Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Americas

United States R US
FYI: This is a copy of a thread that I started at: Wikipedia:WikiProject United States.

I'm proposing the above as preferred terms of reference as a friend from the UK and based on the following:
 * 1) Enemies of the United States typically refer to the nation as America.
 * 2) The United States only constitutes one of many countries in the Americas and only about one third of the total population.
 * 3) Amerigo Vespucci was and explorer of South America and the West Indies.
 * 4) Hawaii is arguably better defined as constituting a part of the United States rather than as representing a part of America.
 * 5) The primary reference to the country and is the United States. This is fairly well represented through many of the categories and articles connected to Category:Government in the United States and I would personally propose that this reference may be beneficially applied in other topics as per support from WP:UCRN.
 * 6) The term "United States" conveys a message of unity in specific ownership of a single nation while 50 countries across two continents share the roots of "American" terminologies.

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon
 Hello WikiProject Americas:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! Grnrchst (talk) 14:05, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
