Have you read the article? Wow I am so proud that we are chipping off the huge iceberg! https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/03/07/the-keilana-effect/. --Omotecho (talk) 12:02, 23 March 2017 (UTC) Omotecho (talk) 12:02, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

General removal and addition notice

I stumbled across this wikiproject and noticed that a lot of the "redlinked" articles had been made into articles, so I removed them off of the list. I also created stubs for the "redlinked" articles that had enough information to make a substantial enough stub with just the article listed with the link, and removed them thereafter. Would be interested in created more articles/cleanup if needed, since this seems to be a pretty important and ignored topic. Scotth1001 (talk) 18:00, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

@Scotth1001:Much appreciated. A bit of friendly advice - take care when creating stubs with only one or two sources. Just a few years ago that used to be common practice here. However, these days there are many other editors who will very quickly tag such articles for deletion based on lack of notability. That then sets a timer ticking under which other editors have to scramble to improve the article (add material and sourcing) before the delete clock runs out and the article is deleted. Once an article on a given topic has been deleted, it then can be a bit more difficult to make a replacement article stick too. In case this happens, do pay close attention to your notifications in the days ahead, to any of the articles you have created. --Krelnik (talk) 18:17, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

@Krelnik:Thanks for the advice. I was partially aware of this rule (Or, really, of the general idea of reliable sourcing and credibility etc.) But due to the fact this project was, in essence, the "Translation" (For lack of a better word) of the encyclopaedic article(s) mentioned with the redlink into an article suitable on Wikipedia, I thought the rule did not apply as strongly. I will attempt to find a few extra sources for the stubs I have created. Scotth1001 (talk) 19:32, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
