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. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:58, 28 February 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 display=none 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.

Thanks. — Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 09:51, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Yacht racing

Does the article about yacht racing includes races of boats without sails? Or is this race only about types of sailed ships? I ask this because I want to know which could be the best translation into spanish:

• Carrera de vela - Would be like "sail racing" or "race of sail boats"
• Carrera de botes - More general, inapropiate due this
• Carrera de yates - Yachts does not always use sails to thrust (could be motored)

The problem is that this article about yacht racing does not mention clearly if a yacht race is necesarily held only with sail boats or can be held with any other kind of yacht (with or without a sail). Yes, a yacht can have or not a sail, but the article only talks about sailed ships, so if it´s only about sailed boats, maybe the name in the article in english is not the adequate one. So what would be the correct addressment? - Damërung ^{...ÏìíÏ...}_{_Ξ_} . --  18:21, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

2) a list of all the community sailing centers - I know boston, milwakee, and san fransico have community sailing. but are there others? 66.227.133.46 (talk) 00:12, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

GAN backlog reduction - Sports and recreation

As you may know, we currently have 400 good article nominations, with a large number of them being in the sports and recreation section. As such, the waiting time for this is especially long, much longer than it should be. As a result of this, I am asking each sports-related WikiProject to review two or three of these nominations. If this is abided by, then the backlog should be cleared quite quickly. Some projects nominate a lot but don't review, or vice-versa, and following this should help to provide a balance and make the waiting time much smaller so that our articles can actually get reviewed!

You have a GA!

FYI. The 2009 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships passed GA on 12 October. Chris (talk) 03:16, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind

Had some time on my hands and after you added the project tag to J/80 I decided to help out a bit and tidy up the project page, add some useful stuff and I created a userbox for the project :) - Happysailor ^(Talk) 16:09, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Sailing faster than the wind

I've written a draft new article on sailing faster than the wind and I'd appreciate comments before moving it out of my user area and into the main article area.--Gautier lebon (talk) 16:43, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

New article needs an expert

I came across this article during a new page patrol. I have no idea what to make of it, as I have no expertise in the field of Yachting. This appears to be a copy-paste from some source material regarding the introduction of a 35' class to the Fastnet race. Is such a development significant in the history of yacht racing in general, or the Fastnet race in particular? I don't know whether to merge and redirect or simply nominate for deletion. Opinions from anyone more knowledgeable in the field are most welcome! WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:33, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
