London sub-district categories

I depopulated Category:Deptford, returning all articles to categorisation by London borough. I assume we are still minded to construct categorisation first by London borough and then use feature to create more granular categories? MRSC • Talk 19:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

That would be my impression - but consensus can change (lately, this page itself seems depopulated). (BTW: welcome back) Kbthompson (talk) 19:13, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Arsenal Stadium

Hello all. I'm reassessing the Arsenal Stadium article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I've added a few citation needed tags to the article and placed it on hold for seven days for improvements. At the end of the week, I'll make a decision about whether or not to delist the article. Nikki311 18:43, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Dates

People might be interested in reading the latest deus ex-machina about date linking ... WP:MOSDATE. Executive summary, they will now appear unlinked - be prepared to (a) standardise pages, and (b) defend your local date preference. HTH Kbthompson (talk) 14:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the "defend your local date preference", the Power Of The Cabal is on your side: "In June 2005, the Arbitration Committee ruled that when either of two styles such as 14 February or February 14 is acceptable, it is inappropriate for an editor to change an article from one style to another unless there is a substantial reason to do so. Edit warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If an article has been stable in a given style, it should not be converted without a style-independent reason. Where in doubt, defer to the style used by the first major contributor." – iridescent 15:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hampstead People

I din't ealise i already raised this a year ago but how about splitting off the notable people from Hampstead. See Talk:Hampstead. Simply south (talk) 16:55, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd be inclined to get it out of the main article one way or another – this is one of those lists that could grow forever. What it does need (wherever it ends up) is a clear geographic boundary; is it the NW3 postcode only, the former borough of Hampstead (which would artifically inflate the list by bringing Abbey Road and Primrose Hill into the remit) or the old village boundaries (which I'd venture to suggest hardly anyone knows)? If it does get split off, be prepared for an onslaught from the deletionists. – iridescent 17:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for London-related

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!
