This is a WikiProject, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of a particular topic, or to organizing some internal Wikipedia process. Please see the Guide to WikiProjects and the Directory of WikiProjects for more information. |

Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group, whose aim is:
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage of statistics and the organization of information and articles on this topic.
This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to do lists below.
This WikiProject covers articles related to statistics, including the history of statistics and biographies of statisticians. Articles within its scope include those in:
- List of statistics topics
- Category:Statistics and its sub-categories
- Category:Statisticians and its sub-categories
The list of statistics topics is being extended to include existing articles not previously listed and any new or unlisted statistics-related articles should be added. The list contains 1212 items, including some redirects (04 August 2008: was 945 on 22 May 2008). The list is not at present very sophisticated and this project could undertake general improvements given that lists are far more versatile than categories. Look at list of mathematics articles and lists of mathematics topics.
Some priority articles that the project hopes to make progress with are those in:
Guidelines
Here are general guidelines for different types of articles in the project.
- Consider adding one of these navigational boxes to the end of the article:
-
- {{Statistics}} (example: Statistical hypothesis testing)
- {{ProbDistributions}} (example: Binomial distribution)
- {{Medical research studies}} (example: Randomized controlled trial)
- {{Theory of probability distributions}} (example: Probability mass function)
- {{Statistics journals}} (example: The American Statistician)
- Add {{WPStatistics}} to the article's discussion page
- Tag the discussion page with
- {{maths rating | field=probability and statistics | importance= | class=}}
- using appropriate values for the class and importance parameters as described in the.
General statistics articles
- Use one or more sub-category of Category:Statistics
- Tag stubs with {{statistics-stub}}
Probability distributions
- Include either the {{Probability distribution}} (e.g., Negative binomial distribution) or the {{Probability distribution two}} (e.g., Geometric distribution) infobox (feel free to leave some parameters blank)
- Add an appropriate sub-category of Category:Probability distributions
- Tag stubs with {{probability-stub}}
Biographies of statisticians
- Include {{infobox scientist}} with all known information.
- Add Category:Statisticians or one of its sub-categories
- Make sure you follow the policy on Biographies of living persons
- Add {{WPBiography}} to the article's discussion page (include "|living=yes" to the template for living persons)
Participants
Please feel free to add (or delete) your name below, and to indicate any areas of particular interest. You may also wish to add {{User WikiProject Statistics}} to your User page, which will add your name to Category:WikiProject Statistics members.
The first eleven names below are of those who signed up during the initial discussion on WikiProject Council/Proposals, as archived at /Proposal.

Review and assessment
WikiProject Mathematics has a well-established sub-project for assessing articles at WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0 that tabulates articles tagged with {{maths rating | field=probability and statistics}}. Full details are at WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Probability and statistics. The tables are automatically compiled by VeblenBot.

Templates
Category:Statistics templates includes a list of templates used by this project.
Banner
If you find an article that falls under the scope of this project, feel free to add this banner to the top of its talk page by typing {{WPStatistics}} (or {{WikiProject Statistics}}), which will produce:
| WikiProject Statistics | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|||||||
Articles that show the banner on the talk page are automatically included in the Wikiproject Statistics articles category.
Portal
You can insert a link to the statistics portal (like the one shown at the right) by adding {{Statistics portal}} to the article - usually in the "See also" section (or equivalent).
Navigational templates
- {{Statistics}}
- {{ProbDistributions}}
- {{Medical research studies}}
- {{Theory of probability distributions}}
- {{Statistics journals}}
- {{Least squares and regression analysis}}
Infobox templates
- Keep all parameters in {{Probability distribution}} and {{Probability distribution two}} to avoid raw code for them appearing in the infobox. Leave unknown parameters blank.
- Delete inapplicable parameters in {{Infobox scientist}}. Leave applicable but unknown parameters blank.
