 * Discussion about the future of the Valued Pictures process: After closing 17 nominations, Makeemlighter opened a discussion regarding the future of the project, which has seen little participation, with around three regulars.

 * Updating Arbitration policy: The latest draft is here with discussion of the draft here.
 * RfC: Regarding the use of italics in article titles and if their use should be dictated by a single guideline, or decided by each individual WikiProject
