; Issue of the Month |
|||
Despite it being the lead news article of last month, there is still help required in the assessing of articles and the migrating of comments. [[User:Lar|Lar]] is willing to provide assistance to those unsure how to do this. |
|||
; Beatles News |
|||
* The Beatles in the news. Suggestions: [http://www.whatgoeson.com/] [http://beatle.wordpress.com/] |
|||
; Project News |
|||
* [[The Beatles]] article, the "[[Flagship]]" of the Project, is currently under review with regard to its [[Wikipedia:Featured Article|Featured Article]] status. It is hoped that the review will identify those areas that need some(/lots of) remedial work, and that the Project participants and those editors who are involved in the the FA admin pages to can work together to "save" the status of the article. |
|||
** At the moment there is some discussion as to why it has been listed, and what may be needed to help it retain its FA status. It may well be that some work is going to be required in formulating a plan of action, and then some more in achieving those aims. |
|||
**The FA status is obviously quite important to the Project, and it would be appreciated if participants are able to provide assistance in keeping the article up to standard. The editors would be grateful if those persons receiving this Newsletter could spare some of their time, energy and brainpower in keeping this jewel in our crown in its proper place. Please go to [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/The Beatles]] and get involved! Thank you. |
|||
; Notable updates |
|||
* The compilation album ''[[The Beatles 1962-1966]]'' has been [[Wikipedia:WikiProject The Beatles#Adopt an article|adopted]] by [[User:PhattyFatt|PhattyFatt]]. |
|||
* Four new articles have been listed in the [[WP:TBL|Project Log]] since [[1 July]]: |
|||

**[[Radha Krsna Temple]], the [[International Society for Krishna Consciousness|ISKCON]] headquarters and album ([[User:Simon123|Simon123]], [[User:Kingboyk|Kingboyk]]) |

|||
**[[Wings Over Europe Tour]], the [[Wings (band)|Wings]] concert tour in Europe ([[User:Danthemankhan|Danthemankhan]]) |
|||
* Two Beatles related articles, [[The Beatles trivia]] [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Beatles trivia|[deletion debate]]] and [[George Smith (John Lennon)]] [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George Smith (John Lennon)|[deletion debate]]], were nominated for deletion. Both were kept on the basis that no consensus was reached. |

Welcome to Novels
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often refered to as "Novels".
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject_Novels_announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{User WikiProject Novels}}. - The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 11:26, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Help With 'Wikipeda Films' Code
How do I put that code on the 'Wikipedia Films' WikiProject in my user page? I've tried and tried, but for some reason, the rest work, but it doesn't. --Dean Rivers 00:21, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 12:33, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Chess
Hello Ben, I can't play your strange chess games, but if you would like, youcould check out the work I have done on starting the Unknown Prophets article. It is by no means done, and I don't have any experience creating articles so it isn't what it could be.
