    WikiProject Unreferenced articles | February 2024 Backlog Drive

    There is a substantial backlog of unsourced articles on Wikipedia, especially for United States-related articles! The purpose of this drive is to add sources to these articles and make a meaningful impact towards improving Wikipedia as a whole.

    • Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles cited.
    • Remember to tag your edit summary with [[WP:FEB24]], both to advertise the event and tally the points later using Edit Summary Search.
    • Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
    Also, according to WP:Petscan, 61470/113000 unsourced articles belongs to Category:United States and has {{Unreferenced}}. We need a lot of help sourcing these geostubs! CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 07:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @CactiStaccingCrane: Please be sure to inform WP US's many subprojects too. This sounds like a very needed effort. Stefen Towers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 09:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you! The article scope is still waiting to be determined, but if more members join in the drive, we would be able to cover more articles in a month. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 09:24, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It looks like WP US is already in your scope. I'm just saying that people in the WP US subprojects (including many states and cities) won't necessarily see this notice here. Stefen Towers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 10:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, I understand what you meant by that now. I don't want to spam all of the subprojects though, so I just gonna post this notice to subprojects with some editor activity. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 10:09, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds fair. I wouldn't think of this as spam, though. You're welcome at the Louisville and Kentucky projects, as far as I'm concerned. Stefen Towers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 10:17, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Richland City, Indiana[edit]

    I believe the name of Richland City, Indiana is incorrect. It should just be Richland, Indiana. Maybe the CDP was named Richland City, and it changed its name when it incorporated. Can someone confirm this? Kk.urban (talk) 19:46, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Race/ethnicity maps being added to more than a hundred articles[edit]

    I'd like some opinions please about the efforts of an editor here to add race and ethnicity maps to a very large number of articles. Example edit: [1]. See CensusDots' contributions for more examples. I've blocked the editor User:CensusDots who has been adding these, but not because they are adding them. I blocked them because the account appears to represent the organization that has put these maps together, which violates our username policy. Should we really be adding such maps? Opinions please. --Hammersoft (talk) 04:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Here we go again. The same old nonsense, perpetuating old perceptions of 'race' as biological fact rather than the social construct it clearly is. With the added bonus of turning 'Hispanic' into a race. It isn't. It isn't even an ethnicity. It is a linguistic category. The maps are absurd anyway, since the source (censusdots.com) claims that 'Each dot represents one person', which is clearly impossible on any map compiled from census data, or indeed in any map of a scale capable of being displayed on Wikipedia. The website also claims that their map is copyright. And just to add further uselessness, the way colours are blended together means that nobody will be able to make sense of the maps anyway. Delete the lot. AndyTheGrump (talk) 10:19, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
