Add Atheism info box to all atheism related talk pages (use {{WikiProject Atheism}} or see info box)
Ensure atheism-related articles are members of Atheism by checking whether [[Category:Atheism]] has been added to atheism-related articles – and, where it hasn't, adding it.
Try to expand stubs. Ideas and theories about life, however, are prone to generating neologisms, so some stubs may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process).
State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

@Isabelle Belato Hi Isabelle, is there any possibility that this might be progressed? I'm a volunteer, doing this on behalf of the University of Edinburgh Heritage Collection. If there are any issues, please do not hesitate to let this relative newb know, thanks! UtopiaCaled0nia (talk) 14:00, 18 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for uploading these class cards, they're an interesting detail of that particular phase in Charles Darwin's education, but they're not a significant feature of Darwin's overall biography which this article tries to summarise as concisely as possible. It's already a very large article, which has been extensively scrutinised as a featured article. Looking at the sub-article, I've tried using these images at the University of Edinburgh section where these lectures are discussed and cited to references. No doubt improvements can be made, particularly to the formatting. . . dave souza, talk 20:10, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your response Dave, and I fully understand where you're coming from. I'm still on a learning curve, so all feedback is appreciated. UtopiaCaled0nia (talk) 09:43, 11 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
The current article is fine. It includes the above image with a suitable caption (search for "between 1862 and 1866"). Johnuniq (talk) 05:14, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The account here is the popular one, but it is probably apocryphal. Wikipedia has a page on this debate which gives a more accurate version. MirrorSquirrel (talk) 18:32, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
