[edit] Welcome to this Project
Well this Project seems to have got started in a small way. Please join in and help. I have started adding the Project tag as above to a few articles and I have made sure the appropriate class and importance categories have been created, and have an explanatory heading. Two problems remain (at best):
- class=Stub and class=Start have to have a capital "S" in spite of a tweak I did to the template which part fixed it. With a small "s", the talk pages shows the right category, but the article is not in it.
- The template does not show the importance tag, although the articles are correctly added to the appropriate importance category.
Anyone who understands the coding of this kind of template better than me, please have a go at fixing these. --Bduke 22:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I seem to have fixed it. Please check it out. --Bduke 22:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Related WikiProjects
Wikipedia:WikiProject Fiji is clearly related. I will draw attention to our Project on their talk page. Do we want to largely avoid Fiji related articles, leaving them to the Fiji Project? Or what kind of relationship to them do we want? --Bduke 22:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think the fellow who created the project said that this project would try to avoiding "stepping on the toes" of any more focused projects out there. However, if a given article relating to Fiji also substantially relates to other areas of Melanesia, that article could probably legitimately be seen as falling within the scope of this project.

[edit] Collabration of the fortnight?
Hi all. I am finally getting involved with this project after some time off on holidays. I was thinking that we should pool together and collaborate on some articles to get them up to better standard. So after this current tsunami in the Solomons (I am sure lots of people will be all over this to keep this article up to date) I was thinking that the details surrounding the 1998 Papua New Guinea earthquake at Aitape, when over 2000 people died, were pretty dire. So I went ahead and have created a dedicated article called 1998 Papua New Guinea earthquake and copied the text from Aitape across. There is quite a bit of info out there regarding this earthquake (old articles on BBC News for example), we just need to fill it out. So anyone else want to get their hands dirty in the name of the first Melanesian collaboration? What do you reckon? (oh and after we collaborate on this article I have plenty of suggestions for the next one - Honiara anyone). Nomadtales 06:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
