[edit] Congo discussion from Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals

Description
I have formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Congo. Canada has a WikiProject but not one for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I believe we should freely welcome those interested in the Republic of the Congo so as not to deny those editors the name of "Congo". There is much work to be done. The quality of the articles can be much improved.

I would very much suggest moving the existing page to userspace. Also, there are now separate pages for work groups of WikiProject Africa for both countries named "Congo", although the Africa Project banner evidently hasn't been adjusted to accomodate all the work groups. Using the existing task force, when the banner is prepared for it, might be a lot easier and have a better chance of success. John Carter (talk) 19:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I am making a motion to disband WikiProject Congo with the plan of possibly becoming active at a later date when more members participate and more articles are written or improved. This motion has passed with 100% voter turnout and 100% voting to agree. I have put a redirect while the page is dormant. This WikiProject proposal may be placed in the archives.Congolese (talk) 05:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
