Welcome to the astronomy WikiProject! If you enjoy gazing at the night sky, watching the Moon, stars and planets, or reading about the latest astronomical discoveries, then this is the project for you. We need help from enthusiasts at all levels of experience. There are over 30,000 astronomy articles on Wikipedia, and many are in need of expansion, fact checking, referencing, and copy editing. If this topic interests you, please sign the membership list and join the discussion.
Our goal at WikiProject Astronomy is to guide the organization and style of all Astronomy-related articles, maintain and improve the Category:Astronomy tree, and support the Portal:Astronomy. The overall significance of an article to this project, and to the topic of astronomy in general, is shown by its
WPAstronomy importance rating, as set by our members. Astronomy articles considered of vital importance to Wikipedia are listed on the expanded vital articles list.
Would you want to work with WikiProject Astronomy? Here's how:
Create new articles, if an article is already created in another language that you are comfortable with try translating it to English Always remember to use reliable sources and ensure that the article is Notable.
Help complete and expand current articles.
Create and improve existing astronomical templates.
Comment and discuss ideas and points on RfC's, AfD's, and TfD's.
Help categorize articles and templates.
Add {{WikiProject Astronomy|class=|importance=}} to the talk page of astronomical articles
