I need your advice on a particular garden that needs tending...
Hi,
I need help from an experienced Wikipedian, and I was glad to see your name over at WP:ADOPT.
I need your advice concerning WP:WPOOK, which I've been coordinating. The set of pages the project concerns is listed at Portal:Contents/Outline of knowledge and Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Outline of knowledge#Projected outline, and has grown to about 500 articles in the encyclopedia.
The goals of the WikiProject are:
- Increase awareness of readers of the existence of the outlines on Misplaced Pages
- Complete the existing outlines
- Create an outline for every subject that is exensive enough to benefit from having an outline (core subjects and major or extensive fields). There are thousands of these.
- Recruit as many editors to work on these as possible (we need thousands of editors working on these)
- Surpass portals in number by the end of the summer, and leave them in the dust by the end of the year
- Get the major outline subject areas displayed on the Main Page (in place of or in addition to the portal links at the top of the page)
- Increase the OOK to higher quality than Britannica's Outline of Knowledge (published in its Propaedia volume).
I was hoping you could comment on how to achieve the goals above.
Also I'm interested in every possible way of reaching readers and editors of Misplaced Pages. How can I get the most eyes and typing fingers on Misplaced Pages's outlines? Contacting editors directly without a reason relevant to them is spam, which I'd like to avoid. There are 75,000 regular editors on Misplaced Pages, and I want to contact all of them. So how do I do it? Directly or indirectly, I don't care which, piecemeal or all-at-once, all methods are fine with me. But I've got to find ways. I need your help.
I would also like to know how to find or attract editors to create new outlines. And I need advice on finding editors to help write the new outline article mentioned above (it needs to be fleshed out, completely referenced, and brought to featured article status).
Can you recommend anyone in particular who might be interested in sinking their teeth into a project like this? Or ways to reach groups of editors? Or ways to reach all editors? I welcome any and all advice you might have.
I look forward to your reply on my talk page.

Thank you for the excellent ideas
A couple guys on our team participate in Wikicup, so I've asked them how we should go about implementing your suggestion.
And Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Military history/Awards is an awesome awards page, and provides a great model for showcasing winners.
Thank you.
If you come up with any more ideas, please fire away. Any time.

FYI
I have no idea what/why you guys are going on about, and don't have time to investigate, but I dropped a note here to draw eyes. Please put down the tools for now, and discuss it there. rootology/equality 12:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Stop...!
Please, go here, don't use tools on those pages again. rootology/equality 13:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
