Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-03-19/WikiProject report

Wow, a really good interview - the best since I'm following SIGNPOST. One of the main problems I have with the enwp Wikiprojects is that mostly they are dead and/or have only ~2-5 active users. I think we should start considering to remove (at enwp) many of these projects. mabdul 15:45, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for positive feedback, I really appreciated that it mights be inspiration for others too! :) --Chmee2 (talk) 20:19, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought this was a great interview, too. With regards to Mabdul's comment, however, I must protest that deleting less active Wikiprojects is not going to make them more active, just make it impossible for them to recover from what might otherwise be a temporary malaise.

 * Wikiprojects are also handy, I find, for collecting similar articles together and assessing them by quality and importance - it seems that most of the unassessed articles haven't been assigned to any wikiprojects. In a sense, they're categories with collaboration. Brammers (talk/c) 12:55, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
