Wikipedia talk:WikiProject/Old history

I've been thinking of videotaping the syllabus of Ballroom Dance steps I've learned so I can review steps I forget. But then I figured, why not put it online so the next guy doesn't have to do the same thing? Actually, Wikipedia got me started on the whole idea of putting them online - what better place for them? If I get motivated enough to do it, though, it might take some work on Larry/Jimbo's part to host them here and make them available through the wiki interface. Fantastic! By the way, Jason and Magnus are both working on uploading programs. I imagine they'll be ready pretty soon! --Larry

This page needs updating!

Two items here should either be removed or updated:

• Wikipedia NEWS takes users to Recent changes
• Year in Review takes users to 20th century. Er...the 20th century is not a year. Kingturtle 02:08, 25 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Reorganization

User:Eequor has turned this page into a redirect to Wikipedia:WikiProjects. He did not move any of the content, because he was under the impression that all of these projects were dead. I know that was wrong on at least one count (Translation into English), and I am about to place that on the Wikipedia:WikiProjects. I believe others of these are also "live", and I recommend that people involved in those move them as well. -- Jmabel 04:10, Aug 9, 2004 (UTC)

• Article of the week: A project to bring one yet-to-be-created article up to featured standard each week.

• Wikipedia:Companies, Corporations and Economic Information How many of us buy things? But the companies we buy from are not very well described in wikipedia. It would be good to have standards, methods, and templates.

• Translation into English Request translation of a foreign-language wikipedia article, or sign up to indicate that you are available as a translation resource.

• Typo: Pick a commonly mispelled word, and correct it throughout Wikipedia, then record your good deed here.

• WikiProject Writing Captions: Find or log an article that needs good captions, write the captions, and mark it off the list.

Unorganized projects

• Biographical Listing: An attempt to list, alphabetically, all biographical articles in Wikipedia. If you write an article about a person, please add that person's name to the appropriate section.

• Britannica Public Domain/Status: Project Gutenberg has the first volume of an old (1911) public domain encyclopedia online. Several Wikipedians are entering these articles into Wikipedia, but since they are so old, they'll need to be edited and updated. Click here for a status list of these articles, and please help update them. For more information, see Britannica Public Domain.

• Countries of the world: The CIA and US Department of State have compiled a lot of information on various countries (available here and here; when there is no explicit copyright notice on the page you're viewing at their site, this information is in the public domain and so can be used here freely. Unfortunately each agency has missed certain fledgeling or Extinct countries, empires, etc., for example East Timor and Zaire, respectively, and so there are still conspicuous gaps.

• Historical anniversaries: A listing of notable births, deaths and events for every date. When writing an article, please link your dates and add items to that day where appropriate.

• Year in Review: A listing of each year, decade and century with important events that occurred for each date. When writing your article, please link your years to that year where appropriate.
