[Foundation-l] About the low hanging fruit - Wikimedia-l

10 Jun 2011

I wouldn't describe a short article as "hardly useful for creation"  I
created http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Pass,_California only
three years and already the current article is five times the size of
what I created. It still has some of my original content, and some has
been spunoff into an even bigger new article
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Pass_rare_earth_mine

Who knows how much those small articles will grow in future years and decades.

 Indeed, 7 out of 19 articles I created over three weeks are in Great
 Soviet Encyclopaedia (and about a dozen of more among those I expanded as
 well). One of these (on a folklorist Anna Astakhova, which I started today)
 does not exist in Russian Wikipedia. Admittedly all of them (in GSE, not
 those I created) are very short and hardly useful for creation a Wikipedia
 article - although GSE gives a clear proof of notability, just in case.

 Cheers
