Wikipedia:WikiProject Seattle Mariners/Newsletter/September 2008

Great First Month!

While the project experienced it's first month and many growing pains, we accomplished many, many things. These include:

• Getting 8 total members.
• Getting articles by quality statistics running.
• Getting most Mariner-related articles tagged with the class and importance perameters.
• Getting a bot to deliver the newsletter.

Goals

1. Please sign up for a job, we really need people's specialties. It also let's me know you will be active. There is a list of jobs on the Main Project Page. If you could do one and are willing, please sign you usrername next to an unfinshed one. When a job is complete, use the <s> tag.
2. Get another 5 users.

And you can always...

• Help tweak the main page to make it unique. If you know a good programmer, please ask for their help on it.
• Be helpful!

Last Month's Goals

This is the paragraph where we assess what goals we completed in the last month. Let's see how we did:

1. Our number one priority is to recruit people for the project. I would like to have at least 4 others come September. Just use {{WP MARINERS INVITE}}.(11 others, WOW)
2. We need to make several extra departments, as well as replacing red link templates with content. Take a look at some of the other Baseball sub-WikiProjects if you need help. You can always copy, paste, and tweak from there.(2 departments, though we could use some members and we can improve)
3. We need to assign people jobs. Someone to help me create the newsletter monthly, and someone (or somebot) to deliver it on time. Someone to create templates, someone to create an evaluation plan, someone to create departments and make pages where there are red links, and then finally, a LOT of people to just plain edit M's articles.(Nope.)
4. Lastly, one other thing we really need to do is to create a barnstar to motivate people to work hard.(User:Angel caboodle took care of that.)

Newsletter Needs Your Help!

Please help write the Newsletter. We could use some users to do their own coulumns about anything related to this. A talk-page tagger might write a section about what pages are tagged, and what his/her expectations are. Contact my talk page to join and for information.
