User talk:HereToHelp/Bureaucracy and WikiProjects don’t write articles

Tropical cyclones? Cricket? WP:MILHIST is churning out FAs faster than both of those put together! ;-) Kirill Lokshin 01:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Now that is what a WikiProject should be!--HereToHelp 23:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Good essay, I agree with most of what you say. Although I do think a WikiProject can be "inactive" and still be good. Sometimes a WikiProject comes about to set up some advice, guidelines, and point out useful tools, and thus doesn't always require updating or constant discussion. However these are also somewhat rare situations. -- Ned Scott 02:12, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but if the advice is faulty or out of date, it can actually be worse. Plus, it deludes users in to thinking the project is still active.--HereToHelp 23:10, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Only if such advice is dated. Most of our policies and guidelines don't require lots of maintenance and stay true year after year, and good WikiProject advice and guideline pages are much the same. -- Ned Scott 23:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * What if it incomplete, confusing, or inaccurate?--HereToHelp 23:42, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
