Examples

[edit]

For anyone making a list, and who wants to make a really quality list, perhaps you might examine and role-model some of the lists contained in the following pages:

Superfund Project

[edit]

This is a project to create a list of Superfund sites, and then create the articles relating to those 1000+ sites so that people can learn about the designated Superfund sites in The United States. If you would like to help contribute, or help the project gain momentum, others would appreciate it. --Remi 21:07, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Breaking it up

[edit]

Since there are about 1200 sites, perhaps it would be better to divide them up by state (i.e. List of Superfund sites in California). What does the community think? --Remi 21:14, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created a temporary list of potential pages:

After completing this list, I think it might confuse readers. To figure out best practices, perhaps lists of established quality should be examined for length, and it should be seen whether any other quality lists have 1100+ entries. If other lists can be found with extensive listings then perhaps this list should be kept the way it is (on one page); however, if no lists of quality can be found on Wikipedia with extensive length, then the list should be divided up by states, as shown here. Please feel free to comment, change things, or add suggestions. --Remi 00:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that dividing the list into separate articles by state is the best idea. See List of hospitals in the United States. I also added the US territories and District of Columbia, leaving out the former US Territory - Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. Finally, I moved the page to the more accurate List of Superfund sites in the United States since the list includes DC and territories, which are not states. Cmcnicoll 05:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
