[edit] Week 4: African countries

Assessment

African Countries
African countries. --Quadell ^{(talk) (bounties)} 02:56, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a great idea to me. -DMurphy 23:10, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Topic starting 6 March 2006
There are plenty of good suggestions below. I would like to continue the variety we have had so far and look at something totally different to the three we've worked on so far. My favoured options are:

Magicians
African countries

Anyone have a preference? violet/riga (t) 22:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Of those two I'd prefer African countries... it's always interesting to read about those. I think we should do biographical articles soon too though. -DMurphy 23:30, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

OK lets go with that one. violet/riga (t) 10:03, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Hold the bus!!!! You give two options out of all those options down there & one person says he likes one of them & you say "Lets go with that one"? That's corruption in its simplest form! You need a more general consensus, like messaging everyone who placed a comment here & telling them about it! Two people can't make the decision alone! It's not virtuous!

Sorry but there is no such decision process yet. Yes, there may be one in the future but right now I'm just going by what I think is best for the project. There are three people that seem to think that African countries is a good topic (Quadell suggested it) leaving MacGyverMagic as the only major contributor to this page that hasn't commented on the choice. violet/riga (t) 22:01, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Week 3: 1980s comedy films

Assessment

We could have a film genre topic (comedies, etc.) but that could become too wide. Perhaps "1980s comedy films"? violet/riga (t) 23:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

I actually think that this would be a good topic - might generate quite a bit of interest. A restriction could be that only one film from a series (ie. Police Academy 3) is allowed to be submitted. violet/riga (t) 20:46, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

As a film buff, this would be a lot of fun, and pretty easy to evaluate since film articles tend to be fairly cookie-cutter. --DMurphy 04:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
