The Forum for Encyclopedic Standards is a place where Wikipedians committed to writing quality articles can meet to promote encyclopedic and scholarly standards, even if they are not participants on the Wikimedia Foundation, the IRC channel, the mailing list, and conflict resolution committees (and who in turn currently lack a voice in the formulation of policy).
Like the Business and Economics Forum, another voluntary association on Wikipedia, our mission is to build a vibrant community with a pool of expertise that will match any organization, corporate or university.
We envision developing or refining:
- A set of goals for articles.
- A system to indicate articles or article versions that have attained those goals.
- A quality-based method of resolving editorial disputes.
