Macrophilia**

[edit]
Reason
The article is very much incomplete. Seemingly focused on Giantesses then any other form of giant. Needs expansion and clean-up.

Social justice*

[edit]
Reason
Far from comprehensive, totally unsourced, little depth, possibly biased. Particularly needs information about religious perspectives on social justice (it is a major tenet of many Christian denominations), views around the world, views over time, and interaction with other political philosophies. -- Tetraminoe

Catch 22*

[edit]
Reason
It has about fifty subpages and a sequel, not to mention being a pivotal work in whatever strange astral plane of derangement it occupies.

Tacoma, Washington*

Maria Lionza

[edit]
Reason
Desperately needs "article improvement drive" status.
Support

  • SUPPORT!: This is a topic that requires much research and should be a challenge. Therefore I have concluded this will be the only way to get people to research this very interesting topic. I found out about this while researching Venezuela and I thought this topic would be a good thing to make a Wikipedia article about. Unfortunately, this is something that not many will even notice, so basically I have been the only one contributing to this article. I would love it if this could be improved and be one step closer to becoming a featured article. For research, there is a good resource that I put in the "Sources" section, it's called "A Girardian reading of the myth of Maria Lionza", it has pages and pages of information. If you use a search engine, you should be able to find alot of information in English but there's also alot of information in Spanish so if you know both languages (like me) that is a plus. Please support this article. - Stancel 11:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Bumper sticker

[edit]
Reason
Currently a stub. Could be improved alot, including pictures and examples of bumper stickers. Their history, their political use, etc. Millions of people have some kind of bumper sticker on their car, so I think this article should at least be longer than it is now.
