I have nominated Jefferson Davis for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 13:15, 18 October 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I just boldly added an "Articles Most Edited" section to the project's front page to show our included articles getting the hottest edit activity over the past week. We're the 3rd US state project (after Idaho and Washington) to show this on their front page. My view is that having something like this on the front page shows to visitors the ongoing life of the project, to hopefully attract more participation. Also, in some cases, it will show us where rampant vandalism or other problematic behavior is occurring. At any rate, it's just interesting info.

The Kentucky Horse Park, north of Lexington, is one of the main equine event venues in Kentucky, including holding several world class international events. The Wikipedia article has only 4 citations. I know the park has been extensively written about because the horse industry is one of the top industries of Kentucky (and a cultural favorite, like the bourbon industry is). Can anyone help to add citations and/or content?   ▶ I am Grorp ◀ 04:47, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've just created Project:WikiProject Kentucky/GNIS cleanup explaining how I've been slowly cleaning up this mess with what turn out to be some very extensive and expert-compiled sources. There are 91 books of KGS reports up to 1927 alone, and Rennick has hundreds of books and other documents. Alas, doing this properly is a lot harder than lazily mass-importing things from a computer database. Unfortunately the computer database was wrong, and we have quite thorough documentation from one person who tried to correct it and the Kentucky Geological Survey (no less) to tell us how the geography of Kentucky actually systematizes.

WikiProject Unreferenced articles | February 2024 Backlog Drive

There is a substantial backlog of unsourced articles on Wikipedia, especially for United States-related articles! The purpose of this drive is to add sources to these articles and make a meaningful impact towards improving Wikipedia as a whole. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles cited. Remember to tag your edit summary with [[WP:FEB24]], both to advertise the event and tally the points later using Edit Summary Search. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.

Is anyone who does WP Kentucky work using project-wide change patrol ("ALL PROJECT PAGES" and links under it)? If not, due to performance issues in updating the mammoth page it depends on, I may need to indefinitely deprecate this feature. If anyone does use it, I need to see if I can get a bot to do the updates to that mammoth page, although I don't know in advance if that will be possible. At any rate, please let me know here if you use it. Thanks! Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 20:08, 18 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
