[edit] Overhaul

I've overhauled the project page and restarted the project--Phoenix-wiki (talk · contribs) 21:20, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Members section

It would be good form to restore the membership information somehow. John Carter 20:18, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notice of List articles

Page(s) related to this project have been created and/or added to one of the Wikipedia:Contents subpages (not by me).

This note is to let you know, so that experts in the field can expand them and check them for accuracy, and so that they can be added to any watchlists/tasklists, and have any appropriate project banners added, etc. Thanks. --Quiddity 20:28, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expert review: Richard's Controller

As part of the Notability wikiproject, I am trying to sort out whether Richard's Controller is notable enough for an own article. I would appreciate an expert opinion. For details, see the article's talk page. If you can spare some time, please add your comments there. Thanks! --B. Wolterding 14:11, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible new Wikiproject - Mills

I'm interested in creating/joining a Wikiproject on Mills (wind, water, animal power). Is there anyone else out there interested in this area of technology? Mjroots (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 11:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

My suggestion would be for you to create this as a short-lived task force within the Technology WikiProject. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 07:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
I knew I'd posted this somewhere! A task force would be acceptable, I've got a proposa up at the Wikiproject Council at the moment. Mjroots (talk) 12:45, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible new Wikiproject - Image Science

I'm very interested in creating a Wikiproject on Image Science. I find the quality of articles in this area to be lacking and I think I can get a group of folks together to work this. I am not sure whether it should go under the Technology or Science parent projects tho. Do any of you have any thoughts on this? Thanks. Tjamison (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

You might consider dual parentage with Technology and Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 07:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greenspun illustration project: requests now open

Dear Wikimedians,

This is a (belated) announcement that requests are now being taken for illustrations to be created for the Philip Greenspun illustration project (PGIP).

The aim of the project is to create and improve illustrations on Wikimedia projects. You can help by identifying which important articles or concepts are missing illustrations (diagrams) that could make them a lot easier to understand. Requests should be made on this page: Philip_Greenspun_illustration_project/Requests

If there's a topic area you know a lot about or are involved with as a Wikiproject, why not conduct a review to see which illustrations are missing and needed for that topic? Existing content can be checked by using Mayflower to search Wikimedia Commons, or use the Free Image Search Tool to quickly check for images of a given topic in other-language projects.

The community suggestions will be used to shape the final list, which will be finalised to 50 specific requests for Round 1, due to start in January. People will be able to make suggestions for the duration of the project, not just in the lead-up to Round 1.

thanks, pfctdayelise (talk) 13:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC) (Project coordinator)

[edit] Georgetown PowerPlant Museum

I recently visited the Georgetown PowerPlant Museum and took a lot of photos. I'm pretty happy with these aesthetically, but to be honest for the most part I don't know much about what I was looking at, and they could use far better descriptions than I can give them. If anyone knows their way around the museum or steam technology for power generation, then help would be welcome throughout Commons:Category:Georgetown PowerPlant Museum. If there is anything I can help with (e.g. identifying where in the building certain shots were taken), just ask on my talk page and I'll do my best to help out. - Jmabel | Talk 04:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder of the Philip Greenspun Illustration project

Hi. You may be familiar with the Philip Greenspun Illustration Project. $20,000 has been donated to pay for the creation of high quality diagrams for Wikipedia and its sister projects.

Requests are currently being taken at m:Philip Greenspun illustration project/Requests and input from members of this project would be very welcome. If you can think of any diagrams (not photos or maps) that would be useful then I encourage you to suggest them at this page. If there is any free content material that would assist in drawing the diagram then it would be great if you could list that, too.

If there are any related (or unrelated) WikiProjects you think might have some suggestions then please pass this request over. Thanks. --Cherry blossom tree 16:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Forklift truck and Ariel work platform

Hi, I been working on the Forklift truck article and I noticed that it's not part of any WikiProject. The same is true for the Aerial work platform article. Shinerunner (talk) 12:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Project template

Do you guys have a project template? I'm making a page for frame interpolation and would like to include a standard link to this project. I could also use any input you might have on the page itself. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 18:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it's linked from the front page, try looking on the right bar.--Phoenix-wiki 22:51, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Someone added one for me, which was cool. I didn't see the link on the front page. Do we have any tech infoboxes I can use? They're probably next to the templates that I'm missing. ;-) Peregrine Fisher (talk) 00:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New template for talk pages, expecially the larger ones

Unanswered query This question or request has not been resolved
Remove this tag when this is resolved.

Some pages, such as this one have lots of post, and it requires some work to see what has been answered or acknowledged. therefore I have helped make the {{Unanswered}} template that can be put above a section allowing one to quickly glimpse what has been answered. If you were waiting for an answer but never got one as the post in somewhere in the middle tag it! please voice any queries or comments in the talk page ofTemplate:Unanswered (links, talk) and not here. Cheers --Squidonius (talk) 15:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Vital articles

Any editor with a broad knowledge of technology is invited to take a look at Wikipedia:Vital articles and offer suggestions on how to improve the list of 1000 vital Wikipedia articles, as well as on the process of choosing them. It suffers from a severe lack of attention and POV editing. — goethean ॐ 01:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
