[edit] Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
  • User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
  • User:Badbilltucker/Science 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 to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. 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.

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now moved the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 13:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article suggestion

I'm not very familiar with how these projects work, so I don't know if I can go ahead and add the banner code to articles that I feel are appropriate, or if I'm expected to suggest articles here and leave it up to a vote, or something like that. Anyway, the point of this babbling is that I think that the O RLY? article is a prime candiate for this sort of thing. It's probably not "good article" material, but the subject matter is definitely relevant. - Ugliness Man 19:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Overlap WikiProject (Merge?)

I just stumbled upon this WikiProject while tagging articles for the Internet pop culture WikiProject. It seems to me that the two projects have enough overlap to warrant a potential merge. Both projects suffer from a lack of participants (just over a dozen on WP:IPC; even fewer on this one) and putting everyone's heads together might get a lot more accomplished.

[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 16:41, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Exploding whale FAR

Exploding whale has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:15, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Merge

I have now officially proposed a merge between WikiProject Internet culture and WikiProject Internet pop culture as both projects cover the same thing. I understand that IPC has more members, but this name makes the scope more broad and (hopefully) there will be less disputes over what is in and what is out of the scope (ie. "That wasn't popular! I have never even heard of it!"). Greeves (talk • contribs) 15:08, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merged

I've merged Wikipedia:WikiProject Internet pop culture into Wikipedia:WikiProject Internet culture, and updated lots of the project page. Don't hesitate to edit the project page, to do box and whatever else as you like. --h2g2bob 02:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment scale

I've added an assessment scale to Template:WP Internet culture. This is basically a rip of Wikiproject Books' (and many other WikiProjects') article scale. This may help identify articles which need to be improved. --h2g2bob 03:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New article

  • New article - Scieno Sitter, let me know what you think on the talk page. Heavily sourced. Thanks for your time. Smee 06:40, 9 March 2007 (UTC).
    Good job, Smee - perhaps you should suggest it for good article review? --h2g2bob 20:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Internet brigades

I'm not quite sure if this is within the scope of this project, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

Some help is needed in making a potential article over here - about the alleged flooding of the internet with information by secret police used by a few governments (currently the Russians and the Chinese have been alleged of doing this). Some notable sources are available in the references section.

The original article (which was very problematic and was deleted) was purely based on the FSB allegations, and an attempt is being made to make the future potential article more international. It is currently up for deletion review over here, where there is a tie of votes (9 to 9) between those who endorse its deletion and those who want it overturned and relisted.

This is a very controversial topic, but in my view there seem to be enough notable sources to make a decent article out of it, so I hope that someone here may be able to help. Esn 01:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
