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.

Help with Steelcase
Hi there. I've been working on some ways to improve the article of furniture maker Steelcase, which has its headquarters in Grand Rapids. I posted a suggestion for a new History section for the article, because the company's history is largely described in a bulleted list currently, but I've not had a response yet. I'd like for other editors to review it since I'm working on behalf of Steelcase and I do not want to make any direct edits to the article myself. The article falls under the scope of this WikiProject, so I am hoping someone here might be interested in taking a look. I've posted a note on the Talk page with more information. Thanks in advance, Heatherer (talk) 16:03, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

suggested COI edits at Dow Corning
Hi, I've proposed some additions to Dow Corning on the article's Talk page, here. I'm not editing directly because I have a COI (I work for a communications firm that represents Dow Corning). Dow Corning is based in Midland and thus falls under the scope of this WikiProject, so I'm sharing a notification here in case anyone is interested in taking a look and letting me know what you think. I would certainly appreciate any feedback. Thank you! -- Preceding unsigned comment added by MaryGaulke (talk o contribs) 16:32, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

Suggestion
Hello all! I was curious if anyone else thought it might be a good idea to make a (nonbinding) guideline on how all the individual US state WikiProjects should organize themselves, to help standardize them. I originally put this suggestion in the WikiProject United States talk page, so feel free to look there if you're interested. It's pretty empty though; basically all they said was to see what each of the individual projects thought about it. Please tell me if you have any concerns with this idea; hopefully we can find a way for everyone to love it! Also, I'm new at making proposals, so please forgive me if I do anything silly. :) Hope that you like this idea! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 04:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

West Bloomfield Township needs a highlighter map
The census map for West Bloomfield Township was deleted accidentally in 2014, in which an admin deleted not only the duplicate file, but also the actual file itself. Would it possible for a new map to be uploaded, in the same style as the previous map and other such maps of US municipalities?

RfC: Chrysler reception, rankings, ratings
You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Chrysler#RfC: Reception; rankings in independent surveys and ratings of quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Should the following content be added to the article?
Since at least the late 1990s, Chrysler has performed poorly in independent rankings of reliability, quality, and customer satisfaction. In 2011, James B. Stewart said in The New York Times that Chrysler's quality in 2009 was "abysmal," and cited that all Chrysler brands were in the bottom quarter of J. D. Power and Associates' customer satisfaction survey. In 2015, Fiat Chrysler brands ranked at the bottom of J. D. Power and Associates' Initial Quality Study, and the five Fiat Chrysler brands were the five lowest ranked of 20 brands in their Customer Service Index, which surveyed customer satisfaction with dealer service. Chrysler has performed poorly in Consumer Reports annual reliability ratings. In 2009 and 2010, Chrysler brands were ranked lowest in the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey; in 2014 and 2015, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat were ranked at or near the bottom; in 2015 five of the seven lowest rated brands were the five Fiat Chrysler brands. In 2016, all Fiat Chrysler brands (Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Fiat; Ram was not included) finished in the bottom third of 30 brands evaluated in Consumer Reports' 2016 annual Automotive Brand Report Card; Consumer Reports cited "poor reliability and sub-par performance in our testing." Chrysler has consistently ranked near the bottom in the American Customer Satisfaction Index survey.
Please comment at Talk:Chrysler#RfC: Reception; rankings in independent surveys and ratings of quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Thank you. Hugh (talk) 03:35, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
Auto-assessment of article classes
Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.
If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ RobTalk 01:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

US 50,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more states than they might otherwise work on. If there's the interest I will start 1000 State Challenges like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of states regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for the US and your specialist/home state like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every state, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any state sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thankyou.?

New stub article Cannabis in Michigan
Anyone here more familiar with the politics on the ground, and the strong sources to use, who wants to help flesh out this short article?

2016 Community Wishlist Survey Proposal to Revive Popular Pages
Greetings WikiProject Michigan/Archive 6 Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
- Fix and improve Mr.Z-bot's popular pages report
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman -- Delivered: 18:04, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Notice to participants at this page about adminship
Many participants here create a lot of content, may have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the skills considered at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:
- Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll
You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.
Many thanks and best wishes,

Popular pages report
We - Community Tech - are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Michigan/Archive 6/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Michigan.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
- The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
- The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
- The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Michigan, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.
Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:15, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

Turnip Rock
Good Afternoon,
I just did this recently and was looking at it for Ecology information unfortunately I couldn't find any information with credibility in order to add in current ecology information, however I did notice that this article does not touch on Kayaking or a water method id the only way to get out there due to the private land or that it is a roughly 7 mile kayak and will take you between 2-4 hours in order to make this journey.
I suggest adding in- "This trip will take roughly between 2-4 hours via Kayak and you will go roughly 7 miles round trip. Kayak rentals are available in town."

Years in Michigan
Over the last couple months, I've been trying to build out a series of "years in Michigan" articles. So far, 1950, 1955-1956, 1962, 1974, and 1980 in Michigan have a lot of content. The following additional years have been started, but still need a lot of work: 1895, 1901, 1905, 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, 1930-1954, and 1957-1961, 1963-1966, 1968-1973, 1975-1978 still need a lot of work. Other years have not yet been created. Ideas for content and/or formatting and assistance in starting/building out these articles are welcome. Cbl62 (talk) 21:27, 20 July 2017 (UTC) Updated.
