message: Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:26, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

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 16:27, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Tasmania historically has had many divisions due to tourism promotion maps, local government divisions, government service boundaries, etc - like north-west, north and south (Telstra sensis phone books?)  - sometimes just north, south - west.  In the case of the project - it would be good to get a sense of what divisions this project might take - actually there is a good article in regional rivalries between the three regions for a start. It would be good to see what others might think on this SatuSuro 02:50, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Postcodes and area codes broadly follow this. 002 -> 0362 takes in Hobart, New Norfolk and the Tasman Peninsula, 003 -> 0363 takes in Launceston and the northeast and 004 --> 0364 takes in Burnie, Devonport and the north and west more broadly. Postcodes - 70 and 71 cover the south, 72 the northeast and 73 and 74 the northwest and west. I'm not sure quite where on the Midlands and Bass Highways the dividing lines are though in a cultural sense (i.e. where they stop drinking Cascasdes and start downing Boags :) Orderinchaos 14:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

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 20:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ouse 

message: I just created the stub for Albert Hall, Launceston in order to eliminate a redlink at the Albert Hall disambiguation page. While digging for references, I came across historic photos of the building on the Tasmanian State Library website, to which I've provided an external link. However, I've no clue about Australian copyright with regards to old photos, or government ownership. Does anyone know if copyright prevents us using these shots directly within the article? --DeLarge 22:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They're clearly old enough that they should be public domain, but we're on difficult ground because the State Library doesn't appear to list the year of publication, so I'm not too sure. Rebecca 01:21, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi all.  I've put up three new Tasmania specific lists: mammals, birds, and butterflies.  The mammals and birds are well populated - in that the species all have at least a stub page.  Butterflies species, on the other hand, have hardly any entries.  Any help creating stubs would be appreciated.KeresH 22:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I just found an empty History of Hobart category. Is there enough content to fill this or should it be deleted? -- Longhair\talk 16:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a considerable number of articles that would be more suitable with this cat than the simple Hobart cat - it can be populated easily as there has been minimal interest in tidying up the history of hobart article or the issues that surround it - SatuSuro 00:30, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[:Category:History of Hobart]]

message: If no one has turned out the light on this project yet, or closed the door - why not trying to have a history of hobart plan for the rest of the year? September to December for those who are not students with exams? -  the main article is wanting a major revamp - and there are surely some really good subsidiary articles that have not been given a history of hobart category tag - (maybe most of the catgeory hobart ones need changing anyway) - anyone?  Like some arts in this project - maybe a response by november :) ? SatuSuro 01:28, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry to leave you in an echo chamber.  I've been busy with real life, but I should have time post the election(s) (I do a magazine for the Tasmanian Greens, plus other sundry stuff like artwork and stuffing envelopes).  I'd be happy to grab some more photos if anyone has specific shots/subjects in mind. CheersKeresH 11:03, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Howdy! As part of the Wine Project, I developed the Tasmanian wine article from the stub Tasmanian wine regions. I was wondering if I could get the Tasmanian project's input and maybe the inclusion of any relevant details that I missed. Thanks! AgneCheese/Wine 21:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
