[edit] Tread softly
The goal of this project seems to be something that will likely attract a lot of controversy. I recommend being very careful how you go about determining which game articles, in your opinion(s), do not deserve an article. --日本穣 Nihonjoe 09:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- Deleting content that other people have worked on does not encourage anyone to contribute to Wikipedia. I appeal to those of you who have arbitrarily decided to remove references to popular culture (particularly games) from articles: please, please find something better to do! You are all obviously busy and productive contributors in other ways. Do not let your personal prejudices / intellectual snobbery persuade you that many other members' contributions are worthless. Assume good faith and only use deletion as a last resort Matt 14:43, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

- Merging. All about the merging. We want to merge the best of work. A spinoff CVG Wiki could also be a place for content that unfortunately may have to be discarded. But it's all about the merging. Merging merging. —

[edit] Announcement
The article is now created to find balance on Wikipedia. From now on, members will both remove content - not for lack of quality and/or sources, but for lack of notability - but they will also try to ensure articles that the group finds deserving an article (or if an AfD finds that the article deserves to exist) are not deleted by GameCruft hunting bullies (not naming names). - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Project Directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
- User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
- User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
- User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
- User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
- User:Badbilltucker/Science 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 to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. 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.

- Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now put the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 00:04, 24 October 2006 (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 17:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
