Description

This project aims to improve existing articles, and create new high quality articles, about Transcendental Meditation and related programs and technologies, and their organizations, founders, leaders, former leaders, publications, and other closely related topics. This project aims to provide a structured forum where Wikipedians can discuss proposed edits and additions.

This project also aims to tag articles that mention the above topics, such as articles about persons who practice TM. Kevin Carmody (talk) 09:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
