Mixco Viejo listed as WP Middle Ages
I'm currently working on the Mixco Viejo article, about an archaeological site in Guatemala. I notice that someone has applied the Wikiproject Middle Ages banner on the talk page. Any objections to me removing it - it surely cannot be relevant here? Simon Burchell (talk) 08:45, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't think I've ever seen anyone interpret "middle ages" that broadly. No objections here. Adam Bishop (talk) 08:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, duly removed. Simon Burchell (talk) 14:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Germanic peoples
There is a "discussion" on Talk:Germanic peoples about a the includeability of a genetics section. The reasons or excuses offered on the talk page for inclusion of this are totally unconvincing, and it comes across as an embarrassingly Nazi-esque attempt to provide a modern origo gentis for a much beloved 18th century ethno-linguistic construction.

Albigensian Crusade
Article needs to be written from the secondary sources rather than the primary ones. Apart from this, it's not bad. I wondered if anyone here had the Sumption book to hand. I've got Montaillou, but it is tangential since Leroy Ladurie's archive research was based on the 14th century, when the Crusade was over (although the Cathars seem to have hung on).

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:00, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Barnet peer review
I have rewritten the Battle of Barnet and plan to nominate it for Featured Article. As the battle is part of the Wars of the Roses, a series of conflicts that occured in medieval England, I presume the project would be interested in the article. I invite all to read it and leave comments and suggestions at Peer review/Battle of Barnet/archive1. Thank you. Jappalang (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Peer review for Battle of Bosworth Field now open
Hi all. This is the battle that ended the Middle Ages for England (or so the Tudor historians claim...). I have greatly expanded the article and would appreciate comments and critiques at Peer review/Battle of Bosworth Field/archive1. Could the article's class and importance be assessed as well? Thank you all. Jappalang (talk) 08:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Reassessment of Merseburg Incantations
I have done a GA Reassessment of Merseburg Incantations as part of the GA Sweeps project. I have found the article to be fine except for the lack of references in a couple of sections.

Classical vs. Medieval Japan
The Heian period, despite overlapping chronologically with the Middle Ages in Europe is considered to be the "last division of classical Japanese history", as it says in the article. I do not believe it should have an info box from this project on it. Thoughts? Franzeska (talk) 20:34, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG PLACE. Please direct me to somewhere more suitable. This article - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86lfric_Puttoc - is excellent, and is much better than the stub class it has been rated as by several projects. There is just one unsourced comment. I lack knowledge and books to provide a source. The article could probably go to FAC after this source has been found, and can come off back-logs. Kind regards 87.113.86.207 (talk) 21:36, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, it's no where ready for FAC. There is little background context that tells someone unfamiliar with the time period or subject what is going on. Ealdgyth - Talk 22:06, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * That's fine. Look at some of the math articles - inpenetrable to many people.  ut, ignoring FAC for the moment, the article is listed at a back log for lack of sourcing, and has been there for ages.  I'm sure someone here will have a great source, and could thus rescue that article from a soure backlog list. 87.113.86.207 (talk) 00:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

GA reassessment of Music of the Trecento
I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found a large number of concerns with the referencing which you can see at Talk:Music of the Trecento/GA1. I have de-listed the article. You may challenge this decision at WP:GAR or make improvements and submit for review at WP:GAN. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 20:44, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
