[edit] Wikiproject Golf

Do you have any templates for the course articles? I would be willing to help out if I had some direction. Sven Erixon 23:05, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm trying to figure out how to make a template, if anyone could help, give me a yell here. Thanks, Grover 07:40, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Try visiting the WikiProject Council. There is lots of material on setting up a project and its different components. --Aguerriero (talk) 19:09, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Grover, thanks for your efforts in establishing and "getting the ball rolling" in respect to Wikiproject Golf. Several months ago, I proposed on Wikiproject Golfers that we select one of our golfer bio articles and try to get it elevated to featured status. I see where you and others have proposed a similar idea on Wikiproject Golf. I am also interested in sharks and collaborated with several other shark editors in getting one of our articles elevated to featured status (Oceanic whitetip shark). I think the first step is deciding which golf related article to select. Take a look at my proposal on Wikiproject Golfers. I'll let you take the lead on developing a similar proposal on Wikiproject Golf because the subject of golf is more comprehensive than just Golfer bio's that I had addressed earlier. --Hokeman 16:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

Hi, thanks for your comments on Moray Golf Course. I'll be beefing up this article shortly but I'm not sure that the infobox is neccessarily the best design nor if it contains all the relevant items. If some sort of concensus could be obtained then I will try and get a template for it. Thanks again --Bill Reid | Talk 08:08, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Golf

Thanks very much for updating the selected article; I've let the portal sit dormant for much too long. I'll be updating the news in the next day or two and the DYK and selected items in the next several days, and thereafter will drop you another note in order that I might see whether you should be interested in assuming responsibility for updating any or all of the sundry portal components. Whilst one should, of course, always be bold and update pages across any namespace where necessary, and whilst one surely does not own any particular page, it often happens that portals are best served where one user serves as a principal editor, largely because it is generally best that all sections (save that for the news) be updated contemporaneously and inasmuch as such sections are ideally stylistically similar (I, for example, rewrite every selected article, biography, and image, such that they are [prolixly] distinct). Although I've begun work on the news section, the DYK, and the selected bio, I haven't anything prepared for the update to be undertaken in mid- to late January (there seems, IMHO, to be a consensus toward the proposition that each selected item should be updated monthly, but portals sometimes fall into disrepair and are updated much less frequently; see, e.g., my dereliction relative to this one!), and so your assuming some or all tasks would be quite great. In any event, I'll drop you a more substantive note sometime soon... :) Joe 18:25, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

On that note, when I do update the news directly, I will likely rework the text of the selected image and article, about which I hope you won't mind. I'll surely preserve your choices, but I think it always appropriate that a selected image, article, or biography be rewritten in order that a reader happening upon it should be presented with a wider array of quality links he/she might then follow to articles he/she might elect to edit (see, for example, the difference between the portal version of the Stableford article and its instant version). In any case, I'll finish work on the various sections in a day or two and will then, as promised, drop by once more in order that we might collaborate straightaway. Cheers in the meanwhile, Joe 06:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Week

The best existing proposal I can, in my own limited way, think of for the previously discussed "appreciation week" can now be found at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week#Wikipedia Week. Any comments or responses would be more than welcome. Badbilltucker 15:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Newsletter

I thought I would give some feedback. I like the newsletter idea, and what was in the first one was informative and useful. Doing a monthly newsletter is a good idea to keep everyone up to speed. Thanks! - • The Giant Puffin • 13:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the compliment

Thanks for mentioning that the infobox on Jack Nicklaus's page looks pretty good on Wikiproject Golf. I had created that version for other players (ie Arnold Palmer, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Gary Player) because I felt it was more organized and better especially for retired/deceased golfers.

[edit] Nicklaus Assessment

Grover - I think the Nicklaus article probably is reaching high B or higher than B status, but WP:Bio policy is no listing higher than B until an article earns GA. So my suggestion - nominate it! Mocko13 01:26, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanking the Giant Puffin

You thanked him twice on the newsletter, but all he did was nominate the article. Tewapack, you, and I are the ones who actively contributed to the article and did all the researching and formatting. Doesn't really matter though, The Giant Puffin's a good lad.Supertigerman 16:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kiama Golf Club

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Kiama Golf Club, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Eastmain 19:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
