History Naming conventions
This has been discussed before but deserves a fuller debate. The central points of contention is whether general articles (e.g France, history) should be called History of France or even French history. The idea is that the keyword should be first in an article such as this, with people searching for France in a general search will see a list of articles, e.g:
etc. I don't really have an opinion on the issue despite the history workgroup handily being my most active one.Denis Cavanagh 11:29, 8 February 2008 (CST)
Improve general heading
The heading "Join! Help us create the world's most trusted encyclopedia and knowledge base. The general public and experts collaborate, using their real names. A new knowledge society." does not seem to be a good example of the kind of writing to be expected here. Is the last sentence a sentence? I propose, but do not know how to accomplish, the head be changed to something like:
"Join us, and help us create the world's most trusted encylopedia and knowedge base. Where the general public and experts collaborate, using our real names, creating a new society of knowledge." Thomas Mandel 02:00, 9 February 2008 (CST)
How about either of these two phrases?
- "Join us, both experts and the general public, using our real names, to help create the world's most trusted encycledia and a new society of knowledge."
or
"Join our new society of knowledge, consisting of experts and the general public, using our real names, and help create the world's most trusted encycledia and knowledge base that if free to world."

Make "beta" tag a real tag
THe "beta" tag seems to be lost. By simply adding a chain linking the tag to the what looks like a key, can find it a home.
