Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/The 1000 Destubbing Challenge

Goals

• To bring about 1000 stub article improvements for association football-related articles, aiming for 1.5 kb of readable prose, 1.2kb at a bare minimum
• To see existing article improvements for association football-related articles from as many countries as possible worldwide
• To debloat and fully source/verify existing articles which may be poorly written or sourced and improve the general quality of association football-related articles

Stubs

List stubs categories to work through here.

Association football stubs

Stub-Class association football articles

Measuring tool

You can check your entries using this tool before submitting here. The article readable prose, excluding sources and lists should be a minimum 1200 bytes (1.2 KB) and ideally 1500 bytes (1.5 KB).

What would make it easier on this is if everybody programs their common.js in their preferences to contain:

importScript('User:Dr_pda/prosesize.js');                // User:Dr pda/prosesize

Instructions:

1. Go into your preferences, click on the "Appearances" tab
2. Where it says "Shared CSS/JavaScript for all skins:", click "custom javascript"
3. Paste the command given above into that and save.
4. Now approach an article and look in the tools section on the left. You should see "Page size". Click that for each article and you'll quickly get a reading without having to paste text all of the time and look externally.
5. Look out for where it says, for example: "Prose size (text only): 1510 B (xxx words) "readable prose size" ". That's what we're looking for on this, that has to read over 1200 B when finished.

Guidelines

• Articles related to every association football-related topic are welcome here. When listing try to add the relevant state and country it is applicable to. If it a biography, the county and country of birth.
• All articles submitted here must be a minimum of 1.2 kb (1200 bytes) of readable prose. This is the bare minimum to accommodate for the fact that a lot of smaller localities and landmarks are difficult to write fuller articles on but are very worthy of including and having a reasonable basic entry on in their own right. Always aim for at least 1.5 kb (1500 bytes) of readable prose for a "destub" unless you're genuinely struggling to find enough to reach it.
• All paragraphs must be fully sourced, with appropriate title, publisher, author, date information where relevant, no bare urls or poorly formatted sources which include publisher and title etc in one link etc. Be consistent in the sourcing and formatting and be careful of sourcing claims lower down in paragraphs and ensure that the sources verify all of the information given above.
• All content submitted must have been checked and verified. If there are claims which are not verifiable in an existing stub or article, delete those claims before submitting.
• All articles are expected to be free of copyright issues and plagiarism.
• All talk page tags are expected to be updated from being classed as stubs. Remember to remove the stub tag at the bottom of the articles.
• If you come across articles which are clearly no longer stubs and don't need much or any sourcing work or expansion, kindly remove the stub tag and update the tags on the talk page to reclassify it.
