| <big>'''WikiProject Objectivism'''</big><br />Welcome to the Objectivism WikiProject, a group of [[:Category:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] devoted to collaborating on and improving articles related to '''[[Objectivism]]'''.
|
|-
|}

==Scope==
The purpose of this WikiProject is to co-ordinate the creation and editing of comprehensive articles on Wikipedia covering all aspects of the philosophy of [[Objectivism]] and related topics.

Work on the Objectivism-related articles on Wikipedia has all too often descended into edit wars and other unpleasantness that only serves to hamper progress. However, members of this project believe that disputes on articles relating to Objectivism can be resolved amicably, and it is hoped that this formal WikiProject will foster communication among those with an interest in Objectivism, and assist in overcoming the factionalism that so often causes edit wars and other disputes on the Objectivism-related pages here.

The scope of the project covers articles directly related to Objectivism as a system of ideas and also articles concerning individual personalities that have considerable relation to the philosophy, most obviously [[Ayn Rand]]. The project is a descendant of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Philosophy|WikiProject Philosophy]].
