Welcome to WikiProject Requested articles, a WikiProject for Wikipedia:Requested articles. If you have any questions, please contact the current co-coordinator, Matty.007 (talk · contribs).
Introduction[edit]
WikiProject Requested articles was started in January 2013 after a Requests for Comment, which sought to determine a course of action for the tens of thousands of redlinked suggestions at requested articles, many of which go back a number of years. While some editors felt that the whole process was unsalvegable, others expressed interest in a dedicated project to target the backlog. Requested articles is one of Wikipedia's oldest processes (dating back to 2001) and offers individuals the ability to suggest articles which should be created but that they do not wish to write themselves. Suggestions cover a huge diversity of topics and are split into a series of lists on multiple pages.
The project is currently in the initial planning stages, but which will ultimately conclude in a revision to the Requested Articles process, including provision of sources.
Goals[edit]
- Encourage more Wikipedians to help with Requested articles
- Improve the Requested articles system
- Support Drives to create articles in the requested articles page, which will clear the requested articles backlog
- Support Red Link Blitzes, attempts to clear requested articles of articles which have been created
- Complete the project tasks
What you can do[edit]
WikiProject Requested articles has something for everyone! You don't have to be a fantastic writer or content contributor to help create requested articles but you do need to know Wikipedia's core policies, particularly WP:Notability, WP:Verifiability.
- If you have never created an article before please read WP:Your first article and Wikipedia:Writing better articles
- Before you create an article from the list make sure that the subject meets notability guidelines (many of the items requested at WP:RA may not be suitable, and all need to be carefully checked)
- All articles must be created after identifying reliable sources
- If you are an unregistered user submit your article through the Articles for Creation process
- Tag the talk page with
