Wikipedia talk:Texan Collaboration of the Year

message: Just a thought I had, after looking at it. Shem (talk) 22:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maybe we should actually overhaul the main [[Texas]] article, first? 

message: I don't know about the rest, but what stuck with me from my Texas history in 7th grade came from a little cartoon book Texas History Movies put out by an oil company. We all seem to have gotten, for free, personal copies of what would be called anime today. My brother-in-law was so struck by the crudity of the text he asked for it, which I gladly gave.
So my question is "What company sponsored Texas History Movies?" It had a red and blue cover, with little cartoons inside to teach us. 
Never mind. It's Mobil Oil. Texas History Movies  
Maybe it would be a fun article?  Ancheta Wis 22:53, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Of our current candidates, two are tied.  How about we have folks vote on which one they'd prefer to tackle next?  Anybody feel free to start it off.  I've placed a voting section on the main page. · Katefan0(scribble) 21:15, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Since I'm not sure anymore how many of our old contributors are still active at the moment, let's have voting open through Sunday, and at that point we'll close it out and start workin'. Anybody object? · Katefan0(scribble)/my ridiculous poll 17:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

message: What does everyone think of a future collaboration on University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and Texas Tech University?  All three are fair to good articles that could use a great polish to push them to FA status.  When we are feeling more ambitious, maybe we can try them? -Scm83x 23:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: My inclination is to say sure, although sometimes folks get territorial about their schools.  I think if we decide to go this route, we should work on the articles with caution, probably even announce what we're about on the talk page beforehand, lest we appear as carpetbaggers =) · Katefan0(scribble)/my ridiculous poll 17:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Definitely.  I know that people are touchy about their alma mater's page, generally.  But if we make a comment on the talk page informing users that we intend to collaborate on the page, I think that we could actually gain a lot more people in the Texan Collaboration cause.  Realistically, I think it will be the best way to add people to this group because of how many people no doubt have their alma mater on their watchlist. -Scm83x 17:41, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Texan Collaboration of the Month editors,
We have made some good progress with Texas over the past month.  However, I am not sure if we have improved the article enough yet to contemplate nominating it for FA (or at least GA).  I propose that we spend one more month on it before choosing a new topic.
I further propose that we archive the existing list of future candidate articles.  Some of the nominations are quite old.  I think we should take fresh suggestions during August for a new article to collaborate on in September.
I look forward to your thoughts. Johntex\talk 00:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Was there any discussion about nominating the article Texas for FA status?  It would have been better to run it through peer-review or something similar before nominating.  Can it be withdrawn before more time has passed? -Acjelen 20:45, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Texas has been the collaboration for 2 months, and this page was just listed as inactive...So, I'm going to go ahead and change it to Strand National Historic Landmark District, which has the most aproval votes.  Joe  I 19:45, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
