This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors. Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared. |
This encyclopedia is written in English. Sometimes an article is published here in another language by mistake, or is poorly translated into English from one of the approximately 300 Wikipedias in other languages, and requires retranslation or attention from bilingual editors to bring it up to English Wikipedia standards.
Articles in poorly translated English should be listed here. Several templates are available to tag articles needing translation, such as {{Rough translation}} and {{Proofreader needed}}. Besides tagging the page, these templates also display instructions on how to list the article here.
Articles not in English may be listed here to see if they can be translated before they are listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Template {{Not English}} is available to tag the article. If someone speaks the language the article is written in and can affirm that it is not worth translating, the item should be listed at AfD or tagged with {{prod}}. If a non-English article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be removed from Wikipedia following one of the processes laid out in our deletion policy.
Please keep in mind that drafts are out of scope for this page.
