WikiProject Espionage: Revival
I have decided to "revive" this WikiProject since the "Founder" has been AWOL for 11 months. It's time for progress which is very slowly happening at this stage. I have asked at the right places for help and support to improve this WikiProject to have it looking like a proper WikiProject that has been around for much longer. At the moment we need:


 * Discussion page auto-archived by a bot (Possibly Mizabot or similar).
 * Assessment table for an example for articles which will include "C-Class" assessment of articles.
 * Assessment table which counts the articles that have been assessed or unassessed by the WikiProject Espionage.
 * Some form of structure within the members who have signed up, for example Co-Ordinators, etc.
 * Have Wikipedia 1.0 release.
 * Any miscellaneous information that may come up in setting up WikiProject Espionage.

WikiBreak
WikiProject Espionage,

I will be having a holiday between March 1st and July 14th, 2011. I will have free access to the Internet while away. There will be times where I will be busy and times where I will check for any messages left on my userpage or any on here. We'll continue with the progression of this WikiProject when I return.

 * It's good to see a couple more Wikipedia users have signed up while I've been away. Hope things will get back to normal on Wikipedia when I'm back home soon! Adamdaley (talk) 07:26, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

Feedback and Ideas for WikiProject Espionage
Give feedback and ideas for WikiProject Espionage to go forward as a WikiProject. Adamdaley (talk) 07:14, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Align the Project with WP:MILHIST? Much of espionage is military, so I think it's fitting that WP:SPY comes under WP:MILHIST. This allows for increased cooperation and to advertise the Project.

Set goals. We need to set up a set of goals like WP:MILHIST, so the participants have something to work towards. Sp33dyphil "Ad astra" 02:20, 25 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I know one of the MilHist coordinators, and I'll talk to him about how such a merge would work, if you're interested. My guess is that you'd become a task force. You'll have access to their resources, which are substantial, but you might lose some autonomy in the process.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  08:11, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm known to the Australian WikiProject of Military History especially User:AustralianRupert. I've worked on some of his articles. Adamdaley (talk) 10:35, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Portal on Intelligence
Hi there. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history, the thread would be of interest to you.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  19:27, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Welcome
This is a new effort by me for a WikiProject...please come to help out if you are interested. Cheers, writers-block-14♠(talk) 21:16, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Intelligence task force
Perhaps the projects should be merged? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 09:53, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Inactive
I've marked this wikiproject as inactive (no activity other than that of its creator, who became inactive shortly after creating this project in May 2010). I'd suggest that the interested editors join the MILHIST task force listed above, as it is more widely known, and at least a little more active. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 19:47, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Espionage articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Espionage articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

WikiProject Esponiage
I have added my username to the list of members and made it semi-active. Hope we can rebuild this WikiProject back up again. Adamdaley (talk) 04:00, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Merger proposal with WikiProject Intelligence
Dear WikiProject Espionage,

I have been in discussion with the WikiProject Council over concerns of WikiProject Espionage, WikiProject Intelligence and WikiProject Military Intelligence. I have suggested that WikiProject Military Intelligence will stay with the WikiProject Military History since Military History as a WikiProject is well established by itself.

My proposal is WikiProject Espionage and WikiProject Intelligence to be merged as one WikiProject, keeping the WikiProject Espionage name and userbox. I've suggested that WikiProject Intelligence could possibly help fill holes with WikiProject Espionage. Unfortunately, the founder of WikiProject Espionage has not been actively contributing since May 5, 2010. Therefore I've suggested if this "merger" does go ahead that there should be some "structure" of members such as "Co-ordinators" then the more users who join can become normal users or anything else built from scratch. You can see my discussion with the WikiProject Council by going to the talkpage on their main page. Feedback would be appreciated there to keep all of the discussion at one place. Once again feedback would be appreciated. Adamdaley (talk) 18:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
