wars. This definition is purposefully wide so as to cover all the various movements that have labelled themselves or have been labeled as anti-war. It also aims to include movements that have been or are currently labeled as 'Peace movements'.
The goals of this WikiProject are as follows:

Please note: the Militarisation of space was the Wikipedia-wide Wikipedia:Collaborations of the week|Collaboration of the week back in August 2005. There are also several Article Improvement Drive candidates that may be of interest, such as American Empire and Nuclear power phase-out. Go vote!
Hopefully, each month the anti-war wiki-project will put particular focus on Wikipedia:Collaborations|collaborating to improve an article in need of attention.
Formerly: Opposition to the Vietnam War
Suggestions for next: anti-war film?Satyagraha?World citizen?
Previous: Protests against the invasion of Iraq (see how it changed)
Due to the demographic of its contributors the English language Wikipedia tends to have a systemic bias towards American and British topics. This project seeks to identify and fill the gaps in the documentation of anti-war projects that are not American or British.
(Please include new entries with dates AfD'd)
Does there exist a systematic bias for deleting anti-war articles when those anti-war articles concern organisations opposed to wars that are supported by Western governments and Western mainstream newspapers? Note that systematic bias does not imply evil intentions by wikipedians. Please help gather the evidence:
For notable anti-war protests and/or demonstrations, the following format is recommended: "[Full date] anti-war protest".
For instance, the article for the large anti-war protest that occurred in Washington DC on September 24, 2005 is titled September 24, 2005 anti-war protest. Redirects to alternate titles may be made at one's own discretion.
See Wikipedia:WikiProject Anti-war/Assessment for information on quality and importance ratings. Note that there are currently two assessment systems as we convert to the Wikipedia 1.0 format. Articles with no quality rating listed here are rated on the new rating system.
