Finding stubs and making them grow

A stub is an article that provides at least a basic definition but does not go much beyond it. It may not be the perfect article yet, but each stub should have the potential to become one. See Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub for ways to locate stubs. For example, click what links here on that same page, or on Template:Stub (the stub notice).

Still not enough stubs? Then try Wikipedia:Requests for page expansion, or set the threshold for stub display in your user Preferences. That option sets a number of characters threshold value. Links to articles with fewer characters are shown in dark red. This makes it very easy to spot stubs. If the stub notice is a generic notice consider sorting the stub into a stub category.

Variations of English

[edit]

Please read WP:ENGVAR. I see you changed an article about an American law to British English, but someone else has reverted you so that's ok now. Note that "ize" is used in American and British English. Doug Weller talk 16:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most articles use either American or British English. It depends on a couple of things, mainly the content. If it's on a clearly American subject, it will be American English. Most articles to do with British Commonwealth subjects will use British English, some will use Indian English. Sometimes it depends on the original creator's use. Some articles will have a message on their talk page or a "hidden message" that you see when you edit. One point I will make is many editors don't realise that the spelling "ize" can is both British and American. Doug Weller talk 18:10, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
