Portal and question

Hi,

I have a request and a question :

World's Oldest People at Wikia

I am not sure if any of you are aware, but I started an Oldest People wiki at Wikia some time ago. Here is the link. As Misplaced Pages has limits to content, especially notability, this would be a great place to migrate any lost content, especially deleted WOP-realted articles, as well as biographical details of the lives of supercentenarians that are not considered notable enough for Misplaced Pages. This, along with the fact that at Wikia, you can create articles on non-notable supercentenarians, instead of listing them as sections like the bottom of this page. I made the wiki for those interested in going deeper into this topic. I just thought I would let everyone here know in case anyone is interested. — AMK152 23:48, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Misplaced Pages 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) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Please update the list.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.51.235.255 (talk) 11:55, 13 October 2014

WP:BLPN notice

I started a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Unverified_supercentenarians regarding two issues: is GRC the only basis we consider a RS for listing here? I think that's contrary to the general policy of using reliable sources but one could argue that any other claim falls under WP:FRINGE so I don't know. However that leaves the articles that GRC has not verified: should they be listed even though there are no reliable sources that support it? Should they kept if there are other reliable sources for it which means that GRC isn't the only basis for the claims? Or we could have GRC along with ones that have other reliable sources but ones that are unverified by GRC and have no other sources should be removed. Feel free to comment there. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:26, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
