Well, your change and my revert brought the page to the attention of the Wikipedia editors who are now deciding if the page is even worthy enough to be hosted on Wikipedia.  :( Squashua

Wiki-Winos

edit

Howdy, I was curious if you would be interested in participating in an upcoming Wiki-Winos feature for the Wine Project Newsletter. If you are, take a look at the Interview Questionnaire and feel free to answer any or all of the questions that you like. For reference, you may want to look at how the interview with our last Wiki-Wino (User:Charleenmerced)) went in our Feb 18th newsletter. You might also consider dropping off a nominee for the next Wine Improvement Drive Article. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a line on my talk page. That would also be where you would respond to the Wiki-Winos questionnaire. Thanks! AgneCheese/Wine 19:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Apologies to everyone for this notification being sent out so late, events in real life prevented me from distributing it at the time, and the Wine Project's had a bit of a lull during the Northern Hemsiphere summer. But as the nights draw in, activity should pick up again, and hopefully the next Newsletter will arrive a little more quickly....

The next few weeks are the perfect time to take photos of grapes in the Northern Hemisphere - get your cameras out! FlagSteward 16:03, 1 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Would you be willing to translate a French wiki article?

edit

Hey Ryan, you listed yourself on WP:WINE as a volunteer translator for French wine articles. I recently noticed how nice the fr:Vin rosé article was and wondered if you would be willing to translate and incorporate some of that info into our rosé article?

Important Wine Project discussion needs input!

edit

Hello, the Wine Project is currently in the process of hammering out a proposed policy relating to Wikipedia:Notability (wine topics). As Wikipedia and its wine coverage continues to grow, the need for a clear, concise guideline on how Wikipedia's notability policies such as WP:CORP, WP:SIGCOV and WP:NOTE relate to wine articles has emerged. Please review the proposed policy and take part in the talk page discussion Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(wine_topics)#Ready_to_go_live.3F. All input and view points are welcomed.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month.
