The following discussion is an archived proposal of the WikiProject below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the project's talk page (if created) or the WikiProject Council). No further edits should be made to this page.

The proposed WikiProject was not created. Sound proposal, but lacks membership. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:27, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Description

[edit]

Although the Wikipedia:WikiProject Science already exists, Forensic science is a special subset of the sciences, both pure and applied, that intersects with legal matters and that intersection imparts great differences upon its disciplines and practitioners that academic sciences rarely encounter. This WikiProject aims to coordinate the scientific and non-scientific articles that touch upon forensics across the vast array of subject matter such that it warrants its own WikiProject.

Articles on forensic disciplines, laboratories, organizations, practitioners, important cases, and case law are all topics for consideration. TimothyPilgrim (talk) 16:44, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
Forensic science has many subdisciplines that have their own special niches, but work together within a common framework of law and quality assurance systems, so they bear more resemblance to each other than to traditional academic sciences. Therefore, their topics require a special attention that would be absent in other articles that fall under the massive Wikipedia:WikiProject Science portfolio. For instance, somebody interested in editing an article on the Innocence Project might not have any inking to edit a common biological or chemistry article. Likewise an editor familiar with quantum physics may not typically work on an article about Admissibility of Evidence, but a forensic scientist crosses that void. It's like the Upside Down, a separate dimension that connects science and law together as one.
