Welcome to the Cryptozoology WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to cryptozoology, a pseudoscience and subculture.

Goals
  • The goal of this WikiProject is to improve coverage of cryptozoology on English Wikipedia
Scope
  • This project covers notable figures and topics related to the subculture, its history, geographical diffusion, and related places and people. We will specifically deal with all articles contained in the Category:Cryptozoology and its subcategories.
What Wikiproject Cryptozoology is not
  • While cryptozoology is a fringe topic, this project (like all others) is not a pro-fringe view platform (See WP:FRINGE). This WikiProject is not a platform for pseudoscience adherents to promote fringe views. That said, all users are welcome to contribute and are invited to do so.

Please also make sure that each new article created is put into one of the categories for cryptozoology subjects, so that the articles will appear there.
