icasualties hacked?

I visit icasualties.org frequently to gain information about the ongoing violence in Iraq. The website is also useful in that it posts articles from all over the world covering the war. I've notice the past couple of months that the website is down a lot. I know it was hacked once and they had to rebuild it. I wonder who would be giving this site so much trouble, and why? Any suggestions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.120.48.34 (talk) 19:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Websites on companies

I suggest that websites on companies with articles on the company itself should not have individual articles unless there is something about the website that makes it about something more than the company, or promotion of the company. Even if the website has games or goodies, and is heavily visited, it's still really just a function of the company's marketing, and that can be included in the company's article.

QDB - Straw Poll

There is a straw poll on Talk:QDB#Poll on whether QDB should redirect to Bash.org (a popular IRC quote database) or to a disambiguation page including a similar project QDB.us. Your feedback would be appreciated.--Konstable 03:25, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

VampireFreaks.com

Please review and edit this article as appropriate. It was peripherally involved in the Dawson College shooting in that the gunman was a member. --Neurophyre^(talk) 15:35, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia: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 00:07, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 17:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

A request for an update of {{User skype}}

Hey guys (sorry if I'm intruding). I was wondering if anyone here had available server space to write up something like this page, but with the skype: URI, instead of the old callto: URI. Thanks! Blast 05.04.07 0552 (UTC)

Which WikiProject template would be appropriate for domain (TLD) articles?

Would it fit better under this WikiProject (after all, top level domains are part of the wonderful world of web sites) or, since it's about something broader than the sites, would it go under WikiProject Computing (which is far broader than something this Internet-specific)? I think the top-level domain articles (e.g., .co or .org) need to be taken under the wing of a WikiProject, but I don't want to dilute the mission of this one, nor get them ignored under a far larger one. Please advise. Lawikitejana 05:50, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion sorting

Is this WikiProject currently utilizing the Deletion Sorting page Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Websites? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 04:37, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Assessment

Shouldn't the project banner have assessment enabled? I can take a crack at it if nobody feels technically up to it. Richard001 (talk) 02:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

If the project is going to wake up, then yes, that would be a good start. Are you going to try to revive this project? If so, please consider weighing in on the current MFD for the Blogging Project, which has been suggested to be absorbed into this group, or to have this project and that one absorbed into Computing as a task force. Collectonian (talk) 05:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, no, this isn't my area really (I just use the banner sometimes, and it's annoying I can't do assessments). A pity it is inactive - you'd think there would be enough interested people out there to make an active project. Richard001 (talk) 21:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

New task force per MfD decision

Per Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Early_Web_History, I have moved Wikipedia:WikiProject Early Web History to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Websites/Early_web_history_task_force, together with all it's subpages (or they should all be there soon anyway. Thanks.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 22:20, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The MfD did realize this project is inactive...right? :P Maybe this will spur some life in though Collectonian (talk) 22:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for help: Whedonesque.com

I could use more sets of eyes on whedonesque.com. I would like to get it to GA status despite the anti-blog perspective some editors seem to have. Can anyone else lend a hand? Jclemens (talk) 04:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Revival

Is there any interest in reviving this project at all? I think it could be very useful, as some guiding hands in the writing and formatting of website articles is very much needed. Right now, there isn't much consistency amongst them, resulting in them being all over the place. Collectonian (talk) 15:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Important Proposal

Currently this project altough very important , is INACTIVE. I propose to make this project more active by making this as a task force of WP:COMPUTING. The pages will remain the same...It will use the common {{WikiProject Computing}} banner for the pages that falls in the scope of this project. The banner will be enabled with this project parameters with also WP 1.0 assessment parameters. Hence the project will get seperate stats for this project / workgroup - both quality scale and importance. Thoughts ??-- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 05:16, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree. It was something I think I suggested at Computing awhile back, but never got any answer on. -- [[::User:Collectonian|Collectonian]] ([[::User talk:Collectonian|talk]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Collectonian|contribs]]) 06:30, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Anything that will let me make assessments sounds good. Richard001 (talk) 09:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually that has already been taken care of, but whatever, it sounds like a good idea given the inactivity. Richard001 (talk) 09:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I had left a personal note on the talk pages of the members...Let me hope to hear from them too -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 09:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure whether it will really help making it more active or not, but it seems in line with collapsing smaller Wikiprojects into task forces under umbrella Wikiprojects. I don't see any reason why this shouldn't happen. Jclemens (talk) 16:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

It has been fairly agreed upon here that this project(WP Websites) will become a taskforce of WP:COMPUTING , and we create WP 1.0 assessment categories for the workgroup, tagg the relavent articles with {{WikiProject Computing}} with the workgroup parameters . I am taking this consensus to WP:COMPUTING for further discussion and approval -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 05:15, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Support for WikiProject Websites added on {{WikiProject Computing}} as

A discussion

An important discussion on " Should WikiProjects get prior approval of other WikiProjects (Descendant or Related or any ) to tag articles that overlaps their scope ? " is open here . We welcome you to participate and give your valuable opinions. -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - , member of WikiProject Council. 15:01, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Boolean operators

I'm good at starting articles, but not at expanding and creating them very professional. I'd like help on this particular topic. I didn't know where else to go. I figured it would receive faster attention posting it in the discussion of a project page than sitting there. Colonel Marksman (talk) 07:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
