Alright, let us do something noteworthy! Wikiproject startin

Post by a_Lex »

Okay guys

What we intend to do here is to become an organised group of Wikipedia editors that will care about All Things Mythos in the English Wikipedia.

So, first things first - everyone interested, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... =Main_Page and create yourself an account. I also suggest you add CAPITAL letters TOD in your username so we can recognise each other (I am registered as AlexeyTOD already).

We need to work out the unique (but still consistent with wikipedia "culture")userpage design for our group, however.
Any, um, humans good at design here?



Now, let us discuss what is our current objective.

I suggest taking care of Cthulhu article first.

So, if you approve of this suggestion, (see poll) let us adress the following:

1) it is considered to be a B-Class article on the wiki scale . Let's work and improve untill it is an "A"

2)There has been a peer review. Not the best one, but I think guys are right - more sources rock, so let's see where we can put more sources

3)The Cthulhu article has been nominated as Featured Article and failed :( We must adress the issues that caused this failure (that "in-universe perspective" thing, whatever it means...)

4)Mop up the Cthulhu discussion page (striking out issues adressed etc.)

plunging into the convoluted workings of wikipedia isn't of great appeal to me, but i will offer my design services to help the cause. i tried the 'userpage design for our group' link but it came back 'article not found'... so i'm not sure exactly what you want in terms of graphics & stuff. let me know and i'll put in some effort.

JJ, I'lll post it here.

Here is my wiki user page (or, rather, absence of it): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?tit ... ction=edit

And here is an example of a decent user page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Old_american_century

So what I need is someone with design skills to do a decent user page for me (that will be later used by fellow TOD-wikieditors as template for their userpages).
The page must mention our beloved temple in a prominent-but-neutral manner. I guess a box saying "this user worships Old Ones at the Temple of Dagon" would do...
