Welcome to WikiProject LGBT studies! We're a group of editors who aim to improve Wikipedia's coverage of
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender (
LGBT), and
queer studies topics. WP:LGBT brings together Wikipedians of all sexual orientations, gender identities, geographic locations, and personal backgrounds to collaborate on expanding and improving LGBT content across Wikipedia.
The scope of WP:LGBT includes:
Identifying and categorizing LGBT and queer studies articles on Wikipedia
Developing and applying standards for assessing LGBT and queer studies articles
Improving existing LGBT and queer studies articles and ensuring they are in-line with Wikipedia's standards and policies
Identifying notable LGBT and queer studies topics not yet included in Wikipedia and creating articles for them
Identifying and developing standardized tables, templates and categorization schemes for LGBT and queer studies articles
Identifying potential material that may be transwikied — (i.e. collect information for possible high-quality LGBT/Queer studies textbooks for
Wikibooks)
This project does not extol any point of view, political or otherwise, other than that of a neutral documentarian.
