Portal update

I've done a long-belated update of the portal, with two new Selected Articles, Capesthorne Hall & All Saints' Church, Runcorn, and a new Selected Picture, Handforth Hall, as well as updates to the News & Recent Articles. I only found two new DYKs (All Saints' Church, Runcorn & William Owen (architect)) so I haven't updated that yet; if anyone knows of any more do let me know.

Since adding the portal links to various high-traffic pages, the monthly hits on the portal have gone up a bit: averaging around 1100 to 1350 hits/month before, and around 2250 to 2750 since. There are slightly more hits in months where I update, though that might just be me refreshing it repetitively to check that the new items show.

I have just relocated to Scotland, so I'm going to be less in touch with Cheshire news in future. I'll try to keep on top of updates but I'm going to be very busy for the next few months. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:05, 21 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've done another small update, adding Paula Radcliffe to the biographies, a new quotation and a DYK set. I've finished rolling out links to the portal in relevant B/C class & high-importance articles, as well as all CPs with a separate list of listed buildings and so an excuse for a "See also" section. Feel free to add the link elsewhere, of course, or remove it if you feel it isn't suitable.
There doesn't seem to be much activity in the new articles picked up by the bot, so I might remove that section in the future as it's a fair amount of work to keep up, with all the bot's false positives. Does anyone actually use it to find new articles? Espresso Addict (talk) 23:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Cheshire West and Chester Civil Parish Changes

There have been a number of changes to the Civil Parishes of Cheshire West and Chester, as of 1st April 2015.

All the details are provided at Cheshire West and Chester website.

How do we propose to get the pages updated? Some Civil Parishes now do not exist (e.g. Burton, Gowy - which I have reworded - and Iddinshall), so what do we propose to do with them?
