Discussion[edit]

Continuing from my talk page[edit]

Would this work for a B-class checklist?

          <!-- B-Class checklist -->
          <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all 
          major points out outside of a plot section are appropriately cited. -->
          |B-Class-1=
          <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and 
          does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. -->
          |B-Class-2=
          <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including 
          a lead section and one or more sections of content. -->
          |B-Class-3=
          <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. -->
          |B-Class-4=
          <!-- 5. If possible, it contains appropriate supporting materials, 
          such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. -->
          |B-Class-5=
          <!-- Reviews and collaborations -->
          |A-Class=
          |collaboration-candidate= 
          |past-collaboration= 
          |peer-review= 
          |old-peer-review=

In other thoughts:

Should we tag our PR as inactive and just start up an A-class process instead? It would be of greater benefit to the project, IMO, and it should also help editors more. I think that between us two, Liveste, and (maybe) a requirement to make nominators review another A-class nom we should be able to do alright as long as we aren't flooded.
Should we also tag the newsletter with an inactive tag? This seems like a foregone conclusion...

Parameters seem good to me. Tag newsletter as inactive seems ok - but with a message that with an editor it can soon be revived. It might encourage someone to volunteer. I'd leave the Peer review for the minute and see how a A-class process went first. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 13:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alright. I'm just trying to throw ideas out there...maybe that Coords working group is influencing me too much. ;)

What nomenclature should we use? I.e. Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Assessment/ or set up a new Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Review/ ? —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 23:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One last newsletter[edit]

I got one together here, Kevin; please check it out and make whatever changes you deem necessary. —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 23:55, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

perhaps a bit negative in view - I wouldn't myself have been that down on things. But I don't feel strongly enough about it to make changes. Good for you to put this together. Are you able to send it out? :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:57, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to shock. :) I toned it down a bit; double-check quick? Is there anything big missing? And I'll leave a note on Tucherianbot's talk page after you check it out once more :) —Ed 17 ^{(Talk / Contribs)} 21:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, go for it. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinators.[edit]

According to the Coordinators page, the Coordinators term should have been up on March 5, and there should have been another election. The project seems to be declining a bit activity wise, so I think we need to get things going. I'll post a message on the Coordinators talk-pages. Let's see if we can get the Project up and running again. Wikipedia needs it. Alan16 (talk) 19:15, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently working on 3 novel articles and would love some additional feedback and any help that can be given. And I have an issue on the fact that there has been no new election. Is this project behind? Tetobigbro talk 04:18, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
