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)
WikiProject X is live!
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Corrections to dates, date and citation format in sign articles
I have created a module which encapulates values for the dates the Sun enters and exits the various signs; the data is taken from the U.S. Naval Observatory's Multiyear Interactive Computer Almanac and covers 2015 through most of 2050. The Template:Zodiac date produces some erroneous results, so I hope to implement the change this week.
Eight of the twelve articles about astrological signs use the format of the month going first (like March 23), one uses the day first (like 23 March), and the rest are mixed. I have written the module to put the month first; if this is agreeable, I would change the date format in the four articles that aren't already using it.
The Infobox zodiac would also be altered to provide a citation for the new information. Seven of the twelve articles use the style known as Citation Style 1, one seems to use the Chicago Manual of Style, and the rest are inconsistent or use bare urls. Except, that is, for Pisces (astrology), which uses a combination of {{Citation}} and {{sfn}}, and has an extensive list of sources.
I would suggest moving the articles, other than "Pisces (astrology)" to the {{Citation}} template, which is very nearly the same as Citation Style 1. The main difference is that the different elements in the citation are separated with commas rather than periods, which is what most publications outside Misplaced Pages do when they use end notes. (All the articles use end notes.)
I'd like ideas about how to incorporate the citation from the infobox into Pisces (astrology). Jc3s5h (talk) 20:43, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
- Considering the lack of suggestions about Pisces (astrology) and not wishing to upset the fine set of references at Pisces, I think the best solution is to have the infobox produce a short footnote and create a reference list, including one for the MICA software, at each article that transcludes the infobox.

- This change is complete. Jc3s5h (talk) 21:24, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
"Mercury"
The usage and primary topic of "Mercury" is under discussion, see Talk:Mercury (planet) -- 70.51.45.100 (talk) 05:06, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Academic mathematics vs. astrology in Universal trinity
Please have a look to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Universal_trinity. Apparently whenever astrologic symbolism encounters over basic logics also mathematical logics there is a danger that some tunnel view mathematicians who want to robotize everything distantly mathematical try to overrun it. So is here a more serious view to it possible?
