Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Boneyard/Featured content dispatch workshop

Proposed topics from before 2011

 * Unreviewed featured articles &mdash; Reviewing old Featured articles against the current criteria.
 * Articles vs. lists &mdash; how to distinguish, differences and similiarities between two, when to submit an article to FAC vs FLC
 * Is it possible to teach grammar and punctuation in a dispatch? Could we come up with a list of five or ten common writing errors and write about them in an entertaining style (e.g. Eats, Shoots and Leaves)? We could advertise Tony1's writing guide. [Tony notes: Nice of you to suggest advertising it, but it's not perfect and I don't want people to resent it, so like to play it down. Yes, I think if humour can be used effectively, it could work, although a difficult topic. Does anyone collect prose bloopers, like, embarrassing ones?] TONY   (talk)  15:24, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I have just the sort of thing from my students' papers, but I'm not sure I can publish them online. Perhaps I can paraphrase or adapt them? Awadewit (talk) 15:31, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
 * A possible candidate for the prose blooper file :) Maralia (talk) 03:44, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Difficulties posed in bringing technical topics to featured status (example)
 * Featured portals &mdash; Possible writer, Cirt.
 * WP:FCDW/OtherWikis &mdash; Featured content on other language wikis.
