Welcome to PropUp!

PropUp.org was established as a place where Wikipedia articles could be propped up to Wikipedia standard at a location dedicated to encyclopedic work (and none of the nonsense that drives people away from Wikipedia), where aspiring encyclopedists may work in peace. Articles are copied over from Wikipedia, edited by members of the PropUp community, and when everything is finished, they're copied back to Wikipedia. This way, it is possible to improve Wikipedia without having to be on Wikipedia, which is desirable for those who have been chased away from Wikipedia for whatever reason.

Please, request an account, sign up for our Google Group, and begin making Wikipedia better!

By the way, the default skin, Grey Lady, looks horrendous in Internet Explorer. If you are stuck with Internet Explorer like I am during school, go to Special:Preferences and pick from the other skins. Messedrocker 08:57, 4 December 2007 (MST)

PropUp editorial templates you can use within articles:

  • {{grayout}} - for passages that need improvement. Be sure to leave an inline comment as to why the passage in question is grayed out. Syntax: {{grayout|the passage in question}}
  • {{appr}} - for paragraphs that have been copyedited, that cite their sources, and are worthy of being imported back to Wikipedia. Syntax: {{appr|~~~|the passage in question}}
  • {{ednote}} - for editorial notes within articles. Syntax: {{ednote|write note here}}
