I wonder if you might be [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide#Overtagging is disruptive|overtagging]] the [[Talk:Stars in astrology|Stars in astrology]] article by adding it to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Agriculture|agriculture project]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject History of science|history of science project]]. In any case, from my perspective, since you are not a member of those projects it seems presumptuous to add anything. It may be more constructive and less disruptive to use categories to improve how the article is organized into the project. <font color="#500000">[[User:Jojalozzo|Joja]]</font><font color="#005000">[[User talk:Jojalozzo|lozzo]]</font> 15:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC) |

:No it should not be project overtagging, since the study of the cycles of the stars in ancient times is the basis on which astronomy grew from. And the cycles were studied to determine the correct time to plant. So, it would fall under history of science, astronomy and farming.

:: Perhaps, but consider that it is a very minor article with very few other articles linking in to it. I am sure the stars were also used for navigation in ancient times (and still), so should we then also add it to the Projects that deals with navigation? The Project Ships and Project Transport among others? Birds also navigate by the stars, so let's add Project Birds.. |

:: Where will it stop? |

:: The imperfect rule of thumb is to go to the main article(s) related to the WikiProject and check what LinksHere. If an article is not linking to it then it is probably not under the scope of the Project. Of course that can change if an article gets more developped.

Project overtagging?
I wonder if you might be overtagging the Stars in astrology article by adding it to the agriculture project and history of science project. In any case, from my perspective, since you are not a member of those projects it seems presumptuous to add anything. It may be more constructive and less disruptive to use categories to improve how the article is organized into the project. Jojalozzo 15:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
- No it should not be project overtagging, since the study of the cycles of the stars in ancient times is the basis on which astronomy grew from. And the cycles were studied to determine the correct time to plant. So, it would fall under history of science, astronomy and farming. 65.93.15.213 (talk) 05:14, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but consider that it is a very minor article with very few other articles linking in to it. I am sure the stars were also used for navigation in ancient times (and still), so should we then also add it to the Projects that deals with navigation?

- Where will it stop?
- The imperfect rule of thumb is to go to the main article(s) related to the WikiProject and check what LinksHere. If an article is not linking to it then it is probably not under the scope of the Project. Of course that can change if an article gets more developped. MakeSense64 (talk) 06:01, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
Please use edit summaries
I don't want to pile on but I noticed you rarely provide an edit summary with your edits. It improves collaboration on the project if you let your colleagues know what and why you are making edits and the edit summary is one of the only ways you can communicate that. Thanks for all your work here, Jojalozzo 15:38, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
