Wikipedia:WikiProject Freemasonry (WP:FM)

Welcome to WikiProject Freemasonry! If you've come to this place and are interested in improving Freemasonry-related knowledge on Wikipedia, simply add your name to the list of participants and jump right in. You might find it helpful to watch this page and the pages listed in the convenient links section below.  The scope of this project is to handle all things related to the fraternity known as Freemasonry, its Grand Lodges, appendant and concordant organizations and related practices.  All articles should be written in a neutral and well-documented manner, and placed within the hierarchy starting at Category:Freemasonry.  All editors with a genuine interest in Freemasonry are encouraged to join and participate.  The {{WikiProject Freemasonry}} template has |class= and |importance= parameters that provide an article assessment rating. Think of "class" as representing the article's quality and completeness, and "importance" as the priority of an article's subject matter to be expanded by this WikiProject. The two assessments measure different parameters: a Start or Stub class article may well be of High or even Top importance, and vice versa.  Assessing an article's quality (other than FA or GA) and importance is done by placing the following template on its talk page, and filling in the appropriate parameter values: {{WikiProject Freemasonry|class=???|importance=???}} If you are unsure of either, leave the value blank, thus: |class=| or |importance=| The following values may be used for the |class= parameter.  FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Freemasonry articles) GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Freemasonry articles) B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Freemasonry articles) C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Freemasonry articles) Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Freemasonry articles) Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Freemasonry articles) ??? If a quality rating is not assigned, the article will be placed in Category:Unassessed Freemasonry articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. Articles that are unassessed or in dispute can be discussed on the project's article assessment page.The following values may be used for the |importance= parameter.  Top (Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia) High (Subject contributes a depth of knowledge) Mid (Subject fills in more minor details) Low (Subject is mainly of specialist interest) NA (for pages where importance assessment is unnecessary, such as Template, Category, Disambiguation and Redirect pages; adds items to Category:NA-importance Freemasonry articles) ??? If an importance rating is not assigned, the article will be placed in Category:Unknown-importance Freemasonry articles. The rating should be assigned according to the grading scheme. As stated above, articles that are unassessed or in dispute can be discussed on the project's article assessment page. Editors are expected to adhere to all Wikipedia policies when creating articles, and behave in a collegial manner.

Upgrade the Freemasonry page to Featured Article status. Our flagship article needs a bit of polishing and a bit of thought to progress from Good Article to FA status. Articles for all Grand Lodges considered regular by the United Grand Lodge of England and major European lodges (if notable). The articles Ancient and Primitive Rite and Rite of Memphis-Misraim need to be consolidated into one, describing the rite(s) history and current use. This would be a big project requiring someone to do a lot of research.   === Vandalism === Report repeated vandalism of Freemasonry-related pages here so that an admin can deal with the issue.   === Featured articles === None at present   === Good articles === Adolphus Frederick Alexander Woodford Belgrave Ninnis Freemasonry Freemasonry and women Masonic Hall, Taunton   === Did You Knows (DYKs) === None at present   === Former featured articles === Freemasonry   === Former good articles === None   === Former Did You Knows (DYKs) === ...that Indianapolis' Scottish Rite Cathedral is the largest building dedicated to Freemasonry in the United States, and features many measurements in multiples of 33?
