Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:37, 26 October 2006

The image in the template

Not sure what "burn all gifs" means, but the image was improved over the orignal. The topography one you suggested, Dab, sits in a big blue square and isn't transparent. The present one looks well next to the Northern Ireland template. Evertype 16:41, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

http://burnallgifs.org/archives/ was a fad when it looked like Unisys was going to try to enforce their patent on the GIF algorithm. It led (partially) the greater inclusion of PNGs as an alternative, but the new thing is to convert non-photographic images to SVG where appropriate. I think I can do that pretty easily for this GIF, if the project would find a scalable version more useful... -- nae'blis 18:00, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

If you like. The NI one is an SVG I think. Evertype 18:06, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Try this one, if you like:

It's a little darker, but I pulled the green from the official Flag of Ireland color. -- nae'blis 03:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

NIce, but the one we have is the same colour as the N.I. one, and they often appear on the same page. -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Volunteers

I'd like to help. I'm still a wiki novice, but I'm a competent writer and copyeditor. Dppowell 18:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Welcome! Help however you'd like! -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Template

Should we more or les copy this? Template:WPNI Pauric 18:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Eeeek! No, heavens, no. See Talk:Ogham for more. -- Evertype·✆

Ah, gas. So... is Template:Irelandproj what Template:WPI should be? If so, why isn't it as such? If not... why isn't it as such? :P Pauric 18:42, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

I guess it could be WPI, but Irelandproj is easier to remember. Or? I don't mind, but I wouldn't be interested in doing the cleanup after such a change. -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Manual of style

Is it intended that the project's style manual will differ significantly from Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (Ireland-related articles)? Dppowell 22:21, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

How so? -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I thought that the creation of a style manual for this project was one of the goals; I saw that an Ireland related style manual already existed, and wondered whether we would adopt that, modify it or do something entirely separate. Dppowell 18:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Against a new manual of style; just integrate the one that exists. Djegan 20:54, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

ICOTW

A template on the ICOTW page says it's inactive and only kept for historical interest, yet it's front and center on the WikiProject Ireland page. Should we remove the inactive tag? Dppowell 16:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Is ICOTW active? Or is it superceded in some way by WikiProject Ireland? -- Evertype·✆ 14:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, that was more or less my question, since we've got the banner at the top of the project page. :) Dppowell 18:46, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Saint Patrick's Flag

I've added this to the Ireland project, as its sister article Flag of Scotland is listed in the Scotland project. A goal would be to get the articles of Saint Patrick's Flag and the Flag of Scotland to look somewhat similar in format. --Dulcimerist 02:12, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. We need to get an image for the Lighthouses, too, since the one we had is apparently deleted. -- Evertype·✆ 17:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

What lighthouses? I have done some work on Lighthouses in Ireland and some of the individual articles. ww2censor 05:59, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Mary I of England

Mary I of England is up for a featured article review. Detailed concerns may be found here. Please leave your comments and help us address and maintain this article's featured quality. Sandy (Talk) 02:05, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

History of Ireland

I'd like to nominate the goal of getting History of Ireland up to "good article" status as a prelude to a nomination for Featured Article. Dppowell 18:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 17:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm thinking of making a small box for Members's User Pages, along the lines of the
