Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Former countries/Holy Roman Empire task force

Holy Roman Empire 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 Holy Roman Empire 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 Sunday, November 14th.

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 November, 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!

If you have already provided feedback, we deeply appreciate it. For the Wikipedia 1.0 editorial team, SelectionBot 16:33, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Interest in making a HRE portal

Is there anyone here that would be interested in making a portal for the HRE? I do realize the confusion of the HRE as a whole, and a lack of people who could be included in this portal, but can't because of Location's concern. I've been trying to find reliable sources online, but they're in short supply without money. I will attempt to go to the library whenever I get the chance to help expand, but I'm considered a novice compared to others due to my recent surge of edits, and length of time being an editing Wikipedian. Perhaps there needs to be more improvements done before this should be considered. Let me know, please! LeftAire (talk) 01:13, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Holy Roman Empire Article Scope

When composing the Recognized Content and Articles in Need of Improvement sections on the project page, I encountered many articles not strictly about former countries of the Holy Roman Empire. Does the scope of this task force go beyond what the WikiProject Former countries covers, including all biographic pages of figures significant to the HRE? Or should the WPFC banner be removed from all pages that are not about or contain a section about a former country? If so, I will gladly remove them to refine this task force's to-do list.

No, we should add significant people, too. I don't know why Maria Theresa (among others) were removed from the scope of the HRE task force. Cities, People, and Events, and Places should be listed on the scope of the HRE task force. I think there was nothing wrong with the scope of articles before the removal of the GA and B class articles (except maybe the Pomeranian). Do you know who removed those articles? LeftAire (talk) 21:26, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I didn't receive a reply, so I decided to restrict to the scope that was stated at the top of the project page. Sorry about that; I'll undo those edits right away. But, as we are a part of the WikiProject Former countries, I think that we should only be focusing on former countries. Please let me know your arguments against this.--Xuxalliope (talk) 00:11, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I've changed my mind, LeftAire; I don't oppose keeping significant people anymore. As for the Pomeranian, I'm definitely removing that, as it is not relevant to the WikiProject. Anyway, speaking of the scope, there seems to be a lot of other articles that involve wars. I suggest we draft standardized rules for determining which people, wars and former countries are authorized to be a part of the task force.--Xuxalliope (talk) 03:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

LeftAire, Do you realized how EVERY "Cities, People, and Events, and Places" in the past had been tied with a specifically former country? Some of them with two, three or four? I ask my self what's the point in putting half of the wikipedia under this project.-Ilhador- (talk) 03:35, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Counties Requested

A request for a list of the Counts of Swabia and Franconia is on the requested section. Is there any indications that Swabia or Franconia were held as a county? LTC (Ret.) David J. Cormier (talk) 16:04, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Holy Roman Empire portal

Hi team, I have just created a portal for the Holy Roman Empire based on the one at German Wikipedia. It still needs some tweaking but its a start. Feel free to enhance and improve it and add links from this project page. Gruß! --Bermicourt (talk) 19:23, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
