[edit] U.S. COTW

Please help expand the articles above, list new ones, and list articles about related topics that you'd like to see for the encyclopedia-wide Collaboration of the Week. I'd like to see something about major blizzards or quakes, canals and mountain ranges and lake clusters, maybe even the boundary waters b/t the US and Canada. Particularly scenic places where one of our shutterbugs may have gone.

[edit] Congresspersons

Awhile ago, I tried to jumpstart the Southern CotW, but with little success (it's still largely inactive, I think). There was, however, a lot of support for having a week in which everyone agrees to write a non-stub article on a local congressperson. Especially with a whole bunch of new ones just voted into office, this could be very helpful. With a little promotion, it could be very successful, I think -- what do people here think? Tuf-Kat 03:37, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

Good idea. I just checked the article on my local congresswoman and it was rather short; I updated it with the election results. Antandrus 03:54, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm willing and able to contribute. --Viriditas 08:48, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I've been working on former Congresspersons. Also maybe could we jump start a Western Notice Board?--[[User:Marie Rowley|Marie | Talk]] 04:52, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

heck out United States Congress WikiProject to join in the efforts to improve all Member of Congress articles. --G1076 14:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Public school

Public school Public school (UK)

There is a hot debate taking place over at Talk:Public school (UK) and Talk:Public school regarding the differences between language and culture in Scotland and England, with the Scottish definition being in line with the US, Canadian, Australian and the rest-of-the-world. But a small number of English patriots seem to want to keep the various colonies in their place and have the English definition dominate the two articles.

Personally, I'm not even sure that there should be a separate article on English public schools, as they are simply a sub-topic of private schools, but if there must be an article it should be called Public school (England) and not Public school (UK) (sic).

Anyway, we Scots would appreciate some input from our "co-definitionists" in the USA!--Mais oui! 21:14, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
