Proposed deletion of Perri Reavis
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Perri Reavis, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
Perri Reavis is a radio personality in Dallas, Texas. As members of a related WikiProject, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:07, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. -- Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:14, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Someone needs to get the Texas Instruments headquarters. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
I'll have to schedule a visit with a friend at TI before I can enter the complex and actually photograph the corporate HQ building and founders Plaza. The current photo probably serves as a better source of the 'corporate logo' however as the other signs are not positioned in good locations for photographs. I'll probably snap some of the DMOS5 South facility as well. Spectre9 (talk) 01:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
Denton, Texas up for GA review
I put up Denton, Texas up for review. I'd like to get this to FA or as close as possible to it.

Is Plano Mall for real?
Is Plano Mall (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) a real place? The article claims that the mall opened in 1988. I lived in Plano from 1990 through 1994, so it's been a long time since I've been in the area, but the only mall I remember from that time was Collin Creek Mall. It also claims that Lord & Taylor was in "Plano Mall" in 1988, but I never remember any Lord & Taylor stores in Plano other than the one in Collin Creek Mall. I doubt that the writer was referring to The Shops at Willow Bend, either, because at that time it was still the Willow Bend Polo & Hunt Club.
I think the article about Plano Mall is a hoax, but I could be wrong. Any thoughts? --Elkman (Elkspeak) 22:52, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
This is about the strangest local entry I've seen. There have only been 2 mainstream malls ever in Plano, Collin Creek and Shops at Willow Bend. Coincidentally, both were home to locations of Lord & Taylor at different times. This definitely gets a vote of removal from me. Awtribute (talk) 21:17, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Question regarding the use of KRLD-TV and Wikipedia redirect
In the Wikipedia article on Fox Television Network, the article correctly stated that KRLD-TV 33 (Dallas) was one of the stations that Fox bought out to form the initial Fox network. However, when you click on the KRLD-TV link in the article, it goes to KDFW. While it is, of course, true that both stations had KRLD calls in the past, my question is why that particular link redirected to KDFW-TV when it should be redirected to KDAF? --Preceding unsigned comment added by Sshuffield70 (talk o contribs) 19:29, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
- In that case KRLD should be Wikipedia:Disambiguation page, with links to both KDAF and KRLD. WhisperToMe (talk) 17:43, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Dallas-Fort Worth articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Dallas-Fort Worth articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (?) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

William H. Gaston
While working on something else, I was shocked to find that the William H. Gaston biography was a single line that didn't even mention Dallas. I've added a reference to an excellent recent article, chock full of biographical detail, that could be used to expand this article about one of the critical figures in the development of Dallas in the early 20th century. A lot more info is widely available. I'd do it myself but I'm terrible at biographies. - Dravecky (talk) 23:02, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

US Collaboration reactivated & Portal:United States starting next
Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration here is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for '''All''' editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.
The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. --Kumioko (talk) 19:06, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Help Improve Texas Projects and Portals
This is an open invitation to anyone interested in helping to update the information on the various Texas projects and portals. The information is generally out-of-date, sometimes by years. Every little bit helps. Every small improvement adds to the larger whole. Together, we can get the Texas pages to look current and helpful to visitors.
These two Category links will take you to the various pages:
- Category:Texas portals
- Category:WikiProject Texas
Anyone interested in improving the basic look and structure, could open a WP:RfC. Dialogue is good for the project.
These are areas I see could be improved, in addition to miscellaneous information on the portal and project pages:
- Participant lists could be divided in to two separate lists: Active, and Inactive participants
- Task lists that require monitoring, can be somewhat automated by replacing the individual topic items with category page links
- Eliminate duplication of efforts. Inter-connect the like sections in different pages to a singular template.

Discussion to remove the Automatically assessed logic from the WikiProject United States template
Greetings, there is a discussion regarding removal of the logic used to populate Automatically assessed article categories from Template:WikiProject United States. Most of the categories (over 220 Wikipedia wide) were deleted in February 2013 because they were empty. These categories were previously populated by a bot that hasn't run since 2011 and the categories aren't used. Removal of this uneeded/unused logic will greatly reduce the size and complexity of the WikiProject United States template. Any comments or questions are encouraged here.

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!
