| : Your template has a graphic suggesting that the data all comes from the Census Bureau, but you're including articles on religion. In as much as the Census Bureau hasn't collected religion data for decades, and is forbidden by law from collecting religion data, either the Census Bureau graphic, or the links to religion pages needs to disappear. | |||
| : I recommend the religion links disappear, as you have a rather bizarre selection, including the Episcopal Church, which has only 2,314,756 members in the US, while leaving out the Assemblies of God, the Latter Day Saints, the ELCA Lutherans, the Missouri Synod Lutherans, the Jews, the Presbyterians, the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Methodists, all of whom have larger memberships. What's more, if you don't have criteria for who to include and who to exclude, (and I don't any criterion mentioned anywhere), even an advocate for the Albanian Orthodox Diocese of America, with 395 members in two churches in the US, could reasonably demand they be included in your links. ] - ] 22:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::Religion is part of the American demographics. The template is not near finished and if you look in its mark-up you'll see that I ask for other editors to add more reiligions, if there are articles about these religion's in presence in the US here on WP. The Albanian Orthodox Diocese should be included if there is an article for their presence in the US here on WP. I did not set any criteria for exclusion. Now we have two choices, I guess, list all religions with an article about their presence in the US here on WP-which is what I originally intended, or not list any. I do see your point about the Census graphic, I wasn't aware that it would be perceived in that manner-so I just left the religion article in.<b><font face="Arial" color="1F860E">]</font><font color="20038A"><sup>]</sup></font></b> 23:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hello. The ] has recently updated the ]. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at ], listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding ], ], and ] are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. ] 18:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I have noticed that there are a '''lot''' of articles which fall within the scope of more than one of the state projects and/or city projects. These have begun to clutter up some of the talk pages. Would this project be at all interested in changing the makeup of its project banner to something like the ], or ], so that it could highlight this project's interest in the article and also, by introducing the "drop-down" minor banners, reduce the overcrowding on some of the talk pages? I can't necessarily speak for the other projects, but, if they were approached about this idea, I think most if not all would agree to it in cases where three or more (for example) projects are involved.

| == Need Help Writing & Checking Already Written Summaries == | |||
| ==Peer review request - ]== | |||
| Lately, I have been working on criminology topics which is an area that Misplaced Pages sorely lacks. Last weekend, I discovered there was no article on "Gun violence", so started one. Most of the research literature pertains to the United States, so the article has become Gun violence in the United States. Obviously, people have strong POV on this topic. To try and rise above politics, I have only included the highest quality reliable sources (mainly peer reviewed, scholarly journals). Personally, I really don't have a POV on this topic, and am staying out of the ] article. With the gun violence article, I have stayed with presenting the current state of research on this topic. I think is close to featured status, though some "gun rights" folks have already come along and place a neutrality tag on the article. I could really use some peer review on the article, at this point. Do you at all agree with the person who placed the neutrality tag? Any suggestions on making in more NPOV. In reality, I feel that the article deals fairly with both POVs, citing strategies advocated by gun-control folks as ineffective, while citing some strategies advocated by the Bush administration as effective. Do you have any suggestions on improving the article? are there aspects of the topic that are missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have filed a formal peer request ], though feel free to leave comments on the article talk page if you prefer. Thanks. --] <small>(])</small> 13:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC) | |||
