Note that certain phrases, and "list of X" titles, do not need to be bolded. See <a href="/wiki/CZ:Article_mechanics" title="CZ:Article mechanics">Article mechanics</a>.</li> <li><b>Remove all unused (red) templates, category tags, images, and interwiki links.</b> It might be a good idea to copy the templates and images to the talk page for people to reinsert later. Please <i>don't</i> remove links to nonexistent <i>articles</i> (unless you feel moved to work on the article: removing such links isn't part of the "assignment").</li> <li><b>Add appropriate workgroup category tag(s).</b> <i>Please use only the workgroup categories listed under <a href="/wiki/CZ:Workgroups" title="CZ:Workgroups">CZ:Workgroups</a>.</i> (Note, this page is linked on the left sidebar as "Workgroups".) If you think there needs to be a new workgroup <i>created</i> in addition to one that you've placed an article into, then when you fill out the checklist, simply specify: <code>cat_check = yes</code> to request that someone check over the categories. Also, add "Category:Needs Workgroup" (capitalization important) <i>if, and only if</i> there are <i>no</i> suitable workgroups for an article.</li> <li><b>Add <a href="/wiki/Category:Topic_Informant_Workgroup" title="Category:Topic Informant Workgroup">Category:Topic Informant Workgroup</a> if necessary,</b> i.e., if an article is a biography of a living person, profile of a company, group, etc.--essentially, any article that concerns an existing nonpolitical entity with legal interests.</li> <li><b>Add (or remove) the CZ Live tag as appropriate.</b> An externally-sourced (e.g., Wikipedia) article is "CZ Live" if there have been at least three significant changes in three different places to the wording of an article. Hints: <ul><li>To determine whether an article should be marked "Live" you might have to click on the page history, and compare the most recent edit with the very first edit. Use the "diff" between those two versions to determine whether the article has been changed enough.</li> <li>The following <i>are not</i> significant changes: removing unused templates, etc.; spelling and minor rewording; deletions; and shuffling text without changing it.</li> <li>Any new article, even if a stub, is automatically "CZ Live".</li> <li>You might wonder if <a href="/wiki/Category:CZ_Live" title="Category:CZ Live">Category:CZ Live</a> is necessary, since we will be constructing <a href="/wiki/Category:Internal_Articles" title="Category:Internal Articles">Category:Internal Articles</a>. Perhaps--but we should not remove <a href="/wiki/Category:CZ_Live" title="Category:CZ Live">Category:CZ Live</a> or even stop from maintaining it well, until <i>after</i> we have created <a href="/wiki/Category:Internal_Articles" title="Category:Internal Articles">Category:Internal Articles</a> as its replacement--which means, not until we have added <a class="mw-selflink selflink">The Article Checklist</a> to all of our articles.</li> <li>Articles that are "CZ Live" are internal (checklist 'status' = 0-3); articles that are not "CZ Live" are external (checklist 'status' = 4).</li></ul></li> <li><b>Check the "Content is from Wikipedia?" box if any part of the article is sourced from Wikipedia.</b> To determine this, you might again have to look at the article history and look at the very first version of the article. If that has a lot of red templates and categories, it came from Wikipedia. <i>NOTE:</i> if, for whatever reason, this is the <i>only</i> edit that you want to make to an article, you have to make some small edit in the article text box as well (e.g., add a space at the end of a line--it won't show up). Otherwise your checkbox change won't be saved. Do look at the bottom of the page that there's a link to Wikipedia.</li> <li><b>Hint: use page history!</b> You should probably make a trip to the page history for most if not all articles. If you want to determine whether an article is sourced from Wikipedia, then just look at the first version in the edit history. Virtually all Wikipedia articles left in the database have templates and images (that we have not uploaded, and thus are distinctive red links). That should be enough for us to tell whether to check the "Content is from Wikipedia?" box. If you want to determine <i>how much</i> an article has been changed from its Wikipedia original, go to the page history and press the radio buttons next to the oldest and the newest edits, and hit "compare". You'll be able to see the differences there. We have mostly been assuming that the original-uploaded version is identical to a Wikipedia original. <b>Note:</b> if an article is an "external" article and it has not been changed enough to be considered "CZ Live," consider whether <a href="/wiki/CZ:Article_Deletion_Policy" title="CZ:Article Deletion Policy">according to our deletion rules</a> you should put the {{speedydelete}} template on the page (put this template on the article's talk page, please). Please do mark it for "speedy deletion," if appropriate.</li></ul></li></ol> <h3><span id="The_.27by.27_field_.E2.80.93_Checklist_last_edited_by.3F"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="The_'by'_field_–_Checklist_last_edited_by?">The 'by' field – Checklist last edited by?</span></h3> <p>This field is obsolete; please leave it blank. </p> <h3><span id=".27cat1.27_to_.27cat3.27_fields_.E2.80.93_Workgroup_category_or_categories"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="'cat1'_to_'cat3'_fields_–_Workgroup_category_or_categories">'cat1' to 'cat3' fields – Workgroup category or categories</span></h3> <p><i>Only</i> workgroups found at <a href="/wiki/CZ:Workgroups" title="CZ:Workgroups">CZ:Workgroups</a> should be included here.
