Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Method engineering

message: I'm not sure this is a proper Wikipedia article. I'm sure the MEE is a good project for Wikipedia but a page such as User:YourUsername/Method Engineering Encyclopedia would be more appropriate. The article page should be informative/encyclopedic. Correct me if I'm wrong. --moyogo
*I agree with you. This information should be on a user-page, not an encyclopedia page. Victor Gijsbers 07:19, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Project contributors?

message: Hello everybody. Questions have arisen (see here and here) as to the conformity of this project's articles with key Wikipedia policies, such as
*Neutral point of view
*No original research
*Only verifiable information
*Cite reliable sources
*Wikipedia is not a how-to manual
Content that fails to conform to these policies may be proposed for deletion by anyone as per the deletion policy. However, it appears that this project is producing high-quality bona fide content which could (and does already) contribute substantially to the encyclopedia and should thus be saved from deletion. For this reason, I suggest that the project's participants:
# Read up on Wikipedia policies, particularly the ones cited above, as well as the five pillars of Wikipedia.
# Read some featured articles and the Manual of Style to get a feel for how scientific content is most suitably displayed on Wikipedia.
# Work on improving the articles according to the policies, in particular by:
## to prevent WP:OR and WP:POV, making sure that what you are talking about is the state of the art in a notable, accepted branch of your science and not your synthesis of various proposals or even your own ideas and methods,
## citing sources, e.g. using WP:FOOTNOTEs,
## moving content that will always be "how-to", e.g. how to manage this or that business process, to Wikibooks, a sister project suitable for such content.

thread_title:  Wikipedia standards 

message: # Would all people from Utrecht who contribute, please mark their articles (on the talk page or edit summary) with a link to this project page? That will greatly help in enabling us to apply a consistent policy to these articles.
# Having said that, I strongly recommend that you review whether this is the right place for your project. You describe yourselves as researchers and, time and time again it has been stated no original research is allowed on Wikipedia. I think you might be happier creating your own Wiki on a server at the University of Utrecht. -- RHaworth 10:52, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cent 

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.  B2T2 00:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Project directory 

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention.  Badbilltucker 18:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Infobox engineer

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) 22:47, 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.
