Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Belgrade

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Added myself to the list of members, changed {{User WikiProject Belgrade}} so that it looks slightly better (though it could still be improved), added this wikiproject to Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects and began categorising this stuff. I'd suggest we make this a turnkey-base wikiproject for ease of use. So, let's get this project off the ground :) --estavisti 15:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Is there some wiki project for entire Serbia, or Serbia and Montenegro? I will be very nice to have that portal. — SasaStefanovic • 00:28 13-04-2006
Hello ;) Wikipedia:WikiProject_Serbia --Alek 17:38, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I was just thinking, do you guys think it would be useful to have a different infobox for Belgrade suburban and urban municipalities? The same goes for other larger cities in Serbia, like Niš, Novi Sad, and Kragujevac. By the way I've added myself to the project. --Krytan 00:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead

I feel sad for this WikiProject (one of the two I had created in my wiki-life). As "HeadMaster" I suggest its declaration of being officially dead. Below that you can vote for deletion of the WikiProject (only members can vote and new members cannot). 75% is the pass-needed majority. The voting lasts until every member gives his vote. Comments may be added below by any User. --PaxEquilibrium 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Declaration of Inactivity

  • Support as per the nominator. --PaxEquilibrium 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, per nom. --estavisti 15:00, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, per nom. --Meelosh 00:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Support, per nom. --Momir 10:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

  • Neutral - must hear out other members' opinions. --PaxEquilibrium 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Current inactivity, in my opinion, can be remedied by introducing interesting Belgrade-related projects, which wouldn't consume too much time. Also, apart from this declaration of inactivity, nothing else has been tried to activate this WikiProject. --Meelosh 00:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comments

Place comments regarding this WikiProject here. --PaxEquilibrium 21:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

  • This is a little crazy... No one's voting. I can't brake the rules I imposed!.. ah, if no one's even interested to help close the project, that it truly must be dead. :S --PaxEquilibrium 23:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I will skim the contributions of members and declare users inactive if they haven't contributed... This will speed-up the process, hopefully. --PaxEquilibrium 23:29, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bormalagurski Case

As per the ArbCom's decision on Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Kosovo, User:Bormalagurski has been banned for edit warring & incivility for one year's time. Although I took myself the liberty of temporarely removing him myself, I ask for confirmation of other members of this WikiProject. All active members have to vote and 3/4 is the required majority. I know that this might seem slightly ridiculous to some; but I insist on formality.

  • Support. He has been blocked for one year's time, so there's no need to keep him in the list for one year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PaxEquilibrium (talk • contribs) 13:18, 24 October 2006)

[edit] Ban

  • Oppose - as a formality, since Bormalagurski has proven to be heavily incivil, earning even an indef block from the Serbian wikipedia (where he was administrator), I suggest banning him from the WikiProject (just an open question). However, as I dislike bans (except for damaging bots), I vote oppose. --PaxEquilibrium 13:18, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Oppose --Krytan 21:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

  • OK, Standard procedure is that I first suggest the conditions, and then we reach a consensus and adopt them... but knowing how dead is the WikiProject, I took myself the liberty of imposing the rules (as the Grandmaster). However, neither this worked, and I don't want to seem like a usurper and close the WikiProject myself. --PaxEquilibrium 23:27, 8 November 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 17:04, 25 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 21:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice, but...

Krytan, although this version (taken from the Serbs template, presumably) is a lot nicer, You deleted a lot of things I invented. Please check the history of this WikiProject. --PaxEquilibrium 12:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

It's not taken from that template. I am not deleting things you have invented... The look isn't even finished yet. If you want to help, then add on to what I am doing. --Krytan 20:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I was referring to the little thing showing the percentage of the WikiProject's completion. --PaxEquilibrium 17:16, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, but it isn't finished yet. If you would care to pitch in, and add it in a box? I'll do more when I get some time on my hands. --Krytan 04:44, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I don't know how you can estimate the completion of the entire wikiproject, when articles are constantly being created and modified... Why not do something like wikiproject Vienna, and estimate the completion of separate articles? --Krytan 04:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FAR

Belgrade has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. Todor→Bozhinov 13:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kosovo

Hello. This may be out of your scope of interest, in which case apologies. We've tried to invite various groups with an interest in south-eastern Europe. There's a discussion and vote going on at Talk:Kosovo#Kosovo:_terminology as to whether or not it's better to use Kosovo rather than Kosovan or Kosovar in the Wikipedia articles. There's also a discussion going on Talk:List of countries as to whether or not Kosovo should be included in that list. Cheers. DSuser 16:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
