Top-priority article tasks
Nominate improved or new aricles for Good Article status (then work towards Featured Article)
Improve edit
- Sega Pinball, The Addams Family (pinball) and Twilight Zone (pinball)
- Monster Bash (pinball), Attack from Mars, and Revenge from Mars, three of the most popular machines of the last 20 years.
Create edit
- Missing articles of pinball manufacturers, see List of pinball manufacturers
- A The Pinball Circus article (instead of redirect) . Sources: [1], [2], [3], [4],[5], or an article about the remake Circus Maximus (pinball) when released sources: [6], [7]
Top-priority admin tasks
- Find and cite industry and reviewer sources. The number 1 way to prevent article (especially stub) deletion at WP:AFD is to cite 2 or more sources (other than blogs or other personal homepages). There must be some kind of magazine, or major online site (GameSpy for pinball?). It needs to be editorially controlled, i.e. not a wiki or other community-built tertiary source.
General article tasks
- Split up any article containing more than one topic into separate articles. Examples include: O. D. Jennings, Stern (game company) and at least one game article.
- Expand existing pinball stubs.
- Improve main pinball article.
- Find images to use for existing articles.
- Add more machines with articles already to List of pinball machines, and remove all redlinks from that page.
- Disambiguate (via DAB pages or hatnotes) articles to account for existing pinball articles. Example: Judge Dredd.
- Create more manufacturer articles, with at least 2 sources
- Create more designer/industry-person articles, with at least 2 sources.
- Create more tournament/league/organization/event articles, with at least 2 sources
- Low priority: Make more pinball machine stubs. Use data at IPDB to create new pages, but include another non-wiki, non-forum, non-user-contrib-database source. Improving existing stubs is more important.
- Low priority: Create redirects for slightly-typo'd article names
- Lowest priority: Start creating "YEAR in pinball" lists (e.g. 1995 in pinball), and begin changing links appropriately to point to them
General admin tasks
- Develop criteria for "the ideal pinball article". Start with our best articles as models.
- Create a "beginner's guide to making a new pinball machine stub" page
- Continue assessing existing articles for quality, importance
