== Article Licensing ==

Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike  (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public domain]] if they prefer.  The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles.  Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 2000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles.  Over 90% of people asked have agreed.  For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]].  The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''".  If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too.  ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''.  It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.  -- [[User:Ram-Man|Ram-Man]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit&section=new comment]| [[User talk:Ram-Man|talk)]] <!--23:11, 10 December 2004-->

desc none</imagemap>
'''[[User:Coredesat|Hurricane Will]]''' developed from a [[student|tropical wave]] to the east of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones|Caribbean Sea]] and [[m:Edit counting|intensified]]. It crossed over [[WP:AFD|Jamaica]] and re-emerged over [[WP:WIAA|water]] a few [[month|day]]s later. The storm intensified into a hurricane and an [[Hurricane Esther (1961)|eye]] began to [[WP:FAC|develop]]. Will became a [[Wikipedia:Administrator|major hurricane]] over the [[WP:RFA|Gulf of Mexico]] and made landfall on the [[CAT:ABL|vulnerable]] [[CAT:CSD|Gulf Coast]] of the [[Wikipedia|United States]] soon after. To date, Hurricane Will has claimed over [[WP:BP|350 lives]] and is directly responsible for about [[WP:DP|$5&nbsp;billion of damages]]; of which an unknown amount was [[WP:DRV|insured]]. Despite the damage, it is not expected that the name will be [[WP:BAN|retired]] by [[WP:CABAL|WMO]].

'''Other tropical cyclone activity'''<br/>
*After threatening the [[Hurricane Isabel|Eastern Seaboard]] for some time, [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricane Hink]] has turned away and the [[WP:WEEKLY|NHC]] has cancelled all warnings associated with the storm.
*The [[2007 Pacific typhoon season]] began with Tropical Storm Kong-rey forming on [[March 31]].
*There were a total of 7 cyclones in the [[2006-07 Southern Hemisphere tropical cyclone season|southern hemisphere]]: Becky in the South Pacific, Indlala and Jaya in the Southwestern Indian Ocean and Odette, George, Jacob and Kara in the Australian region. Indlala killed at least 80 and left over 100,000 homeless; whilst [[Cyclone George]] was the worst storm to affect [[Port Hedland]] in over 30 years.

The April member of the month is [[Hurricane Irene (2005)|HurricaneIrene]]. Irene began contributing to tropical cyclone articles on Wikipedia in August 2005, but ran out of [[sea surface temperature|steam]] and [[extratropical|left]] after barely 2 weeks. However, Irene's influence on the project has been wide-reaching. Her efforts led directly to two articles attaining [[WP:FA|featured status]] and her legacy inspired many of our most active editors to write a plethora of [[WP:GA|good article]]s on a wide range of storms.

'''The [[Main Page]]'''

The WikiProject has a narrow scope, so it is not surprising that our articles are not frequently selected for [[Wikipedia:Today's featured article|Today's featured article]]. Most destructive cyclones are likely to be mentioned on the [[WP:ITN|In the news]] column. We have no real control over that, but we should submit [[Wikipedia:In the news section on the Main Page/Candidates|suggestions]] when appropriate.

However, we can do a more lot more to place our content in the other major section of the main page: The [[WP:DYK|Did you know]] column. In the past month we created over 30 articles. Of these only 2 were even submitted as ''suggestions'' for DYK. We can do much better, please submit DYK entries for new articles when you do the initial assessment.

'''Storm of the month'''
[[Image:Aila May 25 2009 0455Z.jpg|thumb|Cyclone Aila near landfall]]
'''[[Cyclone Aila]]''' was the second [[tropical cyclone]] to form within the Northern [[Indian Ocean]] during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about {{convert|950|km|mi}} to the south of [[Kolkata]], in [[India]]. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the [[Joint Typhoon Warning Center]] early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by [[RSMC New Delhi]]. {{as of|2009|5|27}}, 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1&nbsp;million are homeless. Health officials in [[Bangladesh]] confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20&nbsp;million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7&nbsp;million (USD).</br>

'''Other tropical cyclone activity'''<br/>
*[[2009 Atlantic hurricane season|North Atlantic]]
[[Tropical Depression One (2009)|Tropical Depression One]] was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29. 
*[[2009 Pacific typhoon season]] - In the two month period, there were four tropical cyclones, all within a short time period and small area. Tropical Depression Crising moved through the Philippines but didn't develop. [[Typhoon Kujira (2009)|Typhoon Kujira]] formed over the Philippines, causing 29 deaths and almost $30 million in damage, before becoming the equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane. While Kujira was active, a tropical depression formed and dissipated over the open ocean, while [[Typhoon Chan-hom (2009)|Typhoon Chan-hom]] developed and organized in the South China Sea, eventually crossing [[Luzon]] and causing 60 deaths and heavy damage.
*[[2009 North Indian Ocean cyclone season|North Indian]] - Aside from Aila, [[Cyclone Bijli]] formed in April, making landfall on Bangladesh and killing 7 people.
*[[2008–09 South-West Indian Ocean cyclone season|South Indian]]– Cyclone Jade was the final Cyclone to form. Jade formed on April 5th from a tropical disturbance it quickly intensifed and bcame a category one tropical cyclone on the SSHS before making its first of three landfalls on Madagascar. Jade then dissipated on April 11 after causing fifteen deaths.
*[[2008–09 Australian region cyclone season|Australian Region]] - Cyclone Kirrly formed on April 25 in the Arafura Sea to the north of [[Australia]] within 5 degrees of the [[equator]] which is an unusual area of formation. It quickly reached its peak before making landfall on eastern Indonesia.  
*[[2008–09 South Pacific cyclone season|South Pacific]] - As the last newsletter was published Tropical Cyclone Lin was just devloping as Tropical depression 14F. Lin eventually went on to affect Fiji and Tonga causing at least $1000 worth of damage. Tropical Disturbance 15F also formed this month within the Solomon Islands. It moved eventually moved into the Australian Region but was not monitored by TCWC Brisbane as anything higher than an area of low pressure.

'''Project News'''<br>
There is debate as usual with regards to notability, as well as the status of the project in general, but nothing new is going on.

During the last week, some editors have organized a page &mdash; [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats]] &mdash; that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated.

Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. [[User:Hurricanehink|Hurricanehink]] is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. [[User:Cyclonebiskit|Cyclonebiskit]] is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin.

'''Contest of the month'''<br>
We currently have a remarkable lack of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Books]]. Right now, [[:Category:Wikipedia books on Christianity]] contains only 12 books. We certainly could have at least one book on each major grouping within Christianity. One of the challenges for this month, then, is working to put together books on relevant topics. For this month, one contest is for editors to assemble the basic Wikipedia books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the [[WT:X|main Christianity noticeboard]], and at the end of the month the project will award barnstars to those who have made a significant efforts in developing this underdeveloped content. 

Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles.  As biographies are often a bit easier, this month we are choosing two biographies: [[Karl Behm]], which has yet to be started, and the currently Stub-class article [[Nerses IV the Gracious]]. A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to [[WP:DYK|DYK quality level]] and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page. 


'''Calendar'''<br>
Thie coming month (mid-August through mid-September) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of [[Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary]], [[Bartholomew the Apostle]], [[Nativity of Mary]], and the [[Exaltation of the Cross]].

'''Wikimedia Foundation report'''<br>  
[[File:WikiNews-Logo-en.svg|left|40px]] 
[[Wikinews]] is our sister site for developing news stories. Several events relating to Christianity, like the installation of bishops for instance, do not necessarily merit extensive coverage in wikipedia encyclopedic articles, but can and easily could be covered at greater length in a news article format. Given the number of significant news events that relate to religion, including claims of miracles, assignment of bishops and other religious leaders, church conferences, and other events, this site provides an excellent opportunity to provide in-depth coverage of current events at greater length than wikipedia.

One of our newer editors, [[User:David_FLXD]], has recently gone through much of our content related to Methodism and assessed it. We are very grateful for his efforts, and that of all the editors who have had a role in developing that content. We have every reason to believe that this will make it significantly easier for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Methodism work group|Methodism work group]] to create and develop content relevant to Methodism. To help that along, we certainly encourage everyone to do what they can to help David and the other Methodism editors to bring the content relevant to their tradition to the highest possible level of quality. 


'''I believe'''<br>
... in the [[Holy Trinity]], the sacraments of [[Baptism]] and [[Holy Communion]], the [[Arminian]] conception of [[free will]] through God's [[prevenient grace]], and the regular renewal of the individual's [[Covenant (religion)|covenant]] with God. I am a [[Methodist]].

[[File:Wikipedia-logo-simple.png|left|40px]] 
As some of you may have seen, the [[Simple English Wikipedia]] has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the [[Bible]] are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the [[WT:X|Christianity noticeboard]]. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks.

... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a [[Calvinist]].

'''Spotlight'''<br>
[[File:Wikipe-tan in Santa Costume.png|left|40px]] 
[[WP:XMAS|WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force]] is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the [[Christmas in Japan]], where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

'''Spotlight'''<br>
[[File:Gold Christian Cross no Red.svg|left|40px]] 
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Core topics work group|The core topics work group]] is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Core topics work group/Topic list|core topics list]]. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at [[WT:X]] regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.

'''From the Editor'''<br>
[[File:ბუმბული.png|left|50px]]Since its formation in 2006, WikiProject Christianity has come a long way. A significant number of new articles have appeared on a wide range of topics, and the quality of some key articles has seen dramatic improvement. Yet, by the very nature of the open, [[crowd-sourced]] development environment in which we operate, as the number of pages in the project has increased at times our attention has been naturally diluted. We should of course strive for quality everywhere, but we should remember that this newsletter is called [[Ichthys|Ichthus]].

Starting this month we will start a "Focus on" series, where we will try to "bring Jesus back" and focus on him. For five consecutive issues we will focus on one aspect of the study of Jesus. The goal of this series is to inform our members of what the project contains and highlight those articles which have reached quality and stability. 

From this month until November we will focus on the historical Jesus, a topic which has been the subject of much discussion on article talk pages, as well as the general media. This is an important topic, and we have a good set of well referenced articles on that now. Then, starting in December we will focus on Christ, and the spiritual and theological elements that the title entails. Following that the review of the life and ministry of Jesus in the New Testament, his miracles, and parables will take place. And each month the "Bookshelf" will mention a book that fits the theme of the month.

We hope you will enjoy this journey as we present a new aspect of Jesus each month. And given that as the number of project pages increases, the ratio of those watching the pages declines, we hope that more of you will watch some of these central pages that help define this project.


'''Church of the month'''<br>
[[File:Church of All Saints, Winthorpe - geograph.org.uk - 1117642.jpg|150px|center]]
The current building of [[All Saints' Church, Winthorpe]] in [[Nottinghamshire]], England which was completed in 1888, is at least the third version of the church, which dates back to at least the early 13th century.


'''Good articles and DYKs'''<br>
The article [[Jesus]] received the [[WP:GA|good article]] mark last month, as did [[Cleeve Abbey]]. A number of churches were featured on the main page in the [[WP:DYK|DYK]] section in May, namely [[St. Lamberti, Hildesheim]], [[Karja church]], [[Braaby Church]], [[St Patrick's Church, Liverpool|St Patrick's Liverpool]], [[Vlah Church]], [[Freerslev Church]], [[Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu]], [[St. Michael's Cathedral (Sitka, Alaska)]], [[St. Lamberti, Hildesheim]], [[Karja church]], [[Braaby Church]], [[St. Pierre Cathedral, Saint-Pierre]], [[Mont Saint Michel Abbey]], [[St Patrick's Church, Liverpool]], [[Vlah Church]], [[St Catherine of Siena Church, Cocking]], [[Catedral Nuestra Señora de La Asunción]], [[Roholte Church]], [[Notre Dame Cathedral, Taiohae]], [[Leicester Abbey]], [[Caracas Cathedral]], [[Caldey Abbey]], [[King's Mead Priory]], [[Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Hong Kong)]] and[[All Saints' Church, Winthorpe]], as well as the hymn [[What Wondrous Love Is This]].

[[File:Christ icon.jpg|left|100px]] 
<BIG>T</BIG>HE</br>
<BIG>H</BIG>ISTORICAL <BIG>J</BIG>ESUS
{{clear|left}}
Did Jesus exist? Did he walk the streets of Jerusalem? The '''[[Historicity of Jesus]]''' article answers these questions with a firm affirmative. Historicity does not discuss if Jesus walked on water, but if he walked at all. The issue was the subject of scholarly debate before the end of last century, but the academic debate is almost over now. As the article discusses, virtually all academic opposition to the existence of Jesus has evaporated away now and scholars see it as a concluded issue. The discussion is now just among mostly self-published non-academics. 

In 2011 [[John Dickson (author)|John Dickson]] tweeted that if anyone finds a professor of history who denies that Jesus lived,[http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2012/12/24/3660194.htm he would eat a page] of his Bible (Matthew 1 he said). Dickson's Bible is still safe. 

The article discusses the ancient sources that relate to Jesus and how they fit together to establish that he existed. The evidence for Jesus is not just based on the Christian gospels, but by inter-relating them with non-Christian sources, and the fact that they all "fit together". Moreover, the existence of Jesus is not supported just by Christian scholars and in recent years the detailed knowledge of Jewish scholars and their discoveries (e.g. [[Shlomo Pines]]' discovery of the [[Josephus on Jesus|Syriac Josephus]]) has proven highly beneficial. We encourage you to read and follow the article, for the existence of Jesus is central to the existence of Christianity.

'''From the bookshelf'''<br>
[[File:SanDiegoCityCollegeLearingRecourceCity-bookshelf.jpg|left|100px]]''Jesus Outside the New Testament: An Introduction to the Ancient Evidence'' by Robert Van Voorst, 2000 {{ISBN|0-8028-4368-9}}
{{clear|left}}
Just a few years after its publication, [[Robert Van Voorst|Van Voorst]]'s book has become the standard comprehensive text for the discussion of ancient sources that relate to Jesus and his historicity. This detailed yet really readable book has received wide ranging endorsements - [[Craig L. Blomberg|Blomberg]] and [[Stephen L. Harris|Harris]] separately referring to it as the most comprehensive treatment of the subject.

'''Did you know...'''
[[File:Soli deo gloria.jpg|thumb|right|100px|A Handel manuscript]] 
*... that [[Johann Sebastian Bach]] wrote the initials "S. D. G.", for [[Soli Deo Gloria]], at the beginning and end of all his church compositions to give God credit for the work, and that [[George Frideric Handel|Handel]] at times did the same?

<div style="clear:both; width:100%;">
'''Calendar'''<br>
The coming month includes days dedicated to the honor of [[Beheading of John the Baptist]], [[Saints Peter and Paul]], the [[Nativity of John the Baptist]], and [[Saint Barnabas]].

Welcome to the second issue of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland|WikiProject Poland]] newsletter, the Monitor (named after [[Monitor_(Polish_newspaper)|the first Polish newspaper]]).

Our Project has been operational since 1 June, 2005, and also serves as the Poland-related Wikipedia notice board. I highly recommend watchlisting the [[WT:POLAND|Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland page]], so you can be aware of the ongoing discussions. We hope you will join us in them, if you haven't done so already! Unlike many other WikiProjects, we are quite active; we get close to a hundred discussion threads each year and we do a pretty good job at answering all issues raised. Last year we were [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-02-20/WikiProject report|featured in the Signpost]], and our interviewer was amazed at our activity. In the end, however, even as active as we are, we are just a tiny group - you can easily become one of our core members!

In addition to a lively encyclopedic, Poland-related, English-language discussion forum, we have numerous useful tools that can be of use to you - and that you could help us maintain and develop:
* we have an active [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Assessment|assessment department]]. As of now, our project has tagged almost 83,000 pages as Poland-related - that's an improvement of over 3,000 new pages since the last newsletter. Out of which 30 still need a [http://toolserver.org/~enwp10/bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Poland-related&quality=Unassessed-Class quality assessment], and 2,000, [http://toolserver.org/~enwp10/bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Poland-related&importance=Unknown-Class importance assessment]. We have done a lot to clear the backlog here (3 years ago those numbers were 1,500 and 20,000, respectively). Can you help assess a few pages?
**assessing articles is as easy as filling in the class= and importance= parameters on the talk page in the <nowiki>{{WPPOLAND|class=|importance=}}</nowiki> template. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Poland/Assessment#FAQ|here]] for a how-to guide.
* once an article has an assessment template, it will appear in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Poland#Article_news|our article alerts and news feed]], which provides information on which Poland-related articles are considered for deletion, move, or are undergoing a Good or Featured review. Watchlisting [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Article alerts|that feed]], in addition to watchlisting our project's main page, is a good way to make sure you stay up to date on most Poland-related discussions.
* you can also see detailed deletion discussions at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Poland]] (which is a good place to watchlist if you just want to stay up to date on possible deletions of Poland-related content)
* we have also begun [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|B-class]] quality reviews on our talk page, and if our activity increases, hopefully we will be able to institute our own [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria|A-class]] quality reviews. As of now, we have about [[:Category:Poland articles with an incomplete B-Class checklist|500 C-class articles in need of a B-class review]]. If you'd like to help with them, instructions for doing B-class reviews are to be found in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Poland/Assessment#FAQ|point 10 of our assessment FAQ]]. In addition to this automated list, you are also encouraged to help review articles from our B-class reviews requested list found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Reviews|here]].
* also, those articles will be included in our [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListing.php?project=Poland cleanup listing], which allows us to see which top-importance articles are in need for attention, and so on. We have tens of thousands articles in need of cleanup there, so if you ever need something to do, just look at this gigantic list. (I am currently reviewing the articles tagged with notability, either proving them notable or nominating for deletion; there are still several dozens left if you want to help!).
* did you know that newly created Poland-related articles are listed [[Portal:Poland/New article announcements|here]]. They need to be reviewed, often cleaned-up, occasionally nominated for deletion, and their creators may need to be [[Template:WikiProject Poland welcome|welcomed and invited to our project]] if they show promise as new authors of Poland-related content.
* we are maintaining a [[Portal:Poland]]
* automated [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Poland/Popular pages]] lists the most popular Poland-related pages from the previous month(s)
* Breaking news: we are looking for a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedian in Residence|Wikipedian in Residence]] for the New York City area. See [[Wikipedia:GLAM/Józef Piłsudski Institute of America]] for details.
This is not all; on our page you can find a list of useful templates (including userboxes), awards and other tools!


With all that said, how about you join our discussions at [[WT:POLAND]]? Surely, there must be something you could help others with, or perhaps you are in need of assistance yourself? 

It took me three years to finish this issue. Feel free to help out getting the next one before 2017 by being more active in WikiProject management :)

The article [[:List of newspapers serving cities over 100,000 in the United States]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Redundant template and Arbitrary inclusion'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of newspapers serving cities over 100,000 in the United States|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->
