Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized Labour/open tasks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


These are the open tasks for the WikiProject Organized Labour. Articles are listed by the type of assistance requested.

There are three stages: non-existent, stubby, and identifiably flawed. "Requested articles" are pages that are entirely missing from Wikipedia. A little bit of research on the web is normally enough to write a stub. Be sure to move the list entry to the relevant section once you are done. Articles that are stubby, or otherwise lacking in content, may be found under "Requests for expansion". If something in particular is missing, such as a Union organisation article with a list of related companies but little historical background, be sure to say so when you enter it. "Requests for review" is for articles that are of decent length but need more attention. A need for a copyedit or for a fact check by a knowledgeable reader are appropriate reasons to ask for review.

Once an article has passed through the various stages of this process it may be placed under the Satisfactory section. Satisfactory articles are well-rounded, long enough to cover the topic in reasonable detail, and lack any major flaws. They are not expected to be perfect.

This open tasks list is intended to be a complement to the various Wikipedia features such as Cleanup, Requests for expansion, Pages needing attention and peer review, and you are encouraged to add articles from this list to those pages. Many articles on this page may also be good candidates for Collaboration of the week or the Article improvement drive.



Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
