 * Sure, mate. I'd be glad to help out, as I already do work on abandoned articles . Best, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 19:16, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you have any suggestion for how the project should be run? Thanks again :) Uamaol (talk) 19:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I think we need to remove the complicated block claim system and labor-intensive adoption process and streamline everything else. Probably best to find a way to focus on automatically generated lists. It looks like Dusty articles is the only one that is currently being maintained. ~Kvng (talk) 17:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I know it's been 6+ months, but can you possible list your proposals. So that they can discussed and planned. Thanks. Uamaol (talk) 19:37, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Proposal: Fix WP:DUSTY and encourage drive-by improvements of articles flagged there. is a good summary of the kinds of edits we want to see.
 * I don't think we will have enough activity on this project to need to reserve articles in blocks as per . I don't expect we will have the resources to do adoptions; This can be somewhat covered by adding abandoned articles to WikiProjects and linking them to other articles.
 * I would have taken more initiative on getting this rolling if we had a working WP:DUSTY and efforts by me and others to get it revived have been unsuccessful. ~Kvng (talk) 20:41, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for your swift reply. I asked about similar a while back on IRC and was suggested WP:Dusty, but they seemed flabbergasted that it was discontinued. It seemed that even a few admins once used it, I assume for similar to what we are attempting to do. I am attempting to try and figure out why however. Uamaol (talk) 02:57, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Meanwhile, a good source for articles that have likely been abandoned exists in our parent WikiProject and specifically the oldest subcategories of Category:Orphaned articles. ~Kvng (talk) 00:08, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
