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.

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 (Not yet finished) to the talk pages of astrology articles, and modify the template if you feel it can be improved. Or propose a new template given that one hasn't been put forward yet.

Participants

 * -- history and transmission of astrology, with a focus on the Hellenistic and Medieval traditions

Possible projects
Suggest something for participants to work on. Older suggestions will be archived; to see what work others have requested, go to the Projects subpage.



Categorization and media

 * Wikipedia: Monitor the broad astrology categories and keep them clean by replacing overly broad categories with more specific ones.
 * Commons: Ensure that history of science-related images are properly categorized, especially in relevant history of science subcategories. Many history of science images are very poorly categorized, making it very difficult to find all the files on a given topic actually present.
 * Wikisource: Upload public domain content related to the history of science and ensure that existing content is properly categorized. There is currently very little marked history of science content on Wikisource.

Requested Articles

 * Tetrabiblos - There is a discussion right now on Reference desk/Humanities under "Ptolemy" about the fact that it was redirecting. A stub article is needed as a placeholder.
