These are the areas of Wikipeda which I believe are in most need of immediate attention. Please help me develop them:

[edit] Wikipedia used as a defacto help resource by those in need

While pondering Wikipedia's mission to help readers find the information they need, it occurred to me to check and see how well Wikipedia may provide information about help to those in actual need of help. That is, presuming that people check Wikipedia for its coverage on just about every subject there is, how well does Wikipedia present the resources that someone in crisis would need? So I took a look around, and was surprised to see that this area of Wikipedia's coverage is far from adequate. I thought I'd better report this observation to someone, and so that is what I'm doing right now (reporting to you, on this page, please read on). I'm still in the process of surveying (and editing) this area of Wikipedia's coverage, and will be adding pages to this list as I find them, but this is what I've noticed so far. If you want to have the highest impact you can on Wikipedia's value to people in general, then these pages may be exactly where your help is needed most; as of February 20th, 2007:

• Help is in need of help. I've added some help resources, but I'm sure I've missed entire areas.
• Suicide and related articles (see the template to the right) read like an instruction manual on the various ways to commit (and even coordinate) suicide. The focus should be on prevention, intervention, and treatment. If the main thing a contemplater finds on Wikipedia is a description on how to do it, then we're giving that person the absolutely wrong information - not what he or she needs to see. Each such instance should be accompanied by information on help resources or emphasized links to help-resources. There's too many of these pages for me to handle alone in the short-term, and I believe the matter is urgent. There are victims of suicide every day, and what if these articles influenced the last decision they ever made? I've added an intervention section to the article on suicide, but the rest still need to be looked at.
• The article disaster has no section on disaster relief
• Unemployment merely describes what unemployment is, and doesn't yet provide the information which an unemployed person would most likely need the most.
• Hunger - no coverage from the context of a personal or world-wide problem.
  • Hunger (disambiguation) - same here.
• Depression (mood) - has nothing on intervention. There's nothing in the body of the article that addresses the subject from the viewpoint of what someone who is depressed might need (immediately), or for people trying to help someone who is depressed. You have to read through the entire article to find anything that might be immediately useful - the external links section. What about internal coverage?
  • Depression -- ditto
• Homelessness - the topic presentation was upside down, so I rearranged it. This article has better coverage than the rest of the articles on this list, but is still very lacking in resource-oriented material. The "help for the homeless" section needs expansion, as does the see also section.
• Emergency - has a one-line definition and a disambiguation page. No article!

The above articles need more than just a few links tacked on to the end, but are seriously lacking in see also coverage none the less. These articles need attention by editors with empathy. Please help.
