IMO it is needed, because there are about 50-60 stubs, that in my opiniuon are deadends, and now they clog up Lithuania-stub place, and are only relatively related to it.--] 14:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, that's one thing... I really believe all those stubs should be merged into one article/list because 95% of them are destined to be stubs forever (just there is no info about those reconstructed deities) and all of them have dubious claims. It would be much easier to find out any wrong statements in one big list than in 60 sub-stubs.

According to the 2001 subdivision of Kaunas, it has thee levels of subdivision:
:I believe it's a bit too early for that. First, let's get the whole project up and going. It's a good idea, but now right now and right here. Let's better think what is needed for the project to become alive? Here are some thoughts:
:Seniūnija -> Miesto dalys -> Miesto teritorijos
:# Category tree to explain/plan future categories
I noticed that various people at various times translated these terms variously, e.g., Seniūnija was either eldership or elderate, and don't even want to enumerate how 'dalys' and 'teritorija' were translated. Not to say about confusing interwikilinks of elderates vs 'dalys' which have the same name.
:# Article index - list of all existing articles about Lithuania and what needs to be done to them; at the same time articles could be assessed (stub-ok-featured; not important-very important). I might attempt to compile the list of articles (more or less from my watchlist)
:# Article talk template - "this article is part of WikiProject Lithuania" (btw, P in wikiproject is capitalized)
:# Compilation of missing articles
:# Comprehensive resource page
:That's just some basic ideas. ] 17:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
::also adding on going votes related with LT ]


I'd like to unify the translations across Misplaced Pages. What will be the consensus about translations? - ] ] 22:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
So this is next step:)
Anyone should free to edit/make this page structure better. For now it is as programmer call it - in early alpha. Altoug, I do have feeling it could become tool.
: sorry I still not see vote issue, could you please point me directly; I do not find it :)]
:: Discussions ... - if you need a separate section for vote add it, altough, IMO it would seem as a conspiracy untill this page is not official. We could mark this feature as a '' will be enabled out of beta''. Would this satisfy you? because i'm not so eager to vote, I've stated it before.--] 21:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
::: eee... I mean to notify editors which article related with LT is going a vote procedures like Jogaila was and etc. '' i'm not so eager to vote, I've stated it before.'' -sorry but I did not recall this your statement, maybe I missed some issues...] 21:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

==Tasks for the weekend==
]
So, let's decide what we are going to do over the weekend.
Hello WikiProject Lithuania:


''']''' is holding a ''' month-long ]'''!<br /><br />
First, I think, we need to decide if we want to do article assesment on quality (see, for example, {{tl|Grading scheme}}) and/or importance. See for example existing template on ]. Should we have one like that? If so, start developing rating standards, rating template, categories, etc.
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme '''Around the World in 31 Days'''! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least '''31 countries''' (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.


We hope to see you there!
Second, start compiling a list of missing articles. Start with really important ones.
] (]) 11:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)</div>

Third, since Lokyz seems to be the most involved with categories, you could make some sort of category tree to show existing categories and categories that might be needed. (btw, to link a category, you should put : in front of the word category. example: ]) ] 11:21, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

:Assessment is good thing, just IMO it's a bit early to think about it. Importance - yes, it would be really helpful to make important articles better, also template indicating that this article belongs to WP:LIT is good thing (or should we wait until this WP will get official status?).
:I just dunno how much time I'll have on weekend, so can't promise a lot, but I hope I'll participate.
Should we create a subpage for requested articles and/or turorial and/or references?----] 13:16, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

== Persondata ==

Should we use this ] ? It is stated it's for automated collection of data for Misplaced Pages.--] 21:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

==Images==

Maybe we should build some sort of Lithuania related image data base? ] 21:32, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

:It would be great. Added image request section.--] 21:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

::Um, simpliest way would to properly inventorize/categorize whatever images are on commons, here and on lt wiki. Easiest way - transfer all free images on commons. ] 22:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

::: That's what M.K was talking about - not create separate, just to collect into commons a propper amount of pitures to use both in Lithuanian and English version of Misplaced Pages.--] 22:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
btw what is procedure to upload alredy existing in EN or LT etc. wiks. pictures in comm.? Does another editor could do it (not 1 editor, who uploaded these images)?

maybe we need and some sort ''Articles needing copy/edit'' also? it would be very handy at least to mine articales for sure :P ] 10:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

one more note, near article which, is in the Requests for article part, to avoid collision when two editors work on same articles, we should sign near the article who will take to write about it e.g. in the list- is request for Kolduneliai - I have appropriate info etc. so I will take it and near the name Kolduneliai I sing to inform others that I will work on this issue. ] 21:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

:Re: images. I created category ] so please "dump" all images there. When uploading an image from EN or LT to commons you need to give as much info as possible on the original uploader. See for example this ] uploaded by Knutux to commons from Lithuanian WP where it was uploaded by Algirdas. ] 21:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
::so what we should do with remaining old images when they are placed in comm. tag with speed del. or just leave in one peace?

==Restructure==
I did some work. IMO it looks much better now (what do you think?), but I am not quite done with resources part. So hold on, I just run out of time. ] 15:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
:So I moved it myself... We are official now :) And of course, help make ] beter so it can pass GA nomination. ] 16:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
:: GA issue should be the '''top importance'' matter now to us! ] 09:49, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== AK ==

M.K added suggestion to look for references to Armia Krajowa article, but it is rather political, and '''calm head''' recommended. No need to start another one WW on this issue. At this state article is rather acceptable and allmost balanced thanks to Piotrus. No need to spoil this balance. So evaluate sources ''very'' carefully.--] 10:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

==Assessment==
Ok, guys, we have some serious work to do. I have just finished creating ]. What you need to do is to take {{tl|WikiProject Lithuania}} and paste it on talk pages of Lithuania-related articles. Add quality and importance ratings as per assesment guidelines. Short version is presented bellow. Please leave comments on what should be improved to reach better quality rating. Also, if the article is 1-3 sentences in length add ''substub=yes''. Pretty simple really. See ] for example. Questions? :)

# History of Lithuania (1377-1569)

# History of Lithuania (1795-1918)

Hello WikiProject Lithuania:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
