[edit] Inclusion advice
I can't decide whether we should mention the recent murder in Cherokee Triangle in our article on the neighborhood. I have a hard time judging these things. Any thoughts? I'm mentioning it here because discussion on the talk page there would probably be minimal or nonexistant. CJ article here --W.marsh 21:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- I do not have a strong opinion either way. Unfortunately, the murder will be forgotten by most people in a few days and will only be mentioned again if the shooter is caught and during a trial. On October 12, 2003, Zachary Scarpellini was killed in the 1200 block of Cherokee Road, but even with this recent murder just a block away from the 2003 murder it is hardly mentioned, if mentioned at all. If you decide to include the recent murder, I would consider mentioning the 2003 murder as well. CJ 2003 murder article --Chris24 22:22, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're probably right, and thanks for the link to the 203 story. I just suffer from recentism sometimes. I'll reconsider adding it if anything new and substantial comes out, but for now I don't think I will. --W.marsh 23:26, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 19:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Someone may GRAciously delete this later but I am trying to get ahold of chris 24 regarding this entry. I cannot find a link to his e-mail. while I use Wikipedia for general research in school (unbeleivablely fantastic[how did we ever function with out it] I never go-a-editting. Here's an exception : I am trying to acess the article in the coiurier in the "news bank" but I do not have access. I was wondering if chris 24 could provide a link for me. Desparate.
[edit] New offsite discussion area (if you want it)
Last week, I started the Louisville History & Issues discussion board. This is a "place for Louisville metropolitan area citizens to discuss area history and current issues".
It would be very easy for me to create a new board forum dedicated to WikiProject Louisville. In this external forum, we could perhaps discuss issues related to development of Louisville-related articles more in-depth.
If several of the members here would like to see such a forum on the new board, let me know and I will start it. If not, that's ok, too. I just wanted to make the offer since the resources are there. Cheers! Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Interesting article in the CJ
Just saw this article and thought its content might spawn some interesting editing for users in this WikiProject: Louisvillian had starring role in basketball's birth Acdixon 15:35, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spring cleaning
OK, just completed some long-overdue spring cleaning. I cleaned up the project page and archived a lot of talk. One of the big changes I made was removing the "Focus of the Month". This wasn't receiving much interest, so for now, I disposed of it. If there's interest in the future (or even now), it can easily be brought back. Stevie is the man!
