Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Amiga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is within the scope of the WikiProject Amiga, a collaborative effort to improve the depth of quality and coverage of the Amiga computing platform and related topics in Wikpedia. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks.

[edit] Expansion hardware

I think it'd be nice task to try to cover at least the most popular Amiga expansion hardware.

I find the following stuff specially interesting:

  • Phase5 Accelerator boards. The 1230/1240/1260 blizzards and the PPC boards.
  • Popular sound and video cards.
  • x86 bridgeboards.
  • PCI interface boards.

[edit] Article tagging

For now, I've tagged every article and category (as well as subcategories of these categories) in Category:Commodore Amiga, with the following exceptions:

  • Action Replay - This article has plenty of coverage from modern video game enthusiasts. If you feel that the Amiga aspect of this is important enough to merit this being included in the project anyway, feel free to tag it.
  • Genlock - Based on the article's talk page, this appears to have nothing to do with Amiga.

Most of the articles in the subcategories should probably be tagged, but what about the games? --Anivron 06:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project Page Content and Style

To any participants, feel free to make the project page and policies more closely resemble the WikiProjects of other computing platforms. Wikipedia:WikiProject Macintosh's page has many nice elements and policies, for example. --Anivron 06:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article talk page template

Just a quick point, the Amiga logo is unlikely to be fair use for the talk page template. You'd be better off using a freely licenced image of an actual Amiga (there are several on the commons [1]) Alexj2002 15:13, 22 September 2006 (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 00:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project active?

Is this wikiproject still active? I've started working on the Amiga web browser articles today (as a new version of IBrowse has just been released), and I thought I'd check if the project is still active before tagging their talk pages. --Safalra 20:12, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Of course it is :) 80.28.117.98 12:20, 5 March 2007 (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 17:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
