[edit] Going on partial wikibreak
Hey all, I'm going on a "partial wikibreak" for the forseeable future so I can put more time into other projects. That means I will just do two check-in's a day to review and respond to changes in my watchlist and talk page. I have to be honest and say I won't be able to participate in any major efforts or discussions during this time. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 21:40, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Abraham Lincoln
Checking the archives, I note that there was a discussion as to the size of the WikiProject Kentucky's tag being too large? Is this the reason it is not currently tagged as a WikiProject Kentucky article? SonPraises 11:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like all the WikiProject tags for that article have been moved to a hidden block that can be shown by clicking the "Show" link. Thanks for keeping a watch on that, though. It's one of the most important articles in the project, although I haven't had the guts to start cleaning it up. Acdixon 17:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
- I fixed the tag a while back to support the 'small' parameter. But the reason it's not visible (at first) is because of what Acdixon said. Hopefully, hidden blocks like that will be used very sparingly, because we're losing a lot of good attention that the Lincoln article could bring us. Stevie is the man!

- Stevie, I didn't know you modified the template to support the small parameter. Thanks for the heads-up. It's not needed often, but where it is, I think that will be a real plus. Thanks for your work! Acdixon 19:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appalachian Mountains, Appalachian English
My reading of the scope of WikiProject Kentucky tends to make me think that the articles Appalachian Mountains and Appalachian English fall well within those parameters, so I've tagged them. The Appalachian Mts. article, for example has been tagged for several state projects.
Of course if the tagging is contrary to consensus view, they should be removed, but my strong sense is that for good or ill the larger view outside the state is that a Kentuckian is an Appalachian which was reconfirmed watching Primal Fear for a second time last night.

- I agree that those articles can be reasonably tagged for the project. In fact, I consider it one of the missions of the project to change the negative perceptions of Kentucky that you mention. Even though Appalachia does have some negatives, it also has unique cultural elements that should be celebrated (it's music, etc.) Acdixon 13:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Introduction (and a question)
Hello! I am new to projects on Wikipedia, and I believe that this would be a great place to start learning. Any help or information would be appreciated; I am eager to learn how I could be of service to this article and community.
In addition, I noticed that the city of Louisville is referenced as the largest city in Kentucky as of the 2005 population census. With the integration of the city of Lexington and the surrounding Fayette county, is this still the case? I was under the impression from several sources that Lexington (now the entirety of Fayette county) has exceeded the population of Louisville within recent years, due to Louisville not integrating with its own county. If I am incorrect I apologize for the error (I have not edited any pages, of course). Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting everyone. vendetta 19:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Lexington was larger than Louisville for a time before Louisville's merger with Jefferson County in 2003. Hope that helps. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
