WP:AFL

Hi mate, I suggest you take a look at Portal:Australian rules football and join WikiProject AFL if you love your footy. Also take a look at Category:VFL/AFL players and let us know on WP:AFL if we should expand our SANFL coverage. Drop us a line with any questions mate.

Hi Raider2044. Thanks for fixing that error on my userbox page, and for your great additions relating to AFL. I hope you enjoy contributing to Wikipedia. Blarneytherinosaur 11:05, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject ASP/memberlist

I moved this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject ASP/memberlist and will delete the redirect now. Pages like this should only exist in project space (with the Wikipedia: prefix) and not in article space. If you have questions about this, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 21:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

AFL season article naming convention

As a participant of WikiProject AFL I thought you might be interested in this. I have started a vote to get a consensus on the naming convention for AFL season articles. You can participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL#AFL season article naming convention. Cheers. Remy B 13:28, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

F1 portal featured article

The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One#Suggestions_for_Featured_Article: and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:34, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NBL

Hey Raider2044,

I am the founder of the NBL project, and noticed you are a Tigers fan. I was wondering if you would like to join us. Please go to WikiProject NBL and add your name to the members list, and drop a line on the talk page. There are a couple of templates that need to be made and also we need to make season articles and player articles.

Please consider, Jasrocks 07:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Selected articles on Portal:F1

Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
