re: Wikijunior Europe

You raise a valid point with regards to the progress indicators, and their lack of uniformity. The indicators are at best guides for contributors, and do not form an important part of any book. In the case of the Croatia page, the information it presents is sparse, and therefore it should probably be graded at 50%. I personally would change the percentage to 50, and leave the others, as if you were forced to move many lower quality articles up to 75% you would risk compromising the quality of the book. Hope this helps :) -- Reece (Talk) (Contributions) 21:10, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Founding Fathers

Thank you for your work on Wikijunior:American Founding Fathers. I was going to do some work on John Adams, but I saw that you had already started that and one on Thomas Jefferson. Would you be interested in being an Author of the book? If so, you are more than welcome to add your name.-Red4tribe (talk) 15:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

The amount on George Washington is roughly what I would like to have on the prominent founding fathers, such as John Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe etc. I might add some more to Washington before I move it under Publishable Articles too. But for some of the other guys, such as Peyton Randolph, and George Taylor, we can never have as much on them, because there simply would not be enough information. So for them, there will be quite a bit less. Its up to you whether or not you add your name to the author list. I'm okay with it either way, school is approaching for me as well.-Red4tribe (talk) 22:46, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
