Krystle gave permission, so yay! However, she said all the merging and deleting is the problem, and she told me to gather a list of articles, and she’ll see what we can do from there. Right now, we need to gather a list of articles on being popular, and if you have time, rate the article and what you think about it. I’m no pro at Google Docs, so my document won’t look as nice as the other projects.:slight_smile:Here are the links: Introduction and the spreadsheet

Well, I didn’t exactly “give permission”:slight_smile:I just said it might be a good idea to create a list first and then see who is interested in doing what…

:slight_smile:

I’m interested! Thanks to Darkfrost’s forum, we were able to formulate it.

Too bad I have no idea how to merge:confused:Other wise I would join…good luck anyhow!

You can still join. Right now, we just need a list of articles for Krystle to take a look at.

I’ll see what I can do!

I could collect some, if you like

You know while there are lots of same popular articles, there is also a lot of other same article. Examples: http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Cool-(Teen-Girls) can be merged with methods from http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Cool-at-School http://www.wikihow.com/Look-Pretty-Without-Makeup should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Look-Pretty-with-No-Makeup-As-a-Preteen and http://www.wikihow.com/Look-Good-Without-Makeup http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Yourself-Look-Pretty should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Pretty http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Awesome-(for-Boys) and http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Awesome-(for-Girls) should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Awesome http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Clean-Person should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Clean http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Your-Room-in-10-Minutes should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Your-Room-Fast http://www.wikihow.com/Thoroughly-Clean-a-Bedroom should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Deep-Clean-and-Organize-Your-Room http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-Your-Room-if-You-Are-Lazy-and-Don't-Want-To should be merged with http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Motivated-to-Clean-Your-Room-(for-Kids)

I’ll put those in as “extras.”

Done! I put them in the “Extras” tab.:slight_smile:

That would be great!

In terms of this example, and other similarly titled articles, these should not be merged because as per the Merge Policy, these articles target a specific audience or demographic; in this case, boys vs. girls.

Love this guys! Well done for the idea @Darkfrost :slight_smile:

There’s a merge policy?

@WikihowSaver Yes, there is a community Merge Policy…it outlines what types of articles and titles should be considered for a merge, and should be followed regarding any potential merges. http://www.wikihow.com/wikiHow:Merge-Policy

Reading the merge policy, it helped me understand what to merge. Thanks Jeff and Illneedasaviour! Never knew there was actually a policy to it.

We all learn something new about wikiHow each day, don’t we?

+150 That sure is right!

My idea actually lol. I can’t take much credit though, it was Darkfrost’s forum.:slight_smile:
