copied from jameson's talk page recent email conversation with user dank dank wrote jameson why not keep the few hundred articles you've tagged for your wikiproject and let me work on the few articles i care about without having to explain to people why the article does or doesn't belong to wikiproject robotics and is or isn't low priority it just muddies the water and you've got your hands more than full already with the stuff you've tagged if you'd rather we talk about this on talk pages instead of email i'm fine with that i thought you might prefer email before you tagged the lawnmowers and vacuums i wasn't thinking a separate project would be necessary but i can go that way if i need to dan dan yes i'd prefer to continue this conversation on wiki talk pages i didn't know you had personal interests in those articles i didn't know there were boundaries of what i can work with the project banner is not supposed to mark territory it only means those who belong in the project should focus on this article there's nothing wrong with tagging existing articles that fit current project scope i really hope we're not getting territorial a copy of this conversation i'll leave your email addy out of it don't worry is now on my talk page please continue the discussion there j copied to talk page ''talk contribs'' i have edited robot agv and some of the articles about vacuums and lawnmowers not much more than that related to robotics you've tagged several hundred articles as belonging to your wikiproject without editing any of them at least not the ones i'm watching which is most of them i'm not criticizing you i think it's possible that tagging a bunch of articles could be helpful it might get more people to sign up for wikiproject robotics and share experiences first and then edit on the other hand it might mean that people who would otherwise edit won't edit out of a sense that the article belongs to some other group or they might misunderstand the low priority i haven't been around long enough to know what works and what doesn't i guess we'll see i will look around for some other kind of tag to stick on the articles i'm interested in and if someone tells me that the two tags are confusing i'll pass the information on dan
