Freedom

2025 is clearly against most freedoms. I was surprised when I read it. And taking away rights, is wrong. One party should be in charge for ever on both sides of the aisle and the presidency. is actually no different than what the Democrats are trying to do by bringing so many illegal people to vote so they never lose power. On the opening, it says Trump is part of it. That is not true. So why do you have his name on it? And if he’s not part of this. you stated that on a different page. I can now see why people are confused and blaming Trump for 2025. I am a conservative independent. And even most of these things cross or I think freedom is taken away. or decided on someone else. I think you owe it to Trump to clear this up once and for all and explain he is not part of 2025. Or your handing the election to the Democrats. 69.170.208.61 (talk) 16:19, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

Project revival

I've noticed that this project is listed as being "semi-active", which seems like a huge shame to me, since it is also arguably one of the most important Wikiprojects on the site (not denigrating other projects, just saying). I'm wondering:

(a) if people are still active

(b) if there are any administrative tasks that need doing (I'm not really interested in participating in arbitration discussions, which seem hugely important to this project, but beyond my mental/emotional capacity at this time, but would be happy to help maintain the project page, for example, or maybe even write periodic newsletters/updates on the status of the project)

(c) if anyone has any perspective on what is involved in Wikiproject administration/revival beyond what is available of Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide. For example, would it be bad project etiquette if I started cleaning up the main project page myself? Are there specific project heads that I should be in contact with, or is the structure more decentralized?

Anyway, hope to see this project revived one way or another. Spookyaki (talk) 22:56, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

I am not sure if I can help outside of saying that marking any project as inactive is bad because it can result in deletion of its assessment scheme (I complained about it in the VP a while back, to little progress). So I oppose marking this project as inactive.

I am interested in the topic of human rights and can participate in discussions here if pinged. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:46, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I have edited or created some articles on human rights related to China. I have also checked this WikiProject Human Rights listing to clean up articles. Maybe other seasoned editors can weight in on administrative tasks necessary to revive the project. Thank you. Path2space (talk) 02:35, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in this @Spookyaki. To your first question, I am somewhat active and edit semi-regularly, but rarely check this project anymore; though I would if it became more active (chicken and egg!). In fact, were it not for your ping I doubt I would have seen this discussion for quite some time -- so thank you. I'm afraid I can't offer any additional advice on your second and third questions beyond what the others have said so far. Warmly. Arcendeight (talk) 14:15, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, Spookyaki, for your initiative and your good questions. Here are my answers:

(a) I'm only semi-active, too, and haven't been active here for years.
(b) If one looks, one can always find some things to clean up; e.g. one could check why the first three topics on this page (such as #Footnotes) are empty and restore their content, if any, or remove the headlines. But since it seems there has been no collaboration in this project in the last four years (which i assume from the fact that there was no discussion in that time; only one of the topics - IHL and human wave attacks/cannon fodder - elicited a response in 2021) and there were no requests for any such work, it's questionable whether it's worth your time.
(c) As someone who hasn't been involved in reviving any WP (other than briefly WP:SLR last year) i can't add any perspective beyond the Guide. At least in theory, Wikipedia shouldn't have „specific project heads“, but it's good that you're circumspect. In this case, i see no reason to worry about that, since nobody has shown to assume such a role at least for four years, nor in the week since you asked here. I don't think it would be bad etiquette to clean up things here, but, as mentioned in my reply (b), it may not be worth your time.
Piotrus, it's nice to see you're still around. I disagree, though, with your statement: Marking projects as inactive is good and necessary. Inactive projects are a drain of commitment, time and - worse - of hope. Think of an editor who comes here with a problem (a human rights problem, which can be the most severe problems!) with the hope to find help here, only to find dead silence. For all i know, nobody may even have this project page on their watchlist anymore; i for one came here only because Spookyaki pinged me. ◅ Sebastian Helm 🗨 07:09, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Solitary confinement of women in the United States

Could some member or members of this WikiProject take a look at Solitary confinement of women in the United States? It kind of reads more like an essay or academic paper than encyclopedic article from the very first sentence. It's also been recently expanded quite a bit recently by a student editor participating in a WP:WEP course and the newly added content might need some assessing from some Wikipedians more experienced in dealing with this kind of subject. The discussions on the article's talk page seem a bit contentious despite mostly being a couple years old. Anyway, I'm asking about it here because this is one of WikiProjects whose banner is found on the article's talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:19, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
