What is necessary to include in our article to make it complete?

In other words, how do I remove my article from the category of articles with incomplete location information? Is there a template?

Thanks!

There is. I've supplied the missing headings for this one; once they're all filled in, then we remove the incomplete tag.

http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=86975 has a several pages long discussion that eventually led to the template of headings ...

Hi Terry

The basic template for locations is here

If any of the headings are obviously not going to be required, they can be removed. Extra headings could be inserted if required.

I suggest using {{stub}} at the top until some meaningful text is inserted, then remove that and insert [[Category:Incomplete Locations]] and [[Category:Missing Location Images]] at the bottom until the article is completed.

The thread Niels has pointed you to will show you how we got there

Thanks for your input... new location articles are much appreciated.
