message: I'm currently trying to create the various categories and technical pages for the project, largely duplicating the WP:KENT set-up since I used that template as a starting point. Can someone take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unionism/Assessment and have a go at refining the copy&paste guidelines while I focus on the technical side?

message: Before this really gets going, can I ask if Unionism really the best name for the project? Would Irish Unionism or Unionism in Ireland or Unionism (Ireland) not be better? Unionism on it's own, to me, and I suspect to an international audience, would mean trade unionism.
What is the support like for a quick move before we really start kicking things off? --sony-youthpléigh 19:30, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: My preference would be Irish Unionism or Unionism (Ireland)Traditional unionist (talk) 22:44, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unionism (Ireland) could lead to the same problem with confusion with trade unionism, whereas Unionism in Ireland would cover Unionism prior to 1921.--Padraig (talk) 22:47, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless the project plans to cover UK wide unionism it should be moved. --Barryob  (Contribs) (Talk) 01:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

text: OK, I've done the move, but a strange thing happened. The articles are still in :Category:WikiProject Unionism articles, but some are now in :Category:WikiProject Unionism in Ireland articles. For example even though the Talk:Billy Hutchinson says he's a "WikiProject Unionism article" he is in fact a "WikiProject Unionism in Ireland article". Maybe this is just a weird server cache thing. Any ideas? --sony-youthpléigh 23:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Your tasks page, Wikipedia:WikiProject Unionism/Tasks, is transcluded into your WikiProject banner, . There is nothing wrong with that, except that your tasks page includes section headers (which hides the TOC on any talk page the banner is on inside the banner) and __NOTOC__ (which also hides the TOC on any page the banner is on). If someone adds __TOC__ to a talk page to avoid the hidden TOC issue, the TOC has entries for all of your task headers which seemingly do nothing when clicked.
The best fix is to stop using headers (either == or  style) on your tasks page. Alternatively, you could <noinclude> all the headers, but that is probably more trouble than it's worth. This is currently being discussed on the Village Pump, BTW. Anomie⚔ 21:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*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. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
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 for the holiday season, 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!

I've started a new Ireland related project which I hope will bridge a gap I feel exists between the two Wiki community's  with an interest in Ireland related matters.

message: Hi!  I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate.  This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group.

message: Hi i was wondering whether militant unionism, i.e. loyalism and the such, falls under the scope of this WikiProject? Or should it be on a WikiProject of its own? Wondering as nationalism and republicanism are grouped together under WikiProject Irish Prepublic. Despite their methods their ultimate aim is the same as that of moderate and liberal unionists - maintaining the Union. Northern Star (talk) 20:27, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Although it hasn't been a focus of the project, many articles relating to loyalism are tagged as within its scope - I think it's pretty uncontroversial.  Note that there are some articles on loyalism and loyalists which relate to Ulster nationalism rather than unionism, and they don't form part of the project. Warofdreams talk 15:41, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't worry i'm only including articles were it is clear that it is to do with unionism and not Ulster nationalism. Though the UDA fall onto both categories as many members believe in both paths so i tagged the UDA article as belonging to the Unionism category on that basis.

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) 22:48, 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.

thread_title:  Unionism in Ireland article 

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
