This is the WikiProject Louisville Participation and outreach department, a starting point for participation in our project. As our project follows the model of an action center, working in the project in an official basis means that instead of acting as members of a club, we become listed participants who voluntarily work on the project's tasks, with no deadline.
Starter kit for new WikiProject Louisville participants
Optional: If you have added yourself to our list of project participants, you may add {{WPLouisville-Participant}} (banner) or {{User WPLouisville}} (userbox) to your user page. Participants who use the banner will see all project alerts. Examples are below.
Optional: Place WP:WikiProject Louisville on your watchlist, so you can keep track of new project developments and discussion. It may be useful to watch some of the project's subpages as well.
Optional: Introduce yourself on our project's talk page.
WikiProject Louisville/Participation is a participant in WikiProject Louisville, an open collaborative effort to coordinate and develop appropriate, comprehensive and well-connected content covering metropolitanLouisville, Kentucky and related subjects in the Wikipedia.
Even though listing oneself below isn't required, following are the benefits and responsibilities of being a listed participant in WikiProject Louisville:
Potentially receiving special communications from our project, such as newsletters and major alerts.
Displaying our really cool project banner on your user page or user talk page.
Publicly demonstrating your interest in Louisville area-related subjects, or just showing your community pride!
Potentially getting asked project-related questions from other project participants and Wikipedia editors at large.
To become a listed participant, add your linked username and optional comments about yourself to the Active participants list.
*Being on our participant list is not required for working on our tasks.
Notes
Listed participants must have a Wikipedia account.
Participants are sorted in alphabetical order. If a participant provides their last name as a separate word in their username, they are sorted using that.
Wikipedia editors who have been indefinitely blocked, or have quit Wikipedia, or have been inactive (no edits done) in over 5 years, will be removed from the list. However, they are very welcome to re-list themselves if they return to Wikipedia.
