| For all the great work you are doing at WP:VA/E identifying redundancies and redirects. The more of these non-contentious removals we identify, the less contentious this process will be in the long-run. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 23:41, 9 July 2013 (UTC) |
Removal of Piedmont at VA/E
FYI, you seem to have proposed its removal three or four times. I'm not sure if that was intentional, or if you meant to propose removal of something else pbp 16:40, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Something happened when copying the proposals. I've fixed them. --V3n0M93 (talk) 18:23, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Regions proposal
On August 1st the Regions proposal will be 15 days old. I think at that point we should feel free to move forward with the proposal (assuming that the current support holds). I was thinking that we could approach this with not an add, remove or swap thread, but with Keep threads for only those articles that are contested keeps. Such as:
Keep New York
- Supports
- Opposes
- Discussion
If an article fails to earn 5 supports and 70% it will not be kept. Do you agree with moving forward on August 1st and do you have any suggestions for the process? GabeMc (talk|contribs) 20:10, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Sounds like a good idea. It'll be best if you post this on the project talk page, so the other editors can give their opinions. --V3n0M93 (talk) 20:30, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Done. GabeMc (talk|contribs) 20:36, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for creating all the proposals. Would you like me to remove the regions from Wikipedia:Vital articles/Expanded/Geography#Regions and country subdivisions, 272 that we've already decided not to keep? I thought this might be a good time to do a recount of the articles since we should be dropping below 10 000. Cobblet (talk) 19:01, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- I was thinking about waiting for the proposals to get voted and then replace the old list with the new one. There are some additions to the list, so even if we do a recount now, the count won't represent the actual numbers. --V3n0M93 (talk) 19:10, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- It's just that you're doing all the work :) I'm also a little worried that with all the additions we're proposing to History and Technology, people are going to protest that we're still over 10,000 articles. Cobblet (talk) 20:58, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- If you want you can remove the articles which are not on the keep list. I just think it is easier to just replace the list, then to check each article if it is removed or not. Even after the removal of the regions, we probably will still be above 10 000.--V3n0M93 (talk) 21:40, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
