We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page.

message: Alright, excuse my "noob-ness," but seeing as how Ohio is my first WikiProject, just a quick clarification... when an article is "De-Redlink'ed," (In this case, reffering to List of mayors of Cleveland, Ohio), that simply means removing the items from the list that link to pages that don't exist? In this case, again, that would mean keep the list in-tact, however, items on the list that link to pages that don't exist should simply just be the name of the person in text? I'm almost 100% positive, and I know everything can be reverted, but i'd rather get it right the first time. =)  RiSK 00:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Nominate articles for [[Portal:United States]]

message: Hello, everybody.  I am the bozo who just recently created the new subcategories in the "People from Ohio" category.  I thought that some of you might want to know why they were created, and why they often have so few pages in them.  
The majority of the states have "People from [state]" categories which have at least 200 entries, sometimes over 1,000.  This is clearly an unworkably large number for anyone wishing to use the category for research purposes.  In 8th grade in Rapid City, South Dakota, the social studies class asked us to write, over the course of the year, reports on two or three people who were or had been residents of the city.  Because of that, I have reason to believe that they could be used and probably are used for research purposes.  To make such research easier, I looked at the list of metropolitan statistical areas and basically entered in one new category for each metropolitan statistical area.  
I know that many of these categories might well be, in the eyes of you who know more about the cities in question much better than I do, misnamed or otherwise faulty.  I apologize for any mistakes I may have made along those lines, and I would welcome any corrections, including deletion, that any of the rest of you might choose to make.  With that in mind, I have also generally populated the categories with only one or two names, to ease in the process of deletion or renaming.
I thought you all should know why these categories were created, and felt some degree of responsibility for letting your know.  I wish you all the greatest good fortune in making the coverage of your state in Wikipedia of the greatest scope and quality possible, and I hope that I haven't annoyed too many of you by my recent actions.

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.   B2T2 19:14, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Eric Clapton did live in Hilliard for a while, he had a girlfriend from there and his baby was born there. Maybe you could do a bit more research on people somewhere other than in Wikipedia before assuming that someone has added them to article for the sake of "prestige." I don't get why you assume that people have bad motives behind their editing. At the same time, facts should be documented, so instead of assuming bad motives, why not point out that these facts need references. Personally, I know a lot of interesting facts about things that have happened in towns where I have lived that I can't reference (or don't feel like taking the time to find references), so I don't add them to articles. It's supposed to be a encyclopedia, not a collection of hearsay, even if the hearsay is true. The references are what proves it is true. There is nothing wrong with questioning facts that are surprising (in fact, I think that makes you wise), and a reference would provide that the fact is correct.

thread_title: "Notable Residents" spamming on city articles

message: I have proposed merging a number of library articles into their respective localities or counties.  These are libraries that are either slightly larger or contain small amounts of information beyond the basic stub, but I think that all of them could be merged in without adding more than a couple of lines to their respective articles. I think redirects should be left in place, as with the articles deleted in the Adams County Public Library AFD.  If people feel like improving the articles to show more notability, or object to the merges, please do so. 
I think if these articles are merged, the remaining library articles in "Category:Libraries of Ohio" will all be either very large systems, or articles where some attempt has been made to write an interesting article and/or show notability. --Brianyoumans 01:53, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored.

My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007.

message: Over the past week, I've added navigational templates to articles on about fifteen counties in northwest Ohio, beginning with my native Logan.  I've received a couple of messages from Ruhrfisch that I found helpful, and (on his advice) I thought I'd ask all of you your opinions.  All of county templates can be viewed at w:Category:Ohio navigational boxes, plus the Wood County one that I didn't design.  Two questions:
#What should be the image in the top left of the template?  Since my design is literally a stripped-down version of the  template, I just left the Ohio state flag image in there.  However, a few other such templates had already been made on several different designs:  has a map,  has the county seal,  has a state map with the county highlighted, and  has absolutely no image at all.  What do all of you think is the best idea?  I added a request for a Logan County flag here, based on this page, but it's not been fulfilled yet.  Ruhrfisch tells me that there might be copyright problems with so doing, an idea I would never have imagined (after all, we have city flags for Toledo and Columbus), but I definitely don't want to cause problems.
#Should cities and villages be on separate lines in all boxes, regardless of how many of each there are?  I placed all on the same lines, largely because most of the counties that I've done have few cities; however, I'm open to the possibility that this could be a symptom of my having grown up in an area with few cities :-)  Should it be done like  for all counties, or should there be an option for small counties to have one like ?
