WikiProject Paintball News edit
  • The term "paintball gun" is no longer to be used in any article: please change this wherever you see it! We must use the term paintball marker at all times from here on out. Keep up the good work. RavenStorm, Lead Coordinator
  • It has been strongly suggested by fellow member Three ways round that we add references and sources to our articles and make this our priority for now, as expansion and addition of articles has been slow of late. Go find an unsourced article and get some good references! Together we can make the WikiProject Paintball more authentic and encyclopedic. RavenStorm, Lead Coordinator
Category News edit
  • The player positions pages have been renamed according to game type to be more accurate.
  • Two more subcategories have been created: Woodsball, and Speedball. If any new pages are created that are related to these, please use their respective category tags instead of ]. Thanks!
Priority Tasks edit
1. Find sources for all articles to remove original research issues. Resist the urge to simply enter new information based on your own playing experience (this applies especially to strategy and role based articles).
2. Pages about paintball markers, unless very notable and well sourced, should be either merged back into the main company's page - or a page detailing the company's series of products. Having a single page for each marker model is too unwieldly and yields a lot of stubs.
3. Top priority articles should reach at least C class.

Woodsball Rifleman and Scout

Chances are, If you're reading this section, you were directed here by my post on the Woodsball rifleman or Woodsball scout talk page. On the wikiproject home page, we are instructed to follow the example set by the marksman article. this page is very well written. I would like to see some of that reflected in the other position pages. If you have anything to add, please help. J-stan 16:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

"Adminship project"

Your project is your number one obstacle to becoming an admin, saying "Read about what Adminship is not. Apparently, being an admin is not a trophy or an entitlement. Screw that." is exactly the sort of thing that cause people to say things like:

  1. Oppose: Too concerned about becoming an admin, not a serious editor.

I suggest you request it's deletion (add {{db-user}} to the page), before it becomes an impenetrable obstacle to any RfA you ever have. Adminship is not a status symbol, and having that view makes a bad administrator. Sysops simply get a few extra tools, and the novelty soon wears off of them. If your goal is to become an admin, you should consider what you will do if you become a sysop. Take a look at Misplaced Pages:Successful adminship candidacies for what the community thinks an administrator should be. Prodego 01:34, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
