[edit] Re: Big Four
I got Christ Illusion by Slayer to GA, and with the effort of others am going to get it to FA. In response to your proposal, I'm just keen to know a few things;
1. Your honest opinions on the average efforts of the Metal Wikiproject in improving Metal articles.
2. How you want these articles improved - are you of the mind of the Metal Wikiproject, or not? I personally am not for several reasons. LuciferMorgan 01:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

- In response to your message, I'm afraid I won't be joining though thanks for the offer.

- I find the Metal Wikiproject to be a disappointment frankly, and a shame considering what it could be (as opposed to what it is). When I attempted to keep Iron Maiden as an FA, I found their members largely disruptive, and very unhelpful to my cause. Additionally, when Skeletor worked his backside off to get Megadeth to FA hardly anyone helped, and the same for Metal Head when he worked on Slayer. As mostly a lone force in the Slayer Wikiproject, he's got down to some serious business and notched up an additional 3 GAs largely of his own accord. I got Christ Illusion to GA but that's it, and I rewrote Eyes of the Insane to B status.
-
- If the Metal Wikiproject considers itself serious, then it's having a laugh. Me and Metal Head are more serious than all them put together, and the Slayer Wikiproject runs rings around the Metal Wikiproject to be frank.
-
- It makes no valid effort to improvise articles, no nothing. It spends more time debating which genres a band belongs in than actually doing work, and when it does work all it does is add crufty original research in an article - typical words they use are "legendary", "classic" etc. in articles, and that's exactly what they shouldn't do. How about inline citations, WP:GA? or WP:FA?? Scan most of the Metal articles and they don't strive towards such goals. The Slayer article should be what other metal articles strive for, but they don't. I can't see Metal Head folding Slayer into the Big Four for the above reasons to be honest, as when the Metal Project members arrive with their crufty edits it means me and him would have to mop up behind them. I'm sorry if my tone seems derogatory, but it's aimed at the Metal Wikiproject generally as opposed to yourself - I don't know you as a Wikipedian, so cannot comment on your efforts. If I thought the Big Four could aspire to what the Slayer Project is but on a larger scope, I would've joined - but unless Wikipedia has more editor s like Metal Head, I don't think it could aspire to such levels. Good luck though - it's a shame I can't join really, as I love the Big Four. LuciferMorgan 07:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PCC userbox
I have moved the PCC box to template space because that's where all education related boxes belong. Also, you had included a fair use college logo, which is not allowed. I substituted PCC for the image. You are encouraged to modify the box again to your liking, however, you can't include fair use images in userboxes, no matter where they are located. I have also corrected the links on Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/United States. You should look at the other boxes there to get some ideas of what you can and cannot do with the PCC box. Thank you for helping. --NThurston 15:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki Project Comedians
Yeah, I definately would be interested in heading up that project. Let me know what information I need to fill in. --Twintone 15:09, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Big Four of Thrash Metal
Please be advised that this project you created is being discussed in accord with wikipedia policy. Please feel free to go to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Big Four of Thrash Metal to take part in the discussion. Thank you. John Carter 19:32, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- As I stated at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject Big Four of Thrash Metal, perhaps renaming & re-focusing the WikiProject to Wikipedia:WikiProject Thrash Metal or Wikipedia:WikiProject American Thrash Metal would avoid deletion and encourage greater participation. Please take a look at the MfD page and offer you opinion. -- Scientizzle 20:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- The easiest way to bring about the deletion of this project would be for you to post a message at the discussion referenced above saying that you as the creator of the project wish to delete it and all of its subpages. That would qualify it for speedy deletion as per Wikipedia:Speedy deletion. John Carter 20:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Since you have a the pages set up already, rather than delete & start over, you could just move Wikipedia:WikiProject Big Four of Thrash Metal to Wikipedia:WikiProject Thrash Metal (and all the subpages as well). That could save a lot of effort in terms of recreating content & page design (why reinvent the wheel?)...It should be simple enough to do, but I'd be willing to help if you'd like. -- Scientizzle 23:36, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Is Wikipedia:WikiProject Thrash Metal still going ahead? I'd like to see it happen. Adamravenscroft 12:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PCC
Greatings from WikiProject Oregon. We have recently been going through our members edit history to weed out some of those who have left Wikipedia. You are not one of those people, but I did see you are a student at PCC. As always we are trying to expand the content related to Oregon, and I was hoping to expand the PCC content to include articles on the individual campuses. Since you attend PCC I was wondering if you could take a stab at making an article for the campus you are at as you would know it better than those who don't attend, and you could easily get pictures. If you feel up to it, you can use the red link at the main PCC article and go from there. Thanks for being a WPOR member, and happy editing. Aboutmovies 00:49, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
