• It would be quite useful to store only the relevant data for each day/month/year/decade/century page (e.g. 1985). That way we could implement more advanced queries, e.g. "list all important events in the years 1348-1352" and minimize the amount of stored data (saying that John Doe was born on DD/MM/YY once rather than adding his name to both the Days list, the Months list and the Years list).

Regarding the Concepts WikiProject, I would like to understand better what qualifies as a concept and what doesn't. For instance, is "electron" a concept? How about "beauty" or "religion"? What happens if there are wpc articles about concepts which are also treated elsewhere in the Wikipedia? --AxelBoldt

I think by far the best way to figure out how to "organize all known concepts in a logical manner" is to write encyclopedia articles. Trying to say a priori how concepts are related, without exploring all the multivarious ways, in detail (here, the devil is in the details), of how different topics are related, seems inefficient.

I also don't see what the point of trying to "organize all known concepts in a logical manner" for Wikipedia would be. How would we use the work? As I understand it, the point of "WikiProjects" is ultimately assist in the building of an encyclopedia. How does "WikiProjects Concepts" do that?

The very best thing we all can be doing on Wikipedia is writing encyclopedia articles about stuff we know about. --Larry Sanger
