Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Abandoned Articles/Archives/2007/2

message: I was wondering if any1 here knows any search engine that is able to filter away the welcome to abc website messages? As i was searching for welcome, i went to other webpages instead of the ones i am looking for. 
p/s: i was searching for new entries for welcome. E.g. a new novel, a new tv show and etc. Luffy487 09:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  help 

message: I don't know if it's somehere on the project page, but maybe we could have another procedure added to the list.  I was thinking tht right after someone takes  charge of a page that they should try to put a template on the talk page of other Wikiprojects that could help with it.  Just a suggestion though, of course. —¡Randfan!Sign here? 21:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

:In such way, we could edit articles which we understand or have personal interest in. 
:However, as regarding to the current method used to remove articles from the list after one edit, I believe it is a better way of editing rather than touching or having no edit at all. As seen from the WikiProject Abandoned Articles project page, the main goals are to find editors who would be interested in maintaining and improving these articles. While we may or may not be  interested in those articles let alone be the ones who are going to have so much time  consistently edit those articles. Luffy487 09:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Articles which need to be adopted

message: Hi all! As regarding to the opinions given by I'll bring the food and Ninety, I sincerely propose my new suggestions to develope this WikiProject to make it more user friendly.
First of all, I would like to commend John Broughton for spending so much time in making blocks for us. However, I believe there is a need to categorize articles according to its topic instead of making blocks. This is to allow different users with different interest to choose articles which they would like to adopt. 
Changes in procedure for editing:
* 1. Strike the name of the article(s) which u have adopted at the project page.
* 2. If the project template is not already on the article's talk page, add it there. Type  at the top of the article's talk page.
* 3. Do a yahoo or google search on the article, and possibly expand or update the article. (Or maybe some minor editing, spelling, punctuation correction.)
* 4. Categorize the article by adding Category:Abandoned Articles at the bottom of the article.
* 5. Watchlist the article. 
* 6. Look through user categories, or WikiProject categories/the WikiProject Directory and find WikiProjects that may be interested in the article. 
* 7. Contact the user(s), or WikiProject and tell them that WP:PJAA believes that they may be interested in the article, and that it would be appreciated if they would continue editing it. 
* 8. Continue repeating steps 6 & 7 until you find that the article is being consistently edited (like once a week or more) by people not members of this project. And remove the Category:Abandoned Articles at the bottom of the article.
If any members have found any difficulties in adopting the articles, they may seek help from discussion.
This is my sincere proposal to improve this WikiProject, making it more user friendly and attracting new members to join us. Luffy487 14:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It may well be, I have no idea, but we are all working collaboratively so it doesn't matter who said it first. I certainly motion for this to become the new AA standard for seeking regular edits. Can we have the category automatically linked to the talk page template? That way no separate category adding is reqd.--I'll bring the food (Talk - Contribs - My Watchlist) 10:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry for the late reply. I was away for quite sometime. Haha nineteenninetyfour is right. I borrow his idea and improvise it. However, his idea was rejected somehow. So i was wondering if this idea is feasible? Luffy487 03:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
