Wikipedia:Transwiki log/Archive1

From Free net encyclopedia

This is an archive of a log of all articles moved into or out of the English Wikipedia via the Transwiki scheme. Please see Wikipedia:Transwiki log for the current log.

This page is in need of attention to resolve old transwikied articles. It currently has a huge backlog. Please remove this notice once this has been done.

You can help by dealing with the articles listed here as already been transwikied. Follow the instructions below to help out.

This is a log of all articles moved into or out of the English Wikipedia via the Transwiki scheme. If a page listed for transfer was deleted, please record the reason why.

For information about transwiki-ing marked articles and listing them here, further details of the transwiki scheme can be found at m:Transwiki.

Instructions

There are three possible routes for an article after a transwiki. After you have checked any of the following articles and ensured one of these steps has been taken, be sure to mark it by striking through the listing with "<s> </s>" tags and note how it was resolved. There is no voting involved; simply strike out the entry for whatever (valid) reason, note that reason, and your judgement is enough. Additionally, please do not sign resolutions, only new log entries, as the page is long enough as it is, and the signatures are unneeded. For example:

Note: any red links (deleted articles) below should always be crossed out as they have been successfully dealt with.

[edit]

(1.) Send to VfD

Please only strike out an entry after a VfD listing has been resolved, so that the result can be logged here.

After moving an article and its edit history, the article may be submitted for deletion. Submit it to VfD if there is no possible redirect for the article (see route #2) and it has no potential for encyclopedic growth (#3). Follow the normal deletion procedure. You may want to leave the following boilerplate text in place of the original article: The contents of this page and the page's history have been moved to interwiki:Transwiki:Article Name via the transwiki system, all future edits should go there. ~~~~

In the case of Wiktionary, there is a handy template that you can use that combines the {{vfd}} tag with the above boilerplate. Replace the original article with the {{moved to Wiktionary}} tag and then follow the remainder of the instructions for nominating an article for deletion.

[edit]

(2.) Create a redirect

See Wikipedia:Redirect, Wikipedia:Merge, Wikipedia:Duplicate articles

If the information in the article would be more appropriate as part of another article, you can Merge and Redirect. If the information in the article already exists in another article, or if the title of the article could reasonably be considered a useable term by which a user would search for information, you can simply create a Redirect. If the topic is overly specific, and therefore has very little potential for growth, it is preferable to redirect the transwikied article to a more general article.

[edit]

(3.) Expand the article

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page

Of course if the article has an obvious potential for encyclopedic growth, and has a conventional name, then you can help by expanding it!
