[edit] Jacques Derrida

Y'all are, of course, welcome to declare this part of your WikiProject, but, well... are any of you actually editing it, or do you have any plans to? Because it's apparently part of four WikiProjects right now, and that seems like a lot. And to my knowledge, at least, not a lot of his work directly related to Algeria, making it seem tangental.

[edit] Abane Ramdane

I'm currently reading Alistair Horne's "A Savage War of Peace" about the Algerian Revolution and was surprised to see that the Abane Ramdane article is a mere stub. Though he didn't live through the war he was most certainly one of the most important figures during the early parts of it. Namely in integrating, by force, former rival organizations like the moderate Ferhat Abbas' Union Démocratique du Manifeste Algérien (and Abbas himself), the Algerian Communist Party and Messali Hadj's Mouvement national algérien into the FLN. I'll try to expand it if I have time, help however would most certainly be welcomed. Thanks.--Jersey Devil 07:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New articles created

Hi. I've created these two articles, I'm letting you know just in case you want to improve them: List of presidents of Algeria; Abdur Rahman Farès. Thanks --Damifb 19:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Berbers

I believe this very unique culture, with a one-of-a-kind alphabet Tifinagh and history dating back as far as ancient Egypt, merits it's own WikiProject. There is a beautiful portal at Portal:Berbers, and I think Wikipedia would benefit greatly from this.

[edit] Algerian wine

Greetings! As part of the Wine Project's effort to document the world of wine, I've created the article on Algerian wine. I would greatly appreciate any assistance by members of the Algeria Project in improving the overall quality of the article. I plan on submitting it to Did you know? for featuring on the main page. Once again any assistance with fact checking, expansion and photos (of the wine or wine regions) would be of huge help. Thanks! AgneCheese/Wine 06:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of countries by formation dates

Hello everyone! There is a discussion at List of countries by formation dates that concernes Algeria as well. It relates to the fact that some users include former colonies (such as Algeria or Western Sahara) in the columm for the last territorial changes of their respective colonial power, and this because "formely" such colonies were considered "provinces" of la metropóle. I believe this discussion and its result may interest you. Thank you! Shukran! The Ogre (talk) 10:49, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project banner

It is my sincerest hope that this statement is not taken as being an attempt to subvert this project, take control over it, or any similar thing. However, the Template:AfricaProject has recently had parameters put into it to allow it to provide separate assessments for all the "Africa" projects, including this one. If in the interests of reducing banner clutter the members of this project were to choose to use that banner, please let me know and I can adjust any categories accordingly to permit it. Thank you.

[edit] Pied-noir nominated for FA

Hi All,

Just writing to let you know that I nominated Pied-noir for FA. Feel free to leave a note at the FAC page. Thanks! Lazulilasher (talk) 02:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal to consolidate African country WikiProject banners

Template:AfricaProject was recently modified, and now contains individual parameters for all countries in Africa (see usage notes). Since project-specific assessment for all African countries can now be accomplished through the template, a proposal has been made at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Africa to consolidate all individual African country WikiProject banners.

Comments or suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you, Black Falcon (Talk) 23:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Draft Guidelines for Lists of companies by country - Feedback Requested

Within WikiProject Companies I am trying to establish guidelines for all Lists of companies by country, the implementation of which would hopefully ensure a minimum quality standard and level of consistency across all of these related but currently disparate articles. The ultimate goal is the improvement of these articles to Featured List status. As a WikiProject that currently has one of these lists within your scope, I would really appreciate your feedback! You can find the draft guidelines here. Thanks for your help as we look to build consensus and improve Wikipedia! - Richc80 (talk) 18:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
