Potential Articles
edit- Finance: I chose this article because I felt that the readability could be improved with general editing, and it needs revision with its citations.
- Zou people: I chose this article because it needs to be edited for readability, and is lengthy enough to where substantial improvements can be made.
- Nicholas Tolstoy: I chose this article because all of its information is listed underneath one section. I think this page would benefit from being edited so that information is more clearly organized and easier to read through.
- Forestry in Russia: I chose this article because it has a specific tag at the top of the page that states it requires copyediting. The page is not organized as well as it could be, and needs a consistent tone throughout.
- Weather warfare: I chose this article because it is tagged for being written like an essay; it needs heavy edits in tone in order for it to be presented as an encyclopedic article. It also needs light grammatical edits and needs to be organized better.
Reference Articles
editEdit History
edit- Nicholas Tolstoy: First editor and possibly creator of the article was user Greyhood. They made their last edit in December 2011. After that, minor edits were made by a bot and another user. The bot was a part of WikiProject Biography: a collaborative effort to revise biographical articles across the site. The bot I believe classified this article as an appropriate part of the project, while the last user to edit this article made very few changes. I don't see any glaring edits; this article seems as though its rough draft was posted and untouched for years.
- Finance: First created in 2003, this article has had a large amount of edits over the years, and has a number of recent and active editors. From 2019, a good portion of the edits made to this article have been from students completing similar projects. The majority of edits are focused on content, and there was a lot of content removal towards 2012. Since this topic is constantly generating new information, it is unsurprising to see that it has an active Talk page with editors debating the quality and relevancy of content.
