I strongly recommend that you place the project on the Wikipedia:List of WikiProjects and that you plaster your banner anywhere and everywhere you can. I only found out about your project today, and am in the process of placing the project banner on all the relevant pages I encountered today. I have also put it on my list of banners. One small suggestion, however: maybe you could make the flag image a bit bigger. It is relatively small right now. Badbilltucker 19:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I plan on starting a WikiProject for West Virginia sometime soon and was wondering if you disloyal traitors to the Union (j/k) would like to cooperate on all matters of the current state of WV before June 20, 1863 (ie when we told y'all to "go take a hike" after you guys bet on a losing horse, lol) and the events related to the partition of the state? Cheers.

We've been waiting for ya'll! The American Civil War task force has started a state-by-state treatment of U.S. states in the American Civil War, hence the new category Virginia in the Civil War and the stub, Virginia in the Civil War. I went ahead and placed Category:Virginia in the Civil War on your WikiProject Virginia/Categories page under Category:History of Virginia. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/American Civil War task force for more info. Thanks! • CQ 16:04, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Would a template similar to the {{VAGovernors}} be good for the colonial governors as well? T REX speak 06:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
OK, have set up a Portal! Need help finishing it and am also open to whatever else we should add. You'll notice I'm missing some things in the Fact area, and also have done the Attractions page if anyone wants to tackle that. Am also wondering what else we should add to show off our great state? Perhaps have a whole History box? -- plange 05:09, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
WikiProject Biography has finished their compilation of core biographies (200), which is basically a worklist of articles that we'd like to get to FA. Some of them are Virginians (of course!!), so I thought I'd list them here so we can perhaps work together to get these up to snuff....
Did I miss any others? -- plange 01:48, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi. If you still have work to do tagging talk pages and assessing articles, my AWB plugin might be of interest to you.
The plugin has two main modes of operation:
As of the current version, WikiProjects with simple "generic" templates are supported by the plugin without the need for any special programatic support by me. I've had a look at your project's template and you seem to qualify.
For more information see:
Hope that helps. If you have any questions or find any bugs please let me know on the plugin's talk page. -- Kingboyk 15:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
I've written at least a stub for each of the primary state highways in Virginia except for the minor routes that serve state facilities. -- NE2 03:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
A new WikiProject has been started, and may be of interest to members here. It is WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. It covers all listings on the Register, in all states and territories. Should you be so inclined, please feel free to join. And spread the word to any other interested parties. - Ebyabe 19:57, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 19:24, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Has the A-Class disappeared? Do we not have any articles that are A class. It doesn't show up in the assessment table. T REX speak 17:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Someone from the project has nominated Jamestown, Virginia - please vote! -- plange 17:14, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
I was writing up the article on the Varmint of Burke's Garden last night, and it got me to thinking about possibly creating a "Virginia folklore" category. Trouble is, I can't really think of anything else that might fit in the category, other than the Bunny Man in Vienna. Any thoughts? -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 18:35, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I would like to call to your attention the fact that the recently formed Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Virginia has recently been userfied, after only three days of existence. To me, this does not reflect very well on wikipedia, because the group had already gathered three members in those three days. Considering that the scope of the UVa project technically falls within the scope of your project, I was wondering if you thought that there might be a chance for the UVa group to become a subproject of some kind of your own group. I also think it would set a good precedent for all the other state-sponsored universities out there which could potentially make the unmanagable number of existing WikiProjects even more unmanagable. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. Badbilltucker 15:53, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
Swiped the format from the Pennsylvania template and went ahead and created this - I figured it would be nice to have. I'll go ahead and stick it on the existing articles. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 02:35, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Now, I was given to understand that some years ago, user:Rambot created boilerplate entries for all towns compiled by the US Census.
So why, only today, was a micro-stub created for Lovingston, Virginia, which appears to be the county seat for Nelson County? How could a county seat -- even for a small county -- be overlooked? -- Calton | Talk 06:32, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
A look at List of county seats in Virginia shows 7 red-links:
And that's not counting any blue-links which may be bad micro-stubs. I'm not a resident of the Commonwealth, so I leave this up to you folks who know about these things. -- Calton | Talk 08:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 22:25, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
