Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy/Ethics

Welcome to the Ethics Task Force, a task forceofWikiProject 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.

• Add yourself to the Participants Roster.

• Watchlist and monitor the Ethics log.

• 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}}.

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.
