Assessment

A major component of any WikiProject is assessing the quality of its articles. One of the initial duties of this project is to assign ratings on all articles based on two scales: its present quality and its relative importance.

Good sources for Bahá'í-related articles
Finding good sources is key to developing Bahá'í-related articles. Shortcut WP:WPBFS This page offers a list of suggested sources for articles relating to the Bahá'í Faith. The sources below are classified according to their type: Either they are primary, secondary, or tertiary sources. Reliable, published secondary sources are preferred on Wikipedia, especially in establishing the notability of a subject (see WP:PSTS), but all three types of sources can be used to support statements within articles. All analyses and interpretive or synthetic claims about primary sources must be referenced to a secondary or tertiary source, and must not be an original analysis of the primary-source material by Wikipedia editors. An additional concern when selecting a source for an article is its independence: Sources must be intellectually independent of their subject in order to prove that they are notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. In this case, it means that relying solely on Bahá'í sources (or, conversely, on "anti-Bahá'í" sources) is not sufficient to establish notability. Primary sources [edit] The following can be considered as primary sources, as they collect original materials produced by the central figures of the Bahá'í Faith and by Bahá'í institutions. These sources are generally not independent, as they are closely associated with the worldwide Bahá'í community.

Tasks

A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

As a consequence of assessing the strength of articles and the scope defined above, members are encouraged to perform the following tasks on articles:

Fixing formatting and spelling issues
Categorization
Avoiding redirects and using proper Baháʼí orthography where appropriate.
- But also always making very friendly and searchable redirects (Bahai foo → Baháʼí foo, and Baha'i foo → Baháʼí foo)
Monitoring deletion and renaming discussions for articles, categories, templates, and other pages.
Using neutral language in articles that express excessively sympathetic or critical language to Baháʼí perspectives.
Translating articles into other languages.
Translating articles into simple English for the Simple English Wikipedia. At present, there are seven articles on the Baháʼí Faith in the Simple English Wikipedia.
Create redirects for articles whose names include diacritics.
Add appropriately-formatted citations to articles.
Expand stubs.
Archiving talk pages.
Splitting and merging pages as necessary.
Checking Wikipedia:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith/Encyclopedic articles for any articles which might be contained in one or more reference books which Wikipedia might not yet have, or perhaps to see what other reference sources say on the same topics.

Collaborations

A common feature of many WikiProjects is a collaboration - an article selected by those users for special focus for a period of time. As assessment gets under way and users join the WikiProject, it is desirable to select collaborations for improving articles one at a time.

Wikiquote has pages for quotations by and about persons and topics. Presently, there are pages in English on Baháʼí Faith, Baháʼu'lláh, the Báb, and `Abdu'l-Bahá.
Wikisource allows users to upload original documents. As of this writing, there are not any relevant documents uploaded there. Since many texts related to the Baháʼí Faith can be reproduced in the public domain, it is possible to upload them there. It is vitally important that you understand the proper copyright status of any document or text before uploading it to Wikisource.
Wiktionary provides dictionary definitions, including one on Baháʼí.
Wikiversity encourages collaboration on learning resources and has a topic on the Baháʼí Studies. You can add resources from other Wikimedia projects there, as well as direct readers to print and Internet resources that will help provide a more comprehensive view of the Baháʼí Faith.

In addition, all of these projects have multilingual components, so you are not limited to simply editing and strengthening English-language pages. There are simple English editions of Wikibooks, Wikiquote, and Wiktionary and none of them presently have any material related to the Baháʼí Faith.
