Hi, and thanks for the message. Maybe you'll decide to start editing in the category? NCIS could use a few more editors. But anyway, have a great day! --1ST7 (talk) 16:08, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Have a great day, u 2. I actually was thinking about editing in that area ;) I need to put U2 things together first. You'll hear from me soon Miss Bono  (zootalk) 16:13, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

Great, nice to meet you t... Thanx :) Miss Bono  (zootalk) 12:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Why don't we start an NCIS WikiProject? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 12:23, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Sure, why not? There's a WikiProject EastEnders and a WikiProject Doctor Who, among others. Where would you like to start? --1ST7 (talk) 15:47, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject NCIS I have a few things in my mind but I will need help. Tell me whenever you are ready to start Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 16:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm busy at the moment but should be able to help in a few hours. --1ST7 (talk) 16:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

I will work a bit, whenever you have time check my work out. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 16:33, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. Thanks for your patience. --1ST7 (talk) 16:35, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I'm ready to start now. Again, thanks for your patience. --1ST7 (talk) 18:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

No problem. See this Template:WikiProject_NCIS, I created the logo. and this Template:User_WikiProject_NCIS Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:13, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

They both look great. Is there anything I can work on/help with? --1ST7 (talk) 18:18, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

I am trying to make a guideline, you know, some patterns we must follow to create articles much better. See that section at Wikipedia:WikiProject U2 Maybe you can help. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:26, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Sign here Wikipedia:WikiProject_NCIS/membership_list Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Is it okay if I move the discussion to the talk page of the membership list? --1ST7 (talk) 18:39, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Move it to the talk page of the WikiProject, wait a second... I almost finish. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:40, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

I need you to find some great quote form Gibbs in Wikiquote asap. can you? It will help if it is some of the rules regarding team work. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:50, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Working on it... --1ST7 (talk) 18:52, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Rule #15: Always work as a team. (Season 5, Episode 5)

Rule #3: Never be unreachable (Season 3, Episode 13)

Still looking... --1ST7 (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Rule #51: Sometimes - you're wrong (Season 7, Episode 24) --1ST7 (talk) 19:02, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Please, see Wikipedia:WikiProject NCIS, and now you can move the discussion to its talk page :) What do you think? Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:12, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

You're doing a great job. --1ST7 (talk) 19:19, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Can you add a summary in the center panel for the actros section, as you did to the characters? :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:20, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Sure. --1ST7 (talk) 19:34, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Templates

I think the importance and quality scales could be added to the template, maybe organized something like this:

Main NCIS page - top importance

Character pages - high to top importance

Main actors - high importance

Episodes pages - mid importance

Series producers - mid to high importance

Soundtrack and home video releases - low to mid importance

WikiProject article importance scheme

Importance	Criteria	Example
Top	Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field.	NCIS (TV series)
High	Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent.	Timothy McGee
Mid	Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area.	Shabbat Shalom (NCIS)
Low	Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article.	NCIS (soundtrack)
NA	Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc.	Template:WikiProject NCIS
???	Subject importance has not yet been assessed.	N/A

--1ST7 (talk) 04:48, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Totally agree :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 12:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I'm trying to figure out how to link the category pages. So far, the rating doesn't seem to showing up on the Talk page's template. -- (talk) 18:46, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

1ST7 See what I am going to do to Mark Harmon article. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:53, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I don't get the problem. Please, ask at the Teahouse Question Desk. I am a little busy at real work. A lot of paperwork to do. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 18:58, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

I asked about at the Teahouse about twelve hours ago and am waiting on an answer. (By the way, you did a nice job with the barnstar). --1ST7 (talk) 19:06, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

1ST7 Thanks! It still needs work. They already gave an answer. Check it out. it is at the bottom of the page. Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:13, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. I've asked again at the WikiProject Counsil page, so hopefully this can be cleared up soon. --1ST7 (talk) 19:26, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank Gosh! :) Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 19:28, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi both of you. I'm going to add the correct parameters to the template - hold on a second. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 22:56, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Ok, it should all be working now. I also created all the categories for you - check out Category:WikiProject NCIS. Drop me a note on my talk page if you have any more issues, or if you have any questions. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 23:20, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Importance categorizing

Okay, so far the following pages have been categorized as:

Main NCIS page: top importance

Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Tony DiNozzo, Ziva David, and Abby Sciuto: top importance

Timothy McGee, Caitlin Todd, and List of NCIS characters: high importance

Donald P. Bellisario: top importance

Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David: high importance

List of NCIS cast members: mid importance

All individual episode articles: mid importance

I was uncertain about some of them, namely McGee's. I went ahead and labeled his character as high importance but will change it to top importance if anyone thinks that that would be more appropriate. --1ST7 (talk) 04:26, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

McGee has been in the show since season 2, so I think he is top importance. IMHO Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 12:35, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

 Fixed --1ST7 (talk) 15:52, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Update:

List of NCIS episodes: top importance

NCIS Season 1-10: high importance

All actors and actresses who have at some point been a series regular: high importance

Shane Brennan: high importance

List of NCIS home video releases: mid importance

Actor who portray recurring characters on the show (ex. Robert Wagner): low importance

Pam Dawber: low importance

NCIS soundtrack: low importance --1ST7 (talk) 16:02, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Season 11

Hi! I'll soon begin working on an article about the 11th season. Like before, I'm planning to create episode articles for season 11. Jonny2BeGood (talk) 09:43, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Jonny2BeGood, it's great. ( Miss Bono ^[zootalk] 12:44, 19 August 2013 (UTC))

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! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot listed at Requested moves

A requested move discussion has been initiated for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot to be moved to Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (NCIS episode). This page is of interest to this WikiProject and interested members may want to participate in the discussion here. —RMCD bot 06:15, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

To opt out of RM notifications on this page, transclude {{bots|deny=RMCD bot}}, or set up Article alerts for this WikiProject.

Requested move 31 December 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. This has been open for over a month and a half and only two contributors. Given the lack of interest, I would say it would be acceptable for someone to be bold and try to implement either proposal and see if it sticks. Number 57 11:23, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject NCIS → Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/NCIS task force – similar to how other TV show wikiprojects which have fallen in activity have been converted into WPTV task forces, as has been the ongoing practice of several years at WPTV, this project should be similarly converted into a taskforce for WPTV. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 23:43, 31 December 2015 (UTC)--Relisted. jcc (tea and biscuits) 21:52, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Discussion

Any additional comments:

• Similar to the other dead wikiprojects we have discussed recently, I feel we would be better off simply marking this project as historical. It is clear the TV project do not want to keep or maintain it or surely someone from that project would have spoken up during the several weeks this has been listed. Jenks24 (talk) 07:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Similar to other TV show wikiproject we have handled for several years now, we have merged them to WPTV, such as with The Office in 2012, Stargate in 2012, Prison Break in 2008, Avatar: The Last Airbender in 2008 ; etc -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 07:12, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
    • Where are the people clamouring for this change if it is such standard practice? It seems more likely to me that dead projects converted into dead task forces are actually the outliers. This is a solution in search of a problem. Jenks24 (talk) 07:25, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
      • Merger is the recommended action at WP:Miscellany for deletion so would have the imprimatur of a deletion process, were we to start and MfD, thus acceptable outcome for this discussion -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 06:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

@George Ho: what do you think? You did the taskforcification back in 2012 for the two noted in the discussion above. Should we bold do this? -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 05:27, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

If being bold is too risky, perhaps do a discussion first. But I have no opinion. --George Ho (talk) 06:21, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

The closer said I would say it would be acceptable for someone to be bold and try to implement so, I don't think it'd be too risky -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 04:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Turn this WikiProject into a WikiProject TV taskforce?

I invite editors to join the discussion at WP:WikiProject Television to convert many inactive WikiProjects into taskforces, including this one. --Gonnym (talk) 11:08, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Closing inactive task forces

I invite editors to join the discussion at WP:WikiProject Television to close inactive task forces, including this one. Gonnym (talk) 12:10, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
