Neo (magazine)

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I notcied your contribution to Neo (magazine), great work! Just thought I'd let you know that "Japanese" links to a disambiguation article, and usually in articles, it is best that links go directly to other articles. In this case, to Japan, which I acheived using piping: [[Japan|Japanese]]. We are working on a project called Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links to try and fix up any links to dab pages. Good luck! --Commander Keane 12:02, August 30, 2005 (UTC)

UK newspaper stubs

[edit]

Stop posting the UK newspaper stub on newspapers outside the UK!!! FearÉIREANN\(caint) 00:13, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I thought those were Northern Ireland, I didn't see anything on them declaring them as ROI. I was sleepy at the time and I apologise if I missed that. 08:33, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

[edit]

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 9% for major edits and 21% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 68 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 13:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Psst

[edit]

I'm trying to build support for this nomination in its last few days. Please check out this page. Pass it along. Nudge nudge. -- evrik 20:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

K9 or K-9?

[edit]

Hm. Well, I personally think it should be K-9 properly speaking but in the absence of anything else... if you want to change it back, I'm not objecting any further. ---khaosworks (talkcontribs) 22:20, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll change it back for now, if we're proved wrong later then it can be easily rectified ^_^ GracieLizzie 10:12, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Graduation

[edit]

Congratualations! Did he do the jokes about terminal illness and fairy liquid? The JPStalk to me 16:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, he was amusing though. Much more entertaining than the vice chancellor who just rambled on about the Uni's acheviements in the last year. When I was on stage my Mam cheer out my name really loud so when I shook his hand he said "Well, your Mum's happy!" which made me giggle for some reason. GracieLizzie 16:29, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I know what you mean about the VC's speech. Sometimes the honorary recipients can be bloody boring and annoying too. Puttnam's always good - a nice bloke too. Seemed you had a nice day :) And to think, we've been a stone's throw from each other! The JPStalk to me 16:33, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The higher award speeches didn't last too long this year as they were only about six people getting them. Though it did tinge the end of the ceremony with a smidgin of sadness as the last one was recieved - I believe - posthumously. But all in all it was a really good day ^_^.

Bob Johnson

[edit]

Hello. As a Wikipedian from Tyne and Wear, you might be interested in voting keep at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bob Johnson (weatherman). The article is in better shape now. The JPStalk to me 21:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suzie Costello

[edit]

The promotional material was probably just to hype up Indira Varma (who's all look-she-starred-on-HBO) and to conceal the fact that Suzie dies in the first episode. The real question is whether there is any more information about Suzie that deserves more than a stub or whether there is likely to be. Since she's dead, it doesn't look that way.

Now, if she comes back... then there's an argument for restoring it (and hey, given that she's involved with a resurrection glove, there's at least a couple of ways I can think of to bring her back, so I wouldn't count Suzie out just yet). But as it is, all the info we know is in Everything Changes. Do note that the Suzie Costello article was tagged for deletion until I changed it to a redirect; at least this way the history is preserved and visible and easily changed back to an article without the need for admin intervention if it is warranted in future. --khaosworks (talkcontribs) 13:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay. I reckon she could come back too actually, after all they kept her body. --GracieLizzie 13:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Problem image

[edit]

The image you added to Eve Myles violates WP:FUC and even assuming it didn't, you forgot to add a mandatory detailed fair-use rationale justifying its use. --Yamla 18:58, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. --GracieLizzie 19:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recent edit to Wormholes in fiction

[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your recent edit to Wormholes in fiction. Your edit included one or more links to the page British, which is a disambiguation page. This type of page is intended to direct users to more specific topics. Ordinarily we try to avoid creating links to disambiguation pages, since it is preferable to link directly to the specific topic relevant to the context. You can help Wikipedia by revising the links you added to Wormholes in fiction to refer directly to the most relevant topic.

Article expansion on WikiMoon

[edit]

Can you expand the plot section to the A Mysterious New Senshi! Sailor Pluto Appears article on WikiMoon? Angie Y. 17:54, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I might give it a go tomorrow. Feel free to ask any questions on my Talk Page on WikiMoon.--GracieLizzie 23:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

would this be a good link for the List of Sailor Moon Locations page? http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/List_of_Sailor_Moon_locations http://www.geocities.com/lunararchivist/mystplan.html It's a little old but it talks about the places in the solar system that are based on real space locations. Would that be of good use? Neptunekh 05:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Luna Archivist's work is usually quite good. So yes I thinks so, however some things in the Sailor Moon world may be named after things, but aren't supposed to be the same thing - the Tau Galaxy in Sailor Moon is a Galaxy for example, not a star system like Tau Ceti. --GracieLizzie 15:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimoon Episode summary add-on

[edit]

Can you add the summary to Terrifying Illusion! Ami All Alone (aka Lonely Amy)? :) Angie Y. 20:19, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking on my Behalf

[edit]

Hi GracieLizzie. You seem like a very nice person. You probaly know I was kicked off of Wikimoon because I acted acted badly. Well I did. But I've learned from my mistake. I would like to make a fresh new start to the new year and maybe you could talk to WikiSysop and maybe ask him to consider and think about letting come back sometime in the new year on WikiMoon. I know it's asking alot but I just want to let you know I'm sorry for what I did. I have asperger's symdrome. It's no excuse but I have trouble with social skills. Anyway, I hope you have a Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year! Neptunekh 23:43, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiMoon unblock

[edit]

Could you unblock me from WikiMoon? Angie Y. 19:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I can't just go unblocking people without permission from the other Sysops... especially the head Sysop, you'll have to try contacting them and if it is okay with them they'll unblock you. --GracieLizzie 20:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What did I do to get blocked in the first place? Angie Y. 01:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, in fact I can't see you on the blocked username list so I am a little confused. Unless you've been IP Blocked. --GracieLizzie 11:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Warriors of Legend

[edit]

Hi, Thanks for your very positive comments on this AfD. I just stumbled across the article and generally feel that very little self-published stuff should be on Wiki, so I AfD'd it. But there's far less notable and far worse articles around and if a vote or two to keep appeared I'd certainly think about withdrawing the AfD. Pleclech 23:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your thoughts I really appreciate you telling me this, I might consider changing my comments to a keep but I am slightly worried I'd be being biased. --GracieLizzie 23:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem — I had completely forgotten about that might-have-been myself, so thanks for finding it! (I've fixed the citation on Nelvana too.) —Josiah Rowe (talkcontribs) 01:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Tyne and Wear

[edit]

Hi there, I'm currently considering making a wikiproject called Wikipedia:WikiProject Tyne and Wear and I'm just wondering if you would be interested in joining if and when I'ts created as I noticed from a user category you live in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. It would be all about improving and creating wikipedia articles relating to Tyne and Wear. If you have any questions, comments or would like to show interest then please tell me on my talk page and if you know any other users who maybe interested in joining please feel free to tell them as it will need a few members in order to make it run smoothly. I will also be willing to create the project page and templates etc if there are enough active members. Thanks. TellyaddictEditor review! 15:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:Suziecostello.jpg

[edit]
Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Suziecostello.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 16:38, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American Dragon: Jake Long Episodes in Italics

[edit]

If you do have the time, could you do the same to the other pages that may or may not have episode titles in quotes. I did not realize that this was a policy of Wikipedia and there are numerous pages that branch off from the main article that have episode titles in italics. Thanks!

Spoiled Brat

[edit]

You're being really insensitive on the spoiled brat page, categorising children from decent, law- abiding, loving homes as spoiled? I'm not spoiled but I find this really offensive that an encylopedia has a genuine article for "spoiled" children, have you ever been called it? Do you know how offensive it is? It's as bad as any racist or sexist word, it implies that your character has been ruined just because your parents love you.

It should be being shown up as an insult and used by the poor and weak to insult those children with something in them, who know what's theres and know what they want, when they want it and that they'll have it, it's called determination not being "spoiled".

BOV1993 12:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That page is mostly based on the "spoiled brat" characters in fictional works. Not as much on real life, don't take it so personally. And besides the same could be said of you on the same talk page when you bad-mouth "poor cocky" people (I assume you mean chavs). --GracieLizzie 12:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Thanks for the Spanish Torchwood article! Can I ask a favor?

[edit]

Hey, you're welcome :P , I love Spanish :P .. Okay, I added the links, however, I am only learning Spanish 1 right now (Spanish 2 this August), so I do not know what spin off is in Spanish, but I did add a see also section for both, where there are links to each other.. Anyway, I really appreciate your thanks-this gives me incentive to create more Spanish language articles of the current English ones :) .. In the coming days, though, I will try to add some stuff to the Torchwood article.. Have a nice day! And thank you! :P Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 17:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I also created the List of Torchwood episodes in Spanish.. Any suggestions? :P Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 18:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for understanding :) .. Anyway I've started creating some of the Torchwood episode articles in Spanish... Also, what do you think about flags in articles? Illyria05 (Talk  Contributions) 00:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The senshi bios pages

[edit]

I was just thinking you could add the senshi's birthstones on their bio pages on WIkipedia and Wikimoon. Like for example, Ami's birthstone is a Sapphire. It's just a suggestion. Think about it and let me know. Neptunekh 20:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reverse the polarity

[edit]

Hi. See "reverse the polarity" for the full list. It apparently was said more than once as such, but not during Pertwee's original run. (There was also a filk called "Reverse the Polarity", which I once heard Pertwee sing; but that's neither here nor there.) Still, I think your edit works. :) -- Karen | Talk | contribs 23:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question about

Sailor Jupiter's attacks in the Live Action:
  1. Unnamed attack - Sailor Jupiter used another attack which was not
named on screen, in which she used her Sailor Star Tambourine to send
star-shaped energy toward her target.
  1. Unnamed attack - Sailor Jupiter used another attack which was not
named on screen, in which she struck the ground, sending lines of
green
energy toward her targets; it was similar to Sailor Uranus' World
Shaking attack. 

Do you know which acts these attacks appeared in? I got the info

Regarding this image: I think you're supposed to specify the source URL to dissuade people from tagging it for deletion. Additionally, it seems to have uploaded with a fair use query tag, so you'll need to respond to that. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 20:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading the notice correctly, you need to respond by adding

{{Replaceable fair use disputed | Your reason why a free replacement is not available}}

stipulating why there's no free replacement. I think this should be as simple as "All such publicity photos of the cast of television series Torchwood are copyright the BBC" or something similar. Quite honestly, I'm not sure how it got tagged in the first place, given there was no edit history beyond the initial upload. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 21:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Bratzlogo.jpg

[edit]
Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Bratzlogo.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:08, 13 September 2007 (UTC).

I have nominated List of creatures in Primeval, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of creatures in Primeval. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Torchwood - Captain John

[edit]

Of course he should be under 'H' as soon as there is a valid source for his surname. The only reason he's in the list at present is that he's been pre-announced, but without much detail. If you have a reference (e.g. BBC, not a blog), please feel free to add it. --Rodhullandemu (please reply here - contribs) 23:23, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AiYoriAoshi 11.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:AiYoriAoshi 11.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 14:47, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

[edit]

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

I have nominated List of creatures in Primeval, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of creatures in Primeval (2nd nomination).

The article Anomaly (Primeval) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnotable fictional phenomon. Fails WP:N and WP:WAF. No significant coverage in any reliable, third-party sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Unreferenced BLPs

[edit]

Hello GracieLizzie! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 2 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Non-free rationale for File:Sokorarefugees.jpg

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue I — July 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

Okay–ooh. New teeth newsletter. That's weird...

Hello!

Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.
For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.
I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....

Big Spike in Productivity

During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.
  1. Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom", "73 Yards", and "The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA.
  2. 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status.
  3. The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check.
  4. Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.

Proposals to the WikiProject

A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows:
  1. The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
  2. The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
  3. Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
  4. An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR.
  5. Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
  6. The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates.

If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion.

Discussions of Note

A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.


There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.


A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.
