Proposed topics from before 2011

• Wikipedia:Unreviewed featured articles — Reviewing old Featured articles against the current criteria.
• Articles vs. lists — 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 — Possible writer, Cirt.
• WP:FCDW/OtherWikis — Featured content on other language wikis.
