[edit] Naming convention for African cities
I have proposed a naming convention for African cities at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (city names)#Convention for Africa. It basically restates current practice, but I would particularly appreciate any comments on the convention as it regards South Africa. Warofdreams 15:18, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
[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 15:03, 25 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 20:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flag of South Africa FAR
Flag of South Africa 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) 20:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ministries or Departments?
On Wikipedia, the only designation for the member organizations of the South African Cabinet is "ministries", but the websites of these bureaus designate themselves as "departments". Should they be renamed accordingly? In fact, how long have they been known as "departments" rather than "ministries?" --Toussaint 14:19, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Revival?
Anyone interested in reviving this WikiProject? My particular slant is South African history, but it seems a shame that SA coverage more generally is so neglected. Surely there must be a few South Africans, or people interested in South Africa, around?

- I am very interested in being involved with this WikiProject! I have interest in both SA History and current SA coverage. I have done work on Desmond Tutu, Cape Town, Grahamstown, and Xhosa Wars among others and have created Ben Maclennan and Bill B. Burnett.--Lmcelhiney 17:00, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
