Welcome to the WikiProject Paranormal, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Misplaced Pages's coverage of the paranormal and anomalous phenomena. Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in some of the articles related to the paranormal, protoscience, and fringe science.

Goals

  1. Achieve, to the extent possible, a scholarly, generally agreed-upon, scientifically accurate, culturally accurate, and clear terminology to be used in paranormal-related articles.
  2. Edit selected articles concerning paranormal phenomena to achieve an accurate, verified, NPOV state.
  3. Expand Paranormal, Protoscientific, and Fringe Science Stubs
  4. Fix the neutrality of disputed, high traffic articles
  5. Patrol frequently vandalized Paranormal, Protoscientific, and Fringe Science articles

Scope

The purpose of this project is to get articles within our areas of interest out of protection, disputation, and tagged status and create excellent, encyclopedic articles which have broad consensus and may remain stable. Subjects covered by this project include:

Paranormal describes subjects studied under parapsychology, which deals with psychic phenomena like telepathy, extra-sensory perception, psychokinesis, and post-mortem survival studies like reincarnation, ghosts, and hauntings. However, as a broader category, the paranormal sometimes describes subjects outside the scope of parapsychology, including anomalous events, purported phenomena, and many other non-psychical subjects.

This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Misplaced Pages:WikiProjects and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject best practices. To join this Wikiproject sign our participants section (though you may also find it useful to add some of our project pages, particularly the main project discussion page, to your watchlist to help become more involved).

Showcase

The following is a list of articles within the scope of the project that have been noted for their outstanding quality. Project members are encouraged to peruse these at their leisure, as they serve as excellent examples of different writing and organizational styles that one may wish to emulate. Please note that the project does not necessarily claim any authorship or credit for creating these. While some were written by members—sometimes with extensive input from the project as a whole—others were created by uninvolved editors, or predate the existence of the project itself, and are listed here merely because they fall within our scope.
