Anarchism has been nominated for Good Article status. I have assessed it and placed in on hold so that some points I have raised can be dealt with. I see the article has this project's tag, so am informing people here. My comments are at Talk:Anarchism/GA1.-- Peter cohen ( talk) 16:08, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
I've just expanded the stub article on radicalization, using the obvious low-hanging references relating to Islamic radicalization. However, as a result the article has an excessive emphasis on recent Islamic militancy and terrorism. It badly needs expanding to include other cases of radicalization -- for example, historical communist and fascist movements, as well as historically unimportant groups such as ecoterrorists, the Red Brigades and 19th century and early 20th century militant anarchism -- as well as taking a look at the resemblances and differences between these cases; there must be scholarly research on this. -- The Anome ( talk) 17:36, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm posting this note here to request help with the article at Ethnoreligious group, that has a template from this Wikiproject on the talk page.

If anyone here is interested in this topic, please join the discussion or add sources to the page.

Dear all,
I’ve been trying to help folks who were trying to articulate the latest knowledge on Perception article, but my suggestions did not help much. On top of that, some little egos managed to erode even that little clarity we had.
I have decided, therefore, to simply rewrite the article on the basis of currently available knowledge in the following disciplines: cognitive and developmental psychology, medicine (especially genetics), anthropology, sociology, philosophy and complex (adaptive) systems theory with emphasised references to non-monotonic logics. I am contemplating few other disciplines, but these will suffice for the beginning.
I have drafted the lead into the article and the draft can be found on the related discussion page. I am calling now for comments and contributions backed by the latest science and the latest contemporary philosophical thought. My only condition is clarity and brevity wherever possible. If you find other possible references, they will be welcomed too.
Kind regards, Damir Ibrisimovic ( talk) 22:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
I have put the GA review of Semi-periphery countries on hold as I feel based on a source check that there is a possibility the information as presented could be unreliable.

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles ( BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>> Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Archive 6/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article following its listing at Wikipedia:Good articles/Cleanup listing#Articles with 4 cleanup categories assigned.

Folks, would one of the regulars here have time to review a draft article? It is at User:AgRince/Social Science Research on Greatness. The article was previously in mainspace but after I sent it to Afd, at the request of the creator I moved it to userspace for further work. The creator has done some more work on it and left a couple of requests for feedback, the most recent at WP:Requests for feedback#User:AgRince/Social Science Research on Greatness. If someone would take a look at it and respond at WP:FEED, perhaps also leaving a {{ Feedbackreply}} on the user's talk page, that would be great.

This pitiful stub needs attention. Yes, there is an ASA section dedicated to the subject, but the term is virtually unused outside of one ASA sponsored publication ( [1]). I wonder if this article wouldn't be better of deleted, and shouldn't we instead create three stubs: sociology of conflict ( over 700 GPrint hits, currently a redirect to conflict theory), sociology of war ( 660 hits) and sociology of peace ( - 220 hits) (or sociology of war and peace - 460 hits, with sociology of peace and war coming second at 87 hits). (There is also a larger umbrella Peace and conflict studies). Please note that sociology of war is not the same as sociology of the military. Also, some time ago I stubbed sociology of war on pl wiki ( pl:Socjologia wojny).
Perhaps the current sociology of peace, war, and social conflict could remain as a parent to the others "to be written" articles? I am just not sure how notable is it as a collection of subjects; I am particularly uneasy about the conceptual merger of general "social conflict" with "war and peace". Any thoughts?
For now I will just create a bunch of redirects to this article, but this is strictly a temporary solution. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:15, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
I have proposed merging Ashkenazi intelligence to Ashkenazi Jews. Weigh in at, Talk:Ashkenazi intelligence.

Per the subfields of sociology article and Category:Subfields by academic discipline. FYI. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 16:56, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
This section of the project is quite obsolete, I suggest we redo it. Wikipedia:Article alerts would be a good tool to implement (unfortunately, it just went down for an indefinite period :( ). At this point I'd suggest removing the very arbitrary sections like "Very general articles" and "Theories/sub-fields/topics" (which is a quite useless dupe of subfields of sociology, Outline of sociology or Index of sociology articles. Those long lists are taking attention away from the really useful stuff (like the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Sociology/Cleanup_listing). The "Articles needing review" section seems nice but in needs more visibility (I have just discovered it, anybody here actually monitors it...?). How about moving it to a subpage that would be visible both there and at the top of our discussion page? (I would also like to suggest our own B- and A- class reviews but that requires a higher level of activity then I am seeing now; anybody here would be willing to take parts in such reviews?). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:58, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

As some of you may know, we have a portal. It doesn't look half bad, but there are missing sections: in particular, we need sociological images and news.

I think that's the lot. I think many of these articles need merging together, and a lot of cleanup is needed on most of them. Any help would be appreciated. Fences& Windows 18:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm posting here on the project talk page to let all of you know that I'm eager to hear your comments on a citations list on human intelligence I've put up as a subpage to my user page. The idea is to improve articles within the scope of WikiProject Sociology (e.g., Race and intelligence, currently the subject of an Arbitration Committee case) by sharing citations to reliable sources. You can help by suggesting additional reliable sources to add to the list. I have at hand Pitirim Sorokin's book from before I was born to add to the citations list, and I note that two men academically trained in sociology, James R. Flynn and Charles Murray, have become some of the most visible authors on human intelligence issues, so I'm sure many participants here will have good ideas for additions to the list. Thanks for any suggestions you have. Feel free to use the list to find citations to improve articles all over Wikipedia. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk) 04:23, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Functionalism, is an important sociological concept. Currently there is an article titled "Structural functionalism," which seems to me to be a bit of a misnomer, as I regard structural functionalism as a further development (some might say sub-set) of functionalism. The article is classed as a "high importance" article for sociology. There is currently a proposal for renaming the article on the article talk page. Your comments would be most welcome. Sunray ( talk) 23:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Religion and sex integration and Sex segregation and religion need serious revision. I've already cut out a lot of redundant cut-and-paste material, and what is left looks like two halves of a set of notes for an early draft for an essay, rather than an encyclopedia article. I suggest that they first need to be merged, and then extensively revised, to create a single coherent article. -- The Anome ( talk) 12:18, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

In the current article on "Interpersonal Relations" the only mention/definition of capitalisation is the following quote: People often turn to others to share their good news (termed “capitalization”). (under the headline: "Capitalizing on positive events")
What i miss (and it might be a completely separate topic) is information concerning the modern pecuniary capitalisation [of the IR] as examplified by (virtual) social relations through media such as Facebook, phone companies and dating services etc. 87.51.147.41 ( talk) 08:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Comment: the article was now merged to positivism. See Talk:Positivism#Sociological_positivism and User_talk:Tomsega#Sociological_positivism. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:35, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
I think we should do our own census or otherwise see how many participants are active. It is something I've been doing periodically for other projects I am (was) involved in. It helps to transform this list into something more meaningful. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:52, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
The current wikiproject logo is actually an icon from Microsoft Windows Vista. I think that's a little embarrassing. Would anyone mind if I changed it to a logo similar to the one I made for the portal bar? DarwinPeacock ( talk) 01:26, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
As some of you may know, we have a portal. It doesn't look half bad, but there are missing sections: in particular, we need sociological images and news. We could also develop more biographies, quotes and did you know selections. Anybody interested? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:18, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
We have currently three articles that I think may be overlapping to some degree:
Should be consider some form of a merge? PS. I also created a disambig at sociology of conflict (which potentially may need to be its own article, too). -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:42, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Please see the following request for comment. Talk:Judaism#Should_the_term_.22religion.22_appear_descriptively_in_the_first_sentence.3F. Input would be much appreciated. Griswaldo ( talk) 04:11, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
See a question I posted on Talk:Sociology#Article getting too long. I am arguing that the article needs to be turned into more of a summary narrative. Please read and give your feedback. DarwinPeacock ( talk) 18:34, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Social movements. Thoughts and comments appreciated! -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:48, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
I have created a task force: Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Social movements task force. My next step is to get the task force assessment system working and start assessing the articles from Category:Social movements. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:14, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
A new portal Portal:Terrorism is now up for portal peer review, the review page is at Wikipedia:Portal peer review/Terrorism/archive1. I put a bit of work into this and feedback would be appreciated prior to featured portal candidacy. Thank you for your time, -- Cirt ( talk) 14:58, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Request for Comment at page, List of Scientologists. Please see discussion on talk page, at "RfC: Should people be self-proclaimed Scientologists in order to be included on this list?" Thank you for your time, -- Cirt ( talk) 02:57, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I am requesting a listing of most popular pages in care of our project. Soon we should have the Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology/Popular pages page populated, and it will look like this one. PS. If you want to add such a listing to other projects, the instructions are here. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 18:08, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
Who cares if the "Sociology of race and ethnic relations" page doesn't represent a worldview of the subject? This is the english language wikipedia. I think it's okay to focus on western society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.206.88.170 ( talk) 02:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed that we have a profusion of overlapping articles on various "literacies": Technological literacy, Electracy, Transliteracy, Multimedia literacy, Computer literacy, Information literacy, Media literacy, Information and media literacy, Digital literacy, Multiliteracy, New literacies, Web-based new literacies, Transmediation, Computers and writing... I think that's the lot. I think many of these articles need merging together, and a lot of cleanup is needed on most of them. Any help would be appreciated. Fences& Windows 18:57, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
I'm posting here on the project talk page to let all of you know that I'm eager to hear your comments on a citations list on human intelligence I've put up as a subpage to my user page. The idea is to improve articles within the scope of WikiProject Sociology (e.g., Race and intelligence, currently the subject of an Arbitration Committee case) by sharing citations to reliable sources. You can help by suggesting additional reliable sources to add to the list. I have at hand Pitirim Sorokin's book from before I was born to add to the citations list, and I note that two men academically trained in sociology, James R. Flynn and Charles Murray, have become some of the most visible authors on human intelligence issues, so I'm sure many participants here will have good ideas for additions to the list. Thanks for any suggestions you have. Feel free to use the list to find citations to improve articles all over Wikipedia. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk) 04:23, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
Functionalism, is an important sociological concept. Currently there is an article titled "Structural functionalism," which seems to me to be a bit of a misnomer, as I regard structural functionalism as a further development (some might say sub-set) of functionalism. The article is classed as a "high importance" article for sociology. There is currently a proposal for renaming the article on the article talk page. Your comments would be most welcome.

Religion and sex integration and Sex segregation and religion need serious revision. I've already cut out a lot of redundant cut-and-paste material, and what is left looks like two halves of a set of notes for an early draft for an essay, rather than an encyclopedia article. I suggest that they first need to be merged, and then extensively revised, to create a single coherent article. -- The Anome ( talk) 12:18, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
Origin of sex segregation looks like it is need of similar treatment. -- The Anome ( talk) 12:23, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
In the current article on "Interpersonal Relations" the only mention/definition of capitalisation is the following quote: People often turn to others to share their good news (termed “capitalization”). (under the headline: "Capitalizing on positive events")
What i miss (and it might be a completely separate topic) is information concerning the modern pecuniary capitalisation [of the IR] as examplified by (virtual) social relations through media such as Facebook, phone companies and dating services etc. 87.51.147.41 ( talk) 08:01, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
