[edit] Project directory

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 00:09, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Day Awards

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 17:53, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notice of List articles

Page(s) related to this project have been created and/or added to one of the Wikipedia:Contents subpages (not by me).

• List of basic health topics
• List of basic exercise topics
• List of basic health science topics

This note is to let you know, so that experts in the field can expand them and check them for accuracy, and so that they can be added to any watchlists/tasklists, and have any appropriate project banners added, etc. Thanks. --Quiddity 19:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Vital articles

Any editor with a broad knowledge of health is invited to take a look at Wikipedia:Vital articles and offer suggestions on how to improve the list of 1000 vital Wikipedia articles, as well as on the process of choosing them. It suffers from a severe lack of attention and POV editing. — goethean ॐ 02:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rename proposal for the lists of basic topics

This project's subject has a page in the set of Lists of basic topics.

See the proposal at the Village pump to change the names of all those pages.

[edit] Request for Comment: Men who have sex with men

See debate at Talk:Men who have sex with men regarding people inside and outside the MSM demographic. Are transmen and women MSM? Are rape victims in prison? Hyacinth (talk) 22:20, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Health by country

There is a need for 'Health in Foo articles, where Foo is a country, to give an overview of a countries health. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:37, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hi all

Sorry I haven't been too responsive to efforts to revive. I am interested!

Wanted to at least let you know, we've been busy on some related subjects in Oregon. Look at Category:Public health in Oregon, and specifically the sub-category on controlled substances, if you're interested. -Pete (talk) 22:29, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Coordinators' working group

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 05:35, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Health benefits of the Açaí berry

In case anyone pays attention here, I felt this article was prudent to create given all the attention the topic has gotten in the media lately. There's plenty of reference material out there, I think, so whoever is interested, your help is appreciated. Equazcion •✗/C • 09:33, 4 Mar 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Article alerts

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} 09:13, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

You are subscribed to the alerts but don't display them. Remember to give a link for your members (or remove display=none) from the subscription banner)Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 01:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Urban legends about illegal drugs

Is Talk:Urban legends about illegal drugs within the scope of this project? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image FYI

Just an FYI, I don't know what level of coverage Wiki has on exercises and such, but in browsing a great Flickr source for free images (I was looking for sports stuff) I came across this album. Dunno if any of them would be helpful, but there are some Commons-license-able HQ images there if they can be. Staxringold _talk^contribs 18:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Overall benefit

I've tried to put Dance and health into suitable categories. It seems to me though that people split up physical and mental fitness into two separate categories and the concept that things like tai chi, dance, or martial arts could have overall psychological as well as physical health aspects doesn't seem to fit in well anywhere. Am I missing something out here? isn't there any concept of overall benefit anywhere? Dmcq (talk) 10:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

can

be used as the main image for this article and for the entire health and medicine categories and related articles ? (a template needs to be made for the latter)

Editors considering this will want to see the objections raised at WT:MED#Picture (will eventually be moved to WT:WikiProject Medicine/Archive 15). WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:50, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
