Grocery store
Grocery store – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 629 daily hits
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gral.madariaga_1918.jpg/200px-Gral.madariaga_1918.jpg)
- There are several things that could be improved in this article. One is the coverage in Grocery store#Companies. Another is Grocery store#Types. I'm sure there is a lot more information that could be added to that section, especially health food stores and on-line companies. There is at least one "citation needed" tag.
Note: I was unable to get the Number of Daily Hits figure. The little blue circle kept spinning.– Corinne (talk) 00:05, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Braille embosser
Braille embosser – (page view stats • • talk • history)
- Could be improved. Currently has no images. Probably important in the case of those who rely on Braille in computer use. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 08:09, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- Support per nom. – Corinne (talk) 02:19, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support – per nom. There should be dozens of solid references to build it out with. It will probably go 5x in one week of our efforts. Cheers!

Geography
Orinoco
Orinoco – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 342 daily hits
- The article seems rather short for a major South American river. Also, the beginning of he article mentions a huge number of flora and fauna, but the article barely has two short paragraphs on Ecology. An article that gets 342 views per day ought to be better than this. – Corinne (talk) 03:19, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Caatinga
Caatinga – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 51 daily hits
- This interesting article is on a region of Brazil. It has enough material and images to be on its way to a good article, but it needs work. There have been two tags at the top of the article since 2014. Rothorpe might be able to determine what can be added from the Portuguese WP, and I can help. – Corinne (talk) 03:39, 24 March 2016 (UTC) It looks like the article needs some citations. – Corinne (talk) 03:40, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support – per nom. As an aside, Caatinga is also the name of the vegetation that gives the region its name. Anybody with the right subscription to The Wikipedia Library should be able to pitch in with some solid references. Cheers!

Genocide Convention
Genocide Convention – (page view stats • • talk • history) - ~198 daily hits
- The Article is about an Important UN convention that defined genocide in legal terms in 1948, and is the culmination of years of campaigning by lawyer Raphael Lemkin. It was the first attempt to recognize that genocide is a crime by countries of the world. Vinegarymass911 (talk) 05:09, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Support per nom. I think more material could be found to add to this article. – Corinne (talk) 02:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 245 daily hits
- Besides the strange title – and, believe it or not, there is a discussion of this right in the lead – there are several tags that have been there for several years. The article gets quite a few daily views, so I think the article could, and should, be improved. – Corinne (talk) 01:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Havasupai
Havasupai – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 200 daily hits
- This article gets a respectable 200 hits per day yet has been tagged since 2013:
- Add a map
- Add a section on the indigenous religion, if proper sources can be found
- Gather sources and place in-line citations in the article.
It is a breathtaking 800-year old American Indian settlement (now a reservation), a spur canyon of the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, that has gone through some dramatic turmoil and recovery. Its canyon sheer walls make it only accessible by foot, horseback, mule, or helicopter (in emergencies only). They do have a Post Office and a mounted police force. It is a place, a people, a culture, a religion, and a language. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk}

Native American contributions
Native American contributions – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 75 daily hits
- This list is rated at Talk:Native American contributions as of high importance. It has had a tag at the top of the list since 2007. It has quite a few red-linked items. I think some of the red-links can be fixed, items added, and the list filled out a bit. – Corinne (talk) 01:13, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

Soba Choko
Soba Choko – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 3 daily hits
- I know this article doesn't get many views, but Wikipedia will be a richer encyclopedia if we have well-written, well-sourced articles on things like art history and the decorative arts. This article will never be improved if we don't do it. There have been several tags at the top of the article for a while. – Corinne (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support – per nom. Nice find. Needs improvement. Anybody with the right subscription to one of the 50+ databases in The Wikipedia Library should be able to pitch in with some solid references to improve this article that is already off to a great start. Cheers!

List of German painters
List of German painters – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 93 daily hits
- The tags at the top of the article indicate several problems. Also, there are quite a few names in red (in spite of the warning at the top of the page in edit mode that says all names must have articles and those without an article will be removed). Corinne (talk) 02:15, 28 February 2016 (UTC) I think the list could be updated with more names of German painters. – Corinne (talk) 02:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

- Support – per nom. Nice find. For one thing we can use the
{{ill}}
interlanguage-link template to link to existing articles on other language sites (probably the German Wikipedia site). Plus, anybody with the right subscriptions to any of the 50+ databases in The Wikipedia Library should be able to pitch in with some solid references to expand and bluelink this article.

Fado
Fado – (page view stats • • talk • history) - 365 daily hits
- The article contains a lot of information and some good images, but it lacks citations and has no audio file. The layout could probably also be improved. – Corinne (talk) 02:18, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
- Support – per nom. Nice find. Definitely needs our help. Any TAFI folks with the right subscription to any of the 50+ databases in The Wikipedia Library should be able to pitch in with some solid references to improve this article. Cheers!
