This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:34, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm a little confused on the scope of this project. Is it really all things maritime? Here are some articles that are not part of this project (just random maritime examples). Should they be, or is this not the right project for them? EEZ, International Safety Management Code, MARPOL, piracy, Protection and Indemnity Insurance, bollard, fuel oil. - attilag 18:22, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
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 Maritime Trades 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!

FYI, there is a proposal for a WP:BOATS to cover watercraft that are smaller than those bannered by WP:SHIPS. As several watercraft articles have been debannered from WPSHIPS, it seems appropriate that there be a wikiproject to cover these articles. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Boats

Hello, I have just created a stub for Port international de Port-au-Prince. You are welcome to help. Teofilo talk 08:57, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport/Maritime transport task force/Archive 2/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
I just opened up this discussion on Category:Port settlements and some similarly named categories. This is a different target than the last time these were nominated, and in the meantime nearly every category with the word "settlements" has been renamed. I would welcome comments on the concept.--Mike Selinker (talk) 22:23, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick (talk) 20:00, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
The founder and only really active member of the Maritime Trades Wikiproject has suggested that that project be rebadged as a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport.
I think we're at the point with this Wikiproject that we might consider something similar. Our article quantum is fairly stable, with relatively few ports-related additions to tagged pages. We have a very small active membership, and could seriosuly do with the wider attention and editor input that a larger Wikiproject might bring. And the divide betwene Transprot, Ships, Maritime trades and Ports topics is challenging and often arbitrary.
Potential negatives include losing the specific focus on ports, and reducing the prospect of attracting editors who are singularly interested in ports articles and not anything else either maritime or transport-related. But these seem unlikely to arise, especially as we're not attracting nrew members as it is, nor are we consistently improving the quality of ports info across most of the current article list.
Comments and criticisms welcomed, as always. Euryalus (talk) 11:40, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I started this project in 2007. For some time, I've been kicking around the idea of moving this project to be a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport. I think a Maritime Transport Task Force would have a few advantages:
Comments are welcome. Cheers. HausTalk 09:32, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
(od)Why did Haus bother starting a conversation about merging projects in which several ideas came up but he ignored those and merged the project the way he wanted to anyway? This ought to be good. Brad (talk) 21:48, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Being a not very active member, I am late to the discussion. My humble point of view (and honestly, I am not going to put up a tantrum for it) is that ports are not just a transport issue. They are mostly infrastructure, interface between sea and land, ship shelter, ship repair areas, and yes, also a point in the transport chain.

The Marine engineering article is kind of a mess. It is currently NOT a part of any Ship-, or Sea-, or Marine-related WikiProject. It is a part of both the Technology WikiProject and the Transport WikiProject—but I'm guessing those projects are not heavily peopled with folks who understand ships and marine technology. Furthermore, the article seems to be confused about whether it is about the operation side of "engineering" (in the sense that railroad train operators and ship operators are included) or the design side of "engineering" (folks who do the design of large engines, big ships, power plants, electrical networks, etc.).
In short, I think the article badly needs to be in some other project to get it the attention it (probably) deserves. Thought it might be a good idea to let your project think/discuss it. I am a non-ship, non-marine oriented person so don't really have good understanding of the Wiki-world of marine subjects and projects. N2e (talk) 01:41, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
What has happened with the project banner at Template:WikiProject Maritime Trades? It's a bit of mess now. There now appears to be two projects banners for WikiProject Transport, the one I just mentioned and the one called Template:WikiProject Transport. The Maritime Trades one uses B-Class assessment where as the main project banner doesn't use B-Class assessment. It's also using non-standard categories for template & category namespace assessment. -- WOSlinker (talk) 00:21, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
What exactly is the scope of this task force? I see there is a long list of topics covered on the project page, but is it possible to summarize the scope in a sentence? For example, I was trying to figure out the relationship between this task force as WP:SHIPS as well as WikiProject Sailing, Water sports, Kayaking, Rowing and Fisheries and Fishing.
I'm a member of WP:SPACEFLIGHT, whose scope is "topics directly related to spaceflight" (including, for example "spacecraft"). The scope of this task force appears to be "all aspects of maritime transport"; but why then are "ships" excluded? Mlm42 (talk) 23:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
Everybody knows that TEU stands for twenty foot equivalent units. I'm inviting your opinion on whether we should add an "s" when referring to volumes of TEU. I must add that when I wear my journalism hat I do not add an "s". If a ship has a capacity of 9600 TEU I write 9600 TEU and not 9600 TEUs. When a port handles let's say 40 million TEU, this is what I write, not 40 million TEUs. In articles about ports in Wikipedia I've seen both TEUs and TEU's (where the latter is frankly wrong). The other though is a matter of usage. Opinions and consensus please. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 21:17, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

The article Port Guinea has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Colonies Chris (talk) 11:12, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
Can I get a self propelled dry cargo barge to buy? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.139.4.148 (talk) 15:22, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Victoria Harbour is better-known on Vancouver Island, and this is no longer the major industrial port that it once was, just a heads-up about its creation, which is just a stub that got created in the context of certain geographic articles (e.g. Nanaimo River). Victoria Harbour (British Columbia) also needs a lot of work; relative to other BC port articles e.g. Port of Vancouver and Port of Prince Rupert it's kinda scattered.....Nanaimo's is still a link in the Trans-Canada Highway system (Departure Bay is part of the harbour) and was (is?) a main rail link to the mainland....once a very busy passenger port and coaling port also. Not sure what WP:Ports people might do with it, but there's lots out there to add.Skookum1 (talk) 13:21, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

List of deep water ports, which presently redirects to List of Panamax ports, has been nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 March 1#List of deep water ports. Your input to the discussion there would be appreciated. Thryduulf (talk) 12:08, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
I have just significantly expanded Lists of ports, a list of lists of ports. It would benefit from attention from knowledgeable members of this WikiProject. Thryduulf (talk) 14:14, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
I suspect that some of the 1540 unknown-importance articles of your task force have some importance information encoded, just incorrectly. Within ((WikiProject Transport)), either |Maritime=yes
or |maritime=yes
tags an article as within the task force's scope, but only |maritime-importance=
will properly assess them; |Maritime-importance=
will not. I'm not good enough at template editing to fix this myself, but if someone can implement this fix at the template, it might significantly reduce your number of unassessed articles. --BDD (talk) 17:57, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

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)
This is a notice about Category:Transport/Maritime transport task force articles needing expert attention, which might be of interest to your WikiProject. It will take a while before the category is populated. Iceblock (talk) 23:43, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
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.

Hi, I came across this article as an editor just included a photo of Dover as the first photo on the Port article. Is it really "the world's busiest passenger port"?

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) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
