Wikify[edit]

(Taken from relevant talk pages:)

Hi Funandtrvl- What specific problems did you have with Iowa archaeology? There is a sloppy autogenerated citation (done by someone else) that I am trying to eradicate, but other than that, what do you feel is wrong with the article that it warrants a Wikify tag? Bill Whittaker (talk) 17:46, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bill! What I meant by needing to be wikified, is that there are a lot of possible wikilinks that could be added to the article, especially the links for anything to do with history, geology, arch., etc., that are relevant to the content. (For example, anything to do with historical periods or civilizations, like: "Archaic Period" should be wikilinked.) Also, instead of having inline ext. links for the universities, etc., those should be wikilinked and then add an ext. links section with the respective urls. to the bottom of the article. Relevant navboxes, i.e., for "Iowa topics" and/or "Arch. topics" would be great for the bottom of the article. Again, there are more suggestions at: WP:Featured article criteria. Hope this helps! --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:01, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, major overhaul complete, fixed all refs, added tons of wikilinks, added some new citiations, standardized the citation looks and lots of little changes. The page needs to be reevaluated for Class rating; now better than a "C", I believe. Bill Whittaker (talk) 13:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
