message: Is anyone who does WP Kentucky work using project-wide change patrol ("ALL PROJECT PAGES" and links under it)? If not, due to performance issues in updating the mammoth page it depends on, I may need to indefinitely deprecate this feature. If anyone does use it, I need to see if I can get a bot to do the updates to that mammoth page, although I don't know in advance if that will be possible. At any rate, please let me know here if you use it. Thanks! Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 20:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Update: I've figured out how to get a bot to build the underlying big list of project-included articles on a daily basis. So there's no longer any need to do any manual updates. And there will no longer be weeks-long lag between updates. Every day will have refreshed project-wide change patrol. Enjoy! Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 12:38, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Is anyone up for an edit-a-thon to celebrate Derby 150?
Here's a few ideas I have about doing this:
# Run it during the Kentucky Derby Festival – April 20 (Thunder Over Louisville) through May 4/5 (Derby Weekend)
# The work would be focused in 3 areas, from highest to lowest priority:
## Improving and creating Derby-related articles
## Cleaning up known issues in WP Louisville and WP Kentucky articles (there are thousands!)
## Generally improving and/or creating articles within these projects
# As there is international interest in the Derby, especially this one, this could be fortuitous timing for our needs. It would make good sense to inform the entire Wiki community about it.
Thoughts? There's not a lot of time to organize it, but I think it's doable. We could create a one-pager for the event, perhaps hostable in WP Louisville. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 06:35, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Derby 150 Edit-a-thon? 

message: For the sake of the WP:DERBY150 drive I'm putting together and beyond, I created a list of WP Kentucky's issues that are over a decade old. This currently shows included articles that had tags placed on them from 2006 to 2013. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 04:48, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know why the subject article is getting such an extremely high number of views? This has been going on for months. Of course, it's great when a Kentucky article gets a lot of attention, but this amount doesn't make sense. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 18:38, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
