Not sure where to report a certain type of problem with article content? If it exists, it is probably listed at Wikipedia:Maintenance. Purge | Collaborations | | To improve the quality of articles that are short or lacking in detail, Wikipedia's community organizes collaborations to expand articles. | Collaborations by topic | Other collaborations Active improvement teams WikiProjects WikiProjects are ongoing team efforts to improve articles having to do with a particular subject, and to manage the logistics of that topic. Hundreds exist—examine the master list to find one that interests you. Language translation Wikipedia is not just in English. Versions exist in many different languages. To fill in some of the English Wikipedia's gaps, we translate articles from other languages into English. You can view a list of articles that need translation from any language, or, in a few cases, by only one language (this is only available for the more popular languages).
