Wikipedia:WikiProject Earthquakes/Article requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Make a request by adding the article title to the bottom of the list:

Add your request in the most appropriate place below.

Before adding a request please:

  • Search for existing articles on the same subject. If an article exists, but not at the title you expected, you can create a redirect, or request creation.
  • Check spelling and capitalization.
  • Be sure the subject meets Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. *For scientific topics to be included in Wikipedia, they should be sourced to a textbook or academic publication; try searching Springer, Elsevier and Google Scholar.
  • You may request an article below, but please keep in mind that Requested Articles is more like a list of ideas for interested editors to peruse, rather than an article writing service where we methodically try to write every article. Most requested articles will not be written.
  • If you really want an article created, you can write it yourself. (If you are personally connected to the subject, you need to submit it through the Articles for Creation process.) However, please be aware that due to notability rules, many topics do not qualify for an article. Citing multiple quality sources, such as newspapers and books, is usually the key to proving notability.
  • Do not duplicate existing requests. Search for similar requests:

Also, when adding a request, please include as much information as possible (such as webpages, articles, or other reference material) so editors can find and distinguish your request from an already-created article. Roughly three references and a short description should be sufficient.
