Unorganized / Things to-do

The lists below were grabbed from other organizational schemes - it appears many of them were integrated with the alphabetical lists, however not all of them made the transition (see Agnew) - and none of the other locations was redirected here, nor where those old requests deleted from those pages.

These need to be integrated into the alphabetical list, double-checked, and then the professions need to be checked and broken out into the professions, then the professions not stored on this page need to be moved to their appropriate pages. Work in progress.

If you find a non-person in here, please don't simply delete it, place it at the bottom to be put back into the other request pages, or place it in the correct request page yourself.

Then, work on profession pages - and pull stuff from the bottom of each alphabetical list. Grab links to natural science, biz, mat, social sciences, etc, and make cross-linked and pretty

Link up potential foreign language articles under the appropriate language, then check to see if those articles exist, if they do not, then strike-thru the link, but leave it, so that people can see that you checked for information even if you couldn't translate it.

Add (FirstName LastName) alternatives to all (FirstName MiddleInitial LastName) requests - and then go check those disambig pages, a number of these requests are already done, but under a slightly different name, if we can find them. In the history see Ballard (removed 2008-02-27). Double check that all F M L have periods on the middle initial. Ditto for people with "fun" aliases in their names. Wackhead Simpson was already done, but had either " instead of ' in his article title name.

Anthropologists is still a major mess. A *lot* of potential requests got dumped on us, still working on cleaning up the names with correct spaces, filling in missing punctuation, and the like. Found some articles by filling in the first/last names, and alternative spellings - but so far I'm only to the letter D in adding those links, much less checking them to see if they're going to places that we're interested (re: these requests). And I've left that section in the finished area. Dunno if that's a good idea.
