{{Shortcut|WP:CSBOT}}
These are the open tasks for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias|Wikiproject Countering systemic bias]].  Articles are listed thematically, and then by the type of assistance requested.  An article stub for a [[feminism|feminist]] author would thus be found under the "Requests for expansion" section under Women's Studies.  

Themes are divided into four stages: non-existent, stubby, identifiably flawed and satisfactory.  "Requested articles" are pages that are entirely missing from Wikipedia.  A little bit of research on the web is normally enough to write a [[Wikipedia:Stub|stub]].  Be sure to move the list entry to the relevant section once you are done.  Articles that are stubby, or otherwise lacking in content, may be found under "Requests for expansion".  If something in particular is missing, such as a university article with a long list of alumni but little historical background, be sure to say so when you enter it.  "Requests for review" is for articles that are of decent length but need more attention.  A need for a [[WP:Basic copyediting|copyedit]] or for a fact check by a knowledgeable reader are appropriate reasons to ask for review.  

Once an article has passed through the various stages of this process it may be placed under the Satisfactory section.  Satisfactory articles are well-rounded, long enough to cover the topic in reasonable detail, and lack any major flaws.  They are not expected to be [[Wikipedia:The perfect article|perfect]].  

This open tasks list is intended to be a complement to the various Wikipedia features such as [[Wikipedia:Cleanup|Cleanup]], [[Wikipedia:Requests for expansion|Requests for expansion]], [[Wikipedia:Pages needing attention|Pages needing attention]] and [[Wikipedia:Peer review|peer review]], and you are encouraged to add articles from this list to those pages.  Many articles on this page may also be good candidates for [[Wikipedia:Collaboration of the week|Collaboration of the week]] or the [[Wikipedia:Article improvement drive|Article improvement drive]].  If you find a particularly good article in a CSB-related area, by all means nominate it as a [[WP:FAC|Featured Article candidate]].  

If you feel an article is neglected due to systemic bias, feel free to add it to an appropriate section or even to start a new section below. Sections describing perceived biases that do not include articles are placed at the bottom of the page.  If no articles are placed within the section within a month, it will be assumed that the objection is not actionable and the section will be removed.

Wikipedia has major [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering systemic bias/Geography|holes in its geographic coverage]] primarily in Africa, but also Asia and South America.  
===Countries for improvement===
The countries below have been identified as those most in need of work.  They are accompanied by some online resources that may be useful in contributing to the articles.  If a user feels that a country article has progressed to the level where it may be replaced by another, please seek consensus on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countering Systemic Bias Open Tasks|talk page]].

===Missing geography articles===
The following articles are about important geographical regions in the non-English-speaking world.

* Northeast Africa - The region encompasses [[Egypt]], [[Sudan]] and [[Horn of Africa]] and is missing completely from Wikipedia while other regions are available, suspecting racial bias as editors have been vandalizing sources referring to that region for fear of linking Egypt to Sub-Saharan African countries.
*

* [[Guinea-Bisseau Civil War]]
* [[History of Africa]] Article is very poor on African in the 20th Century, just an incomplete list of events. The article also needs to be reduced in size, and some child articles set up for the periods
* [[History of North Africa]] extremely spotty coverage of some periods, 20th century section only talks about Suez canal
* [[International development]] Huge topic, very little on this in Wikipedia anywhere
* [[Jamaican cuisine]] just a stub about a fairly well-known cuisine

* [[Recreational drug use in Kenya]]. Got attention in ''[[The New York Times]]'' [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/25/technology/25link.html article] for its poor condition. Terse, mostly unreferenced, narrowly focuses on heroin, lacks historical context and statistics. I've done what I can, but it's well outside my specialty.

* [[Salif Keita]] One of the best known Mali musicians has a small article
* [[Sarcade]] The article is on an exotic little town in Somalia with 25,000 inhabitants. Would be a real challenge to expand it.
* [[Sétif and Guelma massacre]] Created but could use expansion; a major incident of Algerian history.
* [[Tuareg languages]] - languages of the [[Tuareg people|Tuareg]], stub
* [[Vietnamese television]] could really use some attention from someone who is familiar with the topic or who can read the [http://www.vtv.vn/news/ VTV website] and other information sources that are available only in Vietnamese.  I have looked on the [[:vi:|Vietnamese Wikipedia]] but couldn't find any articles that looked like they might provide useful info upon translation, so it looks like we are on our own. Article should probably also be moved to [[Television in Vietnam]]. - [[User:AdelaMae|AdelaMae]] <sup>([[User_talk:AdelaMae|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/AdelaMae|contribs]])</sup> 21:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

===Request for review/attention of Developing World articles===

* [[HIV/AIDS in Africa]] As of May 2011 more citations are needed. Also I saw a mention in the AIDS Wikiproject that the article could use a discussion of AIDS's effects on women. Can anybody more familiar with the topic take a look and comment on what the article needs? [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 17:33, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
* [[African Union]]
* [[African slave trade]], merged into "Slavery in Africa" article, a subtopic of the redirect's title, which may cover much more than just slavery in Africa
* [[African National Congress]] Again a poor article for such a significant organisation
* [[Languages of Africa]]
* [[African diaspora]] A big, big group of people.
* [[Yellow Emperor]] Important Chinese mythological character. It should be as long as the article on [[Zeus]] for example
* [[Poverty in Africa]] - This article needs to condsider the structural causes and external causes of poverty in Africa. The continent is not an island. This would includes multilateral agreements, neo-liberal policies, unfair trade agreements (it does an excellent job at covering internal causes, but it read very biased since that is all it does. 
* [[Poverty reduction]]
* [[First Ivorian Civil War]] 
* [[Execution of Saddam Hussein]] -- <s>Lack of sources other than main US and UK news outlets such as CNN or BBC. US-sources dominate the article, and this reflects in the tone. Would need an array of both independent and international sources.</s> A number of non-US non-UK sources have been added as of May 2011
* [[Settler colonialism]] - <s>completely missing references</s> As of May 2011 it has some references and a bunch of unreferenced stuff got moved to the talk page. Still needs work. Some sections are just placeholders with no actual writing. [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 18:36, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
* [[Tripoli]] hmm... apparently Tripoli is one of those ancient cities that used to exist but its history stopped after 1911. Oh yeah, and it doesn't have any geography, culture, politics/government, economy, demographics, recreation, transportation, all that good stuff. Quite depressing. --[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 18:58, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC) As of May 2011 some more recent stuff has been added but it's still C Class and needs work.
* [[First Congo War]] and [[Second Congo War]] Work needed on intros for both and First in particular could use some expansion. [[User:BanyanTree|BanyanTree]] 20:39, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
*[[Rwandan genocide]] - The [[:fr:Génocide_au_Rwanda|French version]] spans several articles. 
** Páll has translated the French and created subpages and a navigation template, but the subpages could do with a copyedit, and content needs to be organized between the main and sub-pages. - [[User:BanyanTree|BanyanTree]] 21:33, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
**PS: also [[Initial events of the Rwandan Genocide]] per CSBOT template --[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 00:45, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
* [[Ethio–Somali War]] – now redirects to "Ogaden War", could do with some work putting it into the context of both [[History of Somalia]] and [[History of Ethiopia]]
*[[Politics of Uganda]] - <strike>a lot of copy/pasted stuff. Not very good.</strike> Tidied up but still needs some more depth, especially given recent developments re. political pluralism in Uganda. [[User:TreveX|TreveX]]<sup>[[User talk:TreveX|talk]]</sup> 12:22, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
* [[Thomas Sankara]] A major African leader for many African people.
* [[Arsen Kotsoyev]], [[Ossetia|Ossetian]] writer and journalist, the article is a candidate for "Translation of the Week", but its English version needs to be reviewed by a native speaker of English. -- [[User:Slavik IVANOV|Slavik IVANOV]] 15:37, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*[[List of populated places in Afghanistan]] This article is '''HUGE'''! I put it up for deletion and no consensus has been reached so far making an automatic keep.

*[[Alcoholism]] luckily only affects people in N. America. ''[[User:Rich Farmbrough|Rich ]] [[User talk:Rich Farmbrough| Farmbrough]]'' 15:59 7  March 2006 (UTC).

[[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 06:59, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
*[[Korean War]] The editorial bias in this article needs be corrected. ([[User:Postdoc|Postdoc]] 04:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)).
*[[Africa]] - there is an ongoing problem with an editor who wants to blank out all mention of the Ethiopian famine in 1984, in which almost a million Africans perished, for obviously political reasons because the facts are inconvenient and make Marxism–Leninism look bad.  This cannot be tolerated and the continuous edit warring needs to stop.  [[User:Til Eulenspiegel|Til Eulenspiegel]] ([[User talk:Til Eulenspiegel|talk]]) 12:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC) As of May 2011 the famine is mentioned.[[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 16:40, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

I would not have sent Jimbo something like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jimbo_Wales&diff=prev&oldid=534083497#A_barnstar_for_you.21 this] if somebody else than me was editing it.
*[[Lavdrim Muhaxheri]] The Lavdrim Muhaxheri biography article needs to be reviewed for NPOV, bias and libel, which has become an issue in recent versions.[[User:KewinRozz|KewinRozz]][[User:KewinRozz|KewinRozz]] ([[User talk:KewinRozz|talk]]) 11:23, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

*[[Yoweri Museveni]] was a featured article.
*[[Second Congo War]] has been up for peer review and failed a FAC nomination, somewhat narrowly.

** There's also [[Occupational safety and health]], which is more general, describing principles rather than specific national regulations (but is still a victim of systematic bias, it only specifically mentions US & EU practices.)

Most of the articles listed on Open Tasks are neglected because of their subject matter.  The articles below are ''internally biased''. In other words, they currently deal only with matters in certain countries, and/or often have a U.S. or developed country perspective rather than a global one.  Once they have been edited to remove the geographic bias, please place them in the Satisfactory section.  The list is split up by groups of letters of the alphabet for ease of navigation and editing.

* [[Adoption]] Lacks perspective of countries that are the sources of international adoption.
:* [[Interracial adoption]] is solely from a U.S. perspective, is from a white adoptive family perspective, and lacks information on international adoptions (which can in some cases also be considered interracial).
* [[Alcohol abuse among college students]] is primarily US-centric (and has one image from 19th century Germany) <span style="font-family: Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 01:13, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

* [[Beekeeping]] Has been a subsistence method from time immemorial for some societies. Article makes it almost look like a Western hobbyist practice.
* [[Bimetallism]] Deals almost exclusively with bimetallism in U.S. history; could use information on Islamic bimetallism and any other non-US historical/modern examples that may exist.

[[User:Erikssond|Drdan]] 18:06, 9 April 2006 (UTC) - It was invented by the British, and refined to where it is today by the Americans. There hasn't been significant additions by other countries because most of the second and third world countries today send their Technicians to UK or US schools for training.

* [[Civilian control of the military]] I'm in the process of expanding this article but will be the first one to admit that my examples and structure draws heavily on the American philosophy and practice (this could be my limited perspective showing, but I think the term is probably used most frequently in this context as it is). I've attempted to add some mentions of Maoist theories and the Soviet commissars, but would really appreciate any input from editors who can contribute more material on theories of civilian control in other countries.

Examples of opposition from US and US Virgin Islands only.
* [[Community service]] needs more examples from outside the Anglosphere (and needs a few Commonwealth examples as well); the article also implies that Christianity is the only religion in existence. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 02:59, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
* [[Contract]] Based almost exclusively on the law of common law nations, mostly the U.K.  Even non-Anglophone common law countries like India are barely mentioned.

* [[PC Engine]] This article, which is about a 16-bit videogame console by NEC, is almost exclusively American-centric. It presents the US model of this system (the TurboGrafx) as an international reference. As discussed in the Talk page of the article, evidence clearly proves that this NEC console was known and distributed in Europe under its original Japanese name, and the name "TurboGrafx" was largely ignored there.

This eventually evolved into the [[Doctrine of Inclusion]]: that everyone is saved. As a result, his enormous [[Higher Dimensions]] [http://www.higherd.org/] megachurch slowly collapsed, though, with his new theology, he again has a congregation numbering at least into the hundreds.

== Giving undue weight to heterodox economics and pseudoeconomics ==

Since economics tend to be an issue mired in politics, pseudoeconomics are frequently invoked in political discourse and by many average people who discuss economic issues. On Wikipedia, the largest problem seems to be the promotiong of monetary crankery, by [[New World Order (conspiracy theory)|New World Order conspiracy theorists]] and [[Libertarianism|Libertarian]] supporters of [[Austrian School|Austrian economics]]. Several articles on monetary theory currently violate [[WP:FRINGE]]. However, occasionally radical Marxists also abuse Wikipedia in the same way. Because the average person is not educated in economics, they may not be aware of the fringe-status of Austrian and Marxist arguments when they are presented, or that may not recognize a certain argument as "Marxist" or "Austrian" when it is presented. However, articles related to criticism of [[John Maynard Keynes]] and [[Keynesian economics]] could use expansion...

He was extremely unpopular, but you still don't have a huge portion of the article dealing with detailed policy criticism, when he is arguably the most deserving of it. What criticisms there are can be made with 80 years of insight and is backed up with historians as sources, not political analysts.

*[[Execution of Saddam Hussein]] -- Lack of sources other than main US news outlets such as CNN or in the case of a British news outlet, the BBC. US-sources dominate the article, and this reflects in the tone. Would need an array of both independent and international sources.  [[User:Sfacets|Sfacets]] 02:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC) As of May 2011 there are a number of non-US-non-British sources.
*[[Covance]] -- Focuses on animal testing information with an animal rights slant. Does not provide sufficient, accurate information on other areas of business, which include FDA nutritional testing and antibody development. [[User:Orcar967|Orcar967]] 17:27, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
*[[paint]] -- only deals with the art aspect not the commercial painting aspect.
*[[Pregnancy (mammals)]] - focuses too much on humans by using the word "pregnancy" instead of "gestation". This article was initially split from the article about human [[pregnancy]]. Also, doesn't define well which animals gestate and which not, and discounts gestation in other animals, if any.
*[[Wikimedia movement]] is written from an insider point of view, without mentioning criticism made by [[MediaWiki]] developer [[User:Tim Starling]]. My edit which added it was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia&diff=21098678&oldid=21080547 removed] by a sysop who used his revert power. [[User:Wikinerd|Wikinerd]] 03:31, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
**FWIW, "his revert power" consists of skipping a click: it is exactly the same ability anyone else has to revert an edit, just slightly more efficient. -- [[User:Jmabel|Jmabel]] | [[User talk:Jmabel|Talk]] 05:14, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
*[[List of people who have been considered deities]] - Western bias in addressing the concept of God and divinity.  Article is currently protected due to ongoing disputes. Please come and help out at the [[Talk:List of people who have been considered deities|talk page]]. --[[User:Zappaz|ZappaZ]] [[Image:Yin_yang.svg|12px]] 17:01, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
**There is no more Western bias. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] ([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]) 21:23, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
*[[Robinson list]] -- mentions the US Do Not Call list, but then proceeds to deal with only email spam and talk about Robinson lists as if they were only for spam.
* [[Myth]] and related articles -- some mythologies are treated differently from other mythologies. Problems with definition. Many editors have strong feelings about these articles. &ndash; [[User:Ish_ishwar|ishwar]] &nbsp;[[User_talk:Ish_ishwar|<small>(speak)</small>]] 05:13, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
* The [[Democracy]] article needs attention to ensure that it does not suffer from a bias from the point of view perspective of [[liberal democracy]].  [[User:BruceHallman|BruceHallman]] 19:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
* All articles related to the [[creation–evolution controversy]], including [[Intelligent design]], and [[Objections to evolution]], among several others.  Particularly strident defense of bias on talk pages.  [[User:Gnixon|Gnixon]] 23:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
*[[Media coverage of the Iraq War|2003 invasion of Iraq media coverage]] - This article would benefit from a lot more information on how media outside of the U.S. and Britain covered the war. --[[User:Mackabean|Mackabean]] 22:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC) 
*[[Guantanamo Bay detention camp]] - The global perspective section of this article could be lengthened considerably.  I don't know a lot about this, but my sense is that Guantanamo has received considerable attention from U.S. allies and opponents around the world. --[[User:Mackabean|Mackabean]] 22:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
*[[Alternative education]] - It is heavily POV in favour of this type of education, since most authors of the article are pro-alternative education.  I believe that there should be a section about the criticisms regarding this written by those who support [[traditional education]]. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] 00:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
*[[Traditional education]] - There should be more background information regarding this topic rather than being mainly a comparison of the two types of education.  Additionally, the article seems as if it were written by those who support alternative education.  <s>The article is also USA-centric</s>.  [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] 00:16, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
**It is no longer USA-centric. [[User:Johnny Au|Johnny Au]] ([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]) 21:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
*[[Joseph McCarthy]] - Several editors continue to alter any edits to their POV introduction, calling those who oppose Communism "extreme", and that is just the tip of the iceberg. [[User:Judgesurreal777|Judgesurreal777]] 20:11, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

== Soviet history ==
Many articles about the [[Soviet Union]] rely on information from anti-Soviet sources. Both pro- and anti-Soviet sources can be greatly biased. Where possible, cite the sources used, and try to find balance. [[User:GRuban|GRuban]] 14:50, 1 March 2006 (UTC) (greatly condensing [[User:Paranoid|Paranoid]] 17:00, 17 July 2005 (UTC))
* Please review [[Axis powers]] where Soviet Union is shown as an ally of Nazi Germany, while Spain even not shown as a Nazi collaborator state.--[[User:Certh|Certh]] 09:43, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
**Um, did you read the article at all? It mentions that the Soviet Union was at one time an ally of Germany (which it was), but of course goes on to say how that changed after Operation Barabarosa. And there is a section discussion Spain's (and Portugal's) collaboration with Germany. I see no systemic bias in that article... --[[User:JerryOrr|JerryOrr]] 12:26, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

==People with disabilities; disability studies==
I think most Wikipedians do not consider themselves people with disabilities. Therefore, things such as the sociology, history, psychology, language, etc. of disabilities do not get covered in too much detail. We do have a very nice, somewhat long [[List of disability rights activists]], but a lot of the articles are redlinks. Some of the articles that are not redlinks go to articles about people other than the ones mentioned on the page, and need to be disambiguated; a few other are pages of politicians, whose pages need to be checked for mention in their involvement for disability rights. Also, the vast majority of people on the list, if not all of them, are from the Western world.

===Requests for articles===
*How about [[Disability geography]]? Do a search on Google Scholar and you will find quite a wealth of journal articles that can be used to write that article. <span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;"> [[User:Johnny Au|<span style="color:#ffd700;background:#000080">Johnny Au</span>]]</span> <sub>([[User talk:Johnny Au|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Johnny Au|contributions]])</sub> 19:41, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

===Requests for expansion===
*[[William Stokoe]] major contributor to understanding of ASL (American Sign Language) only has a stub [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 06:29, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
*[[Arc of the United States|ARC]] (formerly Association of Retarded Citizens) is tagged for reading like an advertisement. Needs better sources, most are the ARC itself. [[User:Cloveapple|Cloveapple]] ([[User talk:Cloveapple|talk]]) 06:29, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

==Underrepresented occupations==
*[[Coal miner]] redirects [[Miner]], which is a stub. Now redirects to [[mining]], which is a decent article with info on the profession.  Now redirects to [[Coal mining]]
*[[Small engine repair]] - stub
<s>*[[Pipefitter]] redirects to [[Plumber]] and [[pipefitting]] redirects to [[Pipefitter]]</s> - fixed but needs expansion --[[User:Bookgrrl|Bookgrrl]] 05:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
<s>*[[Steamfitter]] - no article</s> - redirected to pipefitting since everything I found everywhere including the trades description lumped the two together --[[User:Bookgrrl|Bookgrrl]] 05:01, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
*[[Machinist]] - <s>stub</s>
*[[Boilermaker]] - stub
*[[Steelworker]] redirects to the United Steelworkers Union article.
*[[Ironworker]] is a stub about the machine, not the profession.  
*[[Steel fixer]] - stub
*[[Steel erector]] - stub
*[[Brakeman]] - stub
*[[Boatman]] - no article.  Disambig page pointing to [[Sailor]] as the nearest to this sense
*[[Baggage handler]] - stub
*[[roughneck]], [[driller (oil)]], [[motorman]], etc. All [[oilpatch]] jobs are stubs.
:: '''General comment''': one reason many of these articles do not exist, or are still stubs is that potential contributors have no model for a successful article on a profession. If one of the more complete articles could be improved into a [[WP:FA|featured article]], this might help Wikipedians in filling these needs. -- [[User:Llywrch|llywrch]] 17:29, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I agree, are there any jobs that are FA status?  [[Engineer]], or [[Software writer]] maybe? [[User:Kevlar67|Kevlar67]] 02:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

==Non-English-speaking Scientists==
Numerous notable non-US/English scientists have no entries in Wikipedia. Ways to help include looking through [[:Category:Science and engineering prizes|award-winning scientists]], [[:Category:Awards by country]], 
[[List of members of the National Academy of Sciences]],
* Uncredited scientific achievements should be credited in the appropriate articles, with links to the scientists. 
* Scientific "pedigrees" that include notable students or advisors should be added where appropriate. Generally advisors listed near the top with graduate and postdoc work. Notable students may be mentioned in a single paragraph about the lab and/or influences of the scientist.

== Merging overrepresented content ==
In addition to adding new content to underrepresented areas, we should also work on minimizing content in overrepresented ones.  It is easy to generate a hundred 1k articles out of 3k of text, if you break it up poorly and repeat yourself for a long intro paragraph in each of a hundred stubs, rather than making a single, concise page including them all.

Subjects to watch for:
* [[Star Wars]] characters and locales
* [[Star Trek]] characters and locales
* [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]-related characters and locales
* any modern television show (one article per episode summary, per throwaway character) -- particularly [[Modern animation in the United States|American]] and [[Anime|Japanese]] [[Animation|cartoons]]
* any serialized media: comic strips, comic books, serial stories, 10-part novels.  In each case, figure out what the right chunk-size is for the text...
* slang or jargon (can be moved to [[Wiktionary]], or combined into topical pages with the history of that jargon type, not one page per term)
* [[Rapid transit]], [[Light rail|light rail transit]], and [[bus rapid transit]] stations (should be combined into articles about individual rapid transit lines instead if the stations themselves are not notable)

These are all topics that ''should'' be in Wikipedia; and none of the existing content needs to be removed; but repeated content, and generation of hundreds of stubs rather than one or two good articles, is bad for readers, for categorizers, for quality-editors, and for the 'random article' feature.<small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Sj|Sj]] ([[User talk:Sj|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Sj|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

:Not really sure what this has to do with countering systemic bias... --[[User:JerryOrr|JerryOrr]] 11:30, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

::It is relevant to systemic bias - contributors' systemic bias leads to these short messy articles. It isn't really what this project focuses on, though, which is more to do with filling in neglected areas. See umpteen discussions about choosing a less misleading name if you're interested. --[[User_talk:Cherry_blossom_tree|'''C'''herry '''b'''lossom '''t'''ree]] 22:34, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

:::isn't this akin to granting equality to cripples by chopping everyone else's legs off? certain topics are under-represented, so let's lower the representation of others to match? why not leave the content alone, and add new content for the under-represented areas, even if they're just stubs (might entice new editors familiar in those topics)? --[[User:Dak|Dak]] ([[User talk:Dak|talk]]) 03:50, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

== List of articles every Wikipedia should have ==

I'm not sure this belongs here, but it seems relevant to this WikiProject -- please feel free to move it to a more appropriate place (and drop me a note).

The [[meta:List of articles every Wikipedia should have]] is about as Eurocentric and USA-centric as it could be. I just added a comment at [[meta:Talk:List of articles every Wikipedia should have#Euro-centric]] arguing that this is a serious problem. Perhaps attention from people in this project with more experience in these matters might help.
