[edit] Quality ratings

As they are now, the quality ratings are really inconsistent with the WP:1.0 scale, which is the de facto standard across Wikipedia. (I do enjoy the thought of a "Delete-Class" though...) --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 07:30, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and installed code enabling WP:1.0 assessment for this project to the template. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 19:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject banner image

The image in the banner is too small to be intelligible. Here are some suggestions for other images we could use:

Image:Montauk point lighthouse pano.jpg (needs to be cropped)

Image:The Big Duck.JPG

Any other suggestions? Antony-22 (talk) 17:53, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, it's already been changed. Antony-22 (talk) 03:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox?

Hey, I found out about this WikiProject because of the newsletter, and joined because I'm a proud Long Islander. I was just wondering if someone could create a userbox for members of the project, with an appropriate category as well. ~EdGl 01:08, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Nothing444. Where do you want it on the main project page? I'll leave that up to you. ~EdGl 03:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scouting office

Can someone explain what the "scouting office" is supposed to be? Metros (talk) 22:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedian June 1 NYC Meetup

New York City Meetup


Next: Sunday June 1st, Columbia University area
Last: 3/16/2008
This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts).--Pharos (talk) 19:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
