[edit] Inactive?
Can the project be inactive? I note that it has received edits today. Is it alive and kicking? What is the plan to produce fair, object and neutral (i.e. NPOV from either 'side') articles, free from all the very opinionated wrangling that has been a feature hitherto? I believe WP is incomplete without articles on CAM. However, there's no point in spending time on the articles if they disappear under a mire of adversarial editing. - Ballista 08:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- The project is not inactive as long as people edit articles on Alternative Medicine. A few good places to start would be the Glossary of alternative medicine and Category:Alternative medicine stubs.
- As the original founder of this project, I have perfected these articles on my own web site.
- The current task of this WikiProject is to locate lost articles on Alternative medicine and classify them publically as such. Put them in :Glossary of alternative medicine and in appropriate categories. Next, develop the articles in Category:Alternative medicine stubs.
- I am planning on writing an article on stress from an alternative medicine perspective that wont be deleted. -- John Gohde 04:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

- "We may have to create a large number of duplicate articles, such as Body work (alternative medicine) which is a duplicate copy of Massage. Perhaps, for example, Wellness (alternative medicine) might be a better way to go than trying to clean up Wellness?" [1] 12 May 2004

- This task was done successfully, quite a long time ago. So, this WikiProject does in fact live on and on ... All you have to do is write new articles. John Gohde 04:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Project directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 00:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[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 18:12, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
