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) 03:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.
If you don't already have Cleanup listings, Cleanup listings is a bot which collects all tagged unreferenced biographies of living people, plus other lists onto one page in your project.
It is very easy to add to your project: simply add a template to a page of your project! Instructions
A list of examples is here
If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles that your project covers, to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Holidays/Archive 7/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
I recently updated the Holiday article to mention the fact that in Australia, the word holiday is used only to refer to days which involve time away from work or school for most people. Days such as Valentines Day, Ash Wednesday, Yom Kippur, Halloween, etc, which do not involve time away from work or school, are NOT described as holidays in Australia.
The definition on the Portal:Holidays page implies that the same meaning is used right across the English speaking world. Clearly that is wrong. Unlike the editor(s) who made the original incorrect claim for the whole English speaking world, I don't pretend to know enough about other cultures to be sure about the situation in other places. There could be other places similar to Australia, and there could be other differences. Can I ask that editors take these known and possible differences in meaning into consideration when using the word holiday in articles?

Consensus has been reached (several months ago) to merge WikiProject Halloween into WikiProject Holidays as a task force similar in scope to the Christmas task force. Unless someone from WP Holidays objects, I'll begin moving the Halloween task force into it's new home. -Mabeenot (talk) 07:19, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
In the United States and possibly Canada too, the word holiday means a specific day or days to observe a particular occasion or event. These days include Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentines day, etc. To take a break from work, the term "vacation" is used.
In the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, the word "holiday" is more likely to mean taking a break from work, and the term vacation is not used at all. When you think about it, the American holiday is usually a day off work, so maybe that is the more sensible term.

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 Christmas 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!

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big tableorby categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 19:51, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject Holidays for a Signpost article to be published at the end of November. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 22:10, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
Just a heads up the article Baby Jesus theft is currently at AFD.--Mo Rock...Monstrous (leech44) 16:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
I thought this was a forum for truly all of us humans to present our common human information, but I found a political caveat instead. The word Christmas is not of a single origin (just ask yourself why no other European language has the word Christ in their translation of the word Christmas). How come the English Wiki on the word Christmas is totally dominated (dictated) by Anglo-American-Christian mainstream with only showing some easily acceptable sidies, and the page then locked (Wow!). Locking in this case equals caving in politically to one side. Only when all sides are represented, only then do we have a final wiki. District-election thinking is dumb. Wiki is, must and should be proportional; it should show real human nature in its results.
I feel sorry for Jimmy Wales. He probably did not expect his sites to become politically-entrenched niches. Are you interested in what I am talking about in this particular case? Just google 'kerstmas' (choose first on the list). Wiki is broad. Anyone believing wiki should be narrow probably also believes in Santa.

We're missing an article about the Feast of the Hunter's Moon. Currently a dab page resides, linking to the calendrical lunar event, and an album. It would be good to convert the dab page into an article, with a hatnote to the album instead. 65.93.12.101 (talk) 14:14, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content. I have put together the beginnings of an outline for such discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/2011 meeting, and would very much appreciate the input of any interested editors. I am thinking that it might run over two months, the first of which would be to bring forward and discuss the current state of the content, and the second for perhaps some more focused discussion on what, if any, specific efforts might be taken in the near future. Any and all input is more than welcome. John Carter (talk)
