Discussion about WikiProject banner templates

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Narration

While this is properly sourced as is, and a solid B-Class article, it is missing many examples and some comparisons. With these improvements, it will easily become a Good Article. Can somebody please work on it? Bearian (talk) 16:19, 8 January 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of contemporary writers from northern Uruguay

The article List of contemporary writers from northern Uruguay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Tagged as Unreferenced for 15 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article or list from which to translate. Unsourced, it implicates WP:BLP. In ordinary times, not a big problem, but nowadays, this is a legal risk. This is a fork of List of Uruguayan writers.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Bearian (talk) 03:06, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

The Path to Rome at FAC

Hello all, I have recently nominated Hilaire Belloc's fantastic 1902 travelogue The Path to Rome for Featured Article status and would appreciate any input and (hopefully) support there. It should appeal to anyone interested in European literature (especially British) or literature from around the turn of the 19th century. ThaesOfereode (talk) 20:58, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
