CZ:Proposals/Ad hoc

These are proposals that are being managed on an ad hoc basis by selected individuals.

Simplify Core Articles Initiative

Summary: The Core Articles initiative has not exactly been a screaming success; it is not achieving its primary aim of getting articles started about the most important 4,000 topics in our ~40 workgroup areas. Therefore, I propose that it be greatly simplified--even "stripped down"--in a way designed to motivate people to contribute to the effort.

Unified Feature-Rich Workgroup page design template

Summary: Many workgroups are highly developed; some are marginally developed, and others are not developed. It could be beneficial to have a single flexible template that would be easy to implement for all workgroup home pages.

Naming Conventions for Biographies

Summary: to adopt conventions for the naming of articles about people, living and dead. The basic principle proposed is: In general, an article about a person ought to live at the name at which the person is best-known to educated English-speaking people, with redirects from all common alternates. Significant levels of detail are offered. Original proposer: Anthony Argyriou 14:31, 14 February 2008 (CST) Next step: Prepare final versions of the two variant proposals; put up to a vote. Driver: Anthony Argyriou To be done by: 24 March 2008 Notes: originally proposed at CZ Talk:Naming Conventions#Names of articles about people, with no response.
