You've done a fantastic job so far creating the outline of globalization.

Keep up the excellent work. It's a damn nice addition to the outline collection: you're filling in a gap that badly needs filling. I look forward to reading the outline as you develop it to completion.

For an example of the progression of development of an outline, view the edit history of Outline of cell biology, and look at every 10th version, starting with the first version.

If you need my help with anything concerning outlines, or if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Love the outlines

Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I think your planet outlines are really cool. I have long thought it was a shame that only Wikipedians seem to know about Books or Portals, because they are really great tools for structuring knowledge (while everyone loves diving down the Wikipedia rabbit hole, we could really do with some better content organization). The outlines strike me as a great way to bring that sort content organization to mainspace, where it will actually reach a large number of readers. I notice that I am the first one to edit them besides yourself, and I hope you know that I do so with love.

What a Brilliant Idea Barnstar
Great idea with the outline articles - a great solution to a need for better mainspace-based content structuring! I see from WP:Outlines that you actually came up with this concept some years ago, but this is the first I've noticed it. A2soup (talk) 02:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
