message: Per this discussion at Wikiproject Motorsport I recently created the page List of motorsport terminology. Designed primarily to combat jargon, feel free to drop by and add common motorsport terms (this is going to be a big list). Apterygial 05:03, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

message: As you may know, we currently have 400 good article nominations, with a large number of them being in the sports and recreation section. As such, the waiting time for this is especially long, much longer than it should be. As a result of this, I am asking each sports-related WikiProject to review two or three of these nominations. If this is abided by, then the backlog should be cleared quite quickly. Some projects nominate a lot but don't review, or vice-versa, and following this should help to provide a balance and make the waiting time much smaller so that our articles can actually get reviewed!

message: Is this series completely dead?  The website's down and I can't find any evidence that the scheduled events are going ahead.  I can find some refs indicating financial problems at the end of the last season, but plans to go ahead.  Any one have a ref for a final death? EeepEeep (talk) 21:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Series Dead? 

message: There is discussion ongoing at Wikipedia_talk:BIO#RFC:_WP:Athlete_Professional_Clause_Needs_Improvement debating possible changes to the WP:ATHLETE notability guideline.  As a result, some have suggested using WP:NSPORT as an eventual replacement for WP:ATHLETE.  Editing has begun at WP:NSPORT, please participate to help refine the notability guideline for the sports covered by this wikiproject. —Joshua Scott (LiberalFascist) 03:35, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

message: As far as I know A1GP is dead. Given that, whats the future of this project? Is it still active. With no new races, or drivers, or tracks, whats the status at this point. Is it safe to mark this project inactive or nominate it for closure? --Sabre ball t  c  14:49, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There's two issues. Firstly, unlike WP:IROC which had reached a point where it was basically "done", I don't feel everything that could be done to cover A1GP's existence has been done (not every race article has been fleshed out, there's still a lot of prose that could be written on articles that are just stats, not every article for a driver who participated in A1GP describes their involvement, etc.), so there is work left to be done that WP:A1GP could help facilitate. However, due to the status of the series, nobody seems interested in doing this additional work, rendering the WikiProject largely meaningless. -Drdisque (talk) 15:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: That was my thought exactly. I'm sure a lot of the A1GP articles could still use a lot of work, but without an active series I'm not sure enough people care enough to maintain the A1GP project. Do you object to perhaps marking the project semi-active? Test the waters; see how many (if any) complain. --Sabre ball t  c  19:09, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

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)
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.
