[edit] Userbox deletion
Our WikiProject userbox, {{user EagleStubs}}, has been speedily deleted and subsequently posted at deletion review. Just FYI. Luna Santin 06:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Template restored. This discussion, as relates to the WikiProject, appears to be more or less over. Luna Santin 04:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Template has been re-deleted, restored, and moved to {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub removal/Userbox}}. Now I think it's actually done. Luna Santin 02:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stubremoval gone bad
I just was looking at the page for Mordent, and I get an error saying that this article does not exist. It gives me an edit link to start a new page, if I like, and when I do, I see all the content that should have been displayed.
Looking at the history for Mordent, the last change was for stub removal. Clicking on the last version shows me the full page: [1]
So, it looks like something about the stub removal has prevented this article from being shown. Does anyone know what is going on? Uigrad 18:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
- Nevermind. After waiting a little bit, the Mordent page now shows up. I'm glad I didn't try to revert it to an earlier version. Maybe wikipedia is just overworked right now. My guess is that wikipedia displays an "article does not exist" page if the database request takes too long. Uigrad 18:47, 19 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 14:21, 26 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 19:33, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
