[edit] Initial Intentions

Hello fellow Wikipedians. I have set up some handy little templates to try and standardize the little surfing information there is. At the time of writing this, there is pretty much nothing in relation to the Association of Surfing Professionals. There is around 5-6 pages, all with not much more than a few sentences, and it is in disarray. My desired tasks ahead (now that I have created some templates and standards) are to collaborate information and display a quality page on the Association of Surfing Professionals. I want it to include the ASP World Tour, World Championship Tours, and the WQS. I also want to go over other existing articles, such as the World surfing champions, and not only create a more orderly standard, but intertwine these pages with the Association of Surfing Professionals. Although I am not all that knowledgable in the are of surfing (although I am an Australian, and do surf occasionally, at a severe beginner level), I do indeed believe I can help with the sports coverage on Wikipedia.

I intend to set about the above in the coming days and weeks. After the initial bulk is done, I will move onto surfer profiles (which is already set up for anyone to take part, see main page) and then eventually onto ASP World Tour event pages. I invite anybody to help out, all are not only welcome, but encouraged. Please use this page to discuss your views and put in your input, as Wikipedia belongs to everybody.

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
