I've gone ahead and submitted eight of my articles to GAN. Along with History of Mumbai, we have 9 Mumbai-related articles that can possibly attain GA status.
I was thinking that we all pick a top priority article each, and nominate it for GA status. Each article should take about a day to develop. Doesn't need to be too comprehensive, but make sure you use all information you can get from Google searches that throw up reliable sources.
I'll pick Gateway of India to begin with. =Nichalp «Talk»= 09:01, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey where were all the editors???? November 2008 Mumbai attacks went total haywire. All the article is writen in American style. We required editors to form a majority to take desicissions. Only Kensplanet was actively editing. I'll like to thank Nichalp for providing live updates.-- Suyogaerospace talk to me! 12:09, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
I've uploaded photos here:
Feel free to add them to the page.
I'd like to draw attention to this image ( File:2008 Mumbai terror attacks Metro before firing 1.jpg) (I've accidently overwritten it with another image. This image was taken by me of the gathered journalists at Metro Cinema, minutes before they were fired upon. It was blurry because of the poor light conditions, so I headed back in disappointment. Some 10 mins later, people were running helter skelter and the firing took place. =Nichalp «Talk»= 14:35, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:04, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Many of the articles in Category:Neighbourhoods in Mumbai (esp. on the areas along the railway line) need serious cleanup. They've deteriorated a lot in the past few months, due to constant addition of trivial information (such as trivial details about about non-notable buildings, schools and NGOs). We need to make sure that these articles remain clutter-free. utcursch | talk 05:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
Thanks. — Headbomb { ταλκ κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:26, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Mumbai articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

About 283 Mumbai related articles in English Wikipedia needs photos. We are planning an event "Wiki Takes Mumbai (2012)", with dates and timings still to be fixed. Will however like to know any one interest or any comments. Thanks in advance.

We have been requesting the community at large in general for Volunteer coordinators for all the task forces/daughter projects of WikiProject India. We have also been requesting suitable editors to volunteer for this post. We have been making this request in those WikiProjects where no one can be seen taking up a clear leadership role to champion the cause of the WikiProject.
After a long time, we have found a volunteer for WikiProject Mumbai, User:Karthikndr who has agreed to be the volunteer coordinator. We welcome him in this onerous and prestigious venture and request all Task Force members to cooperate with him. Karthikndr is an enthusiastic and balanced editor. He has 12181 edits since 23 June 2010 and has autoreviewer, filemover and rollbacker rights. He has a challenging task in front of him. The WikiProject has 877 articles and many more undiscovered ones to steward. Please support him not only with moral support but edits, ideas, engagement and encouragement. AshLin ( talk) 17:14, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
The volunteer coordinator's roles include:
The Volunteer coordinator is a volunteer from the community and is answerable to the community. The volunteer enjoys the informal recognition and full support of the community. A volunteer coordinator is equal in all respects to all other editors except that he/she has the privilege to work on the WikiProject's wide range of interests. We trust him/her to take the best decisions and right actions. It is prestigious to be a volunteer coordinator as it signifies community trust reposed in an editor. However, the volunteer coordinator is open to recall by the community, should the community so decide that this is in the best interests of all concerned.
Any editor of good standing can volunteer or be chosen by the community. There is no rule which says a WikiProject can have only one volunteer coordinator but each should have at least one such person. User:Karthikndr will need co-coordinators to work alongside with him. We expect responsible editors to take up these volunteer positions as a natural progression of things. We expect them to work together in harmony, with wisdom and with consensus. If they find themselves in COI or unable to carry out their duties in good faith, we expect them to inform the community and surrender their post. In addition, a volunteer is open to recall by the community, should the community so decide. AshLin ( talk) 17:14, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

An earlier requested-move survey generated lots of controversy and an arbitration case. Therefore, this one is being posted here and in many other places, to gather a very wide range of opinions outside of the Scotland and Australia WikiProjects. |
A requested move survey was started at Talk:Perth_(disambiguation)#Requested_move, which proposes to move:
Background: There was a previous requested-move survey which ran from late May to mid June. There was a great deal of controversy surrounding the closure and subsequent events, which involved a number of reverts and re-reverts which are the subject of an ongoing arbitration case. There was a move review process, which was closed with a finding that the original requested-move closure was endorsed; however, the move review process is relatively new and untried. — P.T.

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) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
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.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

We need to make sure that these articles remain clutter-free. utcursch | talk 05:42, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.
Thanks. — Headbomb { ταλκ κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:26, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Mumbai articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

About 283 Mumbai related articles in English Wikipedia needs photos. We are planning an event "Wiki Takes Mumbai (2012)", with dates and timings still to be fixed. Will however like to know any one interest or any comments. Thanks in advance.

We have been requesting the community at large in general for Volunteer coordinators for all the task forces/daughter projects of WikiProject India. We have also been requesting suitable editors to volunteer for this post. We have been making this request in those WikiProjects where no one can be seen taking up a clear leadership role to champion the cause of the WikiProject.
After a long time, we have found a volunteer for WikiProject Mumbai, User:Karthikndr who has agreed to be the volunteer coordinator. We welcome him in this onerous and prestigious venture and request all Task Force members to cooperate with him. Karthikndr is an enthusiastic and balanced editor. He has 12181 edits since 23 June 2010 and has autoreviewer, filemover and rollbacker rights. He has a challenging task in front of him. The WikiProject has 877 articles and many more undiscovered ones to steward. Please support him not only with moral support but edits, ideas, engagement and encouragement. AshLin ( talk) 17:14, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
The volunteer coordinator's roles include:
The Volunteer coordinator is a volunteer from the community and is answerable to the community. The volunteer enjoys the informal recognition and full support of the community. A volunteer coordinator is equal in all respects to all other editors except that he/she has the privilege to work on the WikiProject's wide range of interests. We trust him/her to take the best decisions and right actions. It is prestigious to be a volunteer coordinator as it signifies community trust reposed in an editor. However, the volunteer coordinator is open to recall by the community, should the community so decide that this is in the best interests of all concerned.
Any editor of good standing can volunteer or be chosen by the community. There is no rule which says a WikiProject can have only one volunteer coordinator but each should have at least one such person. User:Karthikndr will need co-coordinators to work alongside with him. We expect responsible editors to take up these volunteer positions as a natural progression of things. We expect them to work together in harmony, with wisdom and with consensus. If they find themselves in COI or unable to carry out their duties in good faith, we expect them to inform the community and surrender their post. In addition, a volunteer is open to recall by the community, should the community so decide. AshLin ( talk) 17:14, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

An earlier requested-move survey generated lots of controversy and an arbitration case. Therefore, this one is being posted here and in many other places, to gather a very wide range of opinions outside of the Scotland and Australia WikiProjects. |
A requested move survey was started at Talk:Perth_(disambiguation)#Requested_move, which proposes to move:
Background: There was a previous requested-move survey which ran from late May to mid June. There was a great deal of controversy surrounding the closure and subsequent events, which involved a number of reverts and re-reverts which are the subject of an ongoing arbitration case. There was a move review process, which was closed with a finding that the original requested-move closure was endorsed; however, the move review process is relatively new and untried. — P.T.

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) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
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.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?
