[edit] Missing field subentries and Requesting an Article
- "press" and maybe some other keywords from this field should IMHO be added under where "media" is listed to facilitate searching.
- More generally: The respective field is also very broad and might stand a split.
- Very generally: The process of requesting an article also seems to be something that could be made easier in itself.
Rationale: Specifically, I started feeling slightly tripwired when after finding "flack attack" (sic!) used here [1] and obviously it's an important topic as to WP, but there's no article, hence, trying to request one, I found that to be a many-too-many-click procedure also requiring perceivable thought just for finding the right spot. Things seem to tend to be less-than-easy here. In particular, I had to resort to my browser's builtin page search in order to find "media" (no "press" there, nor "wiki" or "PR".) I feel that Requesting articles should be as easy as possible so as to avoid too many auxiliary article creations. If in doubt about the justification of this rationale, just do the steps as though you were me having this problem and I think you'll understand.
WP'ians and Admins, Thanks a lot for considering this.

The Barabus TKR is shown at the end of the video, right after the current GWR holder, the Koenigsegg CCXR.
[edit] When to delete fulfilled requests?
What's the standard for deciding when to delete requests that have been fulfilled? Looking at Social Sciences, there are at least a hundred articles turned from red to blue. The majority of them aren't dated, so there's no easy way to tell if the request was filled today or last month, and in many cases the hotlink was turned blue via redirect anyway. For articles of unknown date of request, is there any reason we shouldn't just go through and delete them all from the list, since whoever requested them can just type the same words into the Search box? Please advise. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
