Almost every article in Wikipedia could do with some expansion - the aim of Wikipedia is to have every article at featured status. This page is for listing those articles of any length for which there is a specific request or longer (non-stub) articles which are still embarrassingly short or insufficient for an encyclopedia of the stature to which Wikipedia aspires.

Articles to list here:

  • Stubs - Articles that are very short. These should be tagged with {{stub}}, or a topic-specific stub tag. Since stubs by definition are tagged as being too short for their subject, the use of the {{expand}} tag on stubs should always be accompanied by a detailed explanation of what needs to be done.
  • Longer articles that still need expansion. Be sure to tag these {{expand}} when you nominate them.
  • Sections in particular need of expansion within an article may be tagged with {{expandsection}} or {{Sectstub}}.

Articles not to list here:

Contents

[edit] Cleanup needed

Please help remove listings which have already been expanded. To determine this, you can check the article's history tab. Compare the length of the article from when the request was posted here to its current length. If there was a request for expansion of a particular point, see if this was done.

Articles that have been expanded should have the {{expand}} tag removed from the talk page.

In order to prevent this page from getting too long, requests older than six months should be removed from this page entirely. When doing so, please move the comment accompanying the request from this page to the article's talk page, and make sure it is tagged {{expand}}. This ensures that the article will continue to be featured on the opentask list and Category:Articles to be expanded until it is eventually expanded.

[edit] Urgent

For the most urgently needed article expansions, it may make sense in addition to listing the article here to find the project page of an appropriate Wikipedia:WikiProject or ask for help from a particular editor who has made contributions in that field before.

[edit] 2008

Please place new requests at the top of the appropriate list and make the article link bold. Please remember to sign with four tildes (~~~~).

[edit] September

The page about prehistoric artshould be expanded for studies. The page about neurology should be expanded.

  1. Every one of their concerts are reviewed (not just mentioned, but actually given a detailed review) in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a notable and reliable newspaper.
  2. Has released several albums on a major (Regent Records (UK)) label

It could be argued that it "has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city", although I'll grant that's up for debate. Additionally, it performs original works (i.e., commissions) by very notable composers, Ned Rorem among them. In addition to the reviews in the Post-Dispatch, there have also been feature articles about the group, as well as programs featuring their music on KFUO-FM (which is not a "national" radio station, I guess, but still a prominent local one). I can probably provide sources to back up the claims of notability and whatnot, but they should be easily locatable on http://www.stltoday.com (the Post-Dispatch's website), as well as other stuff one might find on Google. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you feel like taking up this task and would like my assistance. Thanks in advance! Dgcopter (talk) 03:01, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Bowing - Needs information about the Oriental (Persian?) practice of touching the forehead, and flourishing the hand in a circular motion away from the body while bowing at the waist. I would especially like to know if there is a word for that peculiar hand gesture. When and where used, and by whom? I know I must have seen it a Hollywood movie a hundred times.
  • 2008 European Grand Prix - No Race report as traditional. Raymond "Giggs" Ko 04:53, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] July

Has been expanded. Cliff smith (talk) 18:01, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I have expanded it myself--EZ1234 (talk) 08:56, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • New York State Board of Elections -- this article should deal with New York State Board of Elections. There already exists an article dealing with the New York City Board of Elections (a different board), with the ambiguous title " New York Board of Elections ". 96.234.41.192 (talk)
  • Anton Abele Needs some images and more information about his work. !
  • Eurosport Please add in the 3rd channel Asia-Pacific to ALL Eurosport pages As that what I have and is what is carried on SelecTV in Australia as it has a entirely different channel guide from the other Eurosport channels.
  • Chionoecetes Any information on Opilio or Snow Crabs. Jemusser (talk) 01:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Rodkleiva AlwaysOnion (talk) 12:49, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Western Lowland Gorilla This articles does not talk about the animal enough.
  • TiVo#In popular culture Article doesn't talk at all about the modern cultural impact of the device, the expression "to tivo", and many instances and references to it in the media. --Kreachure (talk) 15:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Toads Article is very short and mostly composed of a list of toads. Some information on characteristics common to toads from someone who knows about them is needed. Tonyf12 (talk) 14:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Electronic tuner Needs people who know about the electronics of a tuner to explain how a regular tuner senses a note. Needs music experts to expand the areas about note frequency and intonation. Black Stripe (talk) 09:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Total Politics Lots of sources for this (i'll put them on the talk page) but the article is poor and needs rewriting. --neon white talk 21:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Robert Nivelle This article is on GA hold, as it requires expansion. I don't have the resources by which to do that, so please could someone enlarge the scope of the article. Thanks in advance. More details can be found at Talk:Robert Nivelle. EasyPeasy21 (talk) 14:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Hanafuda The article needs content in its rules section or a how to play section. References also need work. Lando242 (talk) 18:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Economic crisis of 2008 A major article with little content. NJGW (talk) 01:28, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
  • New York State Legislature Elections, 2008 This will be one of the most closely watched elections in the fall. It need info on the incumbents and their challengers including those in the primary. It was started as a stub and does contain some background info. In all it should look very similar to the articles Pennsylvania House of Representatives elections, 2008 and Pennsylvania Senate elections, 2008. -- Bentley4 (Bentley4) July 13 2008 (UTC)
  • Frontal lobe disorder - I started this as a stub (before this, it was a redirect to psychopathy!), and I have writtens some general content on frontal lobe functions and clinical assessment. I intend to write more on frontal lobe impairment in psychiatric disorders, but it would be good if a neurologist or neuropsychologist could write something on the degenerative / cerebrovascular / traumatic aspects. --Anonymaus (talk) 04:31, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Mathematical economics - I have expanded this article considerably, but it is sorely in need of a strong look by an outside figure. Since ~May I've been the (basically) only editor to work on it and I feel it needs many more eyes than mine to get close to GA status. Specifically the history and current status/usage (of the term) could be improved, as well as specific applications (or that section could be changed). Thanks. Protonk (talk) 19:43, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Graham Massey - I have added a whole bunch to it; it was only recently created but he is a well respected figure in the electronic music sphere and he certainly deserves a comprehensive article. ΤΕΡΡΑΣΙΔΙΩΣ(Ταλκ) 17:31, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] June

[edit] May

  • Jintang Island" : Needs further expansion on history and geography of the island.Mineowyn (talk) 06:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Virtual Boy#Marketing: There was a piece of information previously listed as trivia, and has since been removed. I relisted it under a new section, hoping to expand on how it was marketed, but I am not sure how much information is available. Socby19 (talk) 05:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merseyway Shopping Centre#History: This history section needs expanding however it is difficult to find verifiable sources on the subject, --James50567 (talk) 22:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Roy Spencer (actor): IMDB shows reasonale notability; article requires further details to establish this. --  Chzz  ►  21:56, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Polydactyly: It is commonly believed that Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII, had this disorder. She should be added to the list of known polydactyls.
  • Indiana Jones: The section on "Life" contains only information from (presumably) the novels and the television series and contains no information from any of the four actual films. This is a glaring oversight that I feel needs to be corrected, but I'm not a big enough Indiana Jones fan to do it myself. Will someone with more knowledge about the franchise please expand the section? Thanks. --Antodav2007 (talk) 08:35, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Moral Midgetry: The link for Melvin Williams, who plays the Deacon on The Wire (TV series), points to the wrong person. The Melvin Williams who plays the Deacon in the Wire is not an Vice Admiral in the Navy. He's actually a real life notorious gangster, aka Little Melvin, whose story is the basis for many of the characters and scenes in the Wire. I'm surprised there's no page for him. Here is just one story from 2003 about when he was released from prison.
  • Patti Smith: ==History== section needs expansion (see talk page). --Vlad (talk) 21:59, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Dolphin Cove: i think this article is a lil' short and needs major expansion and improvement. As I'm not familiar with this movie (or movies at all...) i suggest someone with knowledge about this topic expands and improves it. regards SomeUsr |  Talk Contribs 17:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

  • It's Such a Small World: Song article is too short, needs information behind the duet and the music video. --Caldorwards4 (talk) 21:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
  • All I Ever Wanted: This article is way too short, and needs a whole lot of expansion. I couldn't find the meaning of the song anywhere. --Martin4647 (talk) 01:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Anomerization:This page is just one sentence long. It needs a lot of expansion. Razorflame 15:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Afro-Asians: Afro-Asians, or Blasians as some would call them, have become an increasing group in the U.S. and other continents. There's a lot of information that needs to be researched about indigenous Afro-Asians, such as the Negritos. This page needs a thorough look at its history and present population. Americanbeauty415 (talk) 04:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
  • The People of Paradise The People of Paradise is a 1960 BBC series of six documentaries produced and narrated by David Attenborough. It has episode titles but requires further detail from a resourceful contributor. Theo Pardilla 15:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Right-wing politics: Needs to be as long as the Left-wing politics article. Bobisbob (talk) 02:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Please expand the following songs by Brooks & Dunn:

Each article is way too short and I need your help. Thanks! --Martin4647 (talk) 14:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Knock-in: Another genetic/molecular biology technique stub that needs desperate expansion. It's rated as mid importance in various Wikiprojects. It's also orphaned. Wisdom89 (T / C) 07:20, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • DNA binding protein: Molecular biology stub that requires expansion. Needs sourcing primarily. It is in the scope of the Biology and molecular biology Wikiprojects. Wisdom89 (T / C) 07:19, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Cameco: The History and Overview sections could use expansion. --cmelbye (t/c) 16:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • World of Kung Fu: Needs expansion. Players only please. Check talk page for what to provide Thanks, Vinson (talk) 03:00, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Domestic pig: For an article about a widespread domesticated animal, the article is pretty short. Needs to be like cattle, horse, or sheep. Bobisbob (talk) 17:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Aztec calendar : The main article needs to be expanded/revised to be brought up to date and corrected. There is new information that resolves significant confusion. (BTW: The Native New Year is in March, corresponding with Spring equinox. It has nothing to do with the heliacal rising of the Pleiades.) - Grae Bear (talk) 07:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Psycho Teddy : Song information is currently short, and could use someone with more knowledge on both the character and song to update it. The song has a Music Video, so a section dedicated to this would help improve the article appearance. --Timfoxxy_236 (talk) 14:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • What About Now : Article is way too short. --Martin4647 (talk) 14:56, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Akasen : The district which was similar to the red-light district in Japan. Please do proof-read. -Eurodollers (talk) 05:28, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Bagatelles, Opus 119 (Beethoven): There is absolutely no written material on these pieces in this article—only titles or tempo indications for individual pieces in the set.

Jonyungk (talk) 02:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Battle of Zeeland:Battle during WWII, detailed links at the bottom.Expansion needed. (Red4tribe (talk) 01:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC))
  • Golf club (institution): the association, not the stick. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
  • lawmaking process- couldn't find any information with that title, not at all. 3:34 pm, 19 April
  • Badaber Uprising - As noted on the talk page, the article needs more references in English and needs to be rewritten not only from the perspective of the captives, but also from the perspective of their guards. --Fastboy (talk) 16:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  • openDemocracy - A website featuring varied and diverse political commentary from all corners of the world -- more information, detail, and sections are needed for this article, whch is basically a stub. 96.234.41.192 (talk) 06:04, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
  • You're Beginning to Get to Me - Expand content and of course music/structure. Martin4647 (talk) 21:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • The Chain of Love - Expand music video and music/structure info. I don't know a thing about music, except that the song was composed in D major. So, I need your help. Martin4647 (talk) 21:03, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Logic in China In need of anyone who has knowledge of the History of Philosophical and/or Mathematical Logic in China. A contribution here would be significant, given the importance of Logic in recent years. Its in need to expansion, so add any facts possible, can be cleaned up later. --Daniel jones (talk) 07:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Participation criterion The "short sections" literally have nothing in them. 69.226.16.188 (talk) 21:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Miniaturization - An important subject matter regarding technology such as this one needs to be expanded. The article is currently a weak stub. A history behind miniaturization and the processes which drive miniaturization should be included in the article. WinterSpw (talk) 04:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Piety - Since Wikipedia is not a dictionary, this article needs to be expanded to avoid being deleted. There is a lot of history surrounding this concept, so I don't think deletion is appropriate. 65.100.150.217 (talk) 21:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Chemical Polarity This page is concise to a fault. Someone, anyone, add something to this! Lelandrb (talk) 19:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Colombia Trade Promotion Agreement, it will likely be talked about a lot on the news for weeks to come. Peru-United States Free Trade Agreement can be used as a template. Colombiano21 (talk) 14:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  • 1960s in fashion and maybe the 1970s and 1980s ones as well. All the earlier ones have great info and tons of pictures
  • Megalodon (film) Much more info is needed under Characters , Production, release, and any other important info that is missing. The Plot could use more info and a re-write ( I wrote all that is there). This si a brand new article so it is lacking in general info. - Prede (talk) 07:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Columbia University Science Honors Program Much more info is needed on what topics are covered in the program, what classes in the program are like, and more info on the admissions process. 96.234.41.192 (talk) 04:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Maze (anime) Much more information is needed for the plot part. Also they should be sourced sense we don't have any sources in the plot section yet. - Prede (talk) 21:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March

  • Ross (1905-1909)- Article is only one line and two sentences, lifted from a dab page. Trekphiler (talk) 05:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Ross (1915-1918)- Article is only one line and two sentences, lifted from a dab page. Trekphiler (talk) 05:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Dermoplast - Article is only one line and two sentences (not counting stub templates, etc.) FLaRN(talk) 22:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
  • D'Sound - Band history section needs coverage from 2006 on. Fexxa (talk) 00:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Old Yeller - Classic film that needs information on production, box office, critical response and movie status. Bobisbob (talk) 01:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February

  • Jeep- The "Off-road abilities" section needs to be expanded, as off-road ability is what the brand is known for. Jeep-specific features are encouraged, even on older models. Plasticboob (talk) 00:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
  • 80th Academy Awards- The voting trends section is too short. It lacks the analysis of the field of nominees about box office performance, information about nominees, etc. A good example on how to write for this section is the 78th Academy Awards Voting Trends and reaction section. Birdienest81 (talk) 11:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Billy Ray Cyrus - Cyrus' awards section should include every award, nominations and wins. Some I've took care of, but not all of them are present at this time. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 15:54, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Maoricrater explorata - This article is very short in general, I refrain from stubbing the article because I think that there's more info on it than just basic information gleened from a single book. Maybe the gang from WikiProject Gastropods could do some expansion work? Walksonwalls (talk) 00:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Basketball position - Basketball position names were originally based on defensive, not offensive, positions: Guards were named, because on defense, they were closest to the basket. They "guarded" the basket. Forwards were named because they were the "forward" defenders. Centers occupied the same positions whether on defense or offense. That configuration holds, now, on offense. On defense, however, the guards may now be in the former forward position, and the forwards in the former guard position. Basketball strategy has evolved, yet positions retain their original names, however meaningless those names now are.
  • Petroglyph Games - The article is too short to be able to describe the video game company fully. --Darth Narutorious (talk) 07:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Stephano(Shakespeare) - This article has very short Performance History and Origin sections.
  • Frost line - This article has start to a list of example frost lines but only one example. More are needed from a contrasting variety of world locations. Article could also use a more in-depth explaination of the phenomenon and perhaps more explaination of its implications for building engineering (as article is tagged as part of WikiProject:Civil engineering) 198.175.55.5 (talk) 19:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • GIMP - Please improve the release history table or spin the history off to a new page if it gets too long, similar to that of Firefox. cheers-to-all (talk) 10:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • GTK+ - Please improve the release history table or spin the history off to a new page if it gets too long, similar to that of Firefox. cheers-to-all (talk) 10:26, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Geoff Travis - Influential record company/store boss. Needs considerable expansion! Plenty of interviews available on reputable sites but the vast majority are about bands or musical trends rather than the man himself. Cavie78 (talk) 15:03, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • City Year - This very successful non profit organization needs a better wikipedia page that what it has. Been trying to expand this page. needs more meat. i have started elaborating on what the organization does. i haven't touched culture. i can get pictures later. Oldag07 (talk) 03:59, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
  • That's Just the Way We Roll - This page pretty much meets criteria for deletion there's so little on it. Anybody who knows about the Jonas Brothers, Radio Disney etc or who wants to learn should add. MrMelonhead (talk) 04:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Back to You - Expansion of the section "International Broadcasters" is required. -- Guest User, 16:10, 3 February 2008 (AEDST)
  • List of aquifers - specifically the North American aquifer list needs to be expanded the ones listed cover a handful of states so there must be more. Crushacm (talk) 01:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] January

  • Okinawan family name - Please review and check grammer. --Eurodollers (talk) 12:29, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Garrick Club - Apparently, the Garrick Club in London, England is a highly noted and famous gent's club. I originally nominated the article for deletion because – if you read it with no prior knowledge of the subject – it looks very un-notable... almost like it was written by a businessowner that wanted to put himself in Wikipedia. My AfD request met fierce opposition, though. Total rewrite is requested, or at least some major, major editing. The article lists the club's website as the only source, it is written in British slang, and says nothing of what is supposedly an illustrious history filled with famous members. Timdlocklear (talk) 00:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • List of Barrow built ships - Notable Launchers - The section 'Notables to Launch Vessles' needs expanding as it only lists four people, many many more ships and submarines have been launched in the town, with a lot of these being by famous people. If anyone knows any more people who have launched ships in the town (from royal family to whatever), please feel free to edit - Stevvvv4444 (Talk) 19:18, 40 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907) - Needs a list of signatories, heads of state and plenipotentiaries, not to mention some historical context and commentary about its breaches. - OwenBlacker (Talk) 01:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Country Weekly - The biggest country music magazine out there. This mag's been around nearly a decade and a half, I'm sure there's more to say about it than just what's in this two paragraph stub. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 19:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Anti-discrimination law - This should be a good overview article with links to individual countries/types, but it's currently a stub with a few random links. --Alynna (talk) 16:41, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Willie Fung - Chinese actor. Very short one-sentence article, would benefit from additional information about biography, filmography, etc. Truthanado (talk) 02:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Nada the Lily - (Novel by H. Rider Haggard) I just created this page and it is still a stub. Needs expansion by s/o with an in-depth knowledge of the book. Applebizzy (talk) 19:34, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Topi - Make this one more like the Greater Kudo article. Bobisbob (talk) 00:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly#Music video - I don't know how to put a long summary into words, but I know where the video took place. But I need to put more than just: "The music video for this song features Aaron singing in an American flag background." --Martin4647 (talk) 22:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Arabian Oryx - If the Greater Kudu and the Bongo get good sized articles them so should this animal. More information on social behavior would be nice. Bobisbob (talk) 00:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Impala - Needs more detailed info on social structure Bobisbob (talk) 00:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Doug Supernaw - I just rewrote the article from scratch, and took care of some passages which once had {{fact}} tags, but I've barely begun to scratch the surface here. The article could use some more information on his musical career, as well as on his long string of personal arrests. Although I'm usually pretty good at rewriting country music articles by myself, I think this is a tricky one that could use a few extra sets of hands. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
  • History of the Jews in Europe - Shockingingly inadequate article; currently only a list of links to individual countries' articles on Jewish history. Europe taken as a whole has a vast and rich Jewish history, not to mention the holocaust. We must do better here. Grunners (talk) 19:05, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Sino-Japanese Journalist Exchange Agreement - Needs review, correction and expansion.--Eurodollers (talk) 01:40, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

  • black caiman - There really is not much in EVERY section of it. Footballfan190 (talk) 06:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Irena Górska-Damięcka - Quite new, only created (by me) following her death. Only the biography section needs to be expanded. Which should take up most of the article. :) Editorofthewiki (talk) 19:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
