October 2007 newsletter for WikiProject Abandoned Articles[edit]
Welcome[edit]
The WikiProject welcomes two new members in the past three months:
Progress[edit]
The WikiProject is now halfway done, numerically, with the 1000 articles identified in December 2006. The first (oldest) 500 articles have been claimed, reviewed, and (when needed, which was almost all cases) improved. Moreover, given the passage of time, many of articles 501 through 1000 have been worked on by other editors (it's ten months since that list was generated). So reviewing the second half of the 1000 articles should be easier.
A slightly different approach[edit]
Section 6 (articles 501 through 600 on the list) has been organized differently than the previous five sections. First, blocks are (roughly) five articles each, rather than 10, making it easier for you to claim and finish a block. Second, perhaps more importantly, each block consists of similar pages; if you're interested in fixing disambiguation pages, there are blocks of those; if you're interested in articles (which is what the project originally started out being), there are blocks of those; and there is one block of lists and one of redirects (mostly redirects to articles). So, fewer surprises this time when you claim a block.
In addition, since the project now has 25 active members (though some are likely inactive), having more blocks will make it easier to spread the editing around.
Inactivating your membership[edit]
If you received this newsletter on your user talk page and don't want to receive such postings in the future, please move your name, in the participants section of the WikiProject, to the "Inactive" subsection.
About this newsletter[edit]
This newsletter is being delivered by Anibot; it was written by John Broughton. Please post any comments about it to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Abandoned Articles, in a section separate from the newsletter itself.
A new newsletter directory is out![edit]
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Anyone out there?[edit]
Is this project still alive? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Starman2377 (talk • contribs) 18:40, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Starman2377: Indeed it is, although our efforts are not centralised as one may expect with most WikiProjects. UaMaol (talk) 07:04, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

JUDUCA[edit]
JUDUCA is a Wikipedia/Wikimedia page which was abandoned prior to 2016, it requires a whole article being written and actualization to be realized on its pages. Please take this into consideration before copy editing or looking for citations on different pages. 多多123 (talk) 13:26, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
