SourceWatch:Miscellaneous tasks

<Portal:Community Portal/Help out

Assisting with this list of miscellaneous tasks would aid SourceWatch.

This page contains a list of things you can do to help improve SourceWatch and its projects. There are several different kinds of things to do:

Articles that need updating Articles that need fixing Requested articles Stub articles to be expanded Miscellaneous tasks Main "things you can do" page

This page contains a list of miscellaneous tasks that do not fit well into the other "things you can do" categories. Please help out by fixing one of these tasks and removing it from the list when you're done. If you know of something that needs to be done, feel free to add it here.

Tasks for meta-pages (like help and policy pages)

• I just spent some time fixing the SourceWatch:Find or fix a stub page only to find that there's already a good page at SourceWatch:Stub. They need to be merged, and I think the SourceWatch:Stub has a better name and there's no need for two separate articles. Note that once this is done the links in Template:Stub need to be changed from SourceWatch:Find or fix a stub to SourceWatch:Stub.--Conor Kenny 01:28, 12 July 2007 (EDT)
• There is a new page explaining how the user contributions function works. It is based on Wikipedia:User contributions, which has a handy labeled screenshot pointing out the different parts of the user contributions page. It would be useful to do a similar screenshot off the SourceWatch website.--Conor Kenny 15:23, 26 July 2007 (EDT)
