Wikipedia:Requests for expansion

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Zambaccian (talk | contribs) at 08:06, 30 December 2005 (December). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Almost every article in Wikipedia could do with some expansion. This page is for listing those stubs, substubs and other articles that have decent information, but that you find embarrassingly short or insufficient for an encyclopedia of the stature to which Wikipedia aspires.

Also see Category:Articles to be expanded.

Alternative pages:

Please list entries chronologically (newest at top) and add {{expansion}} to the talk page. You can also add an HTML comment, such as <!-- This part of the article needs to be expanded --> for any specific part that needs to be expanded. An alternative to the HTML comments is to add the {{todo}} template to the article's talk page, and to then fill out the /todo subpage explaining what needs to be added. Once an entry has been expanded, please make sure to remove it from this page and to also remove the {{expansion}} template from the talk page.

Done. But the section about dialects still needs expansion.--Army1987 09:58, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Attended to quite well by Ericg. Fernando Rizo T/C 00:33, 8 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

July

Reorganised the structure to being less US-centric. Hopefully contents more NPOV as well, table still needs attention, maybe to be moved to a "List of" subpage? -- Klaus with K 11:22, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Which SOHO? astiquetalk 8 July 2005 03:04 (UTC)
My bad... This one. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 8 July 2005 07:34 (UTC)
  • North Sea Flood of 1953, the largest natural disaster in the netherlands gets very little attention, I may do it myself in due course, but will be on holiday soon. Maybe someone else feels up for some expanding? --Isolani 7 July 2005 21:15 (UTC)
  • The Peacocks - a retail centre - but where?Saga City July 8, 2005 09:40 (UTC)
  • Kubilai Khan - I posted a note on its talk page a couple months ago. It was never noticed. Please, would someone with knowledge in this area go and actually write something that can be remotely called an "article". Colipon+(T) 9 July 2005 01:50 (UTC)

  • Steering Could use any expansion from anyone who knows anything about steering components. Jaberwocky6669 July 1, 2005 03:43 (UTC)
  • Military: Linked to many, many times, and it's a rather important concept, but the article is somewhat anemic. If someone could simply cut-n-paste in material from other pages (military science, military service, etc.) and organize it, at least that would be something. (Many military-related concepts, such as theater (military) and military geography are mostly substubs though.) I've done a little of that, but I'm really not too interested in the topic, being a Quaker. Some military enthusiast want to help? – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) June 30, 2005 18:48 (UTC)
Should theater (military) be merged into military geography? Jaberwocky6669 June 30, 2005 19:35 (UTC)
  • Mein System: I've just about exhausted my knowledge of this book here. Could someone with more chess knowledge then me please expand the article as per its todo list? — Bcat (talk | email) 30 June 2005 02:08 (UTC)
  • Sittard - I'm sure a lot more could be said about Sittard. Aecis 29 June 2005 12:25 (UTC)
  • Renovation - Currently just a dictdef. There has to be more to say about renovation! --[[User:JonMoore|—JonMoore 20:24, 29 May 2006 (UTC)]] 28 June 2005 18:29 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Innocence Mission Excellent band but needs more info than what I can add to it. My fav band but I dunno crap about them... Jaberwocky6669 June 28, 2005 03:55 (UTC)
  • George Sakier -- apparently one of the Art Deco biggies, but more research needs to be done. --Ctrl buildtalk File:Columbia SEAS.GIF 22:01, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Culture of Armenia - surely there's much more to be said, and it doesn't need to be a copyvio (the admins will notice nine removed revisions). --Joy [shallot] 12:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • 9_Queens_(film) needs to be expanded to include the 2004-2005 movie "Criminal" - which doesn't have a wikipage. From what I am briefly reading at the IMDB website is that the only thing different is the ___location of the storyline. So whoever expands the 9 queens film probably should make a disambiguation page over at Criminal since it is also a movie title. Thanks! --x1987x 01:24, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Doll - painfully short/stub with little to no history or analysis of an important artifact. Bruxism 22:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • John Denver - It looks terrible, and has little information on Denver. Carolaman 21:39, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Flowing Combat - reads like an advert for a martial arts school, needs to be expanded to provide information about the system, and put into a more npov --195.92.70.130 09:21, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Prawn - discusses the animal in detail, but no mention of commercial/culinary use -FZ 22:28, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Picketing - no history at all basically just a few paragraphs to describe the activity. Dalf | Talk 21:09, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Vampire: The Dark Ages - A role-playing game that lacks the attention of his older brother (Vampire: The Masquerade). Needs a comparison of both and much filling in details of the setting. --Pablo D. Flores 13:44, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Applied anthropology - A subfield, but needs considerable elaboration Bruxism 00:43, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Proverb - Needs a folklorist or paremiologist to write a more sophisticated definition and analysis.Bruxism 23:57, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Roy Lichtenstein - This article is a good start but needs much expansion. Gamaliel 16:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Mercurochrome - This article needs to describe antiseptic properties, actual mercury content, chance of mercury poisioning, bias, chemical creation, popularity (US and external). --x1987x 20:35, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Gerrymandering - Article needs some more examples from non US places, as well as more scientific analysis. Scott Ritchie 09:31, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Alfonso Sastre - This article about the Spanish playwright has a very good spanish wikipedia entry, but i just had to start the english one. so far i've done some translating, but I've also been adding new material from a biography and critical analysis from a copy of one of his plays. Someone already put a link to a babelfish translation so you don't even have to speak spanish to help. Finally, I would like to see more analysis of the themes in his plays; the biography is already pretty well developed. --Comrade009 23:57, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Fractal antenna - This is a very new and very strange antenna design that is particularly applicable to broadband transmission such as IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi). Since the Wireless community network boom is still going strong, I'm sure there are lots of other hobbyists like me salivating over this. What we really want to know is how do we make our own?--Yannick 23:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Century Institute - An interesting, short-lived experiment in training progressives (think "bizarro Hertiage Foundation") that seems to be on temproary hiatus. Faculty included William Julius Wilson, Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Theodore C. Sorensen. Anyone who knows more about the program, it context or its faculty should please add more.
  • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy - When i found this article it was pretty much "much like psychoanalysis but shorter and they don't sit on a couch". Added some, but needs more. Lots more. JoeSmack (talk) 16:11, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Influences on the Spanish language - New article, covers formative influences and Native American borrowings, but not modern borrowings from European languages. See talk page. --Pablo D. Flores
  • Living Sacrifice - This is probably the most respected Christian Metal abdn form the 90's, adn it is still extremely respected. It should hvae pictures, discogrpahy, info on its Greatest Hits and Tribute Album.
  • Eureka College - While not a large school, it is still important historically as the first college in Illinois and the third in the nation to admit men and women on an equal basis. Eureka has also just celebrated its 150th birthday. If anyone can add to the page, it would be appreciated, as I don't have the time to do the entire article...nor do I want to do the entire article, as it would then be biased my way.
  • Children of the Drone - newcomers have no idea actually what Children of the Drone is - need more clear explanation on the matter. CrossTimer 07:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Smart(fx) - I can't find any information on it. Needs to be drastically expanded.
  • In the Simple English section the stub article could be improved - (and various articles in the main English encyclopedia could be "translated").
  • Dr Syn could do with a bit of expansion (eg mentioning the highwayman who appears in several volumes) - and the first written book in the series is actually the last in the series.
  • Education in Argentina - major topic, not covered at all in the main Argentina article. I've done all I could already... --Pablo D. Flores
  • Munich air disaster - very newsworthy event but there's not nearly enough content about what happened. I'll do some editing on it myself but there are other articles that I want to work on at the moment so it'd be good if someone could help out. -- CTOAGN 11:51, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Haakonian Order - small enough to be entirely useless right now, but I don't know anything about it. --24.92.134.136 10:39, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Molotschnaya River - a real river in Ukraine, though not a real town. Don't know enough about it to expand further than <blah> is a river in Ukraine... -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 02:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Seattle General Strike of 1919 - impetus for red scare, important event in US labor history 67.170.139.129 00:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Working on it. --Tothebarricades 00:44, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Celestial Mechanics - The Examples of Problems should have more detail, I think. --User:Ben Standeven 21:28, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Convention People's Party - The article of the most important political party in Ghanaian history includes only the latest election results. --Sesel 03:08, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Katie Brownell - 11 year old Little Leaguer known for her amazing strike-out feat. The story may be a short one, but it's not yet over. I don't know how to follow all the details (searching for her yields mostly older news stories, not newer ones), but I think she's worth expanding on, even if her fame is only fleeting. --CGally81 00:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth - more on history, current status, famous inmates, etc would make this a much better article. Right now, it's too long to be a stub, but not complete yet.
  • Weatherzone - Article right now reads like a dicdef or an advertising blurb. While it may be important to Australians, not being one I don't see how it is; if it is significant, it needs to be exanded so it doesn't end up on VFD listing.--Mitsukai 15:45, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm a weatherzone user, and I don't think the weatherzone website itself is significant enough to warrant an article. It's just a glorified version of the Bureau of Meteorology website. I do think there would be a case for creating an article on [www.theweather.com.au The Weather Company], which manages weatherzone, and also is the main distributor of weather information to TV stations. I'll see what I can do about it, though I really should be studying for exams now :) -- Graham 03:30, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • List of holiday colors - Article only covers the U.S., and does not list colors of every holiday. Note that I have relisted this article as it barely got any attention last month. Andros 1337 04:18, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I hope I've helped somewhat. I don't know that many non-US holidays(I looked through Category:Holidays somewhat.) Maybe listing this with some of the non-US noticeboards might be helpful. JesseW 02:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Mass marketing, being one of the most important parts of our modern society, deserves some serious expansion. This should be a community collaboration at some point. Ryan Prior 02:55, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • God (male deity) - Self-nomination (or what do you call it) but it could use some expansion... Djadek 10:49, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

May

Very funny. Ryan Prior 02:55, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
Are there any other self-contradictory terms?
What are you, an oxymoron? ;-) — RJH
Yeah, yeah. But seriously, that article is really lame right now. Michael Z. 2005-06-8 23:14 Z
I think it needs a broken link to WMD to make it authentic

--Tothebarricades.tk 06:29, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Demel - This article looks like it could use more background and definitely some context and pictures. Ryan Prior 15:25, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

April

  • Category:Internet Explorer - User:Icairns added the popcat tag but didn't list it here. So I add it for him. P.S. I don't think this category is useful through. :-P minghong 09:02, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Harry Potter RPGs - I cleaned it up and wikified it as requested, then removed those templates, but still don't think it is a complete article. See its talk page for more information. Ben Babcock 01:57, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Prediction - Basic outline for a few things. Still needs a huge expansion, or at least suitable links to relevant articles. See the talk page for a (messy) list of related topics (moved out of the article). --Pablo D. Flores 15:41, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Airbus A380 - this aircraft will fly for the first time today. It will receive a lot of publicity and Airbus will release a lot of information. Let's take advantage of this and improve the article. mat334 | talk 06:51, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • LinuxQuestions.org - highly-respected Linux-help website. Up for Vfd but the unanimous vote is to keep and expand. Needs to be written so it doesn't sound so much like an ad. Master Thief Garrett 05:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • AIDS in Africa - Far too short for such an important topic. Sixty percent of all HIV/AIDS sufferers live in Africa. The scope for discussing the social and economic effects in this article is massive. TreveX 16:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Audi R8 Race Car (1999-2005) is a notable racing car with many victoris in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Could use with a little more history and technical specifications. --Pc13 15:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Dino Buzzati, Antonio Tabucchi, Cesare Pavese, Ernésto Sábato almost nothing about their works Curero 18:47, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama With the great articles we have about the Popes now this article about one of the worlds most famous people is embarrasingly short. Preisler 02:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Engine -- needs a lot of work, especially the history section. Ericd 19:54, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Mussel -- needs a lot of help. It is essentially just an article about cooking them at this point. Stellertony the Bookcrosser 18:54, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Harvard Law School -- one of the world's most famous educational facilities in much need of expansion to mark its importance. --Harro5 05:29, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Disaster -- Man-made disasters section needs attention and expansion iKato 18:34, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Signal (computing) -- an important computing topic that has received little attention, they also have an interesting development history, such as when programmers realised how useful they were for simple ipc and started misusing them as there were so few. there are also interesting implemetation things that could be noted about... -- taviso 19:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Inattentional blindness needs a lot of fleshing out. It was just a paragraph consisting of a brief description. I added a discription of the most well known study and some relavent links, but its still has some big holes. Dalf | Talk 07:18, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Caelifera looks like it has been in need of work for a while, but never posted here. Desperately in need of work - currently only a paragraph and pictures. --Stellertony the Bookcrosser 04:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • No Gun Ri - Needs some expansion, many aspects missing. 02:44, 11th Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • The Catcher in the Rye - Needs some expansion, many aspects missing (most notably information about the author, history, influences, social context, etc). 00:14, 11th Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Fanshawe College - Needs to be expanded greatly. Current a stub, with no pictures or more expansive information. 23:58, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • HMS Sceptre (P215) - needs the standard ship description table. an image would be nice. Avriette 19:23, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Antipassive voice - Just a stub with a decent explanation, but no real world examples, statistics, correlation with other morphological features, etc. --Pablo D. Flores 11:27, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • USS George Washington (CVN-73) - George Washington has no "Ship's History" section at all, and without one the article is of very little use to users. TomStar81 22:58, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • USS Nimitz (CVN-68) - Nimitz has been a part of the Navy since the early 1970s, and the lack of history in the "Ship's History" section is disconcerting. TomStar81 22:52, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • European Computer Trade Show - This article has only just been started (surprising, considering how well known it is). It's history - including recent competition and worries for the future - need to be written. The article could also benefit from some formatting once expanded. Mattb90 00:30, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Circumcision and anti-Semitism - Full review of references; check text body for bias; expand text body according to references; improve competency, accuracy and completeness of article. [This is a red link. Could the person who wrote this have intended Christianity and anti-Semitism?]
  • Samaritan's Purse--They are a pretty large christian ministry and pretty well known. It could use more info.--Falphin, 5 Apr 2005
  • Index (retailer) -- currently only says "Rival to Argos (retailer)". SteveW 19:41, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • MovieBeam -- video on demand service by Disney. --Mateusc 17:45, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Equitable Life -- This has been a rather large scandal in the UK and really needs more info. james_anatidae 08:49, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Sunday Times Rich List 2005 - This list needs to be completed, just as we completed it last year and the year before. Hopefully listing it here will get this done faster. mat334 | talk 22:40, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • A. WeissmannThis individual is clearly worthy of inclusion of wikipedia, but this is just a list of achievements. I'm wary of deleting it -- someone could write a little blurb about him before the list and it'd be a fine stub. But as it is, this is just a list, not an article. --Zantastik 17:01, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC). Added by --Randolph 04:40, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) after discovering it was tagged but not listed.

  • Gorazde -- no mention at all of its role and subsequent destruction in the bosnia/serbian conflict. I intend to work on this if I have time. Avriette 00:39, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Metal Detector -- lacks any mention of metal detectors being used as a hobby. -- kristhehedge 00:35, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Discman -- popular Sony electronic audio device. --Mateusc 00:10, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Donkey show-- I put the marker on this article in February, but I just now realized I could list it here. I'm curious to know the legalities and culture surrounding this phenomenon. --Holdek 06:10, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
  • Constitution Restoration Act of 2005: it's proving extremely difficult to dig up any sort of reliable, non-biased information on this new extremely right-wing law-in-progress. It's a very simple yet very frightening bill. 209.223.11.23 23:10, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • David Cockburn: I know he's an important and influencial philosopher, but I'm afraid I didn't major in philosophy so can't do this justice, I've just put in the basics Twrist 20:04, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Forensic anthropology The race determination bit bugs me. It also needs general expansion. Ductapedaredevil 16:50, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Spiral galaxy needs to be expanded to include examples of Spiral galaxies, details/statistics such as size, age, etc., and more recent theories about the formation of the spiral arms (based on dark matter).
  • Culture of Life needs the input of others. It's a political hotpotato, so I want to make sure it gets appropriate treatment. --ghost 07:13, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Uige Province needs work, as it may be getting attention if the outbreak of Marburg virus there takes off. Also, is "province" supposed to be capitalized? Move/redirect? Neurophyre 04:44, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Pond should get a much longer article than just 142 words. -- Tony Jin 00:11, Mar 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • Gadsden flag is a great start to an article. But we could use some more information on the history of the flag. —Linnwood 21:04, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Bobov - the article explains the history of this Hasidic group from the Holocaust to the present, but does not explain any of its philosophies or beliefs.--Josiah 17:30, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delors Commission - This european commission was in office for ten years (85-95), and is regarded by most people as the most influential ever. I created the stub, but I don't really know much about the subject which makes it difficult for me to write about the achievements. Also I would like some feedback on the table i created for the membership. I'm not happy with it in it's current form, how would you suggest it is changed? thanks in advance for feedback. Jacoplane 01:43, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • How-To I think it would be really interesting to see a how-to section (perhaps called wiki-how-to) that would attempt to explain how to do certain things. There could be sections for more academic subjects (ie algebra, statistics) as well as practical subjects (buying a car, etc). In some cases these would cross the line from fact to opinion, but they could be very helpful.
  • Neo-classical growth model, Endogenous growth theory and other topics relating to Economic growth, generally need a lot of work. In my opinion, these are very important topics with very limited and often misleading treatment.
  • Food processing - rescued from a re-direct but a very large subject with a very small article. Velela 15:26, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • King Hamlet, basicaly the same txt as on Hamlet page. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 08:23, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Hiram Corson, i know their has to be more out their on this guy then where he taught, hopefully some one will sexpand him, i dont want to have to put it on vfd. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 10:47, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC) Thank you for the user who took up this cause. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 04:29, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Dr. Edward Turner Bale (1810 - 1849), an English immigrant physician who built the Bale Grist Mill in Napa County, California. I started writing the article, but more details should be added from the sources already listed and from elsewhere. ~leifHELO 23:51, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Unnatural Death, a murder novel from 1927. I have never heard of it, and was hoping someone might be able to add more information then is currently available. Coolgamer 19:56, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Clodhopper (candy), I know most people don't know what it is, so visit the website www.clodhoppers.tv, read the newspaper articles included on the website, then improve this budding article. --Munchkinguy 19:44, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • American Plan, another term from American history, how widely was it used, who did it appply to etc.--nixie 06:30, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Big sister policy, seems to be about an 1889 trade policy in the Americas. The page should make that clear and include all other relevant details--nixie 02:01, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • DSDM Good broad information... but what is it in practical terms? 12:29, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Thermochromics A substub that could make a very interesting article. As soon as I get my camera working I will take a picture of my color changing shirt. Jaberwocky6669 02:21, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Psychosexual stages There needs to be a brief description of Latency. I see that there are other articles about each individual stage, so it does not need to be expaned in that respect. Also, there needs to be a list of related articles such as Sigmund Freud and psychosocial stages. If I was writing the article, I would have combined each the the small articles on each page, however by seperating them, it allows for mor expansion--perhaps.Joseph Wayne Hicks 02:04, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Representational State Transfer aka REST. FWIW, Yahoo! API page links to Wikipedia [8]. But, the article needs more info like images, etc. --Rrjanbiah 07:01, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The Pipil are a group of ancient and modern people living in El Salvador. The originating information for this article seems to come from the cited internet source, but was apparantly poorly translated and made little sense. Although I have gathered a little more information, a good translation of the original university file would be very helpful. Spanish speaker/readers, please take a look. Thanks.

  • IED - Improvised Explosive Device - Should describe the typical devices used in Iraq, and countermeasures (jamming).
  • Doxylamine - Should be updated to Wikipedia standards by someone with pharmaceutical expertise. I started the article because it's the antihistamine in NyQuil, but I can't even find a chemical formula for it.
  • firebrick - Could do with a lot of expansion. I've only found some references to it in other places.
  • Dual-tone multi-frequency - Very technical & strong article, but would benefit greatly from someone placing some kind of table relating tones to musical notation - someone's also requested this in the discussion page.
  • AASHTO - I have a feeling this article has great potential, because this is a big organization with a lot of influence. I've requested more information from AASHTO, but their website already has a great deal of useful info we can incorporate. Some users were trying to move it to Wiktionary because of its stubbiness, and I'd like to avert this. Deco 18:49, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Artificial neuron - History could use some fleshing out. Info on transfer functions needs to be further explicated. - eslip17 12:20, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • British literature - I've added skimpy coverage of the previously blank periods, but more depth and coherence is needed in all of the English language sections, and more coherence and less depth in the non-English language sections. Philip 22:57, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • A Tale of Two Turtles - Insignificant documentary someone decided to write an article on. It basically just lists the names of people involved in it. If people have nothing to say about a subject why do they need to write articles on them? Needs to say something about the film. I assume it's about turtles, but can't find any real info. -R. fiend 18:21, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Duncan Ball - an Australian author, the article is beyond a stub but needs quite a bit of expansion-perhaps a bit of background on each book
  • The Rules of the Game - regularly cited as one of the greatest films of all time, yet only a brief, uninformative srub.
  • Points-paying in regards to auto racing could be expanded with charts of how many positions in a race are given points per racing series. --Woohookitty 02:20, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • The history section of the Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Social Sciences and Philosophy needs some drastic tidying up as it is getting rather unwieldly. 3 Feb 2005
  • The Wikipedia:List of encyclopedia topics, including the biography pages leading off it (the redirects need to be set up). There is much work to be done on these, and few pointers to the listings. 3 Feb 2005
  • Joseph Labadie - Probably the most well-known American anarchist besides Emma Goldman. Currently a brief stub. Kaldari 05:36, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • The Two Babylons - badly needs expansion of the rest of the book, and this can be a bit of a hard slog to read through. Any help would be most appreciated! - Ta bu shi da yu 09:29, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Raven (comics) - This article is about the superhero Raven from the Teen Titans. It referres mainly to a psychological (!!)description of the animated series' Raven and it has almost nothing about the comic books. --Neigel von Teighen 19:17, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Wine Gum - I can't belive someone hasn't written an article on this yet. I have started one, but I don't know anything about wine gums. --64.10.150.194 03:04, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) (aka User:Munchkinguy)
  • Code Blue - is a dictionary definition, but could have more details on procedures involved --Christopherlin 06:36, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Thames House - Headquarters of MI5, created a breif article, but nothing compared to the good article on the MI6's headquarters. Grunners 20:16, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Error code - Currently a dicdef and new article. Could use error code lists, origins of the concepts, variations and links, but I lack the knowledge for it etc. --Circeus 15:20, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)

  • Montessori Method may not have a neutral POV. It does not include criticism of the method or a critical comparison with alternative educational philosophies. It also lacks research-based outcomes. Most websites speak of Montessori in glowing terms, so some effort may be required to balance this article. --Westendgirl 06:27, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Frank Frazetta - artist is extremely influential in fantasy/sci fi, yet has minimal content, no photos, not even a portrait of the artist. It doesnt even have a long list of his artwork, and the guy's produced stuff for more than 50 years. This guy is the reason Conan The Barbarian got famous!  ALKIVAR  04:13, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Human rights in Europe - Article needs expanding, some sections still to be written. Also, there are many red links on this page which could do with having articles created. Grunners 16:46, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Augusta National Golf Club - Needs a lot more info on the controversy regarding its no-women policy. --

    • It needs more on everything. If only that subject is added I will mark it pov for disproportionality. Philip 22:53, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I have done some work on it and promoted to a stub. --Sn0wflake 14:38, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Longitudinal wave I believe it could use information about usage in applied physics, how to model them, picture, etc. I personally don't know much about them (hence this request), so I wouldn't know what needs to be done. -- MIT Trekkie 17:33, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
