Coconut soup. That's like a combination of The Cocoanuts and Duck Soup.

Reviving a defunct wikiproject

Hi Northamerica1000 and Graham87,
I was thinking about reviving Wikipedia:WikiProject Criminal Biography/Organized crime. I have not yet decided it though. During the period it went defunct, I think there wasn't much activity and/or articles regarding it. But now there is. I am willing to contribute heavily to kick-start the project. There is a lot of tasks to do as per this page Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/MadMax List/1. There are further more activities which have not been included in that page. I mean, if worked on that project properly, it will definitely become a full fledged project.

I am contacting you two cuz you are experienced/knowledgeable editors (nothing to with being sysops), and one of the very few editors connected to the project who are still active.

I am aware that the project will not get attention as soon as it is revived (again). I am also willing to userfy it in my userspace till it becomes active/notable enough to moved to wikipedia mainspace; as per this.

Looking forward to discuss this further. Kindly ping me when you reply. Thanks :-) —usernamekiran(talk) 18:47, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: All I did was move a page on the project, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Criminal Biography/Organized crime/Wikipedia, and re-add an old message. Graham87 00:41, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But do you have any suggestions Graham? Like, should it be revived or not, and if yes, which method should be used for that purpose?

—usernamekiran(talk) 00:47, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: I have no idea. Graham87 01:24, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham87: hmm —usernamekiran(talk) 01:28, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Usernamekiran: If you decide to revive the project, below are some tips.

Notify current project members
Research and invite prospective project members (e.g. people interested in the topic, who edit in this area)
Provide links to project subpages on the main project page (e.g. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Criminal Biography/Organized crime/wikipedia
Provide links to the project on other Wikiproject pages
Create a project banner for talk pages and a corresponding Quality scale page (e.g. such as this). Then assess pages.

Just a few ideas. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:06, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot. :-) I already have some editors in my mind, havent talked to them yet though. But do you think it should be revived? And also, if I revive it, should I do it in my user space, at its current location, or in wikispace? I dont think mainspace would be a good idea in early days. —usernamekiran(talk) 21:15, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Usernamekiran: I'd probably go for it, but I am biased in favor of Wikiprojects in general. You have the benefit of a project that has a skeleton already in place. I have created two Wikiprojects from scratch, WikiProject Brands and WikiProject Breakfast, which takes a bit more work, and also converted the Cleanup page into a Wikiproject (Wikiproject Cleanup), which took less work. You could improve on the page in a sandbox page first, and then incept when you're ready. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:31, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

erm... I didnt understand the suggestion about sandbox. What i was thinking is: to create a project page in my userspace first, then to contact the active editors related to project articles, and then to provide link on other wikiprojects. —usernamekiran(talk) 21:51, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Usernamekiran: It's up to you. Personally, I would work on components of the project in a sandbox, and then just update the page directly where it's at (here). That way, potential participants would be seeing the improved project page immediately, rather than on a user draft page. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 21:54, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

yes, this is more logical. And you did a huge mistake about admitting your contributions to Brands, and Breakfast. Now be prepared cuz I will be asking you many doubts if I come across any lol. Thanks again. I will try my best to not to bother you, but i cant guarantee it. See you around :-) —usernamekiran(talk) 22:03, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Usernamekiran: No bother at all, feel free to discuss matters/ask questions anytime. Again, I'm a Wikiproject fan! North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:06, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

5,00,000 edits

You just made it lol. I will find a nice photo or barnstar tomorrow, and replace this message with it. Happy editing! —usernamekiran(talk) 22:23, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: Thanks. How embarrassing... Actually, I perform a lot of automated edits, such as relisting deletion discussions, deletion sorting, etc. and also lots of minor edits, such as adding links to See also sections in articles, etc. So, a lot of those edits are not supreme in nature.

Also, check out the Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized crime page now, which I have made some additions to. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:39, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: Also, I've joined the project (see here). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:14, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Thanks a lot! I am currently on mobile (Blackberry Q5), so cant contribute right now. Also, its 5am here and I should try to sleep lol. See you tomorrow. :-) —usernamekiran(talk) 23:40, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernamekiran: Yeah, I avoid editing using smartphones...too much of a hassle. Keep in touch. Cheers, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 23:42, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
