Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Space/2010 Reorganisation

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump.

What is the role of WikiProject Space, and how can the project be reformed or redefined in order to serve its purposes? What role should it have, if any, with regards to the coordination of child WikiProjects? Is there any need for this project's continued existence, or should it be abolished in favour of the child projects? Can any improvements be made to the structuring of the child projects? Can activity within the child projects be improved? --22:11, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

I would also like to clarify that in spite of the canvassing on the astronomical objects talk page this is not a top-down proposal to "abolish" the child projects. The two proposals put up on the Space discussion page were just two ideas for how a restructuring could be achieved, and not exhaustive options. Since WPSpace is the central coordinating project, it was the most logical place to hold the discussion and should have encouraged contribution from both sides of the project. Due to the opposition from members of the astronomical objects project to having this discussed on that page, I have posted this RFC on a subpage in the WPSpace project space, in the same manner as the last reorganisation. --GW… 22:11, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
