[edit] Splitting

If this page becomes successful, we can split it into other pages, like the village pump. They could be:

  • Wikipedia:Article improvement (Facts) to request references or new information to add to articles.
  • Wikipedia:Article improvement (Images): to request new images or image manipulation
  • Wikipedia:Article improvement (Templates): for help with templates

[edit] WP:AID

Isn't this somewhat redundant with the article improvement drive? Or do you have a different focus in mind for this project? —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, there's also Wikipedia:Article development (which I found by looking at the deleted revisions of this project page: it seems this page was created in June 2005 by Talrias, who later requested its deletion as redundant). —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Interesting. One page is used to choose a specific article so many people contribute to it. The other I didn't really get. I think this page is different from both. It is supposed to be like a Help Desk, like a Reference Desk, like a Village Pump: a place where there is discussion, but not about using Wikipedia, not about general knowledge, not about technical matters: it's supposed to be about articles. It's supposed to comprise all discussions about articles that, for some reason, cannot be on their talk pages. It's supposed to be a place where people advertise to other people the need for certain articles to be improved, and give suggestions and make requests regarding this. Though that's just my view.

[edit] Move

I think the current name is bad. It ought to be "article discussion" or something, because "article improvement" suggests it's only about articles that already exist, when it can also be used to discuss the creation of new articles. A.Z. 23:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Further justification

This section has further justification for this page. A.Z. 03:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
