Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Reenactment

I've created this project as I felt the amount of articles on reenactment was a bit lacking and the articles unproportionally americanocentric. Right now I seem to be the only person interested in writing about reenactment, but since we already have articles on experimental archaeology and similar obscurities, maybe there is some hope. Maybe this should be extended to include LARP as sometimes the borders are nearly non-existant (a typical criticism regarding SCA member groups). I fear that might corrupt the focus a bit, tho, so I left that uncovered for now (Dungeons and Dragons isn't exactly on-topic when it comes to historical reenactment).

I hope nobody smites me for creating and listing a stub template before reading the rules for categorized stubs, but I didn't want to go on a spree and create stubs for all the topics that are currently missing (besides, any list I could come up with is all but exhaustive, my knowledge is pretty much limited to English and German medieval reenactment). --Ashmodai 13:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nevermind the stub template, that seems to have been dealt with. Oopsie. --Ashmodai 06:15, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Good idea all. I see this hasnt been updated in over a year, I will try and kickstart it with a few article cleanups :P user:Pzg Ratzinger

Civil war

Just a quick note while I remember: we've got an awful lot of articles referring to the 'Civil War'. Most of them I can figure out whether they refer to the English Civil War, the American Civil War, or something else from List of civil wars, but it might be worth remembering to specify when we create new articles.

Indeed. So far I've mostly been referring to the American Civil War, because that's what most articles about reenactment seem to focus on. English Civil War, World War 2 and Napoleonic reenactment are mostly uncovered so far. -- Ashmodai 10:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

• User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
• User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
• User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
• User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
• User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
• User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
• User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
• User:Badbilltucker/Science 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 to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. 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.
