Items is a generic structure that abstracts the most common things that 
*all* modules will need.  So what you said makes sense.  *All* modules 
will have a record in this table as well as their own specific table. So 
, as you noted below, one article will have a record in the item table 
and the article table.  This may seem a bit counter intuitive with a 
one-to-one relationship but does it makes sense why I drew it up like this?

Yeah, I'm not shold on those yet.  We'll need to model the concept of 
'watches'.  Users can 'watch' any item, or any other user.
