Disconcerting

With all the content, and all the millions of users, it's depressing how much time is spent weighing deletion of valid content. Also, I find the constant review of what's "encyclopedic" takes away news that might be viewed in retrospect as a critical event, while keeping meaningless tripe on Entertainment and celebrity issues! Note bono: lack of ties between current paleontology discoveries and "historical" info. I think Wiki "managers" are keeping Wikipedia "current" with the *20th* century! 71.136.160.3 17:20, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

If someone feels it could be better, go right ahead and change it. The newsletter page is right here. An assessment department has been set up. To find out how to assess an article, go to the assessment page. I have asked Snowolf if his bot could help in tagging articles.

WikiProject Golf

Hi Mil8
I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future. Grover 10:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
