CZ Talk:Basic Article List

Does the PL-template understand lemmas?

It gives more information than R, but lemmas are important here as well.--Howard C. Berkowitz 15:34, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I switched to {{rpl}} to have the best of both worlds. In this setup, it may make sense to also include articles that we actually do have, and the page would update itself as things proceed. --Daniel Mietchen 15:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure we need RPL on here, just R (I think we need another version of RPL that gives everything RPL has and everything R has - RPL seems to be missing a link to the Related Articles subpage). If a page exists and has a definition, it can be deleted from the list. Basically, this list isn't a comprehensive list of basic articles, it's a sort of shared to-do list of stuff that is basic enough that it needs to exist on Citizendium if we are to consider ourselves a useful lookup resource. That means the absolute basics: countries, capital cities, historical but no longer existing countries (Gaul, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics etc.). Take a look at Wikimedia Meta-Wiki: List of articles every Wikipedia should have. We really need to satisfy that if we want to thwart the "oh, they haven't got an article on {important topic X}" objection and reach our quixotic 100,000 by 2011 goal. –Tom Morris 21:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
