Hi, I'm from WikiProject Wikify. It is our job to go through all of the articles tagged with {{wikify}} and wikify them. Ive noticed you tagged {{{1}}} with a wikify tag, unfortunately this article is already wikified or another tag is more appropriate. The reason you tagged it wrongly is probably due to the fact that it is not clear what the wikification process involves. Hopefully the following will give you some pointers for the future:
[edit] What Wikifying does
Wikifting an article involves 4 main things:
- The article is checked for pre-existence (eg if an aritcle already exists) and tagged for merging if so.
- The article is checked for copyright violations and tagged with {{copyvio}} if if one is found.
- The article has some basic formatting applied. For example adding section headings and making the article title appear as bold in the lead.
- Finally the article is wikilinked with all relevant words linked to their wiki articles.
[edit] What articles need wikification?
Alot of new articles need wikifying - but that is not exclusive. The best way to judge what articles need our attention is to look for the following pointers.
- Is the article divided into sections with appropriate links and section headers?
- Does the article have a recognised lead paragraph and is the title there in bold?
If you can answer no to these then it probably needs wikifying.
If the article is obviously a copyright violation (see Wikipedia:Copyright for details or use copyscape to check the article) then tag it with {{copyvio}} - there is no need to tag it for wikification.
[edit] What wikification does not do
We do not:
- Rewrite articles with bad grammar, punctuation or bad english - that is a job for cleanup or copyediting; use {{cleanup}} instead
- Categorise articles - use {{uncat}} instead
- Find sources for articles with none - use {{unsourced}} instead.
I hope these pointers are helpful and thank you for taking the time to tag articles for us. If you want to find out more about wikifying please visit our project page or the talk page. You may even want to join the project. Wikification can be great fun, teaches you loads of different things and gives you loads to edit - we are currently dealing with a 6500+ backlog of tagged articles so your help would be appreciated!
