thread_title: Royalty

message: With the caveat that this is not in any way trying to compete with WP:MILHIST's excellent WP, of which I'm a member, but rather so that we have a central spot here to liaison with them on military people bios... Since WPBIO overlaps with so many other WProjects am thinking it would be beneficial to have a liaison member from each so we can work more closely and share resources and effort.

thread_title: Military people task force

message: I've invited the active projects to come here and vote, plus a new one that just got posted (British Royalty) which has already answered back that they want to remain separate but would be happy to be a child project. I've also posted a general invitation on the Misc section of the Village Pump and on the talk page for Biographies of living persons policy. Help us beat the bushes! plange 16:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Invitations sent 

message: The bot just updated and I wanted to give everyone a pat on the back! I don't know if you noticed the number of articles that had our banner on the talk page was somewhere around 100-200 Friday night and now we're almost to 900!! I think last night we were around 500! Good job everyone! plange 04:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if mindlessly (by bot) adding a template to article talk pages is really anything to be back-patting about.  When human attention is brought to the articles and they are improved, then excitement might be warranted. -Acjelen 00:48, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahem, those figures (and the excitement it generated) were before we used the bot. plange 01:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
