Wikipedia:Historical archive/Logs/Offline reports/Is this really a stub?

Overview

The list below shows long pages in the main English article namespace (5000 characters or more) that are marked as being stubs. It was generated on 24 September 2004 from the 20 September 2004 database dump.

Preamble

Articles which have grown over time sometimes remain marked as stubs. This may be correct - perhaps they cover a large topic. However, in general articles are no longer considered stubs once they have reached a significant size. The {{stub}} can be removed from them.

Regenerating this report

This report is generated from a Link Analysis Database using the SQL:

SELECT concat( '*[[', art_title, ']] (', art_len, ' bytes)' ) 
FROM art 
WHERE art_len >= 5000
AND art_is_stub = 1
ORDER BY art_len DESC, art_title;

The results need split into sub-sections manually.

Suggested improvements

• This list hasn't seen much use. Need to find some sort of discussion or guideline about what a stub really is. - TB 09:39, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
• List is now sorted by length, as suggested by Bobblewik
• Any article with significant gaps, especially those set for addition of more matterial, should still be considered stubs. Thus the article U.S. Highway 23, whose author intends others to complete, can be considered a stub.

You make a fair point, but I don't recommend that anyone should be too constrained by the unfulfilled ambitions of previous editors. All articles are set for changes to content or structure, so they are all incomplete in a sense. Empty section headings and other 'under construction' artefacts are sometimes the very things that need removal to improve the look and feel of an article for the reader. Bobblewik  (talk) 12:51, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I agree with you both over this one. Other than empty section headings and the phrase "under construction", can either of you think of other indicators of longer articles actually being stubs ? - TB 12:51, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)

• I've adjusted the size-cutoff point for this report from 2500 characters to 5000 to keep it's size manageable. - TB 12:51, Sep 24, 2004 (UTC)
