  • List of Jewish surnames - Sheynhertz-Unbayg 15:16, 29 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Compound (linguistics) - Could really use an in-depth abstract and cross-linguistic discussion of compound types (maybe bringing in and adapting from the Sanskrit language page, with modern terms alongside traditional Sanskrit ones). While at it, English compounds could use some cleanup and formatting, too. --Pablo D. Flores 12:39, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • List of Transitional Fossils - Needs expanded
  • Mozambique. Mostly a list of links. Desperately needs expansion. Norman Rogers\talk 20:11, 24 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Houyhnhnm - Pathetically short stub, considering all the nauseatingly detailed articles there are on every sci-fi, anime, video game, etc. topic. I'd do it myself, but I'm sure someone else can do a much better job. -R. fiend 22:02, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

(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

[edit]

Oct 19-31

  • 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)

  • 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)

  • Robert Johnson - Our article accurately describes him as "probably the most influential delta blues singer and guitarist in history" (and, I would add, a damned fine songwriter, based on what little he recorded of his own songs), but it doesn't go into much analysis of his lyrics or music -- Jmabel 19:32, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

  • 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)

Barbus - Ram-Man has set up a batch of excellent articles on fishes in this genus, but the material is mainly aquarium oriented and someone with a bit of technical background needs to rake through FishBase and add more ichthyological material.
