Amplifying Appalachia Edit-a-thon, entire month of March 2023

Hi everyone,

Some of you might have participated in previous years' events, which have yielded a ton of improved Appalachian content on Wikipedia.

For 2023, folks from WVU libraries and beyond are holding an asynchronous editing event for the entire month of March (1-31)!

Our Edit-a-thon is focused on amplifying the stories and figures of under-represented Appalachian artists, writers, and other creators, particularly womxn, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other disenfranchised communities. We have been lucky enough to work with Art+Feminism and our event is held under that umbrella!

If you want to participate, please sign up through this link: https://artandfeminism.org/edit_a_thon/amplifying-appalachia-2023-edit-a-thon/ ... which will take you to our event dashboard, which has some starting points for pages that need some attention (under construction as of 2/4/2022). The password to join is "app23" (no quotation marks). Rhizomesandranch (talk) 17:04, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Discussion at Wikipedia:Content assessment

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 07:19, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

I’ve got another article for ya…

Tornado outbreak sequence of May 19–27, 2024; the outbreak caused a squall line that impacted the entire state of West Virginia and spawned at least one tornado in the state. Added tag for WikiProject:West Virginia because of the widespread impacts this caused; especially to the southern part of the state. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 18:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

The Tornado outbreak sequence of May 19–27, 2024 has been Nominated for Deletion

And they closed as keep. I think we can archive this section. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 04:07, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Idea to revive the KYOVA project (partly)

I have noticed that this project has been defunct for quite a few years now. And I have an idea on how to partially revive this project.

We should convert this into a task force under WP:WV. Such as the “Huntington-Charleston Metro Valley Task Force”; its scope would be any West Virginia County that is within the Huntington-Charleston combined statistical area.

The Kentucky counties already fall under the Eastern Mountain coalfields task force under WP:Kentucky.

I don’t know about what the Ohio counties should be under. Probably just directly part of WP:OHIO?
