Moderators and Adopters

 * Discussion of proposed definition of a stub: "An article that does not completely cover the subject matter, and which could be expended." Lise 15:43, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Discussion of proposed placement of stub template. County pagse currently display the stub at the top.  I would propose that we establish a consistent pattern of placing stub templates at the bottom. Lise 15:43, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Depending on the outcome of discussion, I would propose that moderators and page adopters be encouraged to review all stub articles within their geography/subject, remove the stub designation for any article that does not fit the description, and move stub templates to the bottom of any articles that are stubs.
