== Stub query ==

In particular with [[Richard Blumenthal]]... I personally still think it's a stub as it only covers a mere fraction of the man's career and what you could talk about. I'd like to put it back and have people expand it... should I do this? - [[User:Ta bu shi da yu|Ta bu shi da yu]] 11:58, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

: You mean put the <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> tag back?  I don't think it deserves one; there's no way an article that long (and that good) is a "stub" according to the definition on [[Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub]].  A stub is a mere placeholder for what will eventually become a real article; [[Richard Blumenthal]] is a real article, just one that could be elaborated on (like many of our other real articles).  People are still encouraged to expand articles even in the absence of any tags that indicate they're in critical need of attention.  If you want to try to draw attention to it, you could mention it on your User page or list it on [[Wikipedia:Peer review]].

:: Also try listing the article [[Wikipedia:Requests for expansion|Requests for expansion]], and/or add the [[:Category:Requests for expansion]] tag.  Good luck!  [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine]] | [[User_talk:CatherineMunro|talk]] 21:38, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
