Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City/Theatre

Older NY theater

I've added myself to the participant list. I don't really expect to be too active in it, but I've written probably the majority of what is in Wikipedia on Yiddish theater, about half of it about theater in NYC. Also, someone might want to ping BrianSmithson, who has done a lot of work on blackface minstrelsy (on which I've also done a little). -- Jmabel | Talk 07:48, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

"Theatre"?

Since this is about New York, shouldn't the title be Theater? User:Zoe|^(talk) 16:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

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 put 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 00:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Links to Official Theatre Sites

Hi, I'm new here (from an editing perspective), stumbled on this project because I was reading some of the articles on the various Broadway theatres, and noticed some of them didn't have links to the official websites for the theatres. Some did. So I started adding the links to make it consistent. Whoops! I was swiftly told to discuss it here before doing so. Does anyone have any objections to the various New York Theatres having links to the official sites/pages for those theatres? It primarily applies to Broadway, although some of the Off Broadway theatres also seem to have official sites. The sites generally include historical information as well as current information about what is going on at that theatre. Jtattenbaum 22:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

If there is an article on an individual theatre, it definintely should link that theatre's official site. - Jmabel | Talk 20:23, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the response. Sorry for the delay in my reply--I've been away for the holidays.Jtattenbaum 15:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

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 16:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
