Wikipedia talk:Requested articles/Archive-subpages

message: Please see the above conversation regarding how to name the categories on this metapage. It is very important to keep the alphabetization true, and to have it align left. I am making some slight adjustments today to put the alphabetization back to the way it was before. Kingturtle 20:13, 17 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: A good number of requests under the Geography do not have to do with geography, per se. Geography implies physical features (rivers, cities). As I recall, before I created the Geography subpage, these were listed as Countries, Afghanistan rather than Geography, Afghanistan. I suggest we change it to Countries, (name of country). Kingturtle 21:34, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should change Geography/Country Specific to Countries and then have the subheadings read Countries, Afghanistan, Countries, Canada etc etc. Kingturtle 22:26, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: I removed the internal links of inclusion lists because they cause the user to think the link will take them to requested articles. The only active links on this page should be links that take the user to lists of requests, or other pages that involve requests. Kingturtle 00:01, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  internal links of inclusion lists 

message: Why are none of the subtopics of the subpages linked except for the ones under "Subdivisions" and "Other classification schemes" which are linked to articles, not the sub catagories that I assume they should be.  I would just fix it, but its been that way for so long, I think there must be _some_ reason.  If I don't get any response in a few days, I'll just link all the subtopics to their sections on their subpages, including those one "Subdivisions" and "Other classification schemes".  I hope I get an answer...  JesseW 09:51, 21 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I have just added a section called "in-tray for requests" to the top of the requests page.  I did this in response to a contributor who complained that the requests page was too complicated, and that it deterred people from making requests. (I assume that this isn't our intention!)  My goal was to make the process easier for newbies.  I thought it would be easier to make the change and then discuss it, rather than the other way around - such is the immediacy of Wikipedia :-) --Heron 12:23, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  In-tray 

message: I've noticed that several subjects are covered by several categories, for example Military requests can be posted in either Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Social_Sciences_and_Philosophy#Military_.2F_War_.2F_Peace or Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences#Military. It seems that Applied arts and Social sciences especially seem to overlap, especially in areas of politics. Obviously such subjects need putting in either category, but clarification needed urgently. Just wondered where others stand on this? (Don't know how many areas this affects. Perhaps something as radical as a complete redraw of request categories is required?).

replies: text: I think we can just semi-arbitrarily pick one of the overlapping categories and move the items, then leave a soft-redirect(i.e. a note and link) in the unused category.  I've done this with a few of them. JesseW 04:53, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I had some time on my hands, and noticed the very big list of uncategorized requests. I categorized them all and cleaned some blue links out of the categorized requests. Luigi30 03:44, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: The category list seems somewhat limited; I'm trying to put a request for a physics/astronomy-related topic (warm-hot intergalactic medium), but I cannot seem to find a spot for that; there's certainly nothing under Applied Arts and Sciences... Radagast 17:19, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
:I had to reinstate Natural Sciences and Culture and Fine Arts today after a couple of days of being missing. I have just now come to find that there has been a single edit since my reinstatement - an edit involving the removal of Natural Sciences. These are coming from different IP addresses and aren't simply removed, but are replaced with text in the form of a vague request. --Oldak Quill 22:02, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
