message: Are there any last minute amendments that any of the editors that took part in last week's UKCOTW Geography of the United Kingdom would like to make before I nominate it for FAC?  Incidentally, it tripled in size during the week that it was UKCOTW... -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 22:03, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

replies: text:  I applaud your enthusiasm, but I really don't think it is good enough yet.  In particular, while geology is quite good (I cribbed it from the excellent Geology of the United Kingdom), there are lots of gaps in the rest of it. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:00, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

If everybody is voting on the first basis, we run the risk of a series of damp squibs, which Bill of Rights 1689 seems to have been. --Keith Edkins 17:17, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not clearly defined, but I always take it as being the latter.  The problm with the Bill of Rights article is that there are some unresolved issues on the talk page which have seriously slowed up any attempt to expand the article. -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 17:37, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: This weekend I'm going away to Weymouth (be still my beating sense of adventure) and won't be back on Sunday until quite late.  Caqn someone else sort out the UKCOTW selection for next week?  If not leave it and I'll do it on Monday. -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 17:46, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Religion in the United Kingdom and Monmouth Rebellion were tied at 18:00 on Sunday so we play 24 hours golden-goal extra time. It they are still tied, Religion in the United Kingdom gets the decision as the earlier nomination.--Keith Edkins 09:53, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh bum - was updating for Religion in the United Kingdom when Monmouth Rebellion got another vote.  Blast. -- ALoan (Talk) 11:45, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: At 18:00 yesterday evening Bedfordshire and National Health Service were tying in the vote for the next collaboration.  NHS now has more votes, however I'm going to be picky and insist on waiting until 18:00 today before selecting the next winner. -- Graham  ☺ | Talk 01:48, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Speaking of which, does anyone have an idea for a christmas related collaporation; I was thinking maybe Christmas Traditions in the UK (an expansion of a section in Christmas) - maybe Regional Christmas Traditions in the UK so that everyone can contribute. --NeilTarrant 18:27, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: What about the Queen's Speech.  The article I link to is fairly good about the general idea, but not that much about it in the UK in particular.   For example, we could mention Channel 4's alternative Christmas message, and there is probably quite a bit more that could be said.     Silverfish 19:26, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, the Queen's Speech is quite different!  But we don't have an article on the Queen's Christmas message. -- ALoan (Talk) 19:45, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: How could I check the size of an article? Thank you. — Instantnood 13:21, Feb 5 2005 (UTC)
:This page is one such site that can tell you.  Just submit your query and the size of the page should appear in the HTML row under "Object Size Totals".  Don't go by "Total size" under "Global Statistics" because this includes the CSS and Javascript from it being a wiki page, and the image of the globe thing in the top left hand corner. -- Francs2000 | Talk  13:34, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I'm not going to be here for the next two Sundays so if someone else wants to update the COTW (just edit  and archive the current COTW to /past collaborations), I'd be very grateful! Talrias | talk 23:15, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Away 

message: I most likely will not be able to update the COTWs for the forseeable future (just guessing but I think the same may be true for Talrias), hopefully someone else will be around to notice it and act though. -- Joolz 23:23, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I have kept the project up for a prolonged period partly because I have been so busy, but partly also because there has only been one edit since it became the UKCOTW.  Is anyone still interested in this project or has it died a natural death? -- Francs2000  18:37, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
