message: Many pages already carry promotional tone intended to give favorable light. I thought it maybe more encyclopedic to just cluster individuals together into one page under their moniker, such as for MOOK. I welcome input. Graywalls (talk) 04:30, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

message: An essay was added by an IP in September 2011, on the main project page. There's no explanation been made and it's not well formatted. I can't see any evidence of a book or publication called "Graffit: the Art of Vandalism", while the cited "A Full History of Graffiti; 1965-2002" seems to be a college student essay.
Therefore I've removed the essay from the project page. It doesn't look authoritative. Sionk (talk) 19:38, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I am surprised the has not been any contributions to this page in two years. I am slowly feeling my way around getting involved in wikipedia. Let me know if and how I can help. Is it possible to have somekind of gallery of notable/suitable graffiti art on wikipedia? respect. : ...Zoebuggie☺whispers 20:32, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure what you mean about the gallery. But there's a difficulty with photos of graffiti art on Wikipedia - in many countries the copyright of 2D works in the public realm remains with the creator. There are some extremists on Wikipedia who see any photo containing graffiti as a copyright violation! All that being said, most articles about well-known graffiti artists (and Graffiti) are already reasonably well-illustrated. Sionk (talk) 02:42, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

text: Was there any coverage in Brizzle or elsewhere about See No Evil (2012)? You could always update that article. Sionk (talk) 02:45, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: By "Gallery" I was thinking of pages by artists or location with multiple images, however I did not realise that even illegal graffiti might be copyrighted, thanks for the heads up :) I did see some coverage regards See No Evil (2012) and will happily look into it...Zoebuggie☺whispers 04:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Essay on the Project main page 

message: The article A.C.A.B. was woefully undersourced and appeared to be "things people believe based on word of mouth" vice properly-sourced WP:V material. I've managed to cite a lot of material and remove uncited, and added WikiProjects to the page. The image for the article is not a very good example though, so if someone has a better image that'd be great. MatthewVanitas (talk) 03:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow graffiti heads :) I'm new to Wikipedia so rather than me running around on every page & getting loose on the edit button I'm putting my efforts to learn more on only 2 pages. 1 page I created called Graffiti Kings & the 2nd page that relates to Graffiti Kings of artist Darren Cullen. My edits keep getting taken down & I'm told its because my writing sounds to promotional or spammy? Is there anyone on here that would kindly help me add good content to these pages. Thanks in advance Sarah1971 12:40, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Darren Cullen aka SER & Graffiti Kings help. 

message: The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template .
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass.  Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
=== Background ===
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace.  On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you.     — The Transhumanist    07:40, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
