WP:WORCS/ToDo

WORCS/ToDo is a list of urgent tasks. If they have been addressed, please do not remove them from the list, but check them off with the {{done}} ( Done) template, and sign your name with four tildes: ~~~~

To do[edit]

Auto-flagged articles[edit]

(see further down for manually added individual items for urgent attention)
These articles have been flagged as needing some work:

Referencing[edit]

Providing references is one of the major problems on Wikipedia. It is assumed that all participants of the project understand WP:CITE, but many newcomers don't, so please encourage them on their talk pages. Apart from consistency throughout an article, there are no firm rules about which of the many manual and template methods of showing references are used. However, this may be of interest when citing the BBC, for example: Template:Cite news

When providing references that are likely to be used again across several Worcs related pages, please consider whether the use of templates requiring separate reflists for the template will enhance an editor's experience.
When providing references that are likely to be used in chunks of text that might be copied and pasted into two or more Worcs related pages, please consider whether the use of templates requiring separate reflists for the template will enhance an editor's experience.

Photos/images[edit]

Here is a list of 1088 pages from this category and subcats that have no image, as of now. --Magnus Manske (talk) 14:58, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

URGENT articles[edit]

This is not a complete list (!), these are just a selection identified by project participants as needing some urgent, but mainly fairly easy, fixing.
A complete list of all Worcestershire related pages can be found HERE (thanks to Jeni).

Vandalism and/or Copyvio[edit]

Some articles, particularly schools, and pages with notable residents, football teams, and music groups, suffer regular vandalism. If you have a spare 5 minutes, please pass by to check that they're okay, and revert anything nasty. If you find an article that needs looking out for, add it to the list, and keep it on your watchlist.

Copy editing[edit]

Broken links, typos, prose style, punctuation, page format. Copyediting is a task that follows a clean up, and usually includes proofreading.

Merging and Moving[edit]

Unless such an actioin is blatantly obviously needed and can be done under WP:BOLD, such interventions should usually be proposed and discussed on their talk pages.
