Stub templates edit
I'm curious as to why the Stub templates were removed from this tiny article by editor Gilabrand? – PAINE ELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 19:16, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- An article of several paragraphs based on three sources and illustrated with two photos is more than a stub.--Geewhiz (talk) 19:43, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Of course, the guideline tells us that things like the reflist and photos cannot be used to judge a stub, but just the text of the article alone. However, it may be so that the Galilee skull, the first hominid find in that area, is the part that gives the Zuttiyeh Cave its notability for inclusion. And there is probably not much more about that to write (I have thought about at least one more item that should be added just while responding to you), so if we can't use Stub templates to bring editors here, would you be averse to my placing some sort of expansion-needed template on the page? There may be other finds from Zuttiyeh that are worthy of note that other more expert editors could include here. – PAINE ELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 20:45, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

- I have never seen stub templates bring editors to any article that I have worked on, and I have worked on thousands. They just litter the page. I don't think people who want to edit find the articles they work on this way. But I agree, the page is far from complete and much work lies ahead on this interesting subjectg.--Geewhiz (talk) 05:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- I don't see how anyone would be able to discern whether or not it was a stub template that brought another editor to a page. I'm told that there are editors who monitor the stub categories of their choice, perhaps of their expertise. It should not be found unlikely that those editors can be brought to a page like this via a stub category and template. I'm not sure if just a general expansion tag should go on this page, or an "Expert needed" maintenance tag. What do you think? – PAINE ELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 19:02, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- On second thought, maybe we should hold off on a maint. tag. You have already exceeded my expectations with your informative edits! – PAINE ELLSWORTH CLIMAX! 19:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
