Weekly IRC Meeting
It has been proposed that a weekly IRC meeting be held, to get an overview of what needs doing at any one particular time. This would also allow concerns and queries to be raised and concensus to be taken by the group. Could people post their views on this, including possible available times, below. The sooner Link and I sort out how the group will work, the sooner we can start churning out good-quality articles for this encyclopedia. Rob Church Talk | Desk 23:59, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
- A game of Hangman every meeting, and on Friday or Saturday. Either one would be equally preferable (although I'd actually prefer Saturday, but by just a pinch). -- A Link to the Past 00:13, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan. But, what exactly are we going to discuss at this meeting? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:15, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Available any time during the weekends; available from 8:00 BST/GMT Monday-Friday (when I usually get back from work). As an alternative to Hangman, what about we attempt to do hypnosis or Freudian analysis over IRC ;-) --NicholasTurnbull 00:17, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

This is remarkably similar to WP:IDRIVE. Alphax τεχ 05:25, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
- Well, do many articles from IDRIVE come to FAC? I know Wario did, but I am not sure about others. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 05:42, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

- Four FA's, not bad. But, let us give this a shot. If this does not work, we could see if we could do whatever we can to get more articles featured together, or we can go our separate ways. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 07:02, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
- This is not similar to the ID. Wario would have become featured without it, because I was working on it before I submitted it. -- A Link to the Past 15:37, August 14, 2005 (UTC)
- And, personally, I worked and got more articles Featured than ID ever has. Enough with the ego bosting on my end, I just think our main goal with this project is to start and finish the FA process for the articles. While some have come from ID, I just do not see many take it through the FA process. However, to warn everyone, Raul654, the FA headperson, said we should not flood FAC with many articles: one at a time will be good enough. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 15:39, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
