Please don't create articles in bulk for MIT Media Lab groups. Wikipedia is not a Web guide. Unless you have something to say about these groups that sets them apart from everyone else working on, for instance, software agents, it's not very helpful to our readers to have these articles.

P.S. I found the conversation on Talk:MIT Media Lab and commented there. FreplySpang (talk) 21:36, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion on Talk:MIT Media Lab is not very conclusive. It would be appropriate to wait for a response from Ms. ArtGeek, who seens to have been involved in the Media Lab article. Anyway, my suggestion would be to condense the information into a descriptive section in the main Media Lab article. If relevant, you might describe some of the ongoing research in the general articles related to the particular areas, like Software agent and so forth. Also: it's very important to be aware of copyright issues. If any of your group descriptions are taken from non-free sources (like the group's own websites) without significant rewriting, Wikipedia cannot accept them. In short, I don't think it's useful to recreate a directory of MIT Media Lab working groups within Wikipedia. Thanks for your interest in contributing, but this might not be the best direction.

It's up to you, I just found "Today...them" to be the two awkward words on a quick read. TKE 07:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Japan taskforces[edit]

In order to encourage more participation, and to help people find a specific area in which they are more able to help out, we have organized taskforces at WikiProject Japan. Please visit the Participants page and update the list with the taskforces in which you wish to participate. Links to all the taskforces are found at the top of the list of participants.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you for helping out! ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 08:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 01:25, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
