Still, this would all be sort of okay if your action was simple to undo. I have undone your edit, but the project remains dead. Every article in the project still continues to display a message on its talk page announcing the project is inactive (whether that has resulted in users removing assessments is going to take hours of work to determine). The table of assessment statistics has disappeared, and shows no signs of resurrecting. It is as though all that assessment work never happened. The project is now in shambles. Please undo the damage, and restore this project back to life. — ] (]) 21:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC) Still, this would all be sort of okay if your action was simple to undo.

:{{u|Epipelagic}} Hello I marked the project as inactive based on the overall editing activity of the members, not the amount of pages. At the time, many of the members we pretty much inactive editors. Some of them haven’t edited Misplaced Pages for months, others for years. Now that’s great news that new editors want to join. You marked the project as active again, so a bot should assess pages with the project banner. Also, I don’t believe you are an active member as you make it seem. If that were true, you would’ve undone my edit long ago. ] (]) 21:49, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing

Hi Jerm. On 25 October 2020, you closed down WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing with this edit by marking it as "inactive". You did not provide wider notification you were contemplating this draconic move. While the project was quiet at the time it most certainly should not have been closed down. There are over 2000 articles in the project, all identified and assessed. Maybe the project was quite at the time. That is not a reason to throw away all the assessment and categorising work. As it happens, I am the main contributor to over 100 articles belonging to this project. I have these articles listed on a page where I patrol them for activity and vandalism. I was certainly not at any point "inactive". Nor were other members "inactive", while new members have turned up, one of them querying whether they can restart the project under another name to fill the vacuum.

Still, this would all be sort of okay if your action was simple to undo. I have undone your edit, but the project remains dead. Every article in the project still continues to display a message on its talk page announcing the project is inactive (whether that has resulted in users removing assessments is going to take hours of work to determine). The table of assessment statistics has disappeared, and shows no signs of resurrecting. It is as though all that assessment work never happened. The project is now in shambles. Please undo the damage, and restore this project back to life. — Epipelagic (talk) 21:04, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
