[edit] Heads up don't delete

Don't delete this page. This is a project, not an article. --Zonerocks 03:49, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Name

This project should be moved to Wikipedia:Wikiproject US Governors. See the Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects - it's a common convention. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 16:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Just a notice: one colon is used, so it becomes Wikipedia:Wikiproject US Governors. -- CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 16:59, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
The P in Project is usually capitalized. - PatricknoddyTALK (reply here)|HISTORY 11:22, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ummm...page move weirdness

Wikipedia:WikiProject US Governors already existed, actually (as an inactive project), so Wikipedia:WikiProject:US Governors couldn't be moved over it. However we've now begun discussing the latter on the former's talk page... I'm going to mention this over at Requested Moves to see if an Administrator can help clear this up. -- nae'blis 06:20, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

It isn't required - you can just scrap useless stuff from the old wikiproject and copy-paste text there. It's not a good idea to fork wikiprojects, if one is inactive; just replace the old one. CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 06:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
OK, I just done that. All the old stuff was a standart template, not worth keeping. Just use the new page now. I'll put a redirect on the old one. --CP/M comm |Wikipedia Neutrality Project| 07:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Alright thanks yall. --Zonerocks 16:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
  • User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
  • User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
  • User:Badbilltucker/Science 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 to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. 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.

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now moved the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 14:39, 24 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 22:28, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Governors of New York

Would somebody check into that article & bio articles of NY Governors. The gubernatorial tenure dates are wrong. GoodDay 23:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, I've fixed them. GoodDay 15:22, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Listing of Acting Governor

I'm concerned with the accuracy of Lists, Succession boxes and Templates, concering the governors. Acting Governors should not be included, as they're only Lieutenant Governors or Secy's of State etc. GoodDay 15:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Governors of Arkansas

Would somebody please check that article? It's claims that upon Governors Dale Bumpers & David Pryor's resignations, their Lieutenant Governors Bob C. Riley & Joe Purcell (respectively) didn't become Governors. GoodDay (talk) 20:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
