Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternative medicine/To Do List

Alternative medicine covers a big topic area. There are still a lot of topics in complementary and alternative medicine that currently are not covered in Wikipedia.

Introduction
If the links below are still red in color then these topics could be missing from Wikipedia. Wont you write them?

However, these topics should be first researched in order to verify that the topic has not already been written under a different spelling or name variation. The importance of searching first for an existing article on these topics cannot be stressed enough. There is no point writing a competing article that will only end up being deleted or merged.

In addition, newly created articles should not be left as a stub. Articles should always be developed in a private sandbox before being released to the public for reading. Do sufficient research on your topic sufficient to write a full blown article.

Here is how you can avoid writing stub articles
The Glossary of alternative medicine is ideal for avoiding stub articles. All new articles about terms and concepts used in alternative medicine should always start out as a write up in our glossary. Biographies should always start out in the list of people in alternative medicine. Likewise, history articles should always start out in the history of alternative medicine aricle.

Topics that will only be one or two paragraphs in size can be easily added to this glossary. In addition, the content of the glossary of alternative medicine can, also, be easily referenced in articles (for example, Doctrine of Signatures).

Remember that a one or two paragraph write up is what our glossary of alternative medicine and our other annotated lists are for. So, please do not write stub articles.
