Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Years in science
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Looks good. I've been including some things that some might say don't belong on these pages, like Mathematics, Exploration, Aeronautics, and Computer Science. What do you guys think? Gentgeen 20:45, 24 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Sounds fine. They're part of science until we have enough to devote a page to Years in Mathematics, Years in Exploration... etc. Granted, I haven't edited many scientific articles, so I'm not an authority on such matters, but as an outsider, it's great. - user:zanimum
Should there be some sort of link to the Nobel Prize page from each of the years in science? Some might not know about Nobel, so a link might be useful. - user:zanimum
- Done, and added other scientific awards as well, as Nobel only covers Physics, Chemistry, and Medicine (and Literature, Peace, and Economics (disputed), but they're not scientific). Are these the correct awards to include, are there others? I'd like the most significant award for each major dicipline included.
It sounds like a good project. Two points:
- 1. Make sure you consider the smaller sciences (geology, meteorology, etc)
- 2. I trust you are cross referencing the various science timelines

- Yes, any scientific discipline should be included, I just put up the one's I've encountered most while adding years.Gentgeen 03:22, 27 Oct 2003 (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 23:28, 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 16:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
