Hello folks,

this is a suggestion to encourage more edits. It is both a topic for 
every of our projects but also of most of the  foundation projects. So I 
post it here at first and will welcome everyone to carry it to the 
single projects.

On the home page of our projects for example en-wp we have the column 
"Did you know..." where we feature the new created articles. The idea is 
to create a column where we put in articles that does not exist or that 
are stubs and should be improved.

The column look like:

Can you tell us about ...
* the pianist [[Veryan Weston]]
* the [[Kansas City Philamonics]]
* the bird [[Black-eared Seedeater]]

etc.

The column should be at a prominant place so that every visitor can see 
it. The requested articles can be selected by multiple ways, the 
community can discuss the way and establish a procedure.
