Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Textile arts

Hello all, excited to join my first WikiProject! While I do intend on involving myself with the full scope of textile arts articles, I want to propose that Paper and its eponymous category be taken under this project's wing. Paper is a non-woven mesh of natural fibers, so it does fit under the definition of textiles. More importantly to Wikipedia, however, is that paper has no real WikiProject. I believe this WikiProject has the proper scope to focus on paper, versus a generalist WP like Materials.

I am unfamiliar with the process of expanding wikiproject scope, so please let me know! chickenpox4dinner (talk) 17:46, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Do you have heavyweight references that paper is regarded as a textile? It seems unlikely to me. If Wikiprojects have "wings" these days, they are very weak ones, so I doubt much useful purpose would be served if it were included. Johnbod (talk) 00:40, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

For WikiProjects that participate in rating articles, the banners for talk pages usually say something like:

• "This article has been rated as Low-importance on the importance scale."

There is a proposal to change the default wording on the banners to say "priority" instead of "importance". This could affect the template for your group. Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Proposal to update wording on WikiProject banners.

Maritime fur trade has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 02:06, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
