[edit] Discussion
So, who's going to help me improve the articles of The Bill then? ( Just The Q ) 19:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Comment
I am in the process of adding new projects to the project directory, including this one. Based on the project page, I have no clear idea what The Bill is, and so I have no idea how to classify the project. I think other people coming to the project page might have similar concerns. You might want to insert a link to whatever it is this project is about on the project page, to clarify this issue. Also, I would suggest possibly consulting the Project Guide for some assistance in how to create a viable and successful project. I also may try to offer any help I can give your project if asked. My first concern right now, though, is finding out how to categorize this project. Please respond on my talk page, as I'll probably see your response first there. Thanks, and good luck with the project. Badbilltucker 18:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Episode guide
I'm not sure Wikipedia is the right place for an entire episode guide for The Bill - there are nearly 2,500 episodes spanning 23 years and I think we'd be fighting a running battle for several years to keep individual episode articles from being deleted. I'm inclined to think this level of detail (episode/character guides) is more suited to Wikia than Wikipedia.
A while ago I did start a Bill wiki on Wikia: http://thebill.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, I haven't had much time to work on it, but your efforts and contributions to create a reference space for The Bill would absolutely be welcomed there and would be in no danger of deletion. I hope I can convince you that is the better place to document and improve information about the show.

:Hmm - I don't see why we can't. Other programmes (see Doctor Who for example) have very extensive episode guides that are full articles. Now I know there are less episodes there, but that doesn't mean that we can't do it for The Bill. I'll bear your comments in mind, and if anyone has any other advice (agree or disagree) I'll listen and then we'll see. For the time being though I'll carry on. Thanks ( Just The Q ) 13:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- By the way, what is Wikia? Does it work the same way as on here exactly? ( Just The Q ) 14:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
- EDIT: On reflection, I've had a look and it does seem like a good idea. If you could give me administrator powers then that would be good, seeing as I'm going to do a lot, and I'd like to transform it into a great informative resource. ( Just The Q ) 15:25, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Bill Wiki
For those of you who are interested and want to join in, I am now working on The Bill Wiki, a separate The Bill-only Wiki Encyclopedia, run along the same lines as Wikipedia. It's located at [1] - come take a look! :)
[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 16:30, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Redirect all character articles
I propose we move all articles from their present state to articles which are titled with just the character's names and not their title.--NeilEvans 19:40, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, It's been a month and nobody has commented either way, so I'll go ahead and move or redirect the articles.--NeilEvans 19:24, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
