WikiProject Nevada reactivated

Hi, I see you're an active contributor to Nevada-related articles. I wanted to let you know WikiProject Nevada was recently reactivated, and you appear to be a more experienced editor than me. Would you mind helping out in maintaining and monitoring the project? I know this is a big ask, so if you can't do it, I'm fine with that. If you could point me to someone else who could help out, though, I'd appreciate that. Thanks, and have a good day, 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs)🔥 02:58, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

@Hurricane Wind and Fire I am 100% down to help out! Send me an email and we can touch base! (Or, if you want to keep it here, that's fine too.) TheYearbookTeacher (talk) 03:31, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
I prefer not to use email because I don't have great access to it all the time (I'm often on public computers or I'm using different email addresses off-wiki) but I think we should start by recruiting new editors. Most editors on the participants list are inactive, and I asked a question at the Teahouse for how to advertise a WikiProject. I'm working on creating categories for the articles (like ), but if there's any back-end stuff you notice, I can help out. 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs)🔥 04:37, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
@Hurricane Wind and Fire Totally understand. Not a problem. Let me know, too, if you have any specific areas you'd like me to pay attention to. TheYearbookTeacher (talk) 08:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
I'm thinking we should post a notice at Wikipedia:Community bulletin board inviting new participants. I'm sure we can attract a few more editors if we spread some notices out to other projects, and Nevada does have a lot of mining, ghost town, and recreation interests we could post at related WikiProjects. Interested on your input on the best way to advertise, if you also don't want the discussion on your talk page, we can move it to mine. 🌀Hurricane Wind and Fire (talk) (contribs)🔥 01:08, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
@Hurricane Wind and Fire I agree 100% about the bulletin board and related Wikiprojects. I'll start thinking about some social media outreach as well. There's only one major concern I have, and, as someone who likes to get into the weeds like I do, so to speak, I think you can appreciate it. I don't know how endemic this is with regards to other states, but, so many Nevada-specific Wikipedia pages are replete with complete nonsense made up by someone who clearly heard it at the bar, or, think they remember because they've lived here "since the mob ran things." You know who I'm talking about. Maybe that's just a tangential complaint I have, rather than a recruitment-specific concern. 😆 So, however, we recruit, avoiding that kind of nonsense is something to be kept in mind. 🤷‍♀️ TheYearbookTeacher (talk) 08:16, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
