WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:21, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Konstantine II of Kartli

Why someone tries to present that as if the Kartli line more legitimate than Kaheti line? In the list it is specified that tsar Konstantin II (1478-1505) as though once was the king of all Georgia - it is a blunder! because last king of all Georgia was George VIII (1446-1476)who has been compelled to leave a throne of Georgia and to move in Kaheti. After that Georgia has collapsed on three kingdoms. The King Konstantine (Constantine) II never was the king of all Georgia !!! Therefore claims of a line of Kaheti more legitimate, than of a line of Kartli. Also it is necessary to notice that a line of kings of Kartli has stopped in 1919. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.54.240.68 (talk) 12:29, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

King Konstantine II's reign over Georgia is documented at the bottom of the page on Royal Ark's article on the Bagrationi here. If you have verifiable corrections, please cite your source. Also, you posted your comment at the beginning of this Talk page instead of at the end. As noted on your talk page previously, please study the rules for editing Wikipedia so that your contributions do not get changed or deleted. Thanks. FactStraight (talk) 11:48, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Georgia (country)

Unreferenced living people articles bot

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Georgia (country)/Archive 4/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

2010 Georgian news report hoax

Some volunteers to check the article 2010 Georgian news report hoax for neutrality? Демоны Врубеля/Vrubel's Demons (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Line of succession to the Georgian throne

Line of succession to the Georgian throne (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Is there anyone here with the ability and patience to sort out the madness that is going on at the talk page of this article? I am currently trying to remove most articles of this kind for lack of notability and because it's almost impossible in most cases to find reliable sources that list the theoretical heirs to an abolished throne. Hans Adler 09:25, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

The madness continues. Is there anyone willing to deal with it, or do we have to delete the article as an unmaintainable POV pushing forum? Hans Adler 10:46, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

Standard romanization of Georgian

Hi, as a spin-off of the discussion at Talk:Tsqaltubo, I would like to propose a standard romanization scheme for Georgian names. For similar schemes for other languages/alphabets see Wikipedia:Romanization and the general rules at Wikipedia:Article titles#Foreign names and anglicization. There are several existing schemes listed at Georgian alphabet#Transcription. I'd prefer to use a version without apostrophs for article titles, for instance like in the table below (which equals the Georgian national system of romanization and the BGN/PCGN romanization, apostrophs omitted).

Merge proposal of Armenians in Samtskhe-Javakheti

I have made a proposal to merge Armenians in Samtskhe-Javakheti to Samtskhe-Javakheti based upon reasons presented at Talk:Samtskhe-Javakheti#Merge_discussion. Interested project members should present opinions at the article talk page discussion, and hopefully come up with a solution to what are valid concerns with the article. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 08:33, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Borchali

Is Borchali the same entity as what the NGA GNS calls Borchalinskiy Rayon? -- The Anome (talk) 17:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Merge Public investigation of the Ossetian War into 2008 South Ossetia war?

It seems to me that the content of Public investigation of the Ossetian War would be better served by merging it into 2008 South Ossetia war. Comments? Richwales (talk · contribs · review) 05:00, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

On further reflection, I think the stuff at Public investigation of the Ossetian War doesn't seem to be substantial enough to merit more than an additional sentence or two (if even that!) in 2008 South Ossetia war. After two years of being tagged as requiring improvement on numerous counts, that page is probably more of a candidate for deletion than a useful source of material for a merger.

Georgia (country) articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Georgia (country) articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Vera Kobalia BLP edits

Jimbo Wales made a potentially controversial edit on BLP grounds at this article about a Georgian politician.[1][2] I believe he over-erred on the side of BLP sensitivity but not egregiously so; other experienced editors may see it differently from either of our points of view. See the discussion at Talk:Vera Kobalia#Controversies section. I am posting this here in the interests of getting a broader consensus among experienced editors -- please review the comments and edits, then weigh in with your thoughtful opinions, pro or con (or otherwise). Thanks! --A. B. (talkcontribs) 12:32, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

  • As the creator of the article whose edit Wales removed, I think he was working to a more strict interpretation of BLP than I personally take, but I think one that is well within the bounds of acceptable editing. I disagree with the removal of the material, but no more than I would disagree with anyone else's editing of words I've written (that's what we do here, after all), and certainly not enough to wheel war about it. If that footnote in her biography does prove durable and lasting, I see no reason to reinstate it, particularly after some time has passed, and if secondary coverage emerges that is not merely reactive and treating her as the scandal-du-jour. His deletion was not the call I'd make, but I don't think it was a bad call. Ford MF (talk) 17:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject cleanup listing

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:26, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Political Parties

More should be done on the pages representing the different political parties of Georgia. Many are no longer in existence, and some have no history past 2003. Numerous have biased history and no facts about them. Sixdown (talk) 21:11, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
