SourceWatch:Miscellaneous tasks

<Portal:Community Portal/Help out

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)
 * The Template:Main Congresspedia article needs to be phased out. This was originally created by the Congresspedia staff, but as part of CMD's general drive to unify SourceWatch and Congresspedia we are going to use Template:Main in all articles. Though the design on Template:Main might change, the call will always work.--Conor Kenny 15:15, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

Articles on members of Congress or committees

 * Charlie Rangel doesn't have the standard "Money in politics" section - this needs to be fixed.--Conor Kenny 04:35, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Articles on how Congress works
For articles in the How Congress works category.


 * The articles on rules in Category:U.S. House of Representatives - Rules and Category:U.S. Senate - Rules should have the " " tag removed from them. The two categories for the House and Senate rules are already sub-categories of Category:How Congress works and the articles are cluttering up that main category page.
