WikiProject Intellectual Diversity

WikiProject Intellectual Diversity aims to help Wikipedia to recover the original principles of fair decision-making, genuine neutrality, transparent governance, and responsiveness to the public.

Mission

More fully, we seek to help Wikipedia to:

• Adopt fairer methods of reaching decisions on editorial and personnel questions.
• Return to the original neutrality policy, explicitly tolerating multiple points of view and acknowledging legitimate differences in judgment about source reliability.
• Ensure Wikipedia's editorial governance is fully transparent and accountable.
• Encourage the adoption of tools whereby the public, both for its own sake and editors’, can evaluate and respond to articles.

We will work to advance these principles iteratively, not all at once—dramatic change not being how Wikipedia works—but in concrete, achievable, incremental ways.

Scope

Our scope extends to policy pages, guidelines, and essays relevant to these categories of reforms. We do not assert any authority over such pages. Rather, we will be reviewing and proposing changes to them. We will do so in various appropriate venues, including various relevant article talk pages, where issues are being discussed and principles applied, as well as talk pages of major policies and guidelines (e.g., Wikipedia talk:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources, and Wikipedia talk:Verifiability).

We will pay close attention to RfCs, the Village Pump, Dispute resolution, and occasionally ArbCom. We will also track relevant noticeboards where policy interpretation and enforcement questions are frequently addressed, including Administrators' noticeboard, ANI, Reliable sources noticeboard, NPOV noticeboard, Conflict of interest noticeboard, and BLP noticeboard.
