This WikiProject is believed to be semi-active. Although activity is slower than it once was, anyone is welcome to participate in the project. Remove the
|Semi-active parameter from this template if activity resumes or if this tag was changed in error. If almost no activity occurs in this WikiProject, consider replacing this tag with {{WikiProject status|Inactive}} . |
The goal of this project is to reduce the number of common mistakes in the article space of Wikipedia.
The idea is that we check if the entries still contain those errors, and fix the articles if necessary.
Intro
So as not to duplicate work, here is a list of occurrences checked so far. When you have fixed all the instances of an error found in Wikipedia, please sign and date. In general, please repeat the search that has not been performed for the longest time.
- Partial work is ok, just note your username and the date worked on. Any entries not marked Done still need work!
- The link under "Latest Database Dump" contains a listing of occurrences generated from a database dump. The date is what dump was used to generate the list. The list can be checked manually or loaded into AWB.
- The "How Long Ago" column was calculated December 12. Click to recalculate it now.
- To encourage curious editors to come to this page to help, add something similar to the following to your edit summary
Fixing grammar mistake, found at: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fix common mistakes]]
Instructions
Any help is appreciated. Contributing is easy:
- Pick one of the errors from the table below.
- Work through the pages in the Latest Database Dump List, fixing any errors you find.
- Edit the list and remove any articles you have fixed.
- Update the date you checked in the other columns as (MM), (DD), (YYYY).
- If you finished the whole list, mark it Done
- (Optional) - Return to step 1 and try another list!
If you have an idea about another pattern to search for, please add it to the relevant section of the discussion page of this project.
