Additional new tasks These include (Please add items to this list): Import in supporting templates for Template:chembox new see Taurine Look for 'what links here' to Template:Category redirect see Category:Lab equipment and make changes Same moving contents of Category:Mood disorders to Category:Affective disorders We are currently seeking someone to maintain the project of setting up appropriate links to the many videos relevant to psychology (eg of Skinner, Seligman etc) that are appearing on Youtube Instructions here. See also Import from Wikipedia articles linked to Template:Phobias We would be particularly interested to hear from individuals or groups who would like to extract from the database a formal, structured ontology (information science) to contribute to the semantic web project and to explore automated systems of information management within our discipline. For controversial topics, it would be great to know how much scientific consensus there is at any time for all sides of an issue. Canonizer.com is being developed with the goal of measuring scientific consensus on such issues. If survey topics have not yet been created for particular controversial issues, they can be created, and links to them added on related articles showing the current measure of scientific consensus on all sides of any issue. Set up the categories for each year of the timeline, establishing categories for each year and for that years and. See recent changes to 1921 for a model.

Improving Articles - Tasks Main article: Psychology Wiki:Improving Articles We always need general help and this is a good place to start if you are new and dont want to start by writing articles. These are good tasks to do if you have only 10-20 minutes to spare. If you dont know which article to work on click on "random page" link on the left. Add references We are aiming at completeness in our referencing. For each article collect together all relevant references. Follow APA style guidelines. Linking references to full text This is a key activity linking our knowledge to the evidence base in a way that is accessible to all. Use search engines to locate copies of papers and link to them. Adding ISBN numbers to book references. Go to a site like Amazon to identify ISBN. Copy it to the end of the book reference. Remove the colon so it reads ISBN xxxx and the software will do the rest. This will become increasingly important as libraries link their catalogue systems together and will enable us to locate books worldwide. Linking book titles to Book details page Put link around book title. Then copy Book record card into the linked blank page and fill in details. Correct spelling and punctuation. This help is always useful and adds to the professional appearance of the site. Remove unneeded links As the articles have been copied from Wikipedia they contain links to places, to general categories of things (human beings, animals, centuries etc) or to non-psychological categories that we do not need on this site. You can help by taking away the pairs of square brackets around these words to remove the link. Remove inappropriate content Some of the articles copied from Wikipedia contain information not relevant to an academic psychology site and this can be deleted. Improve our list of Journals The web page address of each journal needs checking and including against the journal name on the list. list your progress on the discussion page so people know what has been done. Then for each journal the Journal record card text needs copying onto their page and the information filling in. Improve an article Articles in Category:Pages needing expert attention are listed on the link at the foot of this page. If you have a particular interest in a field these articles would benefit from you attention.
