[edit] Userbox

Now that this project is a task force of the Novels WikiProject, I've developed a userbox for the task force, in line with the other task forces on the WikiProject:

Musee-de-lArmee-IMG 1091.jpg This user is a member of the
Shannara task force
of the Novels WikiProject.

The code for it is quite long, but it is also consistent with the other task forces:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User Shannara task force}}

Feel free to use, modify or delete the userbox however you wish. Feel free to also add it to the task force page. Cheers. – Liveste (talk • edits) 05:38, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

  • The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
  • The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
  • A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

[edit] Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Shannara

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

[edit] Minor Locations in Shannara

Hello, I would like to propose a reorganization of the page 'Minor Locations in Shannara.

1. Since many locations span multiple books ie Culhaven, Tyrsis etc. I think it should be organised wholly alphabetically rather than by book.

2. I also think the title 'minor locations in Shannara is a bit misleading as many locations are not at all minor. Therefore I propose that it be moved to 'list of locations in Shanarra' or 'locations in Shannara' or something similar. I noticed that currently a lot of the locations are spread out over a number or articles. I don't propose we merge all of them but that we have a general article to cover all of them and then link to the others if people want more detail.

I would like to know what people here think of my proposal, The Flying Spaghetti Monster! 19:26, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to do with it what you want. :) They sound like good ideas, so carry them out! If you need any help, feel free to ask. =) Cheers! —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 19:51, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I was bold and did it XD! It's not quite finished yet but I'm nearly done. I will add references tomorrow and other locations as well. Just going to check back on simple for a bit. -The Flying Spaghetti Monster! 20:52, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Good job so far. :) —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 01:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
