    Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

    Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Wow. New domain blacklisted. MER-C 04:11, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, blogspot spamming. Maybe filmznews.in has to go on XLinkBot, if the bots detect the redirect to that, it will still be reverted. --Dirk Beetstra T C 05:02, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Deleted the notice I was giving him as I was going over his edits. Looks like SEO spamming with a coi. --

    Looks like some of the dental links are ok - looking closer... Just the one, mouthhealthy.org, which is run by the ADA. --

    Good tools to find host, adsense, etc?

    The one I was using is no more. What are others using these days? --

    Adsense and google analytics can be found by looking at the page source. Most of the other stuff I can get from command line tools. MER-C 02:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
