[edit] Template image idea

I think that a good image for the template would be something taken from Virginia Point Park that would show all three states. I have some at home, but I don't remember if any of them would be good enough. Maybe one of us could run out there on the next sunny day. Any thoughts? youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 15:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The stub template

You might want to run that by the stub sorting project first before implementing. They are pretty protective of their turf regarding stub creation. Its not a bad thing at all, either, they just make sure that stubs types are only created only when needed (I think the threshold is 60 stub articles that can be included). youngamerican (ahoy-hoy) 16:00, 27 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 19:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

"Tri-state area" -- when Ohioans/Buckeyes say "tri-state area" aren't they generally referring to Ohio/Indiana/Michigan? The people in those latter two states seem to include Ohio with them as well. Do residents of WV and KY really include OH when saying "tri-state?" Pariah23 23:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and Ohioans from the southeastern part of your state would mean WV-OH-KY when they say "tri-state." y'american (wtf?) 16:52, 22 February 2008 (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 22:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion at WikiProject Kentucky

Just thought I should let members of this project know about this discussion going on at WikiProject Kentucky so you can weigh in. Acdixon 16:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Kentucky alerts

If you want to see current WikiProject Kentucky alerts, you can place the new {{WikiProject Kentucky alerts}} banner on your project and/or project talk pages. It can also be placed on your user page and/or user talk page. Thanks! Stevie is the man! TalkWork 17:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Userbox for User Pages

Hey everyone I made a new Userbox for the WikiProject and I wanted to get your guys opinion.

This user is a member of WikiProject KYOVA Region.

It is currently located at my Sandbox for Userboxes, if you guys like it and want to use it then we can give it a page. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 04:00, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

It's nice but I like the old one as well. Couldn't we have both? --JaGa (talk) 18:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Just to let you all know, I changed the talk page userbox to the smaller version. I hadn't even noticed this discussion until just now, so ... what a considence! I can put a large format back up for everyone to use. Seicer (talk) (contribs) 18:24, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Already did. --JaGa (talk) 20:18, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
I made the smaller version for those who like the smaller one versus the big one. ♪♫Alucard 16♫♪ 01:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
