Issue 1 (2/10/2007)

For issue 1, I'm willing to cut stories just to get this out the door by Sat. evening. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 07:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We might be done. What do you think? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 01:59, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 02:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well if we can get INNA article, it can be included, if not, we'll just cut it. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 06:00, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AFD's

Important topic. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wrote the first sentence. If you want to help, please go ahead. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:15, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The 5400 number I have been referring to is the number of articles in the assessment program. Obviously, however, there are many more articles not in the program. However, that is the most accurate number we have at this time. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:17, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Project of the month

Should we go alphabetical (with IH and USH at top)? --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We can take two approaches to this section. We can either feature projects to drum up support and membership for that project, or feature them to "reward" them for a healthy output. In the second case, the featured project would be one that has been productive for some time, with the provision that a project cannot be re-featured for a year (26 issues). Either way, I don't think alphabetical is the way to go. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 21:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Member of the month

Alphabetical or nomination? (latter might be better because of inactive members) And for the moment, anyone on the participants list cannot be nom'ed. --Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:22, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely on a nomination basis. Going alphabetical would (1) mean it would be four years before every participant would be featured and (2) would feature editors that, in some cases, have left Wikipedia or road-related editing long ago. The first issue should probably go without a featured editor, and should only provide a link for nominations. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 21:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. And what you said about inactive editors is true; SPUI is long gone! V60 ^{VTalk · VDemolitions · VRoads} 23:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INNA?

--Rschen7754 (talk - contribs) 04:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Will write up the standards page tonight and we should put a blurb into the newsletter on it (if nothing else than to shed light on its existence). --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 21:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
