Articles for improvement

Automation & templates

Archives

This page is for nominating articles to be listed as articles for improvement, from which the weekly collaborations are pulled. Any article or list on Wikipedia can be nominated, although articles that do not meet the suggested criteria are unlikely to gain consensus.

Instructions

Suggested criteria

Though there are no firm criteria, in general, ideal AFI articles are:

Highly important topics. Anything that has top or high importance to a WikiProject is likely highly important.
Interesting to the general public. This can be evidenced by page views. Nominations with less than 200 views per day rarely succeed.
Needing of improvement, with expansion opportunity. Stubs; start-class, and short C-class articles are the most ideal for improvement. Give due consideration before nominating higher-quality articles.
Not targets of controversy. Keep in mind that controversial articles (articles that are the subject of heated discussion, edit warring, or questioned notability) can be very difficult to improve within a week.

Review process

Any user may vote on the suitability of nominations to be listed at AFI.
Please use the code #'''Support''' or #'''Oppose''', add your reasoning, and sign with ~~~~. You may also add comments. Improperly formatted votes may be missed by the bot.
MusikBot will mark nominations with at least 3 net support votes (3 more support votes than oppose votes) as approved and those with at least 3 net oppose votes as unapproved. The bot will automatically list successful nominations and archive all closed nominations.
Registered members of the project may choose to override the bot at their discretion in instances where straight vote totals do not appear to reflect community consensus.

Nominating an article

Check that the article you want to nominate isn't already listed.

Post the nomination at the top of the list in the appropriate category, using this code:

===(Article title)===
{{AFI nom|article=(Article title)|class=unknown|hits=(Number of daily hits)}}
*(Nomination text) ~~~~

Fill out the parts in parentheses. You can find an article's class on its talk page and its approximate daily hits using this tool.
Please do not support your own nominations.

Dinghy

Dinghy – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 196 daily hits

this is an important article (it is a common small boat) that needs expansion and more citations. SVcode(Talk) 21:33, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hammer

Hammer – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 391 daily hits

While this level 4 article has undergone improvement before, I feel it is still not particularly organised, has a casual tone, and lacks citations across the article, especially in the physics section. Simsarmy (talk) 20:43, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oogenesis

Oogenesis – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 204 daily hits

This article is vital to an understanding of egg cells. It should be more understandable. WikiBananaGGGG (talk) 06:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is barely short, 30,000 bytes and 1,853 words look plentiful. There are only 204 daily hits, which doesn't seem that much for an article like this. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 13:16, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral, this article is an vital article and needs a bit more expansion, but other than that it's fine. SVcode(Talk) 22:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link Rot

Link rot – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 243 daily hits

This topic is going to become increasingly important to our society as time goes on and the World Wide Web ages. The article is C class, which is a generous assessment, and has some maintenance tags. Lots of the lists can be converted to prose. GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 15:41, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, needs more citations and expansion. SVcode(Talk) 00:05, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support - expansion could be done.--BabbaQ (talk) 11:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, strongly. Rail topics benefit massively from systemic bias — they are the exact opposite of the area we should be focusing attention on with this project. The article isn't featured but is in perfectly decent shape. Sdkb ^talk 20:01, 31 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fire Safety

Fire safety – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 267 daily hits

Support, per above. SVcode(Talk) 21:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Artist

Artist – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 298 daily hits

This is among the worst articles I've seen for such an important and elementary topic. Extremely poorly sourced, and possible copyright violations from a dictionary. Level-4 vital article that has had templates since at least 2021. Needs sources, elaboration, and cleanup. It would take work to make this article worse then it is.

Saucer

Saucer – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 149 daily hits

Tagged for a decade. Mentions the Middle Ages, so is certainly not a recent invention. And what does it say that flying saucer (which is linked at the top) is in a better state than the common static saucer? Gaois (talk) 00:05, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, even though the article is tagged for a decade, the hits isn't high enough. SVcode(Talk) 22:20, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Articulated bus

Articulated bus – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 246 daily hits

The article is in bad shape and it has had multiple unsourced statements since 2010. It is a level-5 vital article and a top-level article in a semi-active WikiProject. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 22:59, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, only one section needs to be updated and only 4 statements are unsourced, this doesn't need much AFI help. SVcode(Talk) 20:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tinga (dish)

Tinga (dish) – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 278 daily hits

Leyte

Leyte – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 301 daily hits

A large island in the Philippines, with a population of 2.6 million people, a lot for a start article. The article seems messy, the infrastructure only has one section, and a lot of media was produced based on Leyte, but only two sentences are present. History is significant here, with Typhoon Haiyan, Battle of Leyte, and yet the History is only two paragraphs. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 13:09, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support, important article in need of multiple improvements. SVcode(Talk) 23:15, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Malé

Malé – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 857 daily hits

The most major city in the Maldives. Most parts of the article are not even cited. The texts in the article should expand and explaining more. Most days, the article has 900+ views. Further, the article should be updated. It now has very old information. MAL MALDIVE (talk) 18:52, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Malaysia

Malaysia – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 9714 daily hits

Main page for a major country with decent amount of daily hits.
Currently mostly a depository for links to subarticles, and otherwise a disproportionate focus on listing ethnic groups and nationalities.
Some important aspects are completely missing, such as Government and Politics incl. link to subarticle DracaenaGuianensis (talk) 22:18, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gaborone

Gaborone – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 443 daily hits

Note: Less than 100 is tiny for a country article. Most have like 200.

Map

Map – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 5,355 daily hits

This Level 3 vital article has been tagged for "lacks sufficient corresponding inline citations" since 2017. The page has a lot of room for elaboration, and could be cleaned up significantly.GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 07:29, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tobler's first law of geography is a widely cited and important aspect of the discipline. It is one of the foundations of spatial analysis and one of the primary results of the 21st century "Quantitative revolution".

An important concept often used in International relations, "power" of states (such as superpower, great power, middle power, and small power) is widely used in media and academia. This page is start class, despite this importance, and could use work on content and sources. Page has at least one unreferenced section.GeogSage ^{(⚔Chat?⚔)} 18:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Split of Christianity and Judaism – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 100 daily hits

Vital article. This is a rich, complicated topic—an important topic, explaining the historical emergence of Christianity as a discrete religion from a sect of Judaism. The hits are low because the article was only recently created (after having existed in a pretty poor form and later merged for a few years into another article).

Language and literature

The Road Not Taken

The Road Not Taken – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 1079 daily hits

This is arguably one of Frost's most famous poems if not of all poetry, at least in the United States, and therefore I feel like the article needs to be improved. The article has some issues currently—it is fairly short, has analysis and popular culture sections that need expanding. I feel like the article should not lean so heavily into the one interpretation of the poem as ironic, as it seems to do in the reception section; while it may be more "correct," at least by how Frost wrote it, but the popular interpretation of the poem is valid in its own right. Honestly, I feel like a lot of the content relating to how the text is misunderstood should be under the analysis section instead. FieryRaven (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
