Discussion of inactive projects -thoughts:

So I would tentatively organize the inactive projects more like this:

• 1. Delete - Spurious projects we wouldn't consider beneficial no matter how many members they had and projects that have never done more than create a Project page with no activity for several months.
• 2. Userfy and refer editor to WP:COUNCIL/P (but remembering that neither the Guide nor Proposals are policy)- One member projects where the member is actively editing in the topic covered by the project
• 3. Rename as a task force - Projects with Very few members and a small scope (some very large scope projects have very few members)
• 4. Mark Historical and either rename as a task force or otherwise suggest where to comment - projects with little activity over an extended period of time that don't fall into any of the above - including most inactive maintenance projects.
• 5. Mark Inactive - projects of any size with little activity for several months as a sort of yellow light to everyone concerned and to help us track when someone needs to suggest actions 1 though 4.

--comment-- According to the article the United States is eligible as "a group of British Colonies until 1783". Is there a reliable third party source that says that the United States, a federal republic only 13 of the states of which were ever British Colonies (though many other parts were British territory at times) and which also includes French, Spanish, and Russian colonies or territories and one previously autonomous kingdom, that repudiated the Crown and made war against it, is eligible for membership.

Also, as an American, I consider the idea that we were colonies until 1783 POV. During the Revolution the American's carried arms openly, organized a standing army which moved about at will, and operated virtually all of the functions of civil government.

WikiProject Philosophy task list

---

• German Idealism and almost all the articles related to it need to be either rewritten or expanded, because a wikipedia user called Lestrade has, among other things, taken it upon himself to imbue each page with bias in favour of Schopenhauer, who he attempts to present as having the last say in everything. This is a terrible thing to do, because German Idealism is such an important period in philosophy, whose influence is still strongly felt today.
• Protected Values first section confuses right action and values and needs a copy edit, moving and wikifying
• Ludwig Wittgenstein is having its FA status reviewed due to a couple of concerns. Help save Ludwig! See Wikipedia:Featured article review/Ludwig Wittgenstein for requirements for retaining FA status.
• Quality (philosophy) needs a more clear explanation.
• Socratic dialogues could do with some tidying and clarification. See the talk page for one suggested change.
• Problem of universals: The introductory definition is (perhaps) fixed. But, the article is poor. Check out the German version.
• Teleology: the article is shallow and inconsistent.
• Existentialism: the quality of this article varies wildly and is in desperate need of expert attention.
• Star of Sophia Vote for or nominate someone you think is deserving!
• Analytic_philosophy This is a very major topic, but still has several sections which are stubs, and several topics which are not covered.
• Inverse (logic) This article makes me wish that there were a fail grade on the quality scale. Someone should rewrite it.

- a more descriptive way to handle it

Here are some open WikiProject Reenactment tasks:

• Major work needed:
  • Goals and scope need to be defined
  • Comparison of historical reenactment events needs serious improvement
  • Lists of groups needs serious improvement:
    • List of medieval reenactment groups
    • Comparison of historical reenactment groups
  • Historical reenactment needs to be abstracted (currently focusses on American Civil War)
  • Authenticity (reenactment) needs to be expanded (currently focusses on less-authentic medieval reenactment)
  • Codex Belli needs an English summary of the basic ruleset
  • Living history needs to be expanded
• Articles to write:
  • Stone Age reenactment (might be just experimental archaeology)
  • Ancient reenactment for Roman Empire, Ancient Greece, etc?
  • Dark Age reenactment (redirect to Medieval reenactment?)
  • Modern reenactment for 18th-20th century reenactment (American Civil War, Napoleonic Wars, World War II)
  • Articles for major reenactment groups? (What defines a "major" reenactment group anyway?)
  • Article about gunnery displays? Might be crossreferenced for details on black powder focused reenactment groups
  • Boer War reenacting is a new (and experimental) trend, primarily with mostly modern reenactors.
  • American Civil War firearms category is not generalized; there is only a Category:American Civil War rifles.

Feel free to edit this list or discuss these tasks. - even more so
