[edit] Pleasure

We have a massive and detailed article on pain, but next to nothing about pleasure. Although pleasure is a crucial concept in psychology, philosophy and neuroscience, there's little but a stub. This needs fixing, though at the same time it makes sense. John J. Pershing at one point said "It is not pleasure but pain that a man must remember in battle." For some pleasure has become tied in the feeling of pain so that hurting themselves might bring them joy.

It's still a separate emotion/sensation on its own - it doesn't have to be linked to pain, and isn't linked to it for many people. I agree a longer article would be appropriate (otherwise, pain is privileged.)Sinderbloog (talk) 16:00, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popular Mechanics

Expand. This article should be much more detailed considering it is a major technology magazine in the U.S. Compare with the article on Wired.

[edit] Metal

Basic article, needs sources.

I'm working on it right now, looks like I'm going to just rewrite it from scratch. Ziggy Sawdust 13:35, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dasain

Make sure that Dasain is properly categorized.

[edit] Rachel Marsden

Find reliable sources that provide a neutral view of the subject's accomplishments or reception as a political commentator, all while respecting some heavy-duty WP:BLP restrictions.

[edit] Meaning of life

Well expanded, but a complete mess in writing, sources, and just about everything.

[edit] Luna Bowl

Current article is a redirect to Luna Park, Cleveland (which itself could use a bit of expansion, a challenge in itself as the amusement park existed only from 1906 to 1929). The stadium framed by one or two roller coasters was an early multipurpose facility that hosted the Cleveland Panthers AFL team in 1926, a number of Negro League baseball teams, and the Cleveland Soccer Football Club. Details and reliable sources are hard to come by, but finding them would help flesh out an article on a key site of American sports and amusement history.
