This [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] focuses on improving articles related to the field of [[economics]].

==Goals==
* The '''goal''' of this project is to provide a forum for discussion of economics articles and topics, and through discussion, provide guidelines for articles related to the field of economics. 
* The '''vision''' of this project is to improve every economics article substantially so that every article reaches the level of quality of a [[WP:FA|Featured Article]].
* The '''aspiration''' of this project is to make Wikipedia an authoritative guide to economics.

Vehicles for discussion include relevant sections below and at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Economics]].

==Editing guidelines==
When editing, project members should keep in mind the core Wikipedia content policies,   ''[[WP:V|Verifiability]]'', ''[[WP:NOR|No original research]]'' and ''[[WP:NPOV|Neutral point of view]]''. 
* Economic theories and viewpoints presented should be supported by ''[[WP:SOURCES|reliable sources]]''. Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available. 
* Various economic theories and viewpoints should be given [[WP:DUE| due weight]] in proportion to their prominence in reliable sources. 
* Regarding [[WP:VALID|validity]], peripheral or parochial theories should not have their centrality to the discipline misrepresented.  We should describe mainstream and majority views as such, and minority views as such.

[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Economics/Reliable_sources_and_weight|WikiProject Economics/Reliable sources and weight]] gives guidance on obtaining reliable sources and assigning due weight in economics articles. 
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Economics/Style guide|WikiProject Economics/Style guide]] describes a proposed style for economics articles.
