Wikipedia: Requests for expansion

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

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:Requests for expansion.

Alternative pages:

Please list entries chronologically (newest at top) and add {{expansion}} to the top of the article. Once an entry has been expanded make sure to remove it from this page.

  • Culture of Europe - Needs a serious amount of work. The content that's there doesn't begin to cover the subject. --DMG413 00:35, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Freedom of press - I don't think this is the right article, but I just read that the US government now requires government approval for US firms to publish writing from dissidents in certain nations. (Los Angeles Times, 12/7/2004, "Will voices of dissent still be heard?" - I have the text of the article if anyone wants it.) It seems that this should be added in somewhere... Aion 20:45, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Textile_manufacturing_terminology - Looks like someone has started it and abandoned it halfway; there are mostly empty sections and the text looks pasted from elsewhere. There is also an unpunctuated list of terms sitting in the middle of the text. Someone with expertise in textile please help. --Arenhaus
  • Parlour game - Lacking in information. I want to save it from being just a list of games. Peter O. (Talk, automation script) 15:38, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Historical reconstruction of the sort of person Jesus would be - needs info on the BBC documentary of Jesus' face etc. CheeseDreams 21:44, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission was a interesting part of civil rights history and needs more info. james_anatidae 04:03, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Monofilament line This article can use more information. Joel M. 00:16, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Optometry is a fairly good article but could use a section on History of Optometry. also, the divisions at the bottom could point to specific articles on each of the specialties of Optometry. --Bastique 16:17, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • John Esposito, could do with lots of work! - Ta bu shi da yu 06:00, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Right now, I've got about thirty entries on the list. Need help adding the next 19,970.N2lect2el 03:47, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Willem Einthoven - Requesting some good writers to try and expand this page, it pretty much contains the bare minimum (details of birth, death and claim to fame) KingTT 06:32, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Same with the Economy of North America, Economy of South America and Economy of Oceania. They are just blank templates that need to get up to the same quality of Economy of Africa. Norman Rogers 14:24, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Royal Society - has a nice introduction and some facts, but the body of the article is missing. :( It would be nice to have information about formal status, relation to the Crown, financing, notable activities (missions), foreign relations, internal politics, etc. Paranoid 10:46, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Here are a couple links [[ http://www.sacredland.org/PDFs/Wintu_Timeline.pdf]] and [[1]]1:26 AM 11/28/04
  • UNEP - While this page is not itself a stub by most estimates, please help me fill in the information on the "Stockholm + 10n" Conferences it links to, which certainly are. I plan to run through my environmental politics notes from this term, but more help is appreciated. --GenkiNeko 02:39, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • List of Europe-related topics - Began this today in order to bring together the huge number of European topics, help completing it would be good! Grunners 22:50, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • The Divine Comedy - Is an ok article already but poorly organized and surely there's much more that could be said about this classic. Zaha 21:53, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • U.S. International Trade Commission - A powerful U.S. government agency that is sometimes connected with protectionism. -- Toytoy 17:28, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • League of Nations - requires serious expansion. Rather than just listing the reasons for its failure in short form we need to go into depth and have a detalied history of the League's actions, particularly in regards to the Italian invasion of Abyssinia and also discuss its successes. AndyL 16:40, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Google Community - Really needs major expanding. Lacks important info.
  • Emotion Engine - put up specs but I'd like to have an overview of the Emotion Engine's architecture and comparisons to other console processors. Diceman 15:11, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Geography of Europe - Currently only contains infomation scraped together from other articles, really needs expanding. Grunners 01:35, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Economy of Europe - already has a lot of infomation, but many sections are brief, or even blank. An article that covers an issue of such scope should be far more detailed. Grunners 01:35, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Lake Not much information at all for the topic. Needs expansion. Tezeti

Nov 11-20

  • Northern Hemisphere - Only 3 sentences long right now. - RedWordSmith 19:22, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)

  • Social Software
  • Grilled cheese sandwich This article on Grilled cheese lacks any history of the sandwich and a better picture might illustrate what a normal sandwich looks like. Considering the popularity of the sandwich, I figured it deserved more information. Nrbelex 04:01, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Teton Range -- very little information for such a popular mountain range bob rulz 21:32, Nov 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • Wallpaper -- barely more than a definition and much shorter than its virtual counterpart. Norman Rogers 14:22, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • US Gold -- a highly influential British computer games publisher/developer during the 1980s. I've written a brief history and a section on the controversial World Cup Carnival game, but there's certainly a lot more that can be done with the page. Sonance
  • Osiris-Dionysus, there is virtually no content to this page, on what should in fact be quite a large subject. CheeseDreams 15:22, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • EMOTIVe and AMOTION - someone please add these pictures to thier respective album pages

www.aperfectcircle.com/emotive_art/emotive.html, www.aperfectcircle.com/emotive_art/amotion.html

  • Diffusion of innovations - this theory forms the groundwork for studies in how and why people adopt new ideas, practices and products. It has affected everything from how marketers convince people to try new engineering devices to how aid workers convinced people in Lesotho to use solar ovens, instead of dangerous oil burners. This article could be expanded to provide more theory, graphics of the technology adoption s-curve, and conflicting and complementary theories and viewpoints from across the social sciences. --Westendgirl 02:44, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Igigi, Nanium, Imi, Elulu, Shu-turul - sub-stubs on Babalonian kings. (Moved from WP:LO JesseW 22:29, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • Aradhe a substub about a town in Nigeria. JesseW 22:29, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • After Forever - A band of world-wide expression can't have such a small, uninformative article. I tried to work on it, but I just don't know enough about their back-story to make a descent article. Any fan or music enthusiast out there should try this one.
  • I am hoping to get the Arch Deluxe and OK Soda articles up to FAC quality. I submitted them both to peer review, but I didn't receive that much feedback. -- DropDeadGorgias (talk) 18:13, Nov 11, 2004 (UTC)

Oct 19-31


  • Dot-com - Considering about 200 articles link here, both about the dot-com bubble and subsequent burst, this article doesn't do a particularly good job at either, and has no intro to set the context, but just jumps into a bit about the bust. A little to big to be COTW, but really needs help. Niteowlneils 03:01, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Jody call - Used to redirect to cadence: moved material there to here, since "cadence" ought to be a disambig. Someone other than myself probably knows much more about how these songs figure in military life and training, and could expand it with interesting examples. A picture of soldiers marching might make the article more interesting, and I'm sure that the U.S. government has a suitable public domain picture somewhere. Smerdis of Tlön 21:02, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Immunoisolate - My first thought was to list it on VfD as a dicdef, but it seems like a legitimate medical concept that merits a more comprehensive article. JamesMLane 03:38, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Battle of Verdun - One of the most important battles of WWI but a fairly short article. Needs a good deal of expansion (what led up to the battle, phases of the battle). Also needs to be brought in line with articles on other battles (formatting, etc). Jacob1207 22:49, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Margaret Hassan - substub for a story dominating UK headlines - the head of Care International in Iraq taken hostage. fabiform | talk 17:34, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Evil twin - I know there are lots of instances, but can't recite them off the top of my head. Comic book/TV buffs, please have a field day. --82.92.184.196 11:10, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Nagano - it's a major city, deserves much more than the very short article it has --Flitzer 20:43, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • NASCAR - Very short and barely contains any history, I'm going to try to add some on my own but I'm not the greatest writer, I neeed some help. --SonicAD 13:59, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Tetovo - I've made a stub in order to encourage people knowledgeable on the subject to expand it. I'm sure there's plenty to add. Etz Haim 13:41, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Psychobiology - A scientific area that could be very interesting for many people, but there don't appear to be any good descriptions or introductions available on the internet. --Nectarflowed 07:27, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Oct 1-Oct 8

  • Grand Prix Legends - A great game that needs a great article. Ericd 20:44, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Oldies - near-substub for extremely common music genre. Neutrality (talk) 23:37, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Grant-maintained school Significant and controversial topic in UK education, but that's about as much as I know. Quick Google search showed controversy, for example, over Muslim grant-maintained schools with backing from, Cat Stevens . I would really appreciate someone taking my stub and turning it into a real article. --Cje 11:49, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Hubbert Peak - The implications of this proven theory are tremendous and not properly addressed. Rising oil prices will dramatically change the way the world works. GuloGuloGulo 21:26, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Bar (establishment) - Wow. Wikipedia needs more information about bars for us folks on the left side of the pond. Compare with Public house. Rhobite 03:59, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
  • Pregnancy - More infomation regarding pregnancy recommended for addition, including:
    • Effects on mother (just added a stub within main wiki)
    • Pregnancy and society (new wiki if seen as not revelant to main topic)

    • any other revelant topics

  • Vacation - So much could be said about vacations, vacation spots, vacation days, etc. Surely the topic deserves more than a paragraph. – Quadell (talk) (help) 20:51, Sep 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Internet forum - All known forum systems should be listed. This will allow future articles to be posted. - Andros 1337 23:14, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Dell Computer - A short article for a very major company. Norm 22:00, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Pathos - A form of Rhetoric. I don't think it should be a redirect to Rhetoric (especially since Ethos and Logos are separate pages), but there should be more info. There's a small section on it in Rhetoric, too. pie4all88 20:37, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Orange Catholic Bible - has a lot of interesting backstory, but it's been quite a while since I read Dune. Maybe someone more clued in could expand this? --Twinxor 11:48, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

  • Oriana Fallaci: prominent Italian journalist and author. Little though I like her remarks on contemporary Islam, she certainly deserves more of an article. We mostly have a bibliography, quotations, and links. -- Jmabel 19:32, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

  • Mia Zapata, highly respected (albeit not nationally famous) rock musician, murdered in 1993.

  • 1947 UN Partition Plan - The article says, "To make the committee more neutral, none of the Great Powers were represented", but doesn't elaborate which nations this refers to.

Science fiction on television has a long and detailed history of the genre on British television, which I wrote for the page a couple of months ago, but only a single paragraph on American science-fiction television. When I did the edit adding all the details of British TV sci-fi history, I only left the stub paragraph for the US there as I assumed someone more knowledgeable about US TV sci-fi than myself would come along and add to it. Although there have been a couple of minor details added, it still looks embarrassingly small when compared to the section on UK TV sci-fi, which is rather unbalanced considering the American contribution to the genre. Angmering

Well, I've now done some research and added to this section of the article myself. I think it's okay, not as much context and background as the UK section, but more than enough basic history and information, I hope! Angmering 18:33, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Excellent article - I reckon that it would be good to split off the UK section into its own article and then reserve the main page for general worldwide encyclopedic trends and stuff - Drstuey 15:16, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Prose seems suprisingly brief, considering it encompasses such a large amount of literature, and when compared to the Poetry or Literature articles. Anyone with ideas? Some useful additions might be authors, their works, history, etc --Brendanfox 10:52, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

References to the Cthulhu Mythos - I believe this article could contain some more information, since the Cthulhu Mythos is very wide and still influences several kinds of works.

U.S. two dollar bill, U.S. five dollar bill, U.S. ten dollar bill, U.S. twenty dollar bill, U.S. fifty dollar bill, and U.S. hundred dollar bill Can you expand these articles by putting other milestones in the bills' histories??

Also, if you have any milestones in their histories that date prior to the time of the Federal Reserve, please label them as "pre-Federal Reserve history", making the history currently mentioned designated as "Federal Reserve history".
