Prospectus
- This page may need to function more like a "portal" than a narrative article. --Dystopos 17:55, 9 February 2012 (PST)
- I envision it something like the Birmingham Campaign, where short summaries are given with either Template:Main links at the top of sections or inline links provide access to more detailed articles. In the case of really big topics, like the civil rights struggle, we may also want to include the relevant template at the bottom of that section. Mainly, though, I figured we needed something more comprehensive than would comfortably fit within the Birmingham article, which has a pretty wimpy history section right now. I thought providing a link here might inspire someone someday in the future. --Lkseitz 09:10, 10 February 2012 (PST)
- I always have trouble getting on the "big ones", and this is the big daddy of big ones. In some ways, Bhamwiki itself is the "History of Birmingham" article. --Dystopos 16:35, 10 February 2012 (PST)
- Yeah, me, too. And I'm in no hurry to write this one, but I think it needs to be done. Eventually. I figured I'd abuse your red link policy to make a note of it. Birmingham is our flagship article, so I thought it could use some sprucing up, and the idea for this occurred to me as I was looking into it. --Lkseitz 18:21, 10 February 2012 (PST)--Lkseitz 18:21, 10 February 2012 (PST)
