==Tasks that need doing==
* Check [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and [[Special:Newpages|new pages]] for spelling, grammar, factual accuracy and possible [[No Subject:Vandalism|vandalism]].

==Collaborative writing==
We're currently writing responses to these creationist articles:
* The [[Discovery Institute]]'s '''''[[Wedge document]]''''', the manifesto for [[Intelligent Design]].
* The '''''[[Missouri ID Bill]]''''', a government bill from Missouri, USA, which attempts to introduce Intelligent Design into the high-school science curriculum.
* [[Kent Hovind]]'s [[Creation Science Hour]]
And trying to turn these pages into [[Talkorigins.org]] standard FAQ pages:
* [[Junk DNA]]: Molecular biology is discovering much about non-coding DNA, help us collect it all together in one place!

==Guide to writing for No Subject==
Our series of help pages for beginners is the place to start:
* [[No Subject:How to start using No Subject|How to start using No Subject]]: Never used a wiki before? This page is a short introduction to how the site works.
* [[No Subject:Help|Help]]: How to edit pages!
* [[No Subject:Goals|Goals]], [[No Subject:Editorial philosophy|Editorial philosophy]] and [[No Subject:Suggested uses of No Subject|Suggested uses for No Subject]] should give you some ideas for what to write about.
* [[No Subject:Terms of use|Terms of use]]: The legal bits and copyright information.
These pages may be useful to more experienced users:
* [[No Subject:Templates|Templates]]: A list of template texts that you may wish to include in pages.

==News==
* '''2006-4-30''': Pooped.
''Older news is archived at [[No Subject:News]].''

==Tip of the day==
Get annoyed writing out the same piece of text on multiple pages? You can create your own template on a sub-page of your user page:
* Add the link <nowiki>[[/TemplateName]]</nowiki> (where "TemplateName" is the name of your template) to your user page.
* Add the text of your template to this new sub-page.
* To add the template to a page, you simply have to add this code: <nowiki>{{subst:User:YourUserName/TemplateName}}</nowiki> (substituting your own user name and template page name).
For example, [[user:Steinsky]] has templates for textbook references:
* ''<nowiki>{{subst:User:Steinsky/iGenetics}}</nowiki>'' becomes:
* Russel, P.J., 2003. ''iGenetics''. San Francisco: Benjamin Cummins.
