Hi, I'm currently working on a new EU History page. The current one is just a history of enlargement and although I am expanding its content, there are two problems still facing it. Firstly, it is all very political, mentions of things like terrorist attacks or other major events outside of the development of the EU's organisation are missing. Secondly there is no Europe-wide history page to organise that which happened outside the EU during this time.
I hope that the members of this project can help to rectify this, by ensuring that the developing new page has sufficient mentions or links to other major events. All comments and contributions are much appreciated. See: User:JLogan/DraftEUHistory - J Logan t/ c: 11:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I was noting down the related projects for Wikipedia:WikiProject European Union and number of small European projects as I was going round. How do you guys feel about a parent "WIkiProject Europe" to link together as many European projects at the top (not merge, unless some fell the need to)? It could help discussion and cooperation between projects and possibly reduce overheads for the smaller ones. In addition for areas with no project of their own. Where a project has few members or is inactive, a common peer-assessment could help them move forward.
Ideas? For central discussion, see WIkiproject EU talk page 193.11.208.247 12:48, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject History now has a European task force. I am considering merging this project with that task force if no one objects-- Phoenix 15 ( Talk) 13:50, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I object to anything hasty, let's talk about the best way to do this first before deprecating this project.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 17:54, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I have removed the deprecation tags, there is no consensus.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 21:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm okay with the merger — doesn't affect me much either way, I just think it's important to have a group for doing that sort of thing. — Ryan McDaniel 20:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Clearly there should be a relationship between the Wikipedia:WikiProject_History and this Project. This project should probably merge with Project_History/European_task_force. But the information on this Project page should be largely preserved in the result rather than deprecating this project. The larger question is whether this should ultimately be a project or a task force. Understanding the analogy to WP:MILHIST, that had a somewhat different evolution. This is a bit more forced. There is a current proposal for a WikiProject US History and an existing and active Wikipedia:WikiProject_Australian_history, as well as several regional and country specific history projects with less to no activity. The Project History page seems to indicate an intent to do this same thing to every region. If so, a much broader discussion is in order. One alternative would be to have the Task force page redirect to here. Another would be to simply list this as a subproject of the Project History and treat this more like the Wikipedia:WikiProject Tree of life where there are many levels of sub projects which take some of their guidelines from higher level projects and do other, more topic specific things, independently. Whether a task force or a project, this project's parentage is really shared between the embryonic History project and Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe. -- Doug.( talk • contribs) 20:55, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm newly appointed coordinator of the Wikipedia: WikiProject History. I was coordinator of the Wikipedia: WikiProject Military History before. My scope is to improve the cooperation among the different history projects andf use the synergy of a common infrastructure to improve article quality. One idea would be to merge small project into a larger wikiproject history with a common infrastructure and the small projects continuing independently as task forces of this project. What are your suggestions? Greetings Wandalstouring 15:13, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
The above Project is currently inactive. I believe it would make sense to merge that project into this one. If that would mean that there might be established a "History of Poland" task force of this project, I think that might be reasonable and acceptable. John Carter 14:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Can we do this and add a parameter to our banner for the task force? Like a "|Poland = yes" parameter? Could such a parameter add be used in concert with WikiProject Eastern Europe as well?-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 18:48, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
There has been only one comment from the Polish History Project and it was not what I would call an objection. Considering the inactive status of that project, I don't think there is a consensus issue. Let's just do this. John's proposed title: Wikipedia:WikiProject European history/Polish history task force is long, but it's consistent with the way WP:MILHIST names their task forces. What do you say?-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 02:45, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks on both counts.
I would love to help out with a little revamping. I'd be interested in hearing what your potential plans / goals are.
Cheers! - Revolving Bugbear (formerly Che Nuevara) 17:19, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
What would you think about doing a serious overhaul of WP:EH to try and get the project running a little more coherently? I've started to outline some potential topics of discussion here. Cheers! - Revolving Bugbear 19:08, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Just to throw this into the mix, there are historical regions like Transylvania (this particular one has several separate articles devoted to it's history and a portal.-- Doug.( talk • contribs) 21:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
I've made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#What to do with WikiProject History-- Phoenix-wiki ( talk · contribs) 23:03, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
