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.

"
Maria made an agreement with her sister, Bronisława, that she would give her financial assistance during Bronisława's medical studies in Paris
"
I feel this is ambiguous as to who "she would give her financial assistance" refers to. I had to go to the sources, and can tell you "she" refers to marie. I propose simply "she" is replaced with "marie" to clear this up Lily the autistic (talk) 03:50, 12 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
The article's first sentence states that she was "better known as Marie Curie", which is in fact how she is known to most readers. Changing this here would likely be contentious, and it is certainly out of sync with how she is generally identified by most sources.

Add 'Skłodowska' to the middle of her name in the title. It's out of respect for her past and identity, and out of respect to Poland. YesbotIsHo (talk) 00:15, 30 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Change the title of the page being Marie Curie to Maria Skłodowska-Curie (or Sklodowska-Curie if you don’t want to use polish letters) because that woman was Polish and it was ger will to call her by her polish surname so it should be respected. She’s not Marie Curie. ~2026-45481-02 (talk) 12:11, 19 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
