Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Reenactment
Proposed WikiProject importance parameters
- Top: Articles fundamental to an understanding of reenacting, such as Historical reenactment, or explaining basic concepts common to multiple reenactment periods, such as Farb (reenactment), and Authenticity (reenactment).
- High: Commonly reenacted periods such as Medieval reenactment and American Civil War reenactment. Largest or most significant reenactments, particularly when dealt with in a general sense (consider Battle of Hastings reenactment as opposed to Hastings 2006).
- Mid: Less commonly reenacted periods, such as Korean War reenactment. Largest umbrella reenactment groups. Large reenactments, particularly when referring to an individual event (consider Hastings 2000 or Hastings 2006, as opposed to Battle of Hastings reenactment). Mid-sized reenactments referred to in a general sense.
- Low: Smaller umbrella reenactment groups. Individual reenactment groups (2nd South Carolina String Band). Smaller events referred to in a general sense (Dixie Days).
That's my proposal...thoughts? Cmadler (talk) 16:28, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
- 4 months, no comments. I'm moving this to Wikipedia:WikiProject Reenactment/Assessment and implementing it. Cmadler (talk) 14:39, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
QUESTION: As we classify reenactment events based on size, to what degree should that be audience size versus number of participants (consider Slag om Grolle with perhaps 350 participants but 30,000 in audience)? Should size be absolute among all reenactments (in which case the very largest is probably Gettysburg 135 (1998) estimated at 15,000 to 20,000 reenactors) or should should size be considered differently for different periods (in which case Hastings 2000, with about 1500 participants, might be considered a "large" reenactments even though a similarly sized American Civil War reenactment might only be considered "mid-size")?

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:24, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- I will volunteer to represent WikiProject Reenactment in this working group, unless someone else wants to, in which case you are more than welcome to it! cmadler (talk) 13:33, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
images for wikipedia
Can you make photos of yourself and your equipment, so we can illustrate articles like Late Roman army that's partly illustrated in cooperation with fectio.org. You can insert your images into appropriate articles or make a short post in MILHIST Logistics/Graphics. Thanks a lot. Greetings Wandalstouring (talk) 14:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Are there enough articles on this subject to justify an Outline of reenactment?
By the way, here's a relevant discussion about subject development you might find interesting.
Now back to the question...

- I must confess, I don't really understand the purpose(s) of outlines as described. It seems to me that an "Outline of X" would cover the same material that should be covered in any complete "X" article. cmadler (talk) 16:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
WP 1.0 bot announcement
This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:50, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Reenactment articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Reenactment articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
