==I have a vision== |
|

I wanted to show you something, as long ago, we talked about FF wikiproject being all GA...well I came up with an all-featured topic project :) http://en.wikipedia.org/User:Judgesurreal777/Topic_Building#Final_Fantasy_topics It's built on three ideas; |
|
|
*Cutting a few articles from our jurisdiction that aren't intimately Final Fantasy related |
|
|
*Merging a bunch of articles that have no notability |
|
|
*Creating a subproject at wikiproject video games to deal with the people who create video games, as they get no love from most video game wikiprojects |
|
|
*Build up the remaining articles to GA status, and have everyone look at us in awe. Thoughts? My biggest issue will be to sell it to the others who remain at the project. ] (]) 14:54, 16 April 2008 (UTC) |

==User Ageslimit needs to be banned (again)== |
|
|
Hey. It seems that in the May of last year, you blocked this guy Ageslimit for a well-rounded dose of vandalism. Well he's back now, and spent Apr 19th spamming a good deal. And what's worse is that he's been using the edit comment box for advertising, which I don't think can be changed by normal users. Pls ban this guy, he sickens me and more than certainly deserves it. |

Hello Deckiller. I've tracked you down because I need help.

<Idle chatter>. I accidentally found ] and was very happy to see ] and ] on the drummers list. I'd also agree with ] as a bassist, but ] is not a standout as are his bandmates... I'd argue with your over-rated bands, adding ] (who held the record for decades) but the #1 all-time most over-rated, (recently surpassing Journey) would be ]. I'd remove Led Zeppelin, since of course they are easily the best band ever. :-) As for under-rated bands, you forgot ]. The ] are not under-rated; they were extremely big in their day and, I suspect, still garner respect... Friends of mine have mentioned ] in this context, but I have never heard their stuff.</Idle chatter> ] (]) 04:33, 26 May 2008 (UTC) |

==Reporting for duty== |

I am cautiously optimistic; the notability debate seems to have isolated those who want to include things that do not have at least moderate amounts of real world information, I see movements within several wikiprojects, from the video game one to the 24 project to trim back plot summary articles and add real world information. And though their continue to be areas that we haven't reached yet (Warhammer 40,000 as an example), and we obviously have an ever growing number of articles, the quality keeps getting better. And I agree with you that the Final Fantasy Wikiproject is a model for the successful implementation of a high bar for notability and an example of how amazing fictional coverage can be. Those are my current thoughts. ] (]) 17:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC) |
