[edit] Infobox

I'll take a crack at an InfoBox. -- Chris 14:32, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Started - stole the code from Computer & video games Infobox -- Chris 14:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Definitely needs work. Will continue when I return to the office. Ideas for the fields? -- Chris 14:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

{{Infobox .NET}}

Usage:

{{Infobox .NET| title = Something.NET
|image = [[Image:Microsoft dotNET Logo.jpg|center|200px|Microsoft .NET]]
|developer = X
|released = X 
|version = X
|genre = X
|platforms = X
|requirements = X
}}

Template:Infobox .NET

Great job Chris. I think some of the fields can be removed, it looks so heavy and some fields are not necessary as "Input", "Media", "Designer", "Publisher" (as in our case is the same as the developer). I already did the same yesterday on the .NET article. have a look at it. Waiting for your feedback. -- Svest 17:08, September 1, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™
Thanks. Yah, it was just a direct rip from Template:Infobox VG. I'll trim it up. -- Chris 18:24, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

There we go. Let me know if it needs more fields (required or optional) -- Chris 18:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Looks great and complete. Maybe instead of "release date" we should mention "latest release date" because of the renewal of versions. Great job again. -- Svest 17:08, September 1, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™
Done and with "version" for 'Latest version'. -- Chris 20:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
What's the difference between "version" and "latest version"????? Deryck C. - the very original one

I didn't add another field, just re-labeled the 'version' field as 'latest version'. Chris 14:50, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Understand. I wonder if there's a usable logo of visual studio.net or visual basic.net? Deryck C. - the very original one

[edit] Stub

Just started the stub template - {{.NET-stub}}. All it really could use is a small enough graphic. -- Chris 19:07, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Fantastic. We really needed that template. -- Svest 17:08, September 1, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™
By the way, stubs should be proposed at Wikipedia:WikiPro ject Stub sorting/Proposals. Or atleast mentioned to that WikiProject. (I've added it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Discoveries) --Mairi 03:52, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
Thanks Mairi for your notice. And thanks for your initiative. -- Svest 01:30, September 3, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™

[edit] Heya all

Dunno if anyone is interested, but I'm working away at MDAC and will probably be updating ADO sometime soon. Maybe after that I can work away on ADO.NET. - 211.30.181.143 12:50, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi Anon. Glad to know that. I am sure your help in ADO.NET will be appreciated. Cheers -- Svest 16:45, September 10, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™…
Hi I can help on .NET piece if any let me know if any help is required Thanks Arun

[edit] Notice Board

Would you consider using Wikipedia:Microsoft notice board for the time being until more people become involved? - 211.30.181.143 02:58, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
A very good idea. Thanx. Svest 03:00, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
Done. Svest 03:23, September 11, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up™
Hope this can attract people. Deryck C. - the very original one

[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 00:05, 26 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 17:48, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project template

Are there any objections to changing the project template (Template:WikiProject .NET) to be more "standard"? Right now, it sticks out when placed with other templates (ex. Talk:DotNetNuke). Not only that, it doesn't look very good at all. I may also try to add assessment parameters for it. Comments or is this project dead? MahangaTalk 04:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I'm not part of this project, but I came here to also suggest standardization. Before you waste your time making a new template, let's see if there's any activity here, because it seems pretty dead to me. Rocket000 22:44, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the project page, there is some activity, so maybe they just don't like talk pages. Rocket000 22:47, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Terminology netural

It would be nice if we can get everyone on the same page and have an effort to change terminology from MSIL to CLI and replace references to ".NET Framework" to "CLR" or "CLI compliant" wherever possible to remain neutral to the standards and no forget about other CLI implementations including Mono and PNET.

[edit] Pro Wrestling WikiProject

The above WikiProject has 7 articles nominated at WP:GAN.

If someone is interested in reviewing the articles, please do so; as members of the WikiProject to not want to review the articles, because of accusations of conflict of interest. Lex T/C Guest Book 17:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
