The goal of WikiProject Probability is to help in the improvement of articles related to probability theory and to probability more generally. There is a related project, Wikipedia:WikiProject Statistics that deals with statistics. While many will feel there is considerable overlap between these two fields of study, it is also clear that many potential participant will have no strong interest in the non-mathematical aspects of statistics, while many others will have no interest in the more technical parts of probability theory that are unnecessary for statistical data analysis.
This project's talk page should be a good place for non project members to discuss Wikipedia's general content about probability, and probability theory in particular. Comments on particular articles should ideally go on those articles' talk pages, by the project's talk page might be used to call attention to such discussion.
Articles now already exist for a wide range of probability topics, as evidenced by the list of probability topics (which is incomplete). Attention is needed to bring these in line with Wikipedia:Manual of Style (mathematics), with concerns ranging from the formatting of mathematics to the need to provide some initial content for articles that will be understandable by a general readership: see WP:LEAD.
