[edit] Archive

Does anyone mind if I archive the proposals up to April 1? --Yarnalgo 04:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes. My project had two more people sign up in the past day. Although, I'll probably start the project, but I'd like a few more days. Although, if you archive them, could you keep mine up? Then I have no problem with it. Virginia Highways.
Go ahead. --MPD01605 23:59, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Can we archive started wikiprojects again? It sure will make this page shorter. íslenska hurikein #12 (samtal) 23:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Feel free! Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 22:00, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

What is the proper archive method for this page? The article says to just delete projects that have started, is that the current practice or are they supposed to be copied elsewhere? I don't mind doing the work so long as I know what to do.  Argash  |  talk  |  contribs  11:54, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I think just removing them once active is a good policy. We really don't need to have an archive page for them. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 12:38, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Top or bottom

I see some proposals being added to the top of the list and some to the bottom of the list. Perhaps some consistency is warranted? There needs to be an explicit notice at the top of the page saying where to add new proposals. --StuffOfInterest 13:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

As far as I know, newest always goes on the bottom. mwazzap 06:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Questions

I'm interested in creating a proposal for a WikiProject devoted to volcanoes. I'm not sure if I can propose it because I'm what you Wikipedians call anons. Also, I'm not sure if there's another WikiProject out there that relates to volcanoes, so can I propose a Volcano WikiProject even though I'm an anonymous user? 74.225.117.237 17:02, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any rule prohibiting it though since the initial project page is supposed to be created as a sub page of your user page you might run into difficulty since you don't have a user page.  Argash  |  talk  |  contribs  20:27, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, I suggest making a username. íslenskur fellibylur #12 (samtal) 23:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, if you're that involved in Wikipedia that you wish to create a WikiProject, why not make a username? --MPD01605 (T / C) 00:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Ya - you can remain just as anonymous with a username as without (without, people'll see your IP, arguably making you less anonymous) so I'd recommend just creating an account. --Tim4christ17 06:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oops

I just made a Wikiproject Korea. But I didn't know that there was this project page? What should I do? Good friend100 18:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

  • That's okay. The purpose of this page is just to tell if there's interest. That's all. Smartyshoe 19:29, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Added a requesting projects section

I hope that it meets with the approval of the rest of you that I have added a section to the page regarding requesting projects. There are probably a number of fields which are not yet covered by an existing project which seem to call for the creation of one. If any of you believe that this is an inappropriate use of this page, however, please feel free to remove the section. Thank you. Badbilltucker 18:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject problem

Er.......

I was proposing to set up the WikiProject of Transport around Edinburgh and Glasgow but the proposal has already gone wrong. I was hoping to set this up for the management of 5 systems, 3 of which were rapid transit but now 've got editors thinking this will cover the Scottish rail network plus motorways, ferries and everything else associated. Perhaps i should have chosen a better title but am not sure what to do now, or if i should get rid of my proposal...

[edit] Page re-structure

If I improve this page to the process structure similar to WP:Editor review, would anyone oppose to that? AQu01rius (User • Talk) 04:16, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

One disadvantage of transcluding many subpages is that you need to watchlist more pages to follow what is going on. I personally think it is not necessary, as this page gets only 100 edits per week. Kusma (討論) 08:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
