message: Hello! My name is Dreamafter! I, not to brag, know almost everything about Artemis Fowl. So I propose that with only 23 Wikipedians in this project that, we need to have a system of order. We need a leader, to overrule unjust decisions, a 2IC(second in-command) to have that power, for quick easy decisions (but with that power the leader could overrule them), and so forth. I would gladly like to nominate myself and 007bond for the two higher positions as we both want to see this Wikiproject grow to be the biggest in all of Wikipedia! Dreamy 20:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that your idea is a great idea.  Would you mind explaining the co-ordinator table on the main page? -007bond aka Matthew G aka codingmasters 22:27, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure! Okay, so it is as follows, those people that are lead coordinators, i.e. you and me, have full power in this project. And those people that are only coordinators, have a lot of power, but can be overruled by you or me. This is so that if we come to a dispute, we can get over it much more quickly than having to vote on it. Dreamy 02:51, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: P.S.:We need a vote, among the coordinators and lead coordinators for the head of the lead coordinators, so that if we disagree, one of us has the power to overrule the other, and if it turns out that the head was wrong, it is reverted and the 2IC(second in command) changes it to what there idea was.

message: How do we know when to remove the stub tags from articles? I recently redid Time-Stop (Artemis Fowl), and that is where this question arose from.
Also, I think there should be some system so that members can alert other members when they would like an article checked, or help on that article, without posting on this general discussion page. I think that adding some text after the article names on List of Articles would be perfect.

thread_title:  Possible source? 

message: Guys, every active person is dubbed at least a coordinator. I really think that this whole command thing is unnecessary. It really hasn't done anything or helped in any way. The point of WikiProjects is for teamwork to help improve Wikipedia. I really don't see a need for ranks. Besides, one single person (or two) should not be able to overrule everyone else. In order for something to be done, there needs to be mutual consent. I think we should get rid of the ranks. Laptopdude 21:47, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: And risk everything going down into mould? I agree however, that there should be no such ranks, but I'm quite sure 4 of us who actually look after and try to improve the Artemis Fowl articles are actually people who do not give POV or opinions. By the way, there is only 4 of us in this Active part of the Project.--Hanaichi 06:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I happen to agree with both of you. However, we need some form of order, and though all of the active people are coords, we just need more active people. If we could get more people than the system would work. If after one month, not many people are moved to the active list, than the system will be highly down-graded. Dreamy \*/!$! 21:42, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that if there were more active users the whole ranking thing would be more appropriate and helpful. That brings us to another topic. Getting more participants. Do you think it would be a good idea to post a message on the talk pages on all the inactive users' talk pages, asking them to become active again? Laptopdude 00:20, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Re:Returning editors 

message: As you guys might of noticed over the past 5 weeks, I have been extremely inactive on here in editing Artemis Fowl articles.  This is because once term started again (I'm an Australian, our terms are very different to those in the northern hemisphere) I just became too busy with everything happening, from music lessons to scouts to homework.  So, I've decided to leave this WikiProject and put myself on the inactive users list.  I probably will return around Christmas, but at the moment, I'm just far too busy to be a worthwhile leader.

message: What exactly are we defining priority as? My thoughts were that it was a combination of both class (see: Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment#Grades) and importance (notoriety and significance of a topic within the Artemis Fowl universe), not just one or the other. But seeing as we already have the class scale, would it make more sense to make importance a larger factor in priority than class?  Laptopdude  Talk  20:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought that it was how much work it needs to get to FA class, with 1 being needing most amount of work (stub) and 5 being pretty close (A) or already FA. ~ LegoKontribsTalkM 22:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it makes sense to define 'priority' as the amount of work it needs, combined with the time urgency and importance. 
Example: If Artemis Fowl II were a stub, it would be priority 1, as it both needs work and is important. Calvin 1998 Talk Contribs 00:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I hate to disagree, but it makes absolutely no sense to me to have priority be how much work an article needs. Surely that is what the class parameter is for? Why duplicate that information? Also, you might like to note that elsewhere on Wikipedia, "priority" is synonymous with "importance". And, even if we had "priority" be a separate parameter from "importance", why should "priority" be a combination of class and some hidden, intangible "importance" parameter? Surely the urgency of work on an article could be determined by its position in the table: i.e. bottom left (stub, 1) - urgently needs a lot of work, bottom right (stub, 5) - needs a lot of work but not so urgently, top row (FA) - doesn't really need work at all. So, yeah, that is basically my opinion on that. -- KittyRainbow (talk) 07:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Might I suggest that we use Template:Random portal component in order to facilitate easy rotation of articles? Essentially it allows us to compile a set of subpages of possible articles, from which it will randomly select one when someone visits the portal. (You can see this in use on Portal:Poetry - and soon, I hope, on Portal:Children and Young Adult Literature.) Then the only section that would require regular manual updates would be the news section... Although, considering that there tends to be no AF news at all for months at a time, is there even any point in having a news section? Also, since there's only about three people related to AF, it might not be worth having a "selected biography" section either! XD; -- KittyRainbow (talk) 10:13, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

text: It is but I put "So think" because I'm a fan of Artemis Fowl and there fore a match for the people. And in my version of the Eternity code on page 87, it's aurum potestas est. And it's the same in the Opal deception. Are you American? Because the american version changed the average height of a fairy from a meter to three feet. So maybe they did yet another change.Fairfieldfencer FFF 08:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Strange. I just typed those words in on Wikipedia and my version translates to gold power is. Perhaps Eoin Colfer isn't very fluent in Latin. That or Latin doesn't go the same way as English words do. So aurum potestas est actually does translate to gold is power.Fairfieldfencer FFF 09:08, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have a feeling that aurum potestas est is actually correct Latin. Some languages completely flip around words, so it appears in the wrong order when you literally translate it. Not sure though :( Calvin 1998 (t-c) 14:10, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Only one suggestion: the jyear, jmonth, jday thing is tedious to write out. Any chance you could use some parserfunctions to allow straight input of date (like 2008-07-11 or 2008-11-07)? #time: parserfunction might do the trick. The changes are good, but perhaps instead of making the user bold, how about highlighting it some color (no ideas for which color...)? Calvin 1998 (t-c) 00:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well, the reason I did bold instead of a color is because a color could interfere with the current 'yellow if greater than 30 days'.

message: Dear WikiProject Artemis Fowl participants...WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let  know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. 
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. 
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection before December 2008, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

message: I've been thinking about WP:WAF, and I my interpretation of it is that all our character pages (and much of the book pages, "object" pages, concept pages, etc.) are in a in-universe way. These really should be stubbed, merged away, or deleted. I really think that the only thing proper to talk about in these articles is press about the books, etc. Thoughts?

replies: text: Yep, I sort of agree with you. I've got serious doubts that some of the individual character pages are notable. I don't know about things like The Lower Elements, Minerva Paradizo, Lower Elements Police ... However, stuff like this I really don't think deserve their own pages. Meh.

message: This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

message: Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone.  Articles were selected based on their assessed  importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Artemis Fowl articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details.  You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010.  As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide.  Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

What happened? When will the draft replace the article? Aside from some errors, the draft is better than the bulky article (which is really a gigantic list in disguise).

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)
