To-do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment/Sustainability task force: edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2023-02-09

Have the {{environment}} template modified so articles can be categorised into this task force.
Create a Sustainability in Foo series of articles (where Foo is a sovereign country).

I think "Sustainability in Foo" is better than "Sustainable development in Foo" since the former is more inclusive of a wider range of topics. It must be qualified as environmental sustainability. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:05, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Create a Glossary of sustainability
~~Create an Index of sustainability-related articles.~~ (already at Index of sustainability articles)

I created these here and here, including the template. However, people did not approve of the template and, you thought the content was unnecessarily long Alan. Granitethighs 05:07, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Article guidelines

Editors should familiarized themselves with Wikipedia policy on verifiability and reliable sources.

Sustainability related articles should present sustainability related theories proportional to their weight in reliable sources.

Regarding validity, peripheral or parochial theories should not have their centrality to the discipline misrepresented. We should describe the majority views as such.

When in doubt take a look here at Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines for more information and suggested approaches.

Tagging and assessment

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banners of WikiProject Environment. You may also find {{WikiProjectBanners}} useful. To each of these banners, you should add Sustainability task force = yes as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories., such as Category:Sustainability task force articles.
