Would you guys be interested in beta testing a new Hot Articles service? This service automatically updates a list of the most edited articles for your project from the last several days. An example can be seen at WikiProject Feminism. If you're interested, you can sign up on the subscriptions page. The initial trial is limited to 10 Projects and is for 7 days only, but then will likely be extended indefinitely if the trial is successful. Kaldari ( talk) 23:15, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
I found this at another project, thought you may like it:

I've updated Everards brewery, partly because I live near them and partly because I know they have a lot of historical photos. Any help to improve the layout would be appreciated. JRPG ( talk) 22:17, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

I've been working on improving the article, and have also suggested the page be split, as the article currently contains both beers of the Caribbean and Central America. Please visit Talk:Beer in the Caribbean to cast your vote.-- Chimino ( talk) 04:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
There are an enormous number of images of beer bottles and beer canson commons that foreground copyrighted packaging in clear violation of commons rules. I will soon be requesting that they be deleted, and I can't imagine any reason why my request would not be approved. I would hate, however, for all these images to be lost. They could easily be uploaded to wikipedia under fair use. Is there anyone here that would like to move them, with that purpose, before they get deleted? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 23:50, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
FYI, despite the discussion above not garner consensus at Commons, TheMightyQuill has put up several beer and wine images on Commons up for speedy deletion. Many have already been deleted. Agne Cheese/ Wine 20:37, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
I've overhauled the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company page, taking it from an advert-style listing with one citation to an encyclopedic page with over twenty verifiable references. How do I go about appealing for an upgrade from C-class?-- Chimino ( talk) 14:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

-- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 04:35, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
OK, tongue in cheek but only partly. In the 1830's Leicester briefly held the World record as the most unhealthy place to live. The problem was polluted water and beer was a much safer drink. Everards Brewery is one of the UK's oldest firms and contributed to the National Brewery Museum Trust in Burton. It has a good collection of photos and I may be able to persuade it to contribute -if this would be welcome. JRPG ( talk) 21:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
DC Brau Brewing just created. Welcome any feedback. Working on a photo. — e. ripley\ talk 18:20, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Just saw Three Heads Brewing created while doing new pages patrol. It's the sort of thing that could end up AFD'ed easily in its present form. It could use some attention from interested editors. — e. ripley\ talk 23:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
I have done a new version of this page in the sandbox. I still have some aligning tweaks to do on the various compartments and need to update the icons in the banners.
Any comments? -- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 19:46, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
I have done a new version of the welcome template to bring it is synch with the main Beer Project page.
Any comments? -- Jeremy ( blah blah • I did it!) 16:24, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
There are a couple of beer and pub up for discussion at Articles for Deletion.

I'm new to wikiprojects and I wanted to take over a stub on Imperial beer. I tried to add myself to the participant tab but when I edited it I didn't see the list. How do I get on? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpcannonjr ( talk • contribs) 21:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

to your talk page. You do not need to be a "project participant" to edit any beer related articles though. This wiki space just facilitates any organized projects and issues within the realm of beer articles.

15:19, 9 September 2011 (UTC)A discussion at the Village Pumps suggests that having WikiProjects call their advice pages "guidelines" is confusing at least some editors into thinking that they're the same as the "official" community-wide guidelines like WP:Reliable sources. WP:POLICY#Naming generally discourages the use of terms like "guideline" or "policy" in page names even for regular policies anyway. So some of the WikiProjects are renaming their pages to something like "Article advice", "Recommendations", or "Style advice". This is just a friendly suggestion (by no means a requirement) that your group consider doing the same. There are templates listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Advice_pages if you want to tag the pages that way.
While you're at it, if it's been a long time since anyone overhauled those pages, this might be a good time to do that, too. I don't know what the history is for your group, but it's pretty typical for a page to get written and then neglected for a long time. If you happen to find anything that no longer matches up with the community-wide Manual of Style or other general guidelines, then perhaps it would be good to fix it.

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Beer for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. - Mabeenot ( talk) 23:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
CAMRA was the original name of the Campaign for Real Ale article, until it was moved in December 2005, and a redirect was left behind. In Feb this year a user created a disamb page, offering readers the choice of going to Campaign for Real Ale or Canberra Academy of Music and Related Arts. The redirect was restored under WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and a hatnote placed on Campaign for Real Ale, pointing to Canberra Academy of Music and Related Arts. Another user has objected to the restoration of the redirect. Evidence was then provided of the high traffic to Campaign for Real Ale, and the low traffic to Canberra Academy of Music and Related Arts via CAMRA; evidence has also been provided for the high global visibility and recognition of the CAMRA acronym with the Campaign for Real Ale. Time has been provided for counter arguments and evidence. See discussion on Talk:CAMRA. The page is now somewhat unstable due to the dispute. Opinions and comments would be helpful.

I've created an article for the newest brewery in Chicago, and it's already being attacked as non-notable and nominated for speedy deletion here. Anyone interested (particularly any Chicago-based beer geeks/WPB members)please have a look at the article and weigh in on the deletion nomination. Thanks. Ryecatcher773 ( talk) 16:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
I understand the controversy on copyright but I'm doing a contribution on commons with a (I think) high quality photo of bottle. The gallery is here. I hope that this photo will be useful for each specific page. Alessio Facchin ( talk) 21:10, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
For those of you who would like, I had created a Craft Beer fan userbox.
User:RightCowLeftCoast/Userboxes/Craft beer
Enjoy! -- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 22:04, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
The whole thing is pretty silly whatever the case... especially since 20 years ago, neither 'microwbrew' nor 'craft beer' were terms anyone really used (because such things weren't widely available). But whatever the case, I think that the userbox that RightCow created was simply intended to say "hey, I prefer (insert: whatever-you-wanna-call-small-independent-brewry-made-beer) over big corporate pale lager-mills (e.g. AB, Miller and Coors)." Which is exactly how I interpreted it. If that doesn't translate in the UK (or elsewhere), then there's nothing stopping anyone who lives there and has an interest in doing so from making a UB that says whatever. Ryecatcher773 ( talk) 13:26, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
Just a heads-up that this is now at FAC, at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Boddingtons/archive1. I don't know yet if there are other problems, but the prose could use some help if anyone wants to lend a hand. While I'm here, your wikiproject has done great work for years, so I'm a little surprised that there's only one FA tagged by your wikiproject ... and it's about a TV commercial! Let me know if I can help. - Dank ( push to talk) 03:01, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
