Theatre Rational Another one of those core articles that needs some help. It is fairly open and in need of sourcing and expansion. Support Guerillero | My Talk 07:40, 6 February 2011 (UTC) Tradition was a core article, and had been selected for v. 0.5 of Wikipedia:Version 1.0. Maybe we should try to select articles that are (or should be) targets for Wikipedia:Version 1.0, as Theatre is. -- Donald Albury 14:54, 6 February 2011 (UTC) This seems like an excellent choice. Better defined than the last one, although also has more content already (a lot of which could probably be sourced pretty easily). And I agree focusing on core and/or vital articles, at least most of the time.--ragesoss (talk) 01:04, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Broad enough to benefit most from collaboration. sonia♫ 03:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Personal life Rational Since Obsessive Compulsive Disorder looks good, I figured that this would be a good ironic article to edit. Besides, it does need inline citations and could always use expansion. Support As nominator. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:44, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Oooh, I support this one too. This was what I was going to suggest myself, if there weren't any other suggestions.--ragesoss (talk) 03:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC) Second choice. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:06, 11 February 2011 (UTC) That sounds fun, I think we need to define it well though, Sadads (talk) 09:55, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

The Wainwright Building was the topic of 25 March 2011's Editing Fridays

Wainwright Building Rationale One of the first skyscrapers ever built, this building is a National Historic Landmark and is in sore need of attention; this stub is rated top-importance for WikiProject Architecture and there's a good volume of sources out there. Support /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 04:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC) I am picking this article due to its narrow scope. Our past attempts at broad articles have fallen on its face --Guerillero | My Talk 17:21, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Public policy of the United States is currently being edited by a group of students
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Public policy of the United States Rational Terribly underdeveloped and directly relevant to program (could invite professors to participate.) Support Comment Maybe we should wait until all the classes are online and the professors understand contributing a little better, Sadads (talk) 23:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC) That's true, if we can get professors and/or students to join in, it would be great. /ƒETCHCOMMS/ 04:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC) This one would be best left off a couple of weeks, I think, to get the classes involved and have a massive collaboration :) sonia♫ 03:57, 9 February 2011 (UTC) To get a ton of classes involved in a project might result in chaos if there is no plan. Maybe each class could expand a section or something but a mass rush to edit the article will kill a lot of spirits if not done properly. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 04:21, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Fall 2011

The Mexican War of Independence was the topic of October 2011's Editing Fridays
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Mexican War of Independence Rationale: severely undercovered history article with fair amount of coverage in English. Numerous scholarly discussions of it, and certainly plenty of text books Support Sadads (talk) 23:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC) Guerillero | My Talk 07:42, 6 February 2011 (UTC) Maximilianklein (talk) 00:51, 6 May 2011 (UTC) , topical if on May 5th.
