:::::I have no comment on what you were just told. Whatever happened before is water under the bridge, except that the architect of this is not around to advise. Let me say that anyone from the Connecticut project can come to this page and discuss anything about their project. Nobody can restrict that. Nobody has to reply, but nobody can say Connecticut issues cannot be discussed here. If that's what you wanted, no problem. But overall what the bone of contention for individual projects has been is the talk page banner on each article. It's here [[Template:WikiProject United States]]. I had nothing to do with the banner, nor whatever bot it might be connected to that adds class ratings to articles. To my memory, projects who chose not to belong to this project didn't want this project's banner on their articles. They wanted to be more independent. So, you can post here anytime you want. Getting an answer to anything is hit and miss, not because it's Connecticut, but because this talk page isn't that active. But as for the banner, that really needs to be a decision for Connecticut to make. To do it without consensus on the Connecticut project would just cause problems down the line.

::::::{{Ping|JJBers|Maile66|Djsasso}} The statements made by Djsasso is not even close to the truth. The contributor who was the main architect in keeping this project going, Kumioko/Reguyla, was banned for criticizing administrator conduct on Wikipedia and was banned for that and remains banned for his refusal to follow a ban from the project he felt was unfair and a violation of site policy. Additionally, they did not pester any of the other projects, they did leave talk page notices '''as required''' on each project and let them decide. If there was interest great, if not then that is fine. Several were already completely dead and were added in order to keep them maintained to some level. Some also came back later and asked to be removed and Kumioko removed them as requested, reverted the talk page banners and helped several maintain their templates and projects after that even though they were not associated. So hyperbolic statements that Kumioko pressured projects into joining simply has no basis in truth. And no I am not them, so if you want to block me and accuse me of that because I bothered to read a lot of the history, then that's up to you.

10,000 Challenge
Hi, I was wondering if anybody would like to collaborate long term in trying to reach a 10,000 article improvement/creation drive for the US at Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 10,000 Challenge like we're doing for the UK at Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge? So far we've seen over 1800 article improvements in just a few months. Regional contests fuel the drive but it's a permanent goal now. Would American wikipedians be interested in running a similar thing and some state contests/editathons to increase output? There is also the idea of running a DC Area contest starting in January to help fuel this drive, including DC, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Connecticut and Delaware I think, to make reaching the target easier and more enjoyable long term.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:55, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent Ohio
A deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent Ohio may be of interest to members of this project. --JonRidinger (talk) 03:33, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
Splitting List of US health information exchanges from main article
I've proposed splitting Health information exchange § List of United States health information exchanges into a stand-alone list. Since the new article will be specific to the United States, I'd appreciate comments from folks here, especially those interested in healthcare or health policy. I'm also seeking input from WP:HEALTH and WP:MED. —Shelley V. Adams ‹blame

Reassessment Suggestion
I would like to request a reassessment of the Living Computer Museum to raise it from stub class, I have done extensive edits that have more than doubled the content and references. Thanks! MBlairMartin (talk) 20:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Move discussion at the Murder of JonBenét Ramsey article
Opinions are needed on the following: Talk:Murder of JonBenét Ramsey#Requested move 20 September 2016. Among the concerns noted in the move discussion is whether or not WP:Undue weight is being given to a recent documentary. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 15:41, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Adding Connecticut
I believe that WikiProject Connecticut should be added to the USA roster, since it is a state, and part of the USA. I would understand if it is not included, since it is a semi-active community.--JJBers (talk) 16:38, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- JJBers I don't think there would be any objection here. However, because not all states wanted to be a part of this, it was left up to the individual state project to decide that. The person who created the WikiProject United States is no longer active. Did you mention this over at WT:WP Connecticut? I have no idea how active the Connecticut project is. — Maile (talk) 17:47, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
- I have now mentioned it in the talk page, and also WP:CONN is semi-active, as I can tell, but that shouldn't make a difference, since you have Rhode Island WikiProject, which is inactive — Preceding unsigned comment added by JJBers (talk • contribs)
- Trying to shove all the small wikiprojects into this one was the goal of one user. He had added many without their desire. And pestered others until they did join. In the end it and other things led to his being banned. WPUS would get too large if all the us based projects joined this one. It was silly of him to try and force that. And really there isn't much of a point of joining them anyway since its is pretty inactive anyways. -DJSasso (talk) 17:40, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
