Wikipedia talk:Requested articles/Archive 3

message: I don't know if anyone here has seen it, but I keep a list of all the articles I've ever requested (by date) over at User:Raul654/Requests. Since January 12, I've requested 39 articles. Exactly two were written. One was a blatant copyright violation and promptly removed. Does this page really have such slow turnover? →Raul654 19:55, Feb 13, 2004 (UTC)
:Yup, always been that way. Shouldn't be too surprising; writers are more likely to follow their own interests than somebody else's. When it comes to disentangling navy ships, I seem to have all kinds of energy, but Arabic poetry? - not so much, :-) although I'll probably read the article when it exists.

message: I'd like to add a category or heading or page for existing pages that contain many "requested" links. For example someone interested in ladybirds could add just "ladybirds". The current (unsatisfactory) way would be to add to the biology section: Seven-spotted lady beetle, Two-spotted lady beetle, Convergent lady beetle, Spotted lady beetle, Twice-stabbed lady beetle, Mexican bean beetle, etc, etc. that's kinda long and much more annoying than just ladybird.
:I'd create a wikipedia:List of articles with many unfinished links: page or heading myself but i dont know what to call it or where to put it. Pengo 11:25, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: I'd like to put up a request for fylocode, the proposed alternative for Linnaeus' system of classifying living organisms. I suppose it should be requested under biology or something similar, but I can't find it. Where would be the best place? D.D. 00:13, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what the total estimated number of Jews is????
:You'd have been better off asking in Wikipedia:Reference Desk, but Whitaker's 2002 edition gives a figure of "over 12.5 million Jews world-wide; in Great Britain and Ireland there are an estimated 285,000 adherents and about 365 synagogues". This figure appears to be a religious definition (rather than a harder-to-define ethnic one), but doesn't go into detail. Shimgray 14:21, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I'm wondering what (or who) determines the couple of requested articles that appear in the "Community portal" page. I sometimes work pick a few "red links" and create new articles. I noticed three of the requests that have shown up recently are small places in Vermont which is where I used to live. I've already done an article for "Cabot Creamery", and I'm kind of wondering if Barre Granite is enough of a topic to need an article, and Killington Peak is next. Morris 04:46, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
:It's totally based on whatever editor happens to notice that Template:Opentasks needs updating, and goes and grabs some unwritten articles from here. You'r welcome to do it yourself. Just add Template:Opentask to your watchlist, and update it when it needs it. JesseW 01:06, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
