Thanks for your help on the Lake Placid bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track article. It earned a DYK yesterday! Chris (talk) 14:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Hawaii history stubs

[edit]

Hi. Please see my comments here. We're not supposed to create history stub templates and categories without the approval of the stub project. Also, WikiProject Hawaii is already using a Stub-Class assessment system, so if you want to sort by history, a task force is the next logical step. —Viriditas | Talk 08:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. Look forward to working with you. —Viriditas | Talk 08:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking, why don't you go ahead and just request the stub template through the normal channels on the Stub project page? Even though I'm biased against them, it may work for you, as you seem to have a vision in this regard, and I think it is important to encourage that. It would also give you practice with the correct procedure. :) It shouldn't have any impact on whether we create a task force, a separate project, or whatever. In case you need the link to the procedure, it's here. —Viriditas | Talk 09:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:WP:WSS/P (Hawaii history stub)

[edit]

Hi - noticed your proposal on the Stub sorters page about a Hawaii history stub and your second thoughts about it... FWIW, a lot of WikiProjects prefer using WikiProject-specific talk page templates, which allow them to assess all articles covered by a topic, rather than just stubs. They require a bit more coding knowledge than stub templates, but are ultimately far more useful (see {{WPBeatles}} for an example of one in action). Grutness...wha? 00:19, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good news

[edit]

User:Phoenix-wiki has proposed an American history task force on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject United States‎. Would you be willing to contact him as a representative for Hawaii history articles related to American history and help coordinate? —Viriditas | Talk 12:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

[edit]

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
