'Derbyshire flag'
This flag is clearly the one promoted by BBC Radio Derby, after its listeners had voted on some designs shortlisted by the BBC. But I'm wondering, does the flag have any status other than that? Xn4 22:10, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, I do actually think that that is probably the case - I am in the middle of creating an actual "logo" for the projcet, so the flag can go soon! Cheers, Bluegoblin7 10:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, Bluegoblin! I wasn't meaning to hint that the flag should go completely, it could perhaps have a little corner somewhere with a note to explain what it is. But I agree that a unique headline logo for the project would be better. As things stand, the flag could easily mislead people into thinking it's the official symbol of Derbyshire, which so far as I know it isn't. regards, Xn4 01:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Peak District GA/A/FA?
The Peak District article is quite large, and well referenced. Could it be one of the above ratings? Please discuss below! Bluegoblin7 18:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- I completely agree with your upgrading this to a 'B', Bluegoblin. To go beyond that, a more formal review process is needed. I'm sure the article isn't an 'A' yet, because (per Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment) "once an article reaches the A-Class, it is considered complete", and this one has some way to go to get there. I'm with Espresso Addict's list on the article's talk page of the work which needs to be done before a GA attempt is made. I suggest encouraging their efforts, with that in mind. If we can help to give the article some prominence, then perhaps a few others will join in the good work being done on it. Regards, Xn4 02:58, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
WP:UKCITIES
Hello WikiProject Derbyshire participants,
Just a line trying to promote some trans-WikiProject guidelines for settlement articles. WP:UKCITIES are guidelines from the "mother" WP:UKGEO project based on those at WP:CITIES (A "global" WikiProject for settlements that is US driven). They have been employed by a number of articles to standardise content, obtain a consistent style and approach and drive them towards good and featured article status with considerable success, and are so far also endorssed by Wikipedia:WikiProject Greater Manchester, Wikipedia:WikiProject Cheshire, Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire and Wikipedia:WikiProject Sheffield, amongst others.
Not too many users (or indeed projects) are aware of the guidelines, and thought it may be helpful if all the county WikiProjects had a link to them to help them get the results they want. Hope that helps, Jza84 02:03, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
