Wikipedia has articles and stubs that require merging. Wikipedia has articles that duplicate references. Wikipedia has articles that are orphans.

Integrate these by organised:

Merging
Cross-referencing
Linking

Let's integrate, let's make it easier to find and maintain data: build it and they will come!

Approach

Lot No 44, Brair Lake

Lot with pines in beautiful Lake District of Nova Scotia Tucked away within the unspoiled surroundings of Nova Scotia’s wonderful Lake District, Briar Lake Lot 44 offers development opportunities abound from a wonderful lakeside location.

Close enough Briar Lake to afford the feeling of waterside living and with an electricity connection already in place, the lot offers the opportunity to create a picturesque log cabin with lakeside views in Nova Scotia. Surrounded by a colorful combination of spruce, pines, birch and maple trees in this Lake District, the property is positioned slightly above the winding private road, affording potential owners with extra privacy.

Connecting the property to within 8 meters of the water’s edge in one direction and with the nearby towns of Yarmouth and Digby in the other, the lot offers easy access to local shops and entertainment facilities.

Parent categories of significant volume should be reasonably sub categorised. Template:CatDiffuse explains this process.
Templates should be used to eliminate redundant content within category articles.
Templates should also be used to link together disparate articles that relate to each other, but may not always be in the same category. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Succession_Box_Standardization/Templates for suitable templates.

Analogies

Integration is white matter: it links together elements for processing.
Integration is government in the sunshine: it keeps things in the open and not obscure.
Integration may require ion thrusters: they're slow, but effective and efficient.
