[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 14:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] disambiguation?
I've started going through some disambiguation pages and editing pages that link to them, so that instead they link to the relevant article. is this the sort of thing covered by your project or should I look elsewhere? (to see more clearly what I mean, my user page has examples) yours, User24 02:30, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help for Version 0.5
Hi, we're putting together the final collection for Wikipedia:Version 0.5, an offline release of Wikipedia. We want to include some basic redirects on the CD (probably as a lookup table), for example Los Angeles redirecting to Los Angeles, California. Does anyone here know how to pull out only redirects from the "What links here" selection? I realise that you can find them easily if there are only a few, but for something like China my AWB just hangs up, there are so many articles in "What links here". We have 2000 articles to go through (though only a few will be given redirects), and many of them are heavily linked to. We can't scroll through thousands of pages looking, is there some way to pull out only redirects using MediaWiki or AWB? Thanks, Walkerma 17:50, 14 November 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 19:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
