  • EngineerScotty 04:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC). I'm still a beer drinker at heart (beer has the distinct advantage of not costing USD $30--or orders of magnitude more--for a good bottle), but there's a lot of grapes to harvest on this subject. I'll focus mainly on Oregon wine, but probably (definitely) will have lots of suggestions. And since I probably couldn't distinguish a bottle of Grand cru Burgundy from two buck chuck without reading at the bottle :), I'll bring a different (and possibly) skeptical perspective to the party.

[edit] Tasks

This list is transcluded from the tasks page, to edit this section click here.

Here are some tasks you can do for WikiProject Wine:

view • edit • discuss • history • watch

[edit] Articles for deletion

Please add below any articles, categories, images or templates that have been proposed for deletion. Edit full page

[edit] Wine related AfDs and MfDs

[edit] Other deletion proposals

Please list deletions, other than AfDs and MfDs in the appropriate section below.

[edit] Proposed deletions

[edit] Speedy deletions

[edit] Articles proposed for merging

[edit] Categories for discussion

Could the category Category:Wineries by country (with 18 countries) include the pages in Category:Wine producers which only has 4 countries, and seems to be a duplicate category as some (all?) are Wineries? Hugo999 (talk) 12:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Shouldn't that be the other way round? A winery is specific type of wine producer. I wouldn't object to merging both categories into wine producers. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Articles to translate from other Wikis

[edit] Volunteer translators

  • Catalan: User:MIckStephenson - Probably not much call for it, but I could use the practice!
  • Danish: User:Nwinther - I don't dabble around too much on danish wikipedia, but I'll gladly chip in when needed.
  • French:
User:Mroconnell - You should send me requests without hesitation and I'll do what I can.
User:scyrene - I have a degree in French, and will happily translate any articles sent to me. I will have a go at Portuguese and Catalan too (Spanish and Italian at a push), but defer to other users' expertise which no doubt exceeds my own.
  • German:
User:Gotox
User:Tomas_e
  • Hungarian: User:Balazs.varadi - Again, might not be of huge interest, but I am ready to pitch in.
  • Italian:
User:LAMM707 - Hope I can be of help.
User:Ian Spackman - no expert in the language or in the wine, but there are billions of articles to translate and I offer my services as the first of the millions of collaboraters LAMM707 will need! Now you can do me a good turn in advance of those translations. The weekend after next I shall be in the Val Cordera, just north of Lake Como. What should I make absolutely sure of drinking?
User:alphac Who better than an Italian from Asti could help in adding info to the Italian wines? :-D
  • Spanish:
User:Charleenmerced
User:MIckStephenson - happy to act as backup here
BodegasAmbite - Willing and eager to translate articles from Spanish into English :)
