Standard naming of biomedical (and other) articles
Summary: Encourage and facilitate usage of the National Library of Medicine's MeSH browser (browser search plugins are available) in order to select canonical terms to be used as titles (when such terms are available). The benefits of this are: 1) reduce the chance of two authors independently writing two articles in parallel on the same content (but with different titles), 2) offer standardized definitions of terms that can be used at the beginning of articles, 3) anticipate common alternative terms that can be set up as redirects when the article is written, 4) facilitate the linking to CZ from other biomedical databases when web 2 arrives. As an example, we have an article titled Concussion of the brain which according to MeSH, might be better titled 'Brain concussion' with a separate page called 'Cerebral concussion' that redirects to this page.

Article Content Request help
Summary: Article Content Request should exist in order for authors to request article assistance on particular topics within a subject. This is not intended to be a request for editorial review, rather, it is a system devised to empower citizens to help out on subjects that they might know about. It is meant to spur activity and input from those who might have knowledge in a discipline.

Naming Conventions for Biographies
Summary: to adopt conventions for the naming of articles about people, living and dead. The basic principle proposed is: In general, an article about a person ought to live at the name at which the person is best-known to educated English-speaking people, with redirects from all common alternates. Significant levels of detail are offered.
