Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/1911 verification/Sub-page instructions

This template contains the documentation that appears at the head of every sub-page in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/1911 verification project. Include it thus: {{../Sub-page instructions}}.

This is a list of Wikipedia articles that correspond to articles in the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition, and may have either inadequate or outdated information, or unacknowledged verbatim copying. It was generated in 2006 from the original 1911 topics list. At the time, in most cases, the Wikipedia article was simply annotated with the now-obsolete {{1911}} template. Current attribution standards require more precise attribution using inline footnotes. Please:

1. Verify that each of the articles has updated coverage and is at least as comprehensive as the 1911 Britannica.
2. When you compare the Wikipedia article with the Britannica article:
   1. If there is verbatim text, acknowledge that with {{EB1911}}, using long or short inline citations (see WP:CITE, and note WP:CITEVAR). You can use a copyvio detector to compare the two tests: Earwig's is a good choice.
   2. If there is unsourced text that isn't verbatim, but can be supported by reference to Britannica, use {{Cite EB1911}} in either of the two styles.
   3. Change any uses of {{1911}} to {{EB1911}} or {{Cite EB1911}}.
3. Add a |wstitle= or |title= parameter to any {{EB1911}} or {{Cite EB1911}} template. See this category page for why it's important.
4. Include |volume= and |page= (or |pages=) in the citation template. Page numbers will be visible in the margin if the Wikisource article is transcluded from Page space. Also, previous editors have often left the page number in a comment.

If the EB article is on more than one page (unless it's just a few lines that happen to cross a page boundary), you should use a general reference and inline {{sfn}} calls with a |p= or |pp= parameter.

If the article, or a section of it, is badly out of date or has WP:NPOV problems, you can use {{Update-EB}} to draw attention to that. If the article is essentially unchanged from the original (except additions like a lead paragraph and footnotes), please use {{EB1911 article with no significant updates}} in the footer (either with or without {{One source}}). See the documentation pages of these templates for more information.

When done, keep the article on the list, in case we need to make another pass, remove the {{search}} template, and add a tag such as "ok" or "no1911" after any hyphen (the trailing hyphen is used to indicate an unexamined article by some ancillary tools). Alternatively, the tag "redir" indicates that the entry is either a redirect to the target article or a disambiguation page that includes it in a list.

Some additional markings were added when the list was generated in 2006:

• Articles with no additional marking were from the original topics list (i.e. the 1911 EB had an article with that title)
• Articles with * had the {{1911}} template (information from the 1911 EB was used in that article)
• Articles with + were on both lists
• Articles with = are redirects created in the past; they have not been verified
