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.

Leftist hagiography
This article must have been been purged of all information that might cast Chomsky in a negative light to people on the left. Either that, or you have here an immense and supposedly comprehensive article that manages to bring up R.E.M.--yes, the band--but somehow stay mum on what Chomsky had to say about the Khmer Rouge and Serb atrocities in the Balkans. Funny how that works. The article is locked in a state of leftist hagiography. And since it devotes a whole section to his influence even though it's supposed to be about his political views, why not also devote a section to all the times Chomsky has been accused of manipulating quotations (i.e., slandering), going all the way back to American Power and the new Mandarins? I happen to think that being called "an ignorant man who has read superficially in American history" by Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. is a bit more relevant than being called "the Elvis of academia" by Bono.89.121.160.79 (talk)
"Worldwide audience" section
Radiohead are mentioned in this section: would fix, but article is locked. Says, "Radiohead has recommended Chomsky's works on their various websites and Thom Yorke in particular is an admirer..." - however, this should read, "Radiohead have recommended Chomsky's works on their various websites and Thom Yorke in particular is an admirer..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_American_and_British_English#Formal_and_notional_agreement
Views on Russia contain debunked fake-quote

In an interview with New Statesman published in April 2023, Chomsky is quoted in saying that Russia was fighting more "humanely" in Ukraine than the U.S. did in Iraq, and that Russia was "acting with restraint and moderation" as Ukraine had not suffered "large-scale destruction of infrastructure" compared to Iraq.[137] Chomsky also asserted that Ukraine was not a free actor, that it was the U.S. and then United Kingdom which refused peace negotiations to further their own national interests, and that U.S. military aid to Ukraine is aimed at degrading Russian military forces.[137] Chomsky also argued that the applications to join NATO by Sweden and Finland had "nothing to do with fear of a Russian attack, which has never been even conceived", but instead was to give both countries new markets for their military industries and access to advanced equipment.[137]
With:In an interview[1] with New Statesman published in April 2023, Chomsky is quoted in saying that Russia was fighting more "humanely" in Ukraine than the U.S. did in Iraq, and that Russia was "acting with restraint and moderation" as Ukraine had not suffered "large-scale destruction of infrastructure" compared to Iraq.[2] However, the author of the article admitted that the quote "acting with restraint and moderation" was his editorial wording and not uttered by Chomsky, and the quote on "fighting more humanely" was put in Chomsky's mouth by the interviewer.[3] In the same interview Chomsky also asserted that Ukraine was not a free actor, that it was the U.S. and then United Kingdom which refused peace negotiations to further their own national interests, and that U.S. military aid to Ukraine is aimed at degrading Russian military forces.[2] Chomsky also argued that the applications to join NATO by Sweden and Finland had "nothing to do with fear of a Russian attack, which has never been even conceived", but instead was to give both countries new markets for their military industries and access to advanced equipment.[2]
Explanation:
In https://www-telepolis-de.translate.goog/features/Wie-Noam-Chomsky-Opfer-eines-Fake-News-Angriffs-wurde-9154375.html?seite=all&_x_tr_sl=de&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp it is demonstrated how the "New Statesman" used very misleading language to make it seem as if the quotes used in the this lemma <<Chomsky is quoted in saying that Russia was fighting more "humanely" in Ukraine than the U.S. did in Iraq, and that Russia was "acting with restraint and moderation">> were uttered by Chomsky. They were not. The Interview is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJGYmfTaFRw and he does not say that. Asked about it, the article author retracted:<<"The headline does not come from me, but from my editors," Vock wrote in response to a Telepolis request. The alleged statement on Russia's "restrained and moderate" war "was my editorial phrasing, not a quote".>>(see telepolis article).
Using a single interview repeatedly putting word into Chomsky's mouth - and a strongly missleading article at that - is not enough to justify as substantiating Chomskys view on mayor issues.
