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) 04:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Photo request: Colgan Air

Would anyone mind fulfilling a photo request I have? There is the Colgan Air headquarters at Manassas Airport - Would anyone mind photographing it? Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 11:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

GA reassessment of Bruce Hornsby

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns which you can see at Talk:Bruce Hornsby/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Roanoke Region and Roanoke Metropolitan Area Articles

I want to suggest merging the Roanoke Region of Virginia and Roanoke metropolitan area articles because they have similar content. It looks as if the "Roanoke Region" is a name for the metropolitan area, similar to the way Greater Boston is the popular name for the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy MSA, and Greater Richmond for Richmond-Petersburg.

A Task Force

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in working with me to form a Northern Virginia Task Force. I remind you that Northern Virginia is a major part of Virginian Political Demographics as well as containing the burgeoning Dulles Technology Corridor. Is anyone interested?

I'm working on the full proposal, but I need some members. I think I can drum up two, but if anyone can help it would be appreciated. 226Trident (talk) 04:58, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I would be happy to help, but I think that maybe we should create it as a subdivision of WP:VIRGINIA, because we certainly need more members. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 22:28, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I would also be interested in helping out with such a task force.--Chuck369 (talk) 23:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Alright, everyone. It has been created as an official Task Force of Wikiproject Virginia. Feel free to go and join! Click here for the Task Force page. Also, if you join, copy and paste the Userbox into your User Page. {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Virginia/Outreach/User Northern Virginia Task Force task force}}226Trident (talk) 00:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

226Trident, you spelled WikiProject as Wikiproject on the project page (and I will be the LAST person to pick on poor speelers ;-). Looking around, it seems like most projects use WikiProject. Also, the link has a backslash in "Virginia\Northern Virginia" but the project has a forward slash in "Virginia/Northern Virginia".--Chuck369 (talk) 01:58, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest?

Would it be a conflict of interest or partial to rate an article which you yourself created on the project's quality scale? -BLM Platinum (talk) 17:25, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Here is my opinion (NOT commonly accepted consensus). I believe that if you actively work on a page and are a member of the WikiProject which does the rating, then you can assess your articles in the Stub-Start-C class rating area. You should probably get some other eyes looking at it for B class, and once you get to GA class, a third party MUST rate and assess your article as part of the GA review. The actual, commonly accepted guidelines are that any member of the assessing WikiProject can assess the page until it reaches the GA review, and at that time, the reviewers of the page must not be actively involved in editing it. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

New editor needs assistance with first article

I am soliciting support from this project's members to lend a hand to a new editor User Talk:Commvolunteer and their first article Virginia Canals and Navigations Society. The article was PRODed but no one has attempted to help this editor or article. Certainly a 33 year society has recieved sufficient coverage in 3rd party sources to support notability. This editor just needs help finding them. Thanks--Mike Cline (talk) 21:44, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

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 Virginia/Archive 5/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject Virginia/Archive 5/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 23:17, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of project subpages

In order to streamline the project a bit, and because of the low numbers of editors we have in the project, I am proposing that we remove our divisions structure. In doing this two subpages would be deleted:

• History
• Education

I think that this is in the best interest of the WikiProject, and both pages have not been edited for at least two years. Of course, all concerns can go here at this talk page. I will list these pages at MfD soon unless we feel that they are necessary. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 01:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, a few editors are going to march through the 29 NRHPs itemized in National Register of Historic Places listings in Henrico County, Virginia to start or develop good starter articles, starting about now (5/5/2010). Each article is to include inline references to the good NRHP nomination documents, photos, maps made available by Virginia's Department of Historic Resources, whose Henrico County documents are indexed here. Please join in! Any suggestions for DYK nominations, comments, questions welcome. :) Please join discussion at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Henrico County, Virginia. --doncram (talk) 17:02, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
