External border of the European Union

External border of the European Union – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 24 daily hits

Important article, but little more than a list. Could be easily expanded.--CSJJ104 (talk) 12:36, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - Despite the article having a semi-low page views (like the other article nominated), this is a top importance article that also needs major fixing. Due to these problems, I remain neutral... for now. Redolta📱 ^Contribs 01:26, 3 August 2016 (UTC) (updated 9 August 2016, at 21:55 (UTC))[reply]
Oppose Call me the "pageviews guy", but I firmly believe this figure should be play a large role in deciding if it's worth a week's time of collaboration. I already proposed a minimum pageviews of several hundred, and I stand by it. I realize the subject may have been assessed as top-importance, but the backlog of pending TAFIs is quite long; Surely we can find more popular articles are worth our while? — MusikAnimal ^talk 00:35, 9 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MusikAnimal - Personally I don't think anyone's going to have interest in this and plus I'd imagine any UK editors would rather not have anything to do with this article (myself included!), There's better articles on here that deserve our time. –Davey2010^Talk 12:14, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Important article for the area. Could be easily improved by editors of any ability. --CSJJ104 (talk) 13:01, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I agree it certainly could use improvement but this article does not receive sufficient exposure to warrant a week's effort, in my opinion — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:36, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MusikAnimal - Won't attract many editors so IMHO would be a waste of a week. –Davey2010^Talk 12:19, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Top importance to multiple projects. Needs expansion and could be improved by any level of editor. --CSJJ104 (talk) 13:15, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Pageviews count too low, and I often find articles merely documenting a "term" to be difficult to expand on — MusikAnimal ^talk 01:50, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - It gets 30-40 views a day which I personally believe is great however again I don't think this will gain many editors so again think this would be a waste of a week. –Davey2010^Talk 12:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

August 2016 Aden bombing – (page view stats • edit • talk • history) - 253 daily hits

Terrorism editors are leaving because of the volume of new content lately and it is now impossible to keep up with all of the attacks. The lists are no longer properly updated, and articles such as this one have recently only been improved by myself. Unfortunately, my life is getting busier and busier, and do not have much time. It would be great if someone could improve this article in the fashion that other terrorism articles are written, while also considering helping out on other terrorism articles. These articles cover very notable events and get a lot of his daily. Not to mention that I have seen these articles as top trending subjects on social media, and are referenced to by notable news outlets and even politicians. Thanks.
