Article titles[edit]

I added a description at /Article title conventions. -- User:Docu

Copied from User talk:BillC: What do think of this summary? It could avoid us a template like de:Vorlage:Begriffsklärung Schweizer Kanton. -- User:Docu

A good plan, and one to which we should stick. I am aware that people have been chasing after me in the municipality articles, tidying up such things as double redirects and name changes. The article names have been taken from the German Wikipedia, which might cause some differences in view over whether, for example, French or German names should be used for certain places. I should probably be trying to bring in others on this. If anyone feels that they want to contribute to the (admittedly not interesting) task of pasting in the municipality articles, or by using some other method such as a bot, please do let me know. In the meantime, I will endeavour to follow the naming conventions in Docu's subpage above. BillC 18:02, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Places WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! Titoxd(?!? - help us) 18:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

District templates[edit]

I believe I have now converted all pre-existing district navigation templates to the same dynamic navigation box style, and have standardised on the names to Template:Municipalities of the district of XXXX. (Though of course some more may yet turn up.) The template includes interwikis to its French and German equivalents, and adds itself to Category:Swiss district templates. I'm now in the process of creating templates for the remaining districts and adding them to pre-existing municipality articles; as of this point in time, about 70 (out of ~165) remain to do. The templates exist in the form of a text file; creation is a matter of cut-and-paste. If anyone feels they would like to assist, it would be very welcome. BillC 22:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a parallel Category:Swiss canton templates, to gather the navigational boxes that give the districts of each canton. Probably the cantons without districts (i.e. municipalities is the next level) should go here, but I only added the ones with districts so far. There are a number of missing templates and a lot of missing articles to add here too. Rigadoun 16:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Municipalities 2009[edit]

As quite a few municipalities have merged on January 1, 2009, many articles need updating. I'm adding a to do list above, please complete it so it may help as in the future as well. -- User:Docu

Gallery of Swiss municipalities[edit]

There is now a subpage at Wikipedia:WikiProject Swiss municipalities/Galleries/1. -- User:Docu

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal[edit]

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject X is live![edit]

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.
