- Long term goal: return to featured status
- Article structure has been significantly changed and needs fixing and further improvement.
- Howard Tayler's boycott of Wikipedia should be mentioned. People participating in the boycott are objecting to the exclusion of webcomics from Wikipedia on the grounds that they are not notable enough.
- Include pop culture reference from NBC show The Office. Character Michael Scott says "Wikipedia... is the best thing ever. Anyone in the world can write anything they want about any subject, so you know you are getting the best possible information." in season 3 episode "The Negotiation".
- There should be a mention of Wales and probably Sanger in the lead.
- See if anything from Italian page can be used to improve this one.
- Consider implementing any suggestions made by the most recent peer review, including the automated peer-review suggestions.
- Add demographic information from pew report [1]
- Stylistic problems, specifically:
- ...the single-sentence paragraphs, the lack of flow within paragraphs, the broken connections between paragraphs, the weak large-scale architecture in the article, the huge number of references for a paltry amount of data, the lack of distinction between important and trivial facts.
- Record a new audio file once it reaches FA standard
- Improve the search engine
- Other:
- Is it worth having an FAQ like other heavy traffic articles? E.g. "Why should Wikipedia have an article on itself?"
- The "sub-articles" that were split off from this article are badly in need of attention, as are several other related articles. The following all need work:
- Reliability of Wikipedia
- Criticism of Wikipedia
- Wikipedia in popular culture
- History of Wikipedia — this one in particular is missing information and should be reorganized
- Can we get the first three of these into a template somehow?
- Many other language Wikipedia articles of questionable notability, particularly the smallest ones. A thorough going through is needed, with non-notable articles being AFD material.
