== Open tasks ==
<!-- What *specific* things need to be done.  Lists of articles to be worked on are a good start. -->
{{To do}}
* [[Anglophobia]]: needs input on whether what I have added ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anglophobia&oldid=290071633|diff]]) should remain in this article, or needs to be changed in some way. I'd also appreciate it if someone could add material about Anglophobia outside the United Kingdom.
* [[Violence against Indians in Australia controversy]] needs help [[User:Wakelamp|Wakelamp]] ([[User talk:Wakelamp|talk]]) 21:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
* [[Xenophobia]] is a highly trafficked/viewed article which has very little information on it. I started to add some examples of specific countries/regions (EU, Japan and U.S.) but I could really use some help. This seems to be a discrimination phenomena pervasive across the world including in developing/ middle income countries (e.g. Russia, South Africa, Zambia, China, Gulf states, Iran, Mexico, Argentina, you name it).[[user:officialguide|officialguide]]11:24, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
* [[OK Boomer]] needs clarification on whether the term represents an [[ageist]] dismissal based on age-related stereotypes.

*[[Jimmie Lee Jackson]]  was a young civil rights protestor who was murdered by an Alabama State Trooper in 1965. Jackson's death was among the abuses of African Americans that inspired the Selma to Montgomery marches, an important event in the American Civil Rights movement.
*[[race and intelligence]] Article appears to be an example of modern day [[scientific racism]] and should be reformulated ASAP given it's very non neutral and racism inducing method of presentation. First, the title is potentially presumption inducing (confuses description with potential cause, the word "race" is both one among many alternative ways of describing the issue and it's also a potential cause). The article and its defenders exclude criticisms of "intelligence research" and exclude criticisms of IQ testing. There is already a Wikipedia policy against "and" in an article's title but the problems with the title and article are even worse. The article should be totally reformulated at [[IQ controversy]] since the validity and implications of IQ testing are disputed and that forms the foundation of "intelligence research".
*[[Feminization of poverty]] (topical?)
*[[European people]] seems to be about the [[White race]], created after the [[White people]] article was locked because of disputes.
*[[Ghetto benches]]. An article about segregated seating for Jews in pre-WW II Polish universities

*[[Black flight]] - No sources, dubious claims, see the talk page there.
