Elisha Cuthbert

This isn't directly 24 content, so I don't think it's an included article, but I thought you guys may want to know I'm working on Elisha Cuthbert along with Antrophica. Staxringold 12:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

She's directly related in the Actors/Actresses aspect.

Wiki 24

I don't know if anyone else at the site notices, but people working on 24 articles have been using a lot of Wiki 24's content on wikipedia. Some sites are copied word for word. There's nothing wrong with that, but a lot of the pages are unnotable considering the scope of wikipedia. It's also a violation of copyright. All of our editors deserve credit for their work, so put a page history so people can see their citation. And most of all, create your own pages. We work hard on ours, and people create their own pages for Star Trek and Star Wars characters, they don't use their associated wikas. It's sort of an insult that wikipedia is turning into a large copy of wiki 24. - Xtreme680 06:25, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Got a List? If so, I'll add a To-Do for rewriting. - Jeremy 19:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Key articles for Wikipedia 1.0

Hello! We at the Work via WikiProjects team for Wikipedia 1.0 would like you to identify the "key articles" from your project that should be included in offline releases of Wikipedia based on their importance, regardless of quality. We will use that information to assess which articles should be nominated for Version 1.0 (not yet open) and later versions. Hopefully it will also help you identify which articles are the most important for the project to work on. As well, please add to your Arts WikiProject article table any articles of quality articles|high quality]]. If you are interested in developing a worklist such as this one for your WikiProject, or having a bot generate a worklist automatically for you, please contact us. Please feel free to post your suggestions right here. Thanks! Walkerma 05:59, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

By Key articles, do you mean the articles that are most needed for the 24 series?
Key articles are the ones that this project considers to be the most important. Presumably 24 (TV series) would be your "Top-Class" article for importance, but if we were putting together a CD which were to include five articles from this project, which would they be? Hope this helps, Walkerma 02:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
I'll put together a list. When do you need it by?

Here's a good five:

Thanks, that's a good start. Feel free to update your listing if you come up with others beyond the initial 5, or if you assess them for quality. Thanks, Walkerma 06:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Merging

I am merging all the minor characters into a list, which will involve taking out background information and quotes. That sort of stuff can be compressed into a link to Wiki 24 as per most fictional items. — Deckiller 09:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Why remove background information? Some people may use it. - Jeremy 19:25, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
  • User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
  • User:Badbilltucker/Science 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 to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. 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 22:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now moved the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 13:49, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

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 16:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

CFD notice

Removed cfdnotice, cfd has completed. --Kbdank71 15:08, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Please also note Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 February 20 for a review of the decision regarding Category:Actors by series. Tim! 08:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikiproject 24/Participants

I moved the page here: Wikipedia:WikiProject 24/Participants after realizing the mispelling fact that the P in "Project" wasn't capitalized and therefore prevented it from being a subpage. -WarthogDemon 02:24, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Affiliations

Character affiliations are getting out of hand - Nina Myers being just one example - and I would like to remove them on the basis that they are subjective and do not belong in the infobox, which is meant to be succinct and for 'at a glance' information'. Unless I meet with opposition by 21:00 (UTC) today, I shall purge them all. asyndeton 09:53, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Stop the merges!

Someone is attempting to merge most of the 24 character articles (check to see which ones). If anyone else opposes this, make it known in the articles' discussions boxes. --T smitts 17:43, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I've already began to counter their votes, but I can only do so much. Wow... Those two (Lucy-marie and asyndeton) want to merge pretty much every single article. Which, btw, woudl end up creating an article so big it would end up being split into Minor Antagonists, Minor Guest Characters or something like that.--Gonzalo84 22:45, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

We know about this, check my talk page to find out the details. This has ended up in the mediation cabal, which is linked on my talk page.--Lan Di (talk) 23:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Spouse

Hey I'm just wondering why spouse is one of the three things listed under the character photographs. It's not very important and can be referenced in the article. I'm not changing anything, just wondering.Neeknitsuj 10:46, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

The 24-only Wiki

You're just the folks who might like to hear about this: there is a wiki strictly for official 24 material: http://24.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. You're all welcome to contribute, if you didn't already know about it! Blue Danube (talk) 08:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Needs to be done

Mandy really needs a picture for her article. Also, we should have a requests page, instead of doing requests on the talk page.--Lan Di (talk) 18:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Y Done I restored the image yesterday, wrote a rationale, and added the image back on today (as I forgot to do it yesterday). Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 13:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Sherry Palmer needs a picture, and please link the to-do list on the front page so that I can add what I find is needed there.--Lan Di (talk) 12:39, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

CfD discussion

Your attention is drawn to this discussion: Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_May_1#Category:24_articles_consisting_mainly_of_plot_information. Is this a project sanctioned tag? Johnbod (talk) 20:03, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar

There is a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Awards#WP24 Award?. Is {{WP 24 Barnstar}} an "official" barnstar for the project? As far as I can tell, it has not been awarded and is not mentioned by the project. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:51, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
