== I need your mentorship == |
|||
Hi, |
|||
I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I saw your name over at [[WP:ADOPT]]. |
|||
I need your advice concerning [[WP:WPOOK]], which I've been coordinating. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at [[Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge#Projected outline]], and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia. |
|||
The goals of the WikiProject are: |
|||
# Increase awareness of readers of the existence of the outlines on Wikipedia |
|||
# Complete the existing outlines |
|||
# Create an outline for every subject that is extensive enough to benefit from having an outline (core subjects and major or extensive fields). There are thousands of these. |
|||
# Recruit as many editors to work on these as possible (we need thousands of editors working on these) |
|||
# Surpass portals in number by the end of the summer, and leave them in the dust by the end of the year |
|||
# Get the major outline subject areas displayed on the [[Main Page]] (in place of or in addition to the portal links at the top of the page) |
|||
# Increase the OOK to higher quality than [[Encyclopaedia Britannica|Britannica's]] Outline of Knowledge (published in its [[Propaedia]] volume). |
|||
I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above. |
|||
Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Wikipedia. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Wikipedia's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Wikipedia, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help. |
|||
I would also like to know how to find or attract editors to create new outlines. And I need advice on finding editors to help write the new outline article mentioned above (it needs to be fleshed out, completely referenced, and brought to featured article status). |
|||
Please recommend anyone you know who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this. Or ways to reach groups of editors. Or ways to reach all editors. I welcome any and all recommendations and advice you might have. |
|||
And any thoughts on attaining the WikiProject goals above. |
|||
I look forward to your reply on my talk page. |

Request for help
I thought it might be a good idea to run a contest or two through the Countries WikiProject to attract editors to improve country coverage on Wikipedia, especially the country outlines.
I noticed you are a member of the WikiProject, and was wondering if you could help.
I've posted a message at Countries WikiProject talk page to get discussion started on what the awards programs should be and how they should be run.
Your ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I need your mentorship
Hi,
I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I saw your name over at WP:ADOPT.
I need your advice concerning WP:WPOOK, which I've been coordinating. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Outline of knowledge#Projected outline, and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia.
The goals of the WikiProject are:
- Increase awareness of readers of the existence of the outlines on Wikipedia
- Complete the existing outlines
- Create an outline for every subject that is extensive enough to benefit from having an outline (core subjects and major or extensive fields). There are thousands of these.
- Recruit as many editors to work on these as possible (we need thousands of editors working on these)
- Surpass portals in number by the end of the summer, and leave them in the dust by the end of the year
- Get the major outline subject areas displayed on the Main Page (in place of or in addition to the portal links at the top of the page)
- Increase the OOK to higher quality than Britannica's Outline of Knowledge (published in its Propaedia volume).
I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above.
Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Wikipedia. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Wikipedia's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Wikipedia, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help.

Please recommend anyone you know who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this. Or ways to reach groups of editors. Or ways to reach all editors. I welcome any and all recommendations and advice you might have.
And any thoughts on attaining the WikiProject goals above.
I look forward to your reply on my talk page.
