[edit] editing for wikiproject atheism
HI JMcDermott, I nabbed this nifty info box from the Digimon wikiproject, we could turn it into a good tool. Right now it has digimon stuff on it, but that can give us ideas, and help us out. Heres the template: [[1]]. If you could tell as many people as possible, that would be great. Perhaps we could replace the existing one at some point. Somerset219 08:01, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
- hey hey, I noticed the new "template", it's a great template, however i think it would be best to consolidate everything into a "one size fits all" template, like the one being worked on in my sandbox. Considering it will be replacing the other ones. Please help with the above template so we may get things better organized. I know you mean well but the more obscure templates we make, the harder to organize all the info. Its one thing with a user box, It tends to be a little more touchy with an article template. At any rate, you're obviously anxious to help, please do, I offer my sandbox, but you could also use yours, perhaps collaborate, and then edit an awesome one! Thanks!

[edit] Wikipedia:Peer review/Socialist Studies (1989)
I note from Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics that you're a member of WikiProjects Politics and are based in the UK. I was wondering if you might be able to contribute to a peer review of Socialist Studies, a political group in the UK active since 1991. The request for peer review can be found at Wikipedia:Peer review/Socialist Studies (1989). —Psychonaut 05:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Rock music invitation
Hello WikiProject Alternative music member.
WikiProject Alternative music, in my eyes, has proved to be successful "improving the encyclopaedic coverage of articles relating to alternative rock", and improving their quality as well. One specific example I have witnessed is The Smashing Pumpkins article. The page has gone from a mediocre work, to GA status, to FA nomination. Only appropriate, as the Pumpkins are undeniably one of the most influential alternative rock bands on the 1990's and beyond.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently ressurected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and not only be a member of alternative Wikipedians, but the rockin' ones as well.
Rock on.

[edit] WikiProject Alternative music and sources
As part of the Alternative music WikiProject, we're gathering a list of sources on this page. Could you take a look and perhaps add any written references you have access to? Thanks! CloudNine 09:59, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
