Articles needing to be written

Although there are already thousands of articles, there are many tens of thousands more still to write. These range from the short to multi-part articles. You could start on something that interests you, something you like or need to study about or something thats in your area of sub specialty. Many may have unwritten links (in grey) to it from elsewhere in the site.

There are several categories of articles

short articles : small articles which may be a good starting point to get going
medium articles : standard sort of articles and may take a little longer
longer articles : longer and more comprehensive topics

Tagged articles

Below are articles that have been tagged as needing a little help from kind folk just like you.

When you have completed one of the tasks, please remove the tag identifying it. (e.g. remove "stub", or "references needed" etc...)

Of course if in your travels you see an article that needs some work, please add the relevant tag.

Stubs

tag = stub

Stubs are little baby articles that need a little nurturing to flower into full adult articlehood.

See list of stubs needing refinement and completion

References needed

tag = refs

These puppies are lacking the all important references. Please refer to the style guide for guidelines about references.

See a list of articles needing references

Duplicates

tag = duplicate

Sometimes we are just overzealous and create not just one article but two for the same topic. These should be merged into one gloriously polished article when possible.

To make sure all the links to each article is preserved please do the following:

chose the more complete article and edit that one
add the title of the smaller article to the new article's synonym list
add the tag "delete me" to the old article
remove the content of the old article and replace it with "this article has been merged with [title of new article].

We will periodically delete any articles with the tag "delete me" at which point articles will directly link to the new one...

See list of articles which are duplicates

Rewrites

tag = rewrite

These articles are just not-quite-right and need to have serious work done on them to bring them in line with our style guide.

See a list of articles that need to be rewritten

Cases

tag = cases

These articles are written and have reasonable content. However, they don't have enough cases to illustrate them. Often, we have cases sitting in our archive that are perfect - all you have to do is find them and add them!

See a list of articles that need to have cases added.
