I am new at this, so any edits are appreciated and thanks for in advance. CodeCarpenter 15:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
- I know we Miamians are pretty disorganized and lazy, heh, but we should get started up on this project, who wants to group up and take on the challenge? -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 22:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Change of Name
Shoudnt this WP be changed to WikiProject:South Florida since it talks about all of South Florida not just Miami. Arigont 21:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I agree that a more generic "WikiProject South Florida" would be better.--JEF 21:58, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I meant for this to be specific to the city, but perhaps there can be a separate one for South Florida. I Saw that there is one for Southern California, but most of these projects are at the city level. CodeCarpenter 16:05, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Historic Pictures
A plea for pictures of US historic places in and around Miami, that is. I'm with WP:NRHP and live in Florida, and am trying to get photos of all the state sites. But being in the northern part of the state, it'll be some time before I can make it down there.
Dade County (I know, but I grew up in Miami in the 60's and 70's, and it'll always be just Dade County to me) has the most sites in the state, over 160. A few articles have pictures, but most don't. I have a checklist of sorts here. Any help y'all can provide would be appreciated. And, hey, an excuse to get away from the computer and out and about in the sun, not a bad thing, doncha know. :) -Ebyabe 20:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Scope of the Project
I think people need to make a decision on what the exact scope of this project is. Is it Miami, the Greater Miami Area, Miami-Dade County, or South Florida? For example, I wrote an article on the Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach, and it was tagged and assessed as part of this project. It's quite clearly on Miami Beach, which is not part of Miami, but is considered to be part of the Greater Miami Area. So what is the boundary going to be? JDS2005 20:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
We are still debating that. Right now, we are focusing on Miami, but I think we all want to enlarge the project to encompass South Florida. The reason I have not changed it is because it is drastic for such a young WikiProject, and it is a hassle.--JEF 03:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Importance
Who rates the importance of these articles and on what criteria are they rated? JDS2005 21:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
The articles are judged based on the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Release Version Criteria and are judged mainly by WikiProject Miami members but anyone can give and update ratings. Right now, I am giving preliminary assessments of all the WikiProject Miami articles, but the ratings can be debated later because they of their subjective nature.--JEF 03:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Subprojects
Hey everyone. I don't want to go messing around with coding that you all don't want messed with.. but its much wiser to transclude a page (like on your subprojects, under "ideal article") using the following syntax: {{article name}}. This way, it will stay up to date and it won't muddy up the coding on your subproject pages. Cheers! -- drumguy8800 C T 06:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
