Forum:SH:WookieeProject Delete WookieeProjects

It has traditionally been Wookieepedia's practice to delete dead WookieeProjects once they stop...well, living. We currently have a handful of WookieeProjects on the docket that probably fit this bill right now. The following is a list of such WookieeProjects that have been determined to be mostly, if not completely, inactive for a substantial period of time. For the project's benefit, I have given a brief explanation for why a project is listed as inactive. The idea here is to give anyone who is legitimately interested in either reviving or continuing a project&mdash;or, alternatively, showing why a project is still, in fact, active&mdash;a chance to do so by simply stating as much under each respective project heading. Keep in mind that by doing so, you are volunteering to legitimately demonstrate its active status in the very near future. Just saying that it's still active or is going to be active without evidence is not good enough. Any WookieeProject that remains inactive as of April 1, 2013 will be deleted. For a select few of our larger projects that have had a major impact on the community, you may alternatively request they be archived for posterity purposes. This will not apply to smaller projects, however. Also, if you believe there is a WookieeProject that is inactive but not listed below, you may add it to the field with a proper explanation for its inactivity.

WookieeProject Atlas

 * Why it's inactive: Project creator no longer edits. Project has not been edited since February 23, 2012. No substantive additions made to the project going back to 2010-2011, according to project page.

WookieeProject Ewoks

 * Why it's inactive: Project creators no longer edit regularly. Project has had no substantive additions going back to 2010-2011, according to project page.

WookieeProject Massive Damage

 * Why it's inactive: I'm not sure this project has ever made any substantive additions or contributions in its history.

WookieeProject The New Jedi Order

 * Why it's inactive: No substantive additions to project since November 27, 2011, according to project page.

WookieeProject Newsnet

 * Why it's inactive: Since August 2011, only one person has made an approved post to the Newsnet other than Menkooroo. While just about anyone can post stories to the Newsnet, the whole idea is really kind of dead outside of Menkooroo. There is probably still value in leaving some kind of note somewhere on the wiki advertising that people are welcome to sign up to post Newsnet stories, but I figure that could probably be achieved more efficiently in the Community Portal.

WookieeProject Real World Music

 * Why it's inactive: I know this is your baby, Fred, but from what I can see according to the project page, there hasn't been any real activity in this project in quite some time. Going back to early 2011.

WookieeProject Star Wars Encyclopedia

 * Why it's inactive: The real impetus and purpose for this project&mdash;populating Sources lists with CSWE mentions&mdash;stopped being relevant a long time ago. Just about everything that needed to be done appears to have been taken care of. The only real value I see with this project still are the forums requesting SWE and CSWE entries, which can still be maintained outside of this project.

WookieeProject Tales of the Jedi

 * Why it's inactive: This was, for a long time, the WookieeProject on Wookieepedia. Everything that has come since has modeled itself on this project. TOTJ deserves the respect it gets, but it really hasn't been doing anything at all since the summer of 2011. This is an example of a project that will probably be archived.

WookieeProject The New Essential Guide to Characters

 * Why it's inactive: No substantive additions to project since summer 2010. The idea was to try and FA all the characters listed in NEGTC, which has long been forgotten. The fact that the project page still says Lando Calrissian is its current focus speaks for itself.

WookieeProject The Force Unleashed

 * Why it's inactive: Project creator long gone. No substantive additions to project since August 2011, according to project page.

Discussion
There's no need to freak out if one if your projects is listed and you think it's still active or is going to be active in the near future. Again, simply leave a note under your project heading explaining why it's still active and showing evidence for this. To reiterate, for anyone who is going to try and resurrect a project, you are expected to actually do some work on it in the near future. The project will still be deleted on April 1 otherwise.
