WP Former Countries - Things to do:
Open tasks for WikiProject Former countries Edit
- Correct links: Correct any wikilinks that you find anywhere on Wikipedia where the link is to the wrong version of the state. Some examples of bad links:
- Referring to the former Free City of Lübeck (an independent entity for 711 years), but the link goes to the modern city of Lübeck.
- Referring to Napoleon's France, where the link instead goes to modern France.
- Create redirects: If the article for the correct state does not yet exist, create a redirect to the nearest existing article (if possible) and place {{WPFC|class=Needed}} on the redirect's talk page. Whether or not a redirect has been created, list the wanted article below under "Needed".
Article improvement
After performing any of these tasks, re-rate the entry via the WPFC banner, and remove the article from the relevant list.
- Expand: Confederation of the Rhine, Straits Settlements, Belgian Congo, Free City of Lübeck, Kingdom of Ireland, North German Confederation, Spanish East Indies

[edit] Strange sequence of events
"In 1877, after the 1886 Witwatersrand_Gold_Rush, Britain annexed the Transvaal." This seems very unlogical, unless a time machine was involved. However I do not know what was meant or whether the Witwatersrand Gold Rush should be mentioned elsewhere, and I do not wish to delete it altogether, as it may be important. I am not sufficiently familiar with this episode of history, so I hope someone else can look at it. Tom 16:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
