As advised, I am appealing for help with regard to a contribution I am preparing for the Cold War topic. I've tried to navigate through the bewildering nuances of WikiProjects, but it is frankly quite consuming, despite its functionality.

The article I am preparing is intended as an add-on to the Legacies section under Cold War. I am well along in supplying six subsections: Cold War Radiation Legacies, Cold War Nuclear Legacies, Cold War Military Legacies, Cold War Security Legacies, Cold War Institutional Legacies, and Cold War Economic Legacies. These are derived primarily from one of three book volumes I published in 2009 related to the Cold War legacy.

I have been inserting and editing the material on my User page, and will be ready soon to upload both text and some images. The initial help I need is in linking my contribution to the Legacies section of the Cold War topic. waterfox1 17:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

OK, I can move the article into the mainspace whenever it is ready. A link in the main article is not a problem either. I would suggest you first go to the talk page of the article in question and post there what your intentions are. That will avoid problems. Reach me at my talk page if you need help, advice or direction. JodyB _talk 23:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the feedback. I will try to post a note at the appropriate talk page, and keep in mind your offer for future help. waterfox1 18:16, 25 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Waterfox1 (talk • contribs)

{{Help Me}} Having completed text to be added to the Legacy subsection of Cold War, I am requesting step-by-step assistance or fulfillment in carrying through that transition. I have no experience in exporting an article and importing it into an existing page, and I don't want to take the risk of creating problems with the main article. The Cold War Legacies article is currently in my sandbox User:Waterfox1 and is ready to be imported into the main article, at which time it can undergo peer review and editing. In the meantime, I will be working on importing some images, subject to their validation. waterfox1 19:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I will deal with this help request on the users own talk page; moving over there.  Chzz  ►  19:24, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Harry S. Truman featured article review

I have nominated Harry S. Truman for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Geschichte (talk) 17:53, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Cold War articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Cold War articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
