Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Slayer

message: I have just created the Megadeth Wikiproject. But I think that the scope is too narrow (just Megadeth) and I think that the Metal Genre Wikiproject is too large of a scope to handle everything. I propose that we make a Wikiproject Big Four, or something to that effect to cover the Big Four American Metal bands, Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax. I'm eager to hear any opinions. Adumbvoget 08:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That idea actually sounds brilliant. Not only is the scope size appropriate, but its topic spans the importance and evolution of modern day heavy metal branches such as thrash metal, speed metal and glam metal. I'm surprised this has not been suggested before as it makes complete sense in terms of heavy metal coverage. If at all, I would be more than honoured to create a nourish such a project. Let me know what you think. Megazodiac 02:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Every once in a while, someone thinks it's great to start a WikiProject. In truth though, that's the easy part. Write some GAs / FAs on Big Four related articles, then I might change my opinion. Before then though, I don't think there are enough active contributors to warrant such a project.

thread_title: Proposal Big Four Wikiproject

message: Lets do it again in March :) Dave Lombardo and Still Reigning are currently GAC's, and Lucifer is almost done with Eyes of the Insane, I'm going to be editing Show No Mercy. Any recommendations for articles that should be fairly easy to bring up to GA? M3tal H3ad 07:41, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll be working on "Jihad (song)" in my sandbox as a future GA possibility. I'd recommend Paul Bostaph as a future GA possibility, and also / especially Kerry King. Hopefully Christ Illusion will pass its FAC to make 2 FAs for the Project. LuciferMorgan 01:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll pick Bostaph, this interview basically covers his whole career with all the band he's been in, but has nothing on early life. As for King, well he never talks about his early life, always about how good he is, and today's "we're the most underground band" was just stupid. I'll see what i can do thanks, Jihad is coming along nicely and gl with Christ. :). M3tal H3ad 02:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I'll likely see if I can get "Eyes of the Insane" to GA sometime also. As the GAs clock up, we should keep an eye on which ones could most likely be future FACs. With Bostaph, strip away the headings and make it more like the other Slayer bios etc., but of course don't concentrate too much on his Slayer work - give equal time to his other bands. Oh, and see if you can find a better picture than the current one - I loathe the current one. By the way, you should've given me a shout when you started GHUA in your sandbox as I could help out - I think it should follow the "Christ Illusion" format, as controversy comes after "Reception". Ie. band releases album, critics review it, controversy happens over cover blah blah. Anyway, wish for help with GHUA, or you want your sandbox to yourself? :) LuciferMorgan 03:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Five GA's in February

message: Per WP:BOLD, I have addressed the problems with these two articles;
1. "Blood Red" didn't have enough factual info to warrant its own article, so all the salvageable info was merged into the "Seasons in the Abyss" article and the BR article made a redirect.
2. The "Jesus Saves" article had numerous entries for different things with that name, though the Slayer entry had nothing apart from fancruft. This has been eradicated, and an italicized note above the article for those looking for the Slayer song to refer to Reign in Blood.
This means the project now has two less articles, and so does the Slayer template. If anyone has reasonable objections, message me on my talk page. Thanks for your time. LuciferMorgan 03:29, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good to me. M3tal H3ad 05:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Come to think of it, i don't think "Behind the Crooked Cross", "Mandatory Suicide", "Dead Skin Mask" and "Seasons in the Abyss" should have their own article, most of the info is speculation of what the song is about. M3tal H3ad 12:29, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Zap the fancruft! Good work guys :) --kingboyk 13:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well zap them then M3tal H3ad I would like I did with the other two. Merge any worthy info into the main album article, make it a redirect, and then delink the song in the Slayer template (you can still keep the song name there). Aside from some critical reception, there's nothing that can be added to those four song articles at present. If some good sources turn up in the future, we can revert the redirect and then clean up the song article in question. If we zap those 4, that would hit us down to 30.

thread_title: Wow

message: You know I have the utmost respect for you guys, and I'm well aware that as writers we snap up all the Featured "awards" we can get, but Wikipedia:Featured topic candidates/Christ Illusion is a bit of a joke isn't it? An article on an album and 2 singles that it spawned doesn't make much of a "topic" AFAIC. At the very least I'd like to see Slayer (band) included (and better still, such micro-topics disallowed: all of Slayer should be at FA/GA or none at all). Anyway, I commented at Wikipedia talk:Featured topics/Christ Illusion.
Of course, I am going to straight away go scrutinise The KLF list to see what smaller topics I might attack, "if you can't beat them join them" :) Cheers guys --kingboyk (talk) 22:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: ''Seasons in the Abyss''

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
* The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
* The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
* A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

message: Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: WP 1.0 bot announcement

message: Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
# supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
# opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.

message: 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) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comment on the WikiProject X proposal 

message: 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.
