ef were the major content kill edits reversed see your talk comments on the page linked in this section header ok i was waiting to see if things had been fixed before tackling anything wikiproject community you are a brilliant individual if you don't join wikiproject community i will hunt you down and make your life a living hell oh crap did i type that i think i had a bit too much rum my apologies what i want to say is that i've had since i been at wikipedia this notion of a sense of community i thought a community writing about community would be a popular idea and catch on but if you look at the project page history and even the talk page you'll see that i'm the only one there look at wikiprojects like wikipedia wikiproject michigan it's like a beehive wikipedia wikiproject the beatles is probably the most innovative and productive organized group at wikipedia it's silly that the community builders task force is really just one guy i feel like deleting the whole thing sometimes user sj was interested and encouraging for a while when we first started it but he's doing wikimania and many other things anyway the community article is coming along very well now i've created a list of sources at the bottom of the list of community topics and i'm listing more as i find them the following is copied from cq's talk page ah rum here i thought wow somebody finally recognizes my unique brilliance oh well i don't think that two makes a community either but i've been meaning to sign up i've been involved with communities of various kinds for many years community is an ephemeral thing really it is the oxygen we breathe and most of us don't stop to think about it i guess that's why there isn't a stampede it is like the way that people avoid talking about process but let's see michigan community of place the beatles community of interest hummm something topical well there is interest in intentional communities of all kinds and of course ecovillages so maybe that is an angle to begin with anyway i'm in now you're talkin' sunray two heads are better than one i think once and the others see progress on community articles by quality they may rejoin the effort i'm heading over to virtual community to start shaking things up over there it's an attractive topic and the article is nearly as big a mess as community was hopefully i can recruit a few members from over there now that the tools are in place we can approach the list as a series based upon importance and public interest feel free to drop the wikiproject community tag on as many articles as you like do you know of a tool that tracks hit counts for wikipedia articles i suppose talk page activity is a pretty good indicator it would be nice to have a tool that can quantify that talk virtual community has a onlinesource tag on it so i think it's a good next focus i'm threatening to bump that article down to 'stub class' and stick a rewrite tag on it maybe that will furrow a few brows i'm also thinking of bumping community up to a class but i would like to find another article that can get quickly to b class take a look at vital articles any ideas p s i meant the brilliance comment the brilliance comment certainly got my attention seems to me that the next step is knowing what the individual's unique brilliance is hence you begin to get at motivation positive feedback would then reinforce that motivation i'm learning to watch not only what people contribute to but how they contibute sometime you might tell me what it was you saw that made you say that there should be lots of action on virtual community and related pages the trick will be distinguishing the serious contributers from the drive bys wikipedians are browsers and grazers they keep moving through those links watchlists grow and grow
