Linguistics

 * Imperative clause (distinct from Imperative mood)
 * Fused head
 * Metalinguistic negation
 * Way construction
 * 
 * Conventionalization
 * Conventionalized speech currently redirects to Formulaic language. Maybe Conventionalization could also redirect there for now, but it's probably worthy of a standalone article.

Music

 * Click train
 * He Needs Me / Everything He Needs
 * https://www.thefader.com/2019/05/17/carly-rae-jesen-everything-he-needs-harry-nilsson-dedicated-essay
 * Pre-Broadway tryout
 * Detuned synthesizer

Other arts

 * Mathu Andersen.
 * Example sources: ,
 * Joe Norris (artist)
 * 
 * Mason Croft, Stratford-upon-Avon. Headquarters of Shakespeare Institute and former home of Marie Corelli.
 * 
 * Substance and Shadow - Punch cartoon from which the term "cartoon" derives
 * 
 * Audience participation program (particularly as a term of art applied to radio programs spanning game shows and proto-reality shows, as well as early television adaptations of the genre)
 * 
 * Genre dabconcepts
 * Horror (genre) article with summary-style combination of Horror fiction, Horror film, Horror game, etc.
 * similar treatment for Mystery (genre)
 * cf. this RM
 * Western (genre) is an example where we're already doing this
 * Pulp fiction novel. Pretty remarkable we don't seem to have much dedicated coverage of mass market pulp paperback fiction, except as an afterthought in Pulp magazine. Though we do have quite extensive coverage of the subtopics Lesbian pulp fiction and Gay pulp fiction.
 * More Marie Corelli novels, most importantly Barabbas, A Dream of the World's Tragedy
 * The redlinks at List of sex hygiene films should eventually get blued. Fit to Fight (film) seems like an especially important one that's well documented in RS.

Social movements

 * Lawrence Lader, founder of NARAL and significant figure in Roe v. Wade
 * National days of fasting and humiliation in Victorian Britain.
 * 
 * Paterson pgs 161-162
 * Sterilization in India
 * Partly covered at, but this was also prefigured by a program of voluntary sterilization in the 60s and early 70s, partly driven and funded by USAID and American NGOs associated with the population movement.
 * See Sterilized by the State (Hansen and King, 2013) pp. 202-205 for a start
 * Helen Edey
 * 
 * SBTS pp. 203-205
 * Jimmye Kimmey
 * Bachelor (magazine)
 * Sources:, , , ,
 * Some scans that are good candidates for commons upload: (Copyright almost certainly not renewed, but should double-check)

Machine learning

 * DRAW (machine learning model)
 * Generative image model
 * Would be really useful to have this as a parent article to subtopics like text-to-image model, as well as particular architectures (generative adversarial network). It would also be a good place to cover other conditional generation tasks beyond text-to-image (inpainting, outpainting, img2img, style transfer, super-resolution, etc.), some of which don't really have a home right now (beyond coverage of, say, inpainting as done by a particular model like DALL-E).
 * Training (machine learning). Kind of wild that this doesn't exist. Nearest topic is Training, validation, and test data sets. Also probably room for an article on the specific subtopic Neural network training.
 * Training data memorization (cf. overfitting, Artificial intelligence and copyright)

Other

 * List of expeditions. Or perhaps Lists of expeditions, as a WP:LISTOFLISTS entry point to standalone lists like List of Antarctic expeditions, List of Mount Everest expeditions, List of lost expeditions, etc.
 * Pain contract (aka "Pain treatment agreement", aka "Controlled-substance agreement")
 * Statistical Manual for the Use of Institutions for the Insane
 * ,
 * Six pack (muscles) redirects to the highly technical anatomical article Rectus abdominis muscle. There's probably room for a separate article about six packs / visible abdominals as a cultural topic, and its relation to beauty standards etc.
 * Photographic filter is a quite technical article about "low level" photographic filters. It gets a lot of incoming links from contexts that are referring to filters as a social media phenomenon, which are quite a different beast, and should perhaps have a separate article. (We have beauty filter, but that's only a subtopic.)
 * Brandon Lee (student) (or perhaps something like Brandon Lee imposture per WP:BLP1E)
 * Some coverage in pop history books, e.g. "The World's Greatest Hoaxes", "Impostors: Six Kinds of Liar", though none easy to access
 * Lots of news coverage, contemporary and recent, though have to be careful to avoid the surfeit of tabloid coverage. Look for stories about the story, e.g., ,
 * Contemporary coverage in BMJ:
 * Previously deleted article at Brian MacKinnon. Detailed but completely unsourced. Speedily deleted under WP:G10.
 * Supreme Court of the United States oral arguments. Tons of secondary coverage of this topic that doesn't belong in the broad-concept stub we have at Oral arguments.

Splits

 * Split LGBT people in prison into separate articles for gay and trans prisoners? Sources tend to talk about one or the other, and the considerations for each are pretty different. Also, I spent a fair while searching for sources about trans men in prison, and could find nothing more than a a master's thesis, so scope might have to be limited to trans women prisoners.
 * This should be a table with a column for prose describing the major details of each individual leak. A basic list of album names and years is not very informative. (Also, should probably establish some list criteria that the leak itself must have been the subject of non-trivial coverage. Per Music leak, most albums nowadays leak - so we should probably only list examples about which we can say something more substantial than "It leaked".)
 * Absinthe This section (and the containing article as a whole) is probably large enough to merit a WP:SIZESPLIT.
 * Steinach operation. Split off from Eugen Steinach. One good source on this is "On the chequered history of vasectomy" (2001).
 * Absinthe This section (and the containing article as a whole) is probably large enough to merit a WP:SIZESPLIT.
 * Steinach operation. Split off from Eugen Steinach. One good source on this is "On the chequered history of vasectomy" (2001).

Potential moves/ptopic concerns

 * Duncan Hines attracts a lot of bad(ish) incoming links intended to refer to the brand. Should probably split off a separate article for that.
 * Similar situation with Elizabeth Arden. In that case we do have a separate Elizabeth Arden, Inc. article, but a lot of the incoming links targeting the base name are referring to the brand, which strongly suggests that the current ptopic arrangement isn't working.
 * It seems very plausible that a reader on English Wikipedia might search for "preposition" looking specifically for information about prepositions in English (though it is implausible a user might use such a search term expecting to find information about, say, Spanish prepositions). The same goes for any other grammatical class or phenomenon you can name. But generally these base names go to articles that try to explain the concept cross-linguistically. And from those articles it's often not easy for readers to navigate to the en-specific article (e.g. a reader of Compound (linguistics) needs to do a lot of scrolling to find a link to English compound). Should these be considered full (rather than WP:PARTIAL) title matches, and therefore get a disambiguating hatnote link (or even be considered as competitors for primary topic status?).
 * Rename Thanksgiving (Canada) -> Canadian Thanksgiving? Article intro sort of frames "Canadian Thanksgiving" as an exonym. As a Canadian, I don't think that's quite true. (See, for example, the title of the Macleans cite)
 * Revisit clickstream data once it's available in a month or two re Talk:Keith Richard
 * Autotune vs. Pitch correction. Because the former term is so commonly used as a genericized trademark to refer to the broader concept of pitch correction, there are lots of wikilinks targeting this page which are just referring to pitch correction, not the specific software created by Antares. Same goes for much of the article's content.
 * Also possibly worth having a separate article on "extreme autotune", i.e. "autotune as stylistic effect" (as opposed to the more conventional use to hide minor imperfections)
 * Bridewell as a primary redirect to Bridewell Palace is probably a poor choice. Significant proportion of incoming wikilinks are mistargeted.

Old discussions that petered out but should maybe be revisited someday

 * Talk:Gay
 * Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Lady_Gaga. The RS are utterly wrong about this, and there's probably nothing we can do about it. A sad case where we're compelled to choose verifiability in place of truth.
 * Talk:Glamour_photography
 * Template_talk:Infobox_magazine
 * Talk:Radio_1_FM_(The_Gambia)

Misc content todos

 * Add non-free video clip to Chippendales Audition
 * Expand The Comeback (TV series) with info about cult following and how that factored into the show's delayed revival for a second season
 * Anchovy has a lot of incoming links that should really point to Anchovies as food instead
 * Mine Category:Photography controversies for more entries to add to List of photo manipulation incidents
 * Sentence function seems like a kind of flakey, unreferenced redundant fork of Illocutionary force (which probably should be split into a standlone article)
 * Add section to Computer memory about memory as an abstract computational resource in theoretical computer science, with link to Space complexity.
 * Memory space should also link to Space complexity. (Alternatively, Memory space (computational resource) has a weird redirect target. Should maybe be redirected instead to Space complexity.)
 * Add Template:Infobox expedition to more articles.
 * Magellan expedition stuff
 * Lots more detail about return trip from Ternate
 * More detail on activities of survivors on return to Spain, particularly trial of San Antonio deserters, and oral testimony of Elcano et al at Valladolid
 * Currently at ~46kb of readable prose, which is starting to approach WP:SIZESPLIT territory. Perhaps the "Survivors" section could be split off into a standalone list article? Could also be interesting to split off a bibliography article, though the content currently in the article is not that long.
 * Replace problematic cites. Cameron 1974 is sort of an un-serious popular account which embellishes and distorts the facts, and should be avoided. Castro is non-ideal per WP:RSUE (also may have some factual issues, just based on seeing it used to cite some erroneous claims)
 * EngenderHealth
 * Rewrite intro to better summarize body
 * Trim content which is some combination of promotional/overly detailed/uncited/cited only to a press release
 * Best secondary sources seem to be Dowbiggin (various), Kluchin 2009, and Randall & King 2013.
 * Continue down the list of merge candidates at User:Colin M/Disambiguation pages differing by case
 * Prison should have a section on terminology. The intro currently dwells a lot on this topic, but it's not actually discussed in the body. Definitely an issue of due weight / WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY.
 * Expand and reorganize ... Not!. Some ELs would be useful as references. CGEL also briefly discusses this (calling it "unintegrated final not"), pg. 812.
 * Expand Take It or Leave It (radio show) (Cox is a good source). More details on the format. Spin-offs and successors.
 * Sex hygiene film stuff...
 * Add more incoming links to Sex hygiene film, such as from...
 * Pre-Code sex films
 * Social guidance film
 * World War II U.S. Military Sex Education
 * Exploitation film
 * Commission on Training Camp Activities
 * Create a sex hygiene film category
 * Expand list. Sources that haven't been scoured include:
 * https://reason.com/2003/11/01/kroger-babbs-roadshow-2/
 * Medicine's Moving Pictures (2007)
 * Schaefer 1999
 * http://www.screeningthepast.com/issue-42-first-release/prurient-exuberance-early-australian-sex-hygiene-films-and-the-origins-of-ozploitation/
 * imgs
 * Talk:N-gram_language_model

Other

 * Revive old script for hiding "zero sum" edits from watchlist and polish it up. Maybe list it at User scripts/List since it might be useful to others (e.g. Help_talk:Watchlist)
 * Add a field for alternative/former names to Template:Infobox magazine (see Template:Infobox television for an example where this is already done)
 * Seems like there's a good argument for doing away with most navboxes which link to all recipients of a particular award, for the same reasons as given for WP:PERFNAV/WP:FILMNAV. Do some searching to see if this has been discussed before. I remember a discussion about navbox overuse more broadly that invoked the example of Meryl Streep (which is pretty heinous). See Category:Awards navigational boxes for many examples of such navboxes.
 * Expand the info about RfA and edit count at RfA inflation based on the discussion/data at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship. Maybe even split off a separate dedicated essay.
 * This line from WP:DABCOMBINE would probably benefit from a few accompanying examples (the way the bullets in the list above have examples): Editorial judgement should be used in deciding whether to combine terms in the ways described above. If a combined disambiguation page would be inconveniently long, it may be better to split the disambiguation page into separate pages.
 * Also, what about hidden categories for dab pages which are split by case/punctuation/diacritic variants?
 * WP:RMT should have (or link to) some kind of closing instructions. In particular, it seems unclear whether someone performing a listed technical request is also expected to do the sort of post-move cleanup steps described at WP:RMCI.
 * WP:EGGCREAM essay
 * Essay/how-to page on determining common name. Ngrams (with caveats about case sensitivity), search engines, etc.
 * First draft here: User:Colin M/Determining commonname
 * Syphilis stuff
 * add more incomings to Premarital medical examination, such as from Marriage law
 * Create an article on Kahn test
 * Expand Premarital medical examination
 * More detail on legislation in countries other than US
 * Criticisms (esp. from physicians who criticized the accuracy of the Wassermann test)
 * More details on tests for diseases other than Syphilis. Esp. add a subsection on HIV testing, which was very briefly legislated in some jurisdictions in the 80s.
 * Add more details on pre-penicillin treatment regimens (with arsenic and bismuth). How were they administered, and over what schedules (seems like they were long!). Info about this could be added to Syphilis, History of syphilis, Arsphenamine, etc.
 * Make an infobox template for neural network models. Some fields that would be useful to have which are not present in software infobox:
 * License of code vs. license/availability of model weights
 * Number of parameters
 * Training data
