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.

I've removed the cut and paste from https://gettingpastyourpast.wordpress.com/mourning-theory in the Life and Death Drives section. As explained here I don't see a rewrite as necessary as the content was off-topic in the first place. Would be useful elsewhere in the article. Almanacer (talk) 11:51, 22 December 2016 (UTC
Freud has been very robustly criticised and his work has been rejected in part or in whole by modern psychology. You get no sense of that from reading this page which is extremely long and fairly hagiographic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ebefl (talk • contribs) 14:55, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Psychologists have not taken Freud seriously in scientific terms for a very long time, but then it's debatable whether psychology amounts to a science (an actual body of knowledge) anyway. Instead he is considered a cultural or literary figure, because he popularised the idea of the unconscious mind. Khamba Tendal (talk) 19:20, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While this description is not inaccurate, it is not the main characteristic Sigmund Freud is known for. The primary description should be ‘Austrian-Jewish Founder of Psychoanalysis’.
If you want to add more description on Freud's origin, you can write "Chezc-born Austrian founder of Psychoanalysis", but usually, write in the Article Introduction the Jewish Origin of persons is not included, it is in Early Life. Gabriel Ziegler (talk) 23:59, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How is it misleading? He was indeed a neurologist (medical doctor specializing in neurology), and also the founder of psychoanalysis. And that's what the lead says. EEng18:44, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In general I think we need to separate out MOS issues (desirable changes) from information deletion issues (questionable changes). Need to go over the latter in detail. Almanacer (talk) 20:37, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
