[edit] WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, January 2008

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue II - January 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Wikipedia. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together.
Articles and Assessment As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject. The following articles reached B-class quality during December: Griffon (roller coaster)  • Magnum XL-200  • Maverick (roller coaster)  • Nemesis (roller coaster)  • SheiKra
Amusement Parks Portal The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections.
Membership News During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
B-class Drive This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone! Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated.

[edit] Dance War: Bruno vs. Carrie Ann

His name is Marquis. Go to http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing?lid=ABCCOMGlobalMenu&lpos=FEP and replay the first show. Go to the final 5 minutes and watch them get introduced and you will clearly see his name spelled Marquis. After that please revert your edit. --Jeanenawhitney (talk) 00:21, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't help it if ABC had a typo. His name is MARQIS without the U. I can send you his high school senior year yearbook picture which states that it is Marqis. You can also check out his high school's website (www.glendalehigh.com) which CLEARLY knows how to spell his name. You can also check out his official website www.qiswalker.com . How much more proof do you need?????? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.83.8.220 (talk) 06:27, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Marqis name spelling

Davehi1, I believe the above anom user above (talk) because he/she cited sources above, but he/she did not do so when making his/her edits in the first place. I thanked him/her for providing the useful information and noted it on the talk page as well as referencing on the article itself. If only they had provided this information in the first place when they made their edit we would have never had these discussions. His name is spelled Marqis and the live show was wrong. Discussion over. Thanks --Jeanenawhitney (talk) 10:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, February 2008

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue III - February 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject!
Articles and Assessment We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class. The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January: Speed Monster  • Arrow Dynamics  • Bolliger & Mabillard
Amusement Parks Portal The Amusement Parks Portal reached featured portal status during January! You can still nominate articles for the selected content sections on the portal.
Membership News During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.
Article Improvement Drive This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information. Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated.
