| You are welcome to continue editing articles without ], but many editors recommend that you '''<span class="plainlinks"></span>'''. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits such as the ability to create articles. For a full outline and explanation of the benefits that come with creating an account, please see ]. If you edit without a username, your ] (65.93.15.213) is used to identify you instead. | |||
| In any case, I hope you enjoy editing here and being a ]! Please ] on talk pages using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>); this will automatically produce your IP address (or username if you're logged in) and the date.

| == Project overtagging? == | |||
| I wonder if you might be ] the ] article by adding it to the ] and ]. In any case, from my perspective, since you are not a member of those projects it seems presumptuous to add anything. It may be more constructive and less disruptive to use categories to improve how the article is organized into the project. <font color="#500000">]</font><font color="#005000">]</font> 15:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :No it should not be project overtagging, since the study of the cycles of the stars in ancient times is the basis on which astronomy grew from. And the cycles were studied to determine the correct time to plant. So, it would fall under history of science, astronomy and farming. ] (]) 05:14, 12 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :: Perhaps, but consider that it is a very minor article with very few other articles linking in to it. I am sure the stars were also used for navigation in ancient times (and still), so should we then also add it to the Projects that deals with navigation? The Project Ships and Project Transport among others? Birds also navigate by the stars, so let's add Project Birds.. | |||
| :: Where will it stop? | |||
| :: The imperfect rule of thumb is to go to the main article(s) related to the WikiProject and check what LinksHere. If an article is not linking to it then it is probably not under the scope of the Project. Of course that can change if an article gets more developped. ] (]) 06:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::This specific article covers the relationship between the stars and the equinox and solstices, which I would think, is where astronomy and astrology meet. And it deals with it in a historical context. I do see the point you're getting at. And that's why I only added these particular tags, instead of all possible WPPs. ] (]) 06:09, 12 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :::: The specific article also mentions 'medieval', 'Persians', 'kabbalistic', and so on.. | |||
| :::: It is a minor article, so it should only be put under the Project that directly covers it, in this case that is clearly 'Astrology', as we can see from the page title already. | |||
| :::: Why don't you let the members of these various Projects decide which articles they want to take under their scope? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 06:18, 12 July 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| == Please use edit summaries == | |||
| I don't want to pile on but I noticed you rarely provide an edit summary with your edits. It improves collaboration on the project if you let your colleagues know what and why you are making edits and the edit summary is one of the only ways you can communicate that.
