[edit] The Wikification Backlog

Nominated on 05:43, 24 July 2005 (UTC); needs 5 votes by July 30.

Every so often, people suggest that we should have a concerted fix-up effort of one type or another, but nothing much seems to come of these suggestions. I've heard that other-language Wikipedias do this sort of thing occasionally. Well, the list of articles to be wikified has gotten very long, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikification has gone inactive. It seems like the perfect subject for a time-limited collaboration - wikification is something that anyone can do, whether or not they know anything about the subject of the article.

So, I'm nominating this for Collaboration of the Week. If people think we should have a separate Wikification Week event on Wikipedia:Community portal, that'd be fine by me, too, if people would be interested in participating. -- Beland 05:50, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
