Swami Vivekananda

(Biography) This month is this person's 150th birth anniversary which is being celebrated worldwide. Some close paraphrasing issue was mentioned in the FA review which has been attempted to fix, Can we please include this article in this month's TAFI?

  1. Sorry, but unfortunately that article is wayyyyyyy too developed for it to be any use to this project. This is more for stub/start-class articles on relatively important topics, to allow for easy editing. It's easier to add a couple of paragraphs here, a couple of quotes there etc., rather than copyediting an entire article. It's a brilliant article though. I wish you all the best with your FA endevours :D.--Coin945 (talk) 18:30, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    If you want I can delete few paragraphs, add some dead links, dablinks and make it a C class article and after TAFI's edit, I'll re-add those paragraphs, will it be okay?
    Anywa, jokes apart, the only thing I am requesting is just read paragraphs and make "wording" and "prose" related changes. That's all. --Tito Dutta (talk) 18:40, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Please understand that I meant no offense. I know that's all you were asking for, but I was just letting you know that this is not the best forum to seek help on nearly-completed articles. That's not to say that the article is not worth working on - not at all - but it will not make a good TAFI article. I'm afraid to say that it will almost certainly be opposed because it goes against the TAFI critera for nominated articles.. i was just letting you be prepared of what you may have to face. :)--Coin945 (talk) 18:51, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maldives

(Geography) This article, although long, is not very well organized. Unlike other country articles, this article does not cover all the topics which need to be covered in a country article and some sections are longer than they need to be and some sections are very short.

  1. Weakly per the comment below. It's nearly 9,000 words, and TAFI seems more along the lines of getting the information in rather than cleaning and tweaking it. Wizardman 23:33, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I like the concept, but I'm not sure about selecting a C class article. C is probably the upper ceiling of TAFI. --NickPenguin(contribs) 16:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'd have to agree. That article seems relatively developed, and we'd be approaching "copyediting rather than strictly adding text" territory.--Coin945 (talk) 12:13, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mud

(Science) Not even sure if it's notable.... but if it is, this start article (with a "Well-known idioms" section, and sentences like "Children like to make mud pies as well as throw mud at each other and play barefoot in mud" and "Mud and dirt can be consumed accidentally during sports and other outdoor activities [leading to] dysphemisms for poor-tasting food such as 'tastes like dirt'") could use a whole lot of lovin'.Coin945 (talk) 17:46, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  3. Needs more citations, certainly. A few unsourced and rather silly statements (possibly by inexperienced editors making their very first attempts) do not, I believe, serve to make the article's subject matter any less noteworthy, though they may (on balance) serve to obscure actual notability by giving undue weight to relatively trivial aspects of notable topics, the entries for which may languish stubbily for years, remaining quite severely underdeveloped in comparison to their actual potential. Lots of unrealized potentials for collaborative development into a truly great encyclopedia entry here. ༺།།ༀ་ཨཱཿ་ཧཱུྃ།།འཚེར།།xeltifon།།སར་ཝ་མང་ག་ལམ།།༻  {say it}  {contribs} 08:21, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weighing up quality of current article vs. popularity of film, this 1961 Disney effort seems like one of the better candidates from their catalogue. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Disney/to do/Disney films foe a table that I put together, showing large content holes in many hugely successful films that I'm sure many of our readers are passionate about. Pocahontas (1995 film) and Tarzan (1999 film) are also good candidates.Coin945 (talk) 13:17, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 (History) This is probably the most extreme under-description I've encountered in a long while: the entire concept of the past is covered by two short paragraphs, one of them basically a list! This article would be stubby even if the subject matter was narrow, but given how broad the topic is, it's almost comical. The scope is daunting, but I think future, while far from perfect, is a good model for what sort of thing to include. ∴ ZX95 [discuss] 07:19, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Zeus Coin945 (talk) 19:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply] (History) May look developed, but when you look closer, this C-class article about such an iconic deity really doesn't have that much to it. A bit about his name, some stuff about his birth, infancy, kingship, relationship with Hera (some parts very listy), then a massive list full of offspring, then a trivia-type list of epiphats, then some undersourced (probably overrepresented) information about cults of Zeus, a bit about his relationship to similar gods in other cultures and Zeus in philosophy, then a few cultural reference/trivia sections, and finally saome geneology trees. We could compare this to, say, Apollo to get some ideas. Strip away this article to ots core by removing all the fluff, and I think you will find a very bare article.

 (Society) Although this is about a 1974 paper, it remains an important article in philosophy, about a fascinating subject -- consciousness, what it is, and whether we can ever understand it. Yet it is just a stub. Featuring it might attract some subject-matter specialists. SlimVirgin (talk) 19:12, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
