These are pretty easy for any editor to use, and the children's lit category is pretty darn big. Any thoughts? ♥ Her Pegship♥ 19:52, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Me again 

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages: 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
*User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
*User:Badbilltucker/Science 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 to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. 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.

replies: text: Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now moved the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 14:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello.  I was browsing some userpages and find a userbox about being a member of this WikiProject.  Wanted to let you know that the combination of the orangeish font with the yellowish background makes it seem like a red link, and is misleading to a reader, who might think no such WikiProject exists.

thread_title:  New stub type 

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 17:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

message: On the project page it says about infobox templates: "Any reason not just to encourage use of Biography?" I find Infobox Writer is more useful for people who wholly notable as writers. Any thoughts about why one or the other might be preferable? Random Passer-by (talk) 17:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Dear WikiProject Children's literature - 
I created a page about the character Finn Whitman from the book The Kingdom Keepers.  Apparently I have a few reliability problems that need to be sorted out before the article becomes more appropriate.  All I need to have is at least two other sources that cite The Kingdom Keepers book or is about The Kingdom Keepers.  I will be on the lookout, Google, Yahoo, etc., and will be looking for books, articles, and other things that pertain to The Kingdom Keepers and Finn Whitman.  If you need to discuss anything with me, I'd be happy to chat.  Thanks so much and sorry if I sounded rude or angry (neither of which I am)!!

message: Hi, this concerns my article A Suspicion of Toads
I understand that the plot section is too long, and I am going to shorten it.  However, how long would you recommend it should be - how long should a good plot section be?
