  26. I'd like to add myself to this list, as I spend far too much time with the various *fD's, "proposed policies" etc. I am surprised, however, that nobody seems to have noticed the slightly paradoxical effort herein. What we have is a meta-activity aimed at reducing time spent on meta-activities. Sigh. Avriette 16:11, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm... is it just me, or is this WikiProject lacking in its efforts to complete its goal "to coordinate efforts to write an encyclopedia"? Maybe we should do some... stuff? Like... you know...

Anyone agree? Disagree? Trevdna 19:24, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


How about our to-do list is to refrain from personal attacks, edit wars, or other activities that distract from the encyclopedic process? --D-Day 20:03, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Well, I did that, but I would pefer this becomes a "real" WikiProject, but (it looks like) most of these people just signed up for fun (and the spiffy userbox), so I guess we shouldn't push something on them they didn't expect. (If I'm wrong, please let me know.) Oh well... --Trevdna 00:31, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
Maybe that'd be WikiProject Encyclopedia. This is just about the Wikipedians, it seems. :^) – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 23:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Touché. What if we became collaborated with Pushing to 1.0, or the editorial team associated with it? --Trevdna 04:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
But.. that wouldn't be writing an encyclopedia. Alas! :/ -Silence 13:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Oh dear, rebels without a cause, a committee without a mandate... :) Forget this and write articles. Job done! --kingboyk 18:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
