HiJasavina! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there! Doctree (I'm a Teahouse host)
Hi Jasavina. Regarding this revert, I can see that only two users have commented on the WikiProject's talk page in the last three years – could you perhaps reconsider whether it is really "active"? Please note that the purpose of classifying WikiProjects like this is not to mark them as a failure or anything, it's to keep track of which projects might need help to return to life, for example by merging with related projects that are also struggling to stay active. – Joe (talk) 15:01, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Joe Roe Hey Joe, (also Joe, here) it's about to pick up, sorry. I can see why you would think it's inactive and don't blame you for the label. The double-edged sword of discord means that all the conversation is happening off Wikipedia, and I'm pushing to move it back here so we can recruit and advertise to the broader wiki community. I can undo the revert if you like and we can start to move the activity here. When/if you think it's active enough you can re-lable it, how's that? Jasavina (talk) 15:09, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah let's see how it goes. I wish you the best of luck, but from experience it's pretty difficult to keep WikiProjects running with just a few active participants. The ones that really work in the long term have twenty or more.
But if you're starting things up again, why not think about joining forces with others? Looking at the directory, there are active projects on Politics and Elections & Referendums. Perhaps if, for example, Voting Systems and Elections & Referendums became task forces of Politics, the combined participant base would get you over that highly-active threshold? – Joe (talk) 15:19, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
