Many editors and WikiProjects are consistently looking after the good quality and suitable content of the many articles existing in Wikipedia, making a wonderful work. However, once an article has been edited to its best, time, new facts and discoveries may turn the content inaccurate and in some few cases totally obsolete. New articles may as well show lack of information regarding important updates or be plainly based in outdated knowledge.

A good encyclopedic article should be updated and relying on the latest information available, this is what WikiProject Update Watch editors are trying to help with.

What we do

We encourage all editors to:

Identify articles with outdated information or missing newly available information
- Alert the authors or recent editors and help them to identify the information that must be updated, providing reliable sources if possible
