On project talk page

I think after all this (ok youve done all the work) I need to do a birth portal to balance my karma on all of this :( Satu Suro 09:26, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You could go and plant some trees maybe? -Pollinosisss (talk) 09:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hahah or exercise my jack russell terrors - yes - but hey having repeated myself endlessly - you have done an amazing job - I reckon we are moving close to feature portal and project status before we have even really started - I mean there are so many sub pages we could add (well maybe not as many as milhist) - and the idea I had about a year ago after seeing GO creating a myriad of death categories - and I could not believe that wikipedia did not have a project or portal on it (ok monty python and the beatles maybe - but no death?) - so we need a very big

Done - even we could go on endlessly from this point in tweaking. Thanks Satu Suro 09:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously though, if all this death stuff is bugging you right now, by all means work on some other things. -Pollinosisss (talk) 09:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nah we have hardly started :) Satu Suro 09:40, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please feel free to modify my attempt at complicating the issue Satu Suro 07:45, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We'll need an archive page at the project talk page too :) Satu Suro 07:47, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll set up automated archival in a moment.

Well, I think it's been set up properly. We should know within a day or so.

Assesments

Are you leaving the bottom part untagged for any particular reason? If you dont mind me asking? Satu Suro 09:49, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I find it hard to assess the importance at times. I've been more or less ignoring it for now...... -Pollinosisss (talk) 09:55, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thats fine - I think we need an assesment sub page and a very careful distinction between articles that are purely death arts - and those shared with other projects Satu Suro 12:05, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Decision time

It is constructed - I had put it in the self and society part of one list - but we need to put a category at the base of the main portal page - any ideas? It is beyond 'under-cnstructin' almost ready for nominating for featured portal Satu Suro 13:45, 12 January 2010 (UTC) To be honest I am really dissapointed with the inconsistent mess at the bottom of Biography portal and Mind and Brain in the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Contents/Portals#People_and_self - I would have hoped for some better example.. anyways we probably need some quiet reading - what better than: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_portal%3F - cheers Satu Suro 13:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are we allowed to put it in more than one category? If we have to pick one, I still say Society, but that really doesn't cover the health aspects. -Pollinosisss (talk) 14:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the multidisciplinary project thing carried over into portal terriory things would be so sweet - but some very dumb bunny obviously who has neither experience as a librarian/cataloguer/ or thinker created some very linear discrete sections - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal/Categorizing is close to useless - I honestly am at odds with the portal system in parts - but I think the best bet is to put it in People and Society' at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Portal/Directory - adn then work out the processes after that Satu Suro 14:13, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you. -Pollinosisss (talk) 14:14, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done ~~but needs a ce edit~~ fixed Satu Suro 14:21, 12 January 2010 (UTC) Congrats btw - 5 edits away from 16,000 - well done - considering how many have gone to help the Death project and Portal - amazing stuff! Satu Suro 15:00, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks :) -Pollinosisss (talk) 15:45, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thank you - never thought it could be done so quick - Satu Suro 15:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think after all this (ok still going for quite a bit yet) we might have the temerity to call ourselves thanatologists of sorts Satu Suro 16:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed! - Pollinosisss (talk) 00:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?namespace=&target=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject+Death&tagfilter=&title=Special%3ARecentChangesLinked - you may already be aware of this way of checking - but I have it on my user page for the Indonesian project - and there is a good idea that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AlexNewArtBot this bot get signed up to as well - but hey all in good time Satu Suro 23:51, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AlexNewArtBot should prove to be quite useful in the long-run once properly set up. -Pollinosisss (talk) 00:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Watching your contributions history - I do hope you get to sleep, eat, etc - its beginning to look a bit of a heavy one there - take care! Satu Suro 09:45, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've had a lot on my mind recently, it's been keeping me up at odd hours. -Pollinosisss (talk) 10:43, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sleep deprivation is ok at the keyboard, but in some real life situations it can be v dangerous - take care! Satu Suro 12:05, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

12 hours and you havent been on - trust all is ok Satu Suro 12:43, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All is well. I probably wont be on for the next few days though. -Pollinosisss (talk) 17:57, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good - please to hear that - I must apologise - I spoke for you at the Death Talk page re image for the template - saying youd be off for a few days Satu Suro 02:24, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's ok. -Pollinosisss (talk) 06:08, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI

See here Template talk:WikiProject Death ..Love the new Portal..add a ridge and a Wikiproject link box!!..Buzzzsherman (talk) 18:50, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks -Pollinosisss (talk) 06:08, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested moves

Should be at Cfd -shall we put em up there as a joint proposal - usually not the talk page of an article - but actually at cfd....Satu Suro 06:45, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was following the instructions on Wikipedia:Requested_moves. -Pollinosisss (talk) 06:53, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey looks good - I usually seem to end up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion - lets hope it works within reasonable time Satu Suro 07:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BTW - do you realise your 'on x' arts are challengable on the basis of the lack of WP:RS? it would be a pity to see somebody go and challenge them - you need to fix the problem - online or written sources to verify for WP:N and WP:V issues if anyone should challenge - cheers Satu Suro 03:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't really thought about it.... The articles are certainly notable. I'll have to add some sources at some point. -Pollinosisss (talk) 03:24, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cemeteries article and list of cemeteries

Hi now I have tasmanian trains partially out of my system for a while I was considering tackling the two above mentioned in the next couple of days depending on real life - I think the cemeteries are almost (dread I think of the term) taskforce of the death project to get up to scratch - the huge see also section is the cemeteries article is not alphabetical, etc etc - good to see the steady plod - cheers Satu Suro 00:28, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be more than willing to help you deal with the articles in question. I may be a little distracted for the next week or two though. -Pollinosisss (talk) 18:09, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah real life might do the same for me - I think it might (the big list) splitting up into country lists - might be the only way to go Satu Suro 23:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The really big problem is protocol - going to each country project (if it exists) and stating that now there is a death project - at the death project page that we have considered it too big and unmamangaeable and wait for comment (or maybe we just go ahead seing that it passes the duck text so easily (ie looks like a duck quacks like a duck etc) ie too long too big and problematic as is.

I do hope no one wants to go for afd - as it still has use - but simply as a redirect to specific country lists... the more i think about it the more it feels like a lot of very hard slogging work to do each country list etc etc... Satu Suro 00:55, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I suppose this whole thing is a bit of a longterm project. -Pollinosisss (talk) 01:01, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am thinking a country a day sort of thing - (1) technically checking country for whether they already have a list (wow if they did that would make some thing very much easier) (2) going to project if it exists) explaining what is happening (3) making a new list if necessary by copying over (4) inevitable idiosyncratic issue tidy up (5) cleaning main list and putting embedded no-wiki message - 'please do not add cemeteries here' (6) keeping a tab of what is cleaned up at a new death project sub page - cemetery inventory (7) returning activity to philosophy/tasmanian trains to keep a sane perspectivve on it all :( Satu Suro 01:10, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
