Wikipedia:Peer review/The Seventies/archive1
The Seventies was a previous collaboration of the week (as I type this, it is now in its final hours as collaboration). I know there are many things that can be improved with the article, but I think I would like people to list them. Strengths and weaknesses. What should be covered in history and worldwide trends and what shouldn't. What should be in daughter articles. Stuff like that. I know there are some glaring omissions (NO talk of Africa, South Asia, or the worldwide trend of feminism, etc.), and those can be rectified. I just want to know what else you think is missing and what can be fixed. Mike H (Talking is hot) 03:11, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
- My main concern is that it is already over 70kb and there are still major gaps, especially in the economy and social issues sections. My suggestion is to move the film and television sections into their own subarticles and replace them with a brief summary. The national issues section is currently somewhat overly ambitious. Are we going to have full sections on every country? I would suggest making all the sections broader so that we have one per continent or major region thus one section on all of Europe, one East Asia, another on the Eastern Bloc, etc. - SimonP 15:08, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
- I wanted them in regions, but obviously countries like the US, the UK, Japan, the Soviet Union...you know, countries that dominated the world stage at this time, should deserve sections of their own. Mike H (Talking is hot) 16:28, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
- This is impressive, but as you say yourself - incomplete. It fails to mention events in most of the world. To be comprehensive, it will likely be much larger then 100kb - so you will need to move some material into subsections (yes, 100kb is too much even for me :>). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 4 July 2005 10:39 (UTC)
- Can movies and television be moved into its own page section? lots of issues | leave me a message 19:00, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
- Sure, but it needs to be summarized, which is a gargantuan task in itself since it covers so many trends. Mike H (Talking is hot) 20:20, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
