CIA World Factbook as a source

I would like to kindly ask your opinion on this view expressed by EconomistBR. He uses pretty strong words (sometimes close to NPA violation) to describe his revert of my map (which I, after explaining my reasons, restored). Still, I am assuming he's doing it in good faith and thus I would like to ask your opinion on the justness of his action (irrespective of the tone he uses, which probably is somewhat less typical than in regular Wikiconversations). Any comments are most appreciated in this request for comment. Pundit|utter 16:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Possible groups for Hungary and Moldova

There are now proposed subprojects for both Hungary and Moldova. Anyone interested in such a project group should indicate their interest at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Hungary work group or Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Moldova work group. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 15:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

FAR for Constitution of Belarus

Constitution of Belarus has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. ProhibitOnions ^(T) 10:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

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!

Central Europe?

I think that this Project is based on the Cold War division of Europe. It is now generally admitted that Central Europe is one of the regions of Europe. Here it's still divided between Western and Eastern Europe with Iron Curtain as a border. Montessquieu (talk) 09:03, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

With "Central Europe" (ie. Eastern Europe in the EvW mentality), doesn't "Eastern Europe" just become former parts of the Soviet Union in Europe (possibly not including Karelia, the Kola, the Baltics, Belarus, Kaliningrad, Moldova) - (possibly only parts of Russia, the Caucuses, Ukraine, ?Khazakstan?) ? 70.51.10.188 (talk) 12:08, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

There's always "Northern Europe", "Southern Europe", "Central Europe"; "West Europe" (France, the low countries, Denmark), "Southwest Europe" (Iberia, Corsica, Sardinia), "Northwest Europe" (The British Isles, Orkneys, Iceland, Svalbard, etc), "South Europe" (Balkans, Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, european Turkey, Cyprus, Crete, Italy, Sciliy), "Northeast Europe" (Russia (north of 60, in Europe), Finland, the Baltics, Kaliningrad), "East Europe" (Russia, Ukraine), "Southeast Europe" (Russia, the Caucuses, ?Kazakstan?), "North Europe" (Scandinavia), and everything else is in the centre. 70.51.10.188 (talk) 12:16, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Eastern Europe

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!

Outside voices

Some outside voices would be very helpful at Talk:Sveta Gera#RfC: Article naming. There is a dispute over the proper name for the mountain and therefore for the article. Thank you for any neutral input you may provide! Vassyana (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
