About WP:LGBTQ

Welcome to WikiProject LGBTQ studies! We're a group of editors who aim to improve Wikipedia's coverage of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ ) topics, including queer studies. WP:LGBTQ brings together Wikipedians of all sexual orientations, gender identities, geographic locations, and personal backgrounds to collaborate on expanding and improving LGBTQ content across Wikipedia.

The scope of WP:LGBTQ includes:

1. Identifying and categorizing LGBTQ articles on Wikipedia
2. Developing and applying standards for assessing LGBTQ articles
3. Improving existing LGBTQ articles and ensuring they are in-line with Wikipedia's standards and policies
4. Identifying notable LGBTQ topics not yet included in Wikipedia and creating articles for them
5. Identifying and developing standardized tables, templates and categorization schemes for LGBTQ articles
6. Identifying potential material that may be transwikied — (i.e. collect information for possible high-quality LGBTQ textbooks for Wikibooks)
7. Maintaining Portal:LGBTQ and Portal:Transgender

This project does not extol any point of view, political or otherwise, other than that of a neutral documentarian.
