Cleaning up and making one article a first rate Example for how the site should work We have copied much information to the site and are already the 5th Largest Wiki overall. At this point it might be a good idea to take stock and clean up one article to an excellent standard, so that it can be used as an advertisement for the potential of the Psychology Wiki, in order to attract more interest, as well as as an example for how to lay out future articles. Following discussion with Lifeartist, we thought that the best article to do this for would be Depression. So... we need to make Depression and all directly related links really, really good. If we work together it shouldn't be too hard. Tasks for Psychology Wiki (overall) 1) Provide a clear structure for the whole wiki project. 2) Create portal pages or templates that easily link different areas 3) Continue to add content from Wikipedia 4) Improve the existing articles to an academic standard 5) Fully reference these. 6) link references to fulltext copies of the articles where possible List of Sub tasks/articles to edit/add/copy/correct/cleanup Lists of articles to work on are available off the Category:Pages (articles needing expert attention, Psychology-stubs and articles requiring sources} off the bar at the foot of the page.
