Wikipedia talk:WikiProject French departments

List of political and geographic subdivisions by total area

Hi, I'd appreciates some help in adding the French départements to this list. Cheers! bd2412 T 21:37, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Discussion to organise this project as a taskforce of WikiProject France

Please see the discussion to voice your opinion. I believe this would be a good idea: the change would allow the projects to be logically cohesive and it would promote more centralized discussion among francophones/editors interested in French/France articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazulilasher (talk • contribs) 14:38, 11 October 2008‎ (UTC)

Loire department, river confusion

I've just now discovered this WikiProject! So I thought I'd better report something you may wish to know...

I recently had the following page moves done:

1. Loire --> Loire (department)
2. Loire (river) --> Loire

In other words, the Loire article is now about the river, not the department. More clarification at Talk:Loire (department).

However, a problem remains. A large number of articles have links to Loire that need updating to Loire (department). Unfortunately a number of articles have links to Loire where the river is obviously intended, which means those ones should not be updated (they were wrong before, but are now right, if that makes sense). This means we can't simply get a bot to update them, so it all has to be done manually (which is what I'm doing now, very slowly).

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
