Current requests

  • Currently working on expanding Ulster Unionism some. Do I need to have the period of Unionist control of Northern Ireland mentioned in the style it is now or would that belong in a history of Northern Ireland article? Denis Cavanagh 15:00, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
I improved this a lot, and would really appreciate a review on it. Template:Chem_Infobox and Template_talk:Chem_Infobox. See Scandium for example of use. --Robert W King 14:43, 26 June 2007 (CDT)
  • Special relativity - If the article is to introduce the basic ideas and counterintuitive results in a way that minimizes a math-induced allergic reaction, I can't think of anything more to add. Nathaniel Dektor 22:55, 25 June 2007 (CDT)
  • The Sopranos - all I can think to add would be plot synopses (which I'm not necessarily in favor of) and perhaps production information, but I wouldn't want to throw in trivia. Nathaniel Dektor 13:36, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
  • John Franklin almost entirely rewritten from WP version, looking to put the final polish on this so it might be nominated for Approval. -- requested by Russell Potter 15:15, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
  • 30th Dáil - coverage of Irish politics from announcement of the last general election to yesterday's appointment of a prime minister and cabinet. What's needed to get this ready to submit for approval? Anton Sweeney 18:29, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
  • Famous tennis players - Does anyone have any suggestions for additional categories that might usefully be added to the overall template for each player? Hayford Peirce 15:53, 13 June 2007 (CDT)
  • Artificial intelligence - I see that this article has three categories listed (Computers, Robotics and Philosophy). The first two are obviously appropriate, and the this seems sensible, too, but I'm not a philosophy editor. Could we have a philsophy editor weigh in on whether philosophy should be included? Greg Woodhouse 21:26, 24 May 2007 (CDT)
  • Sailing; see talk page for those aspects of the page which need expansion due to my lack of knowledge of those aspects - requested by Andrew Fleisher 15:35, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
  • Judaism: collaboration with article(s) and help with images - requested by David Hoffman 17:46, 15 May 2007 (CDT)
  • Scotland Yard, looking for addition and improvement, and aiming to get this entry to Approved status -- requested by Russell Potter 15:28, 20 May 2007 (CDT)
  • Michael Gilbert I think I've taken this about as far as I care to. Any comments or edits? Also, I'd appreciate it greatly if someone else would put links around whatever he/she thinks is proper - I'm so shell-shocked by the over-use of links at Wikipedia that I hardly know what to do. Thanks! Hayford Peirce 19:26, 17 May 2007 (CDT)

Russell Potter 23:16, 3 June 2007 (CDT)

  • role-playing game has been expanded. Comments welcome, especially from non-gamers - does the article make sense to someone new to the term? Anton Sweeney 10:01, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
I *really* know nothing about this. I've read the first couple of paragraphs and I don't know whether this is a game that is played on a computer, a game station, on a table top (with cards and dice, say), or in "real life", with the various players maybe dressing up and moving about the house (or wherever it takes place). If I'm as clueless as this about it, there are problably others.... Hayford Peirce 14:16, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
Thanks, Hayford - appreciate the pointer and I'll address it. (And they are indeed played sitting around a table with pens, paper and dice - the other types you describe are respectively Multi-User Dungeons and MMORPGs; and live-action roleplaying games). Anton Sweeney 15:01, 30 August 2007 (CDT)
I've now moved that article to pen and paper role-playing game after feedback from Todd Coles, and hopefully addressed the issue raised by Hayford. Role-playing game is now a catalogue/disambiguation page. Anton Sweeney 08:36, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
I just looked at the new entries and they're *very* clear. Hayford Peirce 13:38, 31 August 2007 (CDT)
