[edit] Listing of project and Guide

Hi. Thought you might like to know that your project is now listed on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Culture, so more people might find out about it now. Also, they have a Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide, which might help you set up the project's page, goals, and methods more clearly, hopefully drawing additional members as a result. Best of luck with the project. Badbilltucker 20:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Since my Nickelodeon WikiProject is already existing, I suggest that we merge the two, but keep this title. - A Link to the Past (talk) 19:22, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Me too. 1ne 18:41, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
So...are we merging? 1ne 07:49, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Eventually. We're trying to think of what to work on first. - A Link to the Past (talk) 22:21, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, I like the idea. I'll help on the project if you need me. --Glitch Freak

Oh, why don't you work on the shows in ABC order? That way, we can keep track of the shows we still need to work on, via the list at the bottom of the Nick.com page. I could copy the list and keep track easily. --Glitch Freak

[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 13:51, 24 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 16:31, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template placement

Hi, I've noticed today that the nickelodeon wikiproject template has been placed on both the article and discussion pages of various nicktoons cartoons (invader zim, hey arnold etc.). Is it policy to put wikiproject templates into the actual articles? Because I think it would be better off keeping it just to the discussion page as it's looks neater. --BillPP (talk) 13:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

One more thing completely unrelated to my question but I noticed that with your templates that the Fairly Odd Parents template has the show title hard coded into it rather than passed as a parameter. I quickly made this template Template:Nickelodeon episode which allows passing of the show's name into it so it will work with any Nick TV show.
Example:

WikiProject Nickelodeon is an episode of Invader Zim, so is within the scope of WikiProject Nickelodeon. WikiProject Nickelodeon is dedicated to expanding the coverage of Nickelodeon.

Code: {{Nickelodeon episode|showtitle=Invader Zim}}

BillPP (talk) 13:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Ok I'm answering my own question here but I've read up on the project banner section of the WikiProject guide and it says that the banner should be placed on the talk page of the articles in the scope of the project. So I'll just go ahead and remove the ones from the articles. --BillPP (talk) 01:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment scale

I've just launched the new assessment scale. Please rate articles as you skimp along, because less than half of out 500 articles have been assessed. — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 21:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Nickelodeon and Nickelodeon Shows

Guys, Nickelodeon Shows was around first and has the same purpose as this WikiProject. Why don't we merge them? 1ne 18:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but we keep this name. We could even delete that project because it's considered "inactive" by the WikiProject Directory. — JuWiki (Talk<>Resources)
Who's going to be "President" or "Manager", though? 1ne 01:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
There's no president or manager in a WikiProject. The person who created the project doesn't own the project. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. That would be like one person owning the whole project. People can get power mad. Glitch Freak 19:59 26 March 2007

[edit] Bot

Should we try to request a bot to assess our articles? We have 250+ articles that haven't been assessed... — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 23:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I can do that easily. I mean, I've assessed many more articles than that. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help needed

Help is needed in taming kid-stuff on talk pages and some really nasty vandalism. Since The Naked Brothers Band (TV series) premiered, vandalism to Michael Wolff has picked up, and there's been some nasty vandalism at either Nat Wolff or Alex Wolff (can't remember which). Since Michael Wolff has Tourette syndrome, I'd appreciate any help Project members can give in watchlisting and vandal patrolling the kids' articles, particularly from the nasty TS jokes. I also need help on the talk pages. Thanks, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
