A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
- Optimism should have a separate page that focuses on the philosophical idea of optimism and distinguishes the philosophical view from "positive thinking" and other everyday uses of the word.
- Philosophy of social science, has some okay points but requires elaboration on Wittgenstein and Winch, perhaps other linguistic critiques, whether logical positivist or postmodernist.
- Exchange value needs to be redone, it shouldn't be under 'Marxist theory'- although it's an important component of Marxist theory it's also vital for all economics. That said the article's weight on Marx is also absurd.
- German Idealism and the articles related to it may need to be rewritten or expanded to avoid undue weight on Arthur Schopenhauer.
- Protected values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
- Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
- Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
- Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
- Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
- Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
- Analytic philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
- Lifeworld A philosophical concept that seems to have fallen exclusively into the hands of the sociologists. Could use some attention; it's a major and complex issue in phenomenology.
- Perception Needs the attention of philosophically minded Wikipedians. This is only the start of an overhaul of perception and related articles.

Category:Nurses
Hi Vince, I sincerely sympathize with your concern, and I'm not entirely surprised that someone was unhappy about that. If there was some way to put it lower down on the page, I assuredly would have done so. FYI, I also added the same link on Category:Physicians, after I discovered that Category:Doctors convicted of murdering their patients was no longer a sub-cat. The problem is that it's name was changed in a recent CFD. With the new name & scope, it no longer works as a sub-cat of either profession, and I'm concerned that readers are unlikely to think to look for it in the parent cat, Category:People in health professions. I myself did not agree with the renaming; I argued for profession-specific categories. I don't think anybody foresaw the problem that would be created by removing the category from its former parent.
Hmmm. Tell you what -- I'm going to revert the edit for now, and try to come up with a better solution. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 13:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Tidal model
Just noticed your nice work on this article, was just wondering about it the other day so I was really glad to see it already created. I've been working on Recovery model and it seems we should get the two to link to each other. EverSince (talk) 17:24, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've had a go at inserting a brief summary of it to Recovery model, which you might want to improve. I put it after the psych rehab points as it seems to come from a professional setting... Cheers EverSince (talk) 12:16, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Or to expand of course... EverSince (talk) 16:00, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
- Good point...kept thinking when adding more different aspects to that section that it was getting quite long and jumbled. Will address it there. EverSince (talk) 18:21, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
About my list on Barack Obama
"I was responsible for tagging your article on articles about Obama..."
Thanks for being up front about it;
and indeed for elaborating your views on the subject.
However, it wasn't an article about articles,
but a list---which are common in wikipedia.
RHaworth deleted it on the grounds that it was redundant, and he showed where to my great satisfaction.
Thanks for the greetings and (otherwise) kind words. ;-)
Cheers,

Hi! I see from your user page that you're a nurse who's interested in health care and mental health. I've been working on the TBI article and wondered if you'd mind taking a look at it, particularly the rehabilitation and complications sections. There's a peer review open, or the talk page would work fine. Surprisingly, there's really little mental health info in the article, I'm afraid I might have introduced an emergency and acute time frame bias. Anyway, if you have time and would like to take a look, great, otherwise no worries. Thanks much! Peace, delldot ∇. 23:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Would appreciate your input on Psychiatric and mental health nursing
Hi mate! I'd like to change the redirect structure on your article, Psychiatric_and_mental_health_nursing, wondered if you could check out my note on the talk page? Basie (talk) 10:07, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Sentiments
That change at Ken Robinson wasn't a nice sentiment - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/My Dear Sweet Heart and Avinash patra. Peridon (talk) 15:30, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
- Interesting. Good job I reverted it. --Vince (talk) 14:21, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
Penge
Since you posted comments on the Penge Wikipedia page about the class of the article, I have been slowly trying to bring it up to scratch. I have now sought a peer review and would like to invite you back home to Penge to see what you think of the improvements and offer any suggestions. One has already come up (the Penge Murders are mentioned a couple of times but they are not directly referenced). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bebofpenge (talk • contribs) 05:26, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
Help us improve wikimeets by filling in the UK Wikimeet survey!
Hello! I'm running a survey to identify the best way to notify Wikimedians about upcoming UK wikimeets (informal, in-person social meetings of Wikimedians), and to see if we can improve UK wikimeets to make them accessible and attractive to more editors and readers. All questions are optional, and it will take about 10 minutes to complete. Please fill it in at:

Disambiguation link notification for April 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Sleaford Mods - Invisible Britain, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
