Almost every article in Wikipedia could do with some expansion. This page is for listing those Wikipedia:stubs, Wikipedia: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:Articles to be expanded. Alternative pages: *For articles where shortness is but one of a number of problems such as POV or wikification please list them on WP:CU or Wikipedia:Pages needing attention. *For pages needing an image please list them at Wikipedia:Requested images *For pages that do not yet exist please list them on Wikipedia:Requested articles Please list entries chronologically (newest at top) and add is a river in Ukraine... -- User:Francs2000 | [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Francs2000&action=edit§ion=new Talk] 02:11, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Seattle General Strike of 1919 - impetus for red scare, important event in US labor history User:67.170.139.129 00:17, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Celestial Mechanics - The Examples of Problems should have more detail, I think. --User:Ben Standeven 21:28, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Convention People's Party - The article of the most important political party in Ghanaian history includes only the latest election results. --User:Sesel 03:08, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Katie Brownell - 11 year old Little Leaguer known for her amazing strike-out feat. The story may be a short one, but it's not yet over. I don't know how to follow all the details (searching for her yields mostly older news stories, not newer ones), but I think she's worth expanding on, even if her fame is only fleeting. --User:CGally81 00:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth - more on history, current status, famous inmates, etc would make this a much better article. Right now, it's too long to be a stub, but not complete yet.
*Weatherzone - Article right now reads like a dicdef or an advertising blurb. While it may be important to Australians, not being one I don't see how it is; if it is significant, it needs to be exanded so it doesn't end up on VFD listing.--User:Mitsukai 15:45, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I'm a weatherzone user, and I don't think the weatherzone website itself is significant enough to warrant an article. It's just a glorified version of the Bureau of Meteorology website. I do think there would be a case for creating an article on [www.theweather.com.au The Weather Company], which manages weatherzone, and also is the main distributor of weather information to TV stations. I'll see what I can do about it, though I really should be studying for exams now :) -- User:Pianoman87 03:30, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*List of holiday colors - Article only covers the U.S., and does not list colors of every holiday. Note that I have relisted this article as it barely got any attention last month. User:Andros 1337 04:18, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:I hope I've helped somewhat. I don't know that many non-US holidays(I looked through :Category:Holidays somewhat.) Maybe listing this with some of the non-US noticeboards might be helpful. User:JesseW 02:53, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
* 1998 U.S. embassy bombings - very short --User:Tothebarricades.tk 03:45, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)

*Paraplegia has only three lines. User:Fabiform | User talk:Fabiform 17:54, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Netscape (web browser) needs to be expanded to include the new Netscape 8.0. Or should it be merged into Netscape Browser - are they different?
**They are different. --User:Minghong 08:47, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*God (male deity) - Self-nomination (or what do you call it) but it could use some expansion... User:Pastinakel 10:49, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Very funny. User:Ryan Prior 02:55, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
:Are there any other self-contradictory terms?
::What are you, an oxymoron? ;-) — User:RJHall
::: Yeah, yeah. But seriously, that article is really lame right now. ''—User:Mzajac User talk:Mzajac 2005-06-8 23:14 Z''
:I think it needs a broken link to WMD to make it authentic
* Western Front (World War I) so short as to be almost misleading. User:Peregrine981 14:19, May 30, 2005 (UTC)
* Burlesque is a rather short article on an important and well-documented cultural phenomenon.
*Disney's 65 episode policy needs more information on controversy regarding this policy and a more complete list of shows affected by it

*Succession to Muhammad. Has several empty sections. --User:Tothebarricades.tk 23:27, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
*The Coca-Cola Company is 90% criticism of the company. Definitely needs work as far as the company's history. There are sub articles about Coca-Cola (the drink) and Coca-Cola brands. User:Feco 22:29, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
*The North West Company article has a great deal of information on the company's past. Most people don't know that it is still operating today. Can someone please update and "modernise" the article. The Northwest Company's website is [http://www.northwest.ca/BackOffice/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=10016 here] and the info page is [http://www.northwest.ca/BackOffice/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabindex=3&tabid=10020 here].
*Culture of Bolivia - needs more information. --User:209.158.180.197 12:21, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
*Predicative verb - a subset of stative verbs, à la Japanese ''i-''adjectives. Only mentions a few languages, almost no examples, and the instances of those look suspiciously like zero copula. See talk page. --User:Pablo-flores
*AFL-CIO - America's largest trade union, in need of a much larger article to detail its achievements, history and relationship with the Democratic Party. See the Talk:AFL-CIO for more.
*St. Joseph's College, Edmonton - Article needs to be "fleshed out". In addition, there are problems with the overall style of the article (ie. needs to be cleaned up).
*Coat of Arms of Cuba- so their is an article and it's just a picture of the COA and the caption "Coat of arms of Cuba". I am sure someone could say something about the symbols in it and what they stand for, also considering that this is a Communist country it have a very non-communist style of COA.
*Historic preservation - Seems as if the article was cut of in mid stream, their should be a lot more to say about Historic preservation then what is stated in the article.
*Formula one - Many race result tables have last row missing, usually first retirement of the race
*Criminal tattoo - particularly US tattoos (there are some helpful links at the bottom of the article). — ''Note: added by :User:195.157.197.108''
*American Forces Network - I am part of the Wikipedia Cleanup Taskforce so I have been doing cleanup work on the page, but it needs to be expanded as well. Right now, it has 0 information on the AFN as it served US Troops in the Vietnam War, which is a major part of its history. If someone could find some info and add it, it would be appreciated. — ''Note: added by :User:Woohookitty''
*Politeness - Fascinating topic, too short, almost no examples, good stub and little else. Needs linguistics topics (Japanese politeness is in already), polite gestures, specific non-Western cultural conventions to make it balanced, resolving red links (see Talk:Politeness). --User:Pablo-flores 01:48, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*Tony Bennett - Ridiculously short amount of information on very notable vocalist. A google search for Tony has Wikipedia as the fourth site. User:ErikNY 20:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
:I've started work on it. User:Wasted Time R 22:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::First pass done, have taken off expansion request marker. User:Wasted Time R 01:53, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Left-wing extremism and Right-wing extremism - the left-wing article is up for Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Left-wing extremism, but it would be better if both pieces were improved uppon and made more factual and NPOV. User:Harro5 00:04, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
*Clothing terminology - Needs major work, but promises to be a good article. User:StepsTogether 21:58, May 13, 2005 (UTC) - I have basically ripped it apart and started over, trying to cover the "questions" originally asked -will continue to expand. User:PKM 23:40, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

*Britain in the Middle Ages - Should be expanded up until Bosworth/the Reformation. The 'Early Mediæval' part is a bit sketchy and anecdotal. User:Eixo 10:58, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
*Japanese poetry - Historical section is sketchy and in some parts still drafting, other parts remain only frameworks. --User:AphaiaUser talk:Aphaia 07:48, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
*Parental Advisory label -- this topic of widespread importance and mild political controversy (Tipper Gore did some grandstanding about it, among others) is only two sentences at present. The list of artists will probably have to be discarded as unmaintainable. —User:Wahoofive (User talk:Wahoofive) 21:17, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
*Shinshukyo - I just started the page; don't know much about Shinshūkyō in general, but I'm writing about the involvement of Judeo-Christian beliefs in many Shinshūkyō. Needs expansion to the more general section, and to any other sections I have omitted. User:LordAmeth 12:57, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
*Dositheos- currently only one sentence. This is an important historical figure from the foundation of christianity and gnosticism.
*Death poem - less structural; historical development, cultural significance, death poem today could be described. --User:AphaiaUser talk:Aphaia 09:06, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
*Playwright - Weak. Doesn't even mention Shakespeare! --User:Tothebarricades.tk 06:29, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
*Ferrari 250. Right now it's basically a collection of stubs. Needs to be expanded with features of each car and such. --User:Woohookitty 06:18, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

*Japanese strategic planning for the Pacific (1905-1940) - interesting topic, but there is no actual explanation of Japanese military planning for WWII. User:Sietse Snel 07:04, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
*Carl-Heinrich von Stülpnagel - such an interesting personality in WWII Germany deserves much more than one sentence! --User:Jemiller226 05:54, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
*Amino acid - metabolism (synthesis and degradation) of amino acids is entirely missing. --User:Eleassar777 07:39, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

*Gatorade - List of flavors is likely incomplete, and some do not have their release years stated. User:Andros 1337 01:33, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

===April===

*Harry Potter RPGs - I cleaned it up and wikified it as requested, then removed those templates, but still don't think it is a complete article. See its Talk:Harry Potter RPGs for more information. User:Ben Babcock 01:57, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Prediction - Basic outline for a few things. Still needs a huge expansion, or at least suitable links to relevant articles. See the Talk:Prediction for a (messy) list of related topics (moved out of the article). --User:Pablo-flores 15:41, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Coincidence could be developed as well: one sentence and a collection of links. 28 Apr 2005
*Airbus A380 - this aircraft will fly for the first time today. It will receive a lot of publicity and Airbus will release a lot of information. Let's take advantage of this and improve the article. User:Mat334 | User talk:Mat334 06:51, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
*LinuxQuestions.org - highly-respected Linux-help website. Up for Vfd but the unanimous vote is to keep and expand. Needs to be written so it doesn't sound so much like an ad. User:Master Thief Garrett 05:06, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Coke (fuel) - important material in chemistry, used in many industry, needs expansion. -- User:Tony Jin | User talk:Tony Jin 04:08, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
*Bullycide - a bare stub right now... seems like an important enough topic to merit expansion. User:Feco 19:02, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*AIDS in Africa - Far too short for such an important topic. Sixty percent of all HIV/AIDS sufferers live in Africa. The scope for discussing the social and economic effects in this article is massive. User:TreveX 16:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Audi R8 is a notable racing car with many victoris in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Could use with a little more history and technical specifications. --User:Pc13 15:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama With the great articles we have about the Popes now this article about one of the worlds most famous people is embarrasingly short. User:Preisler 02:14, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Engine -- needs a lot of work, especially the history section. User:Ericd 19:54, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Signal (computing) -- an important computing topic that has received little attention, they also have an interesting development history, such as when programmers realised how useful they were for simple ipc and started misusing them as there were so few. there are also [http://www.bindview.com/Services/Razor/Papers/2001/signals.cfm interesting implemetation things] that could be noted about... -- User:Taviso 19:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Inattentional blindness needs a lot of fleshing out. It was just a paragraph consisting of a brief description. I added a discription of the most well known study and some relavent links, but its still has some big holes. User:Dalf | User talk:Dalf 07:18, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Caelifera looks like it has been in need of work for a while, but never posted here. Desperately in need of work - currently only a paragraph and pictures. --User:Stellertony 04:55, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*No Gun Ri - Needs some expansion, many aspects missing. 02:44, 11th Apr 2005 (UTC)

*USS Nimitz (CVN-68) - ''Nimitz'' has been a part of the Navy since the early 1970s, and the lack of history in the "Ship's History" section is disconcerting. User:TomStar81 22:52, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*European Computer Trade Show - This article has only just been started (surprising, considering how well known it is). It's history - including recent competition and worries for the future - need to be written. The article could also benefit from some formatting once expanded. User:Mattb90 00:30, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Circumcision and Anti-semitism - Full review of references; check text body for bias; expand text body according to references; improve competency, accuracy and completeness of article.
*Samaritan's Purse--They are a pretty large christian ministry and pretty well known. It could use more info.--Falphin, 5 Apr 2005

*A. WeissmannThis individual is clearly worthy of inclusion of wikipedia, but this is just a list of achievements. I'm wary of deleting it -- someone could write a little blurb about him before the list and it'd be a fine stub. But as it is, this is just a list, not an article. --User:Zantastik 17:01, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC). Added by --User:Randolph 04:40, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC) after discovering it was tagged but not listed.

*Constitution Restoration Act of 2005: it's proving extremely difficult to dig up any sort of reliable, non-biased information on this new extremely right-wing law-in-progress. It's a very simple yet very frightening bill. User:209.223.11.23 23:10, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*David Cockburn: I know he's an important and influencial philosopher, but I'm afraid I didn't major in philosophy so can't do this justice, I've just put in the basics User:Twrist 20:04, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
* Forensic anthropology The race determination bit bugs me. It also needs general expansion. User:Ductapedaredevil 16:50, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*Whistle walk I'm sure that this is a valid article; however, I know of no way to expand it. Any slavery experts out there? User:Jaberwocky6669 03:33, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
*Spiral galaxy needs to be expanded to include examples of Spiral galaxies, details/statistics such as size, age, etc., and more recent theories about the formation of the spiral arms (based on dark matter).

*Cinema of Greece - this is currently a combination of a couple of lists and a substub. Much more needs to be written. -- User:The Anome 13:41, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
*Delors Commission - This european commission was in office for ten years (85-95), and is regarded by most people as the most influential ever. I created the stub, but I don't really know much about the subject which makes it difficult for me to write about the achievements. Also I would like some feedback on the table i created for the membership. I'm not happy with it in it's current form, how would you suggest it is changed? thanks in advance for feedback. User:Jacoplane 01:43, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*Circumcision and Media Ethics: Needs links to references and work to improve NPOV.
*How-To I think it would be really interesting to see a how-to section (perhaps called wiki-how-to) that would attempt to explain how to do certain things. There could be sections for more academic subjects (ie algebra, statistics) as well as practical subjects (buying a car, etc). In some cases these would cross the line from fact to opinion, but they could be very helpful.
*Neo-classical growth model, Endogenous growth theory and other topics relating to Economic growth, generally need a lot of work. In my opinion, these are very important topics with very limited and often misleading treatment.

*Unnatural Death, a murder novel from 1927. I have never heard of it, and was hoping someone might be able to add more information then is currently available. User:Coolgamer 19:56, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)
*Clodhopper (candy), I know most people don't know what it is, so visit the website [http://www.clodhoppers.tv www.clodhoppers.tv], read the newspaper articles included on the website, then improve this budding article. --User:Munchkinguy 19:44, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

*DSDM Good broad information... but what is it in practical terms? 12:29, Mar 11, 2005 (UTC)
*Thermochromics A substub that could make a very interesting article. As soon as I get my camera working I will take a picture of my color changing shirt. User:Jaberwocky6669 02:21, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
*Psychosexual stages There needs to be a brief description of Latency. I see that there are other articles about each individual stage, so it does not need to be expaned in that respect. Also, there needs to be a list of related articles such as Sigmund Freud and psychosocial stages. If I was writing the article, I would have combined each the the small articles on each page, however by seperating them, it allows for mor expansion--perhaps.User:Whicky1978 02:04, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
*History of Mexican-Americans This was a long-ignored requested article that was only recently created and has now been worked into something near presentable quality. But it could use expansion and editing in each section, particularly "The Chicano Movement" and the missing section on current immigration. Also needs references, which I will try to help with. User:24.126.41.116 08:38, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC) aka User:Italo Svevo
*Representational State Transfer aka REST. FWIW, Yahoo! API page links to Wikipedia [http://developer.yahoo.net/documentation/rest.html]. But, the article needs more info like images, etc. --User:Rrjanbiah 07:01, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*Theater of the United States - It's just sad. It was only had two bullet points until I came across it. I've expanded it a bit, but I'm no theater geek. User:Mulad —User:Mulad User talk:Mulad 23:50, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)
* The Pipil are a group of ancient and modern people living in El Salvador. The originating information for this article seems to come from the cited internet source, but was apparantly poorly translated and made little sense. Although I have gathered a little more information, a good translation of the original university file would be very helpful. Spanish speaker/readers, please take a look. Thanks. User:WBardwin 04:02, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

*Constitutional convention - The American section could use expansion. Most of the information currently there is about the English Constitutional Convention.
*from scratch - From 0. But lot of people don't know the meaning.
**I think this one is better off in the Wiktionary than the encyclopedia. --User:Jb-adder | User talk:Jb-adder 04:43, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
*Iraqi Insurgency - Should link to IED and RPG and Roadside Bomb
*Roadside Bomb - Should link to IED
*IED - Improvised Explosive Device - Should describe the typical devices used in Iraq, and countermeasures (jamming).

*Denison University - Could do with a lot of expansion.
*Societal attitudes towards homosexuality - Needs opinion stats, general expansion in several sections. See talk page.

*horse-hoarse merger - Could do with a lot of expansion.
*whine-wine merger - Could do with a lot of expansion.
*Doxylamine - Should be updated to Wikipedia standards by someone with pharmaceutical expertise. I started the article because it's the antihistamine in NyQuil, but I can't even find a chemical formula for it.
* International Resources Group - a look at their home page suggests that they're the Halliburton you never heard of. What's their history? What US operations have they overseen?
* firebrick - Could do with a lot of expansion. I've only found some references to it in other places.
* Dual-tone multi-frequency - Very technical & strong article, but would benefit greatly from someone placing some kind of table relating tones to musical notation - someone's also requested this in the discussion page.
* Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Federation - Largest Anarchism organisation in Africa, i have received a blanken permission from them to use any text/images from [http://www.zabalaza.net/ their website]. However, there must be more to them.
*AASHTO - I have a feeling this article has great potential, because this is a big organization with a lot of influence. I've requested more information from AASHTO, but their website already has a great deal of useful info we can incorporate. Some users were trying to move it to Wiktionary because of its stubbiness, and I'd like to avert this. User:Dcoetzee 18:49, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

* father-bother merger - Could do with some expansion.
* Sirius-serious merger - Needs a bit of expansion. Needs a bit more further explanation.
*British literature - I've added skimpy coverage of the previously blank periods, but more depth and coherence is needed in all of the English language sections, and more coherence and less depth in the non-English language sections. User:Pcpcpc 22:57, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
*A Tale of Two Turtles - Insignificant documentary someone decided to write an article on. It basically just lists the names of people involved in it. If people have nothing to say about a subject why do they need to write articles on them? Needs to say ''something'' about the film. I assume it's about turtles, but can't find any real info. -User:R. fiend 18:21, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
*Warsaw Pact - Lack information on Pact's formation, other. User:119 04:49, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

*Duncan Ball - an Australian author, the article is beyond a stub but needs quite a bit of expansion-perhaps a bit of background on each book

*''The Rules of the Game'' - regularly cited as one of the greatest films of all time, yet only a brief, uninformative srub.

*Theological fatalism — The length and depth of the [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/free-will-foreknowledge/ Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article on this subject] indicates that there's a ''lot'' more for an encyclopaedia to say about it. I leave it in the hands of the specialists. (Just don't go copying Stanford, all right? ☺) User:Uncle G 16:44, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)

*Mauritania - The world's 28th largest nation and we've only got one paragraph of information here. It wouldn't be too much work for someone to summarize the various main articles in each subsection, and it could be fleshed out from there. — User:Livajo | User talk:Livajo 03:29, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
*Raven (comics) - This article is about the superhero Raven from the Teen Titans. It referres mainly to a psychological (!!)description of the animated series' Raven and it has almost nothing about the comic books. --User:Imaglang 19:17, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*Wine Gum - I can't belive someone hasn't written an article on this yet. I have started one, but I don't know anything about wine gums. --User:64.10.150.194 03:04, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) (aka User:Munchkinguy)

* Montessori Method may not have a neutral POV. It does not include criticism of the method or a critical comparison with alternative educational philosophies. It also lacks research-based outcomes. Most websites speak of Montessori in glowing terms, so some effort may be required to balance this article. --User:Westendgirl 06:27, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
*List of reversed death sentences has only three people listed. There has to be more than that. User:Evil Monkey → User talk:Evil Monkey 05:20, Jan 26, 2005 (UTC)
*Frank Frazetta - artist is extremely influential in fantasy/sci fi, yet has minimal content, no photos, not even a portrait of the artist.

*Winter of discontent should explain who went on strike, that there was rubbish in the streets and Rolling blackouts. User:Edward 13:55, 2005 Jan 20 (UTC)
*Alford, Lincolnshire is very short.
*Martin Luther King Day, understand the Holiday and celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr is coming up, thus it seems very relevant to update and improve on this article... it is too short and has no photos.
*Absorption (chemistry) should be at least as long as adsorption, and it should contain similar information about equilibriums in solutions (and the relevant formulas or links there), and so on. See also absorption.
*British literature This article needs lots of work. Also valuable though the minor literatures of the UK are, this general article should focus mainly on the English language mainstream. User:Pcpcpc 00:40, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

*Here I've thought long and hard about where this should go (attention? cleanup?), but I've finally settled on expansion. As a concept, it seems that more can be said about it, especially in the philosophy department. This is actually a very tricky subject, because it's a cross-section of many things, and it's hard to get encyclopedic. (It's not an WP:UA for nothing.) It needs more eyeballs. No matter what your area of expertise is, you surely have thoughts on here. Contribute those, if nothing else. :-) User:JRM 23:44, 2005 Jan 3 (UTC)
*Longitudinal wave I believe it could use information about usage in applied physics, how to model them, picture, etc. I personally don't know much about them (hence this request), so I wouldn't know what needs to be done. -- User:MIT Trekkie 17:33, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)
