Almost every article in Ireland Information Guide could do with some expansion. This page is for listing those stubs, substubs and other articles that have decent information, but that you find embarrassingly short or insufficient for an encyclopedia of the stature to which Ireland Information Guide aspires.
Also see Category:Requests for expansion.
Alternative pages:
Please list entries chronologically (newest at top) and add {{expansion}} to the top of the article. Once an entry has been expanded make sure to remove it from this page.

Science fiction on television has a long and detailed history of the genre on British television, which I wrote for the page a couple of months ago, but only a single paragraph on American science-fiction television. When I did the edit adding all the details of British TV sci-fi history, I only left the stub paragraph for the US there as I assumed someone more knowledgeable about US TV sci-fi than myself would come along and add to it. Although there have been a couple of minor details added, it still looks embarrassingly small when compared to the section on UK TV sci-fi, which is rather unbalanced considering the American contribution to the genre. Angmering
Prose seems suprisingly brief, considering it encompasses such a large amount of literature, and when compared to the Poetry or Literature articles. Anyone with ideas? Some useful additions might be authors, their works, history, etc --Brendanfox 10:52, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Pete Doherty A few more things could be added?
Synod of Bishops sub stub
Barbus - Ram-Man has set up a batch of excellent articles on fishes in this genus, but the material is mainly aquarium oriented and someone with a bit of technical background needs to rake through FishBase and add more ichthyological material. I'd do it myself but I am still bogged down in IDing possible additions to the List of San Francisco Bay Area wildflowers. seglea
Myrmica rubra an article we need but this is a substub, needs everything seglea

Theresa LePore

Mustang (horse) - Hard to believe this didn't already exist! I added a teeny stub but it needs to be a full article. Elf | Talk 21:44, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
References to the Cthulhu Mythos - I believe this article could contain some more information, since the Cthulhu Mythos is very wide and still influences several kinds of works. The article is also linked to only one page (Cthulhu Mythos), so if anyone could edit more pages to add Wiki links to it, it would be really nice. -Mackeriv 02:10, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

Indian reservation - seems to me there's a lot you could say about Indian reservations: history, organization and governance, current issues, future.

U.S. two dollar bill, U.S. five dollar bill, U.S. ten dollar bill, U.S. twenty dollar bill, U.S. fifty dollar bill, and U.S. hundred dollar bill Can you expand these articles by putting other milestones in the bills' histories?? You may use http://www.currencygallery.org as a reference tool. In addition, the $20 bill has pictures of both the front and the back, the $100 has a picture of the front, and the $5, $10, and $50 have no pictures at all. Can you please add some pictures in?? Also, if you have any milestones in their histories that date prior to the time of the Federal Reserve, please label them as "pre-Federal Reserve history", making the history currently mentioned designated as "Federal Reserve history". For the $1 bill, just use the Federal Reserve note page. 66.32.99.119 01:39, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Petrus Plancius - sub-stub Isomorphic
Archibald MacLeish - I created this from Most Wanted Pages. The biography is solid, but I don't know literature so the discussion of his actual work is embarassingly short. If someone with more literary knowledge could expand it, that'd be appreciated. Isomorphic 15:39, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Operation Just Cause – good info right now, but a background information is needed; such as explaining the U.S. obligation at the time of protecting the Panama Canal Zone. There is a good reference pointed in the article, hope that helps. Maio 05:42, Jan 16, 2004 (UTC)
Battle of the Little Bighorn - It doesn't talk about the battle, just the events leading up to it and the aftermath after it. After reading it, I felt let down. Gentgeen 06:47, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Comedy film: User Koyaanis Qatsi makes this great suggestion..."Maybe we could start with a historical overview of comedians in the silents, going through to early talkies and different movements (physical comedy, intellectual comedy, etc. and their overlaps). On through to maybe absurdist & postmodern comedy." Wish someone could or would. Kingturtle 07:56, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)
History of literature - Although the title suggests this topic is so all-encompassing it could have its own wiki, we might succeed in giving a well-balanced survey no longer than the usual article of that kind. Right now, however, this seems to be work in progress abandoned by a sadly missing Ireland Information Guide user. --KF 22:48, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
SCO v. IBM is now way behind events, in particular the recent court hearing related to discovery. -- The Anome 13:04, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)
