Yeah, and a lot of editors are becoming less active too. I had marked like three WikiProjects this year as inactive and others as semi. I actually just marked WikiProject Cryptocurrency to semi because there are only two members who are still active editors. Jerm (talk) 23:37, 19 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I added the assessment table of the task force to the page of the wikiproject, but I'm not sure if the wikiproject has the same amount of articles assessed according to the task force assessment table. Jerm (talk) 03:58, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I noticed that 200 euro note (a Good Article) has an empty subsection (this one). This seems like something that can be easily fixed by someone with the right expertise, which is why I'm bringing it to your attention. Thanks! Lennart97 (talk) 15:17, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I need someone to copyedit this article for me. It took a few days but I feel enough information has been poured into the article to bump it up to a "B" rating. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Some bot keeps trashing the talk page of Talk:Coins_of_the_United_States_dollar can someone look into it? There is a new coin/bullion Morgan/Peace dollar coming out this year, and it may need to be added, but the bot keeps deleting the section to talk about how to add it to the page. shadzar-talk12:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 21:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usage of coin colour templates
Hello numisticians, I thought I'd drop this thought I had here for some initial feedback, before I go on and propose something more formal, as I know this is a passionately watched category of articles. The three templates used to add colour to tables of coinage (Template:Coin-copper-color, Template:Coin-yellow-color, and Template:Coin-silver-color) are all applied as per the numistics MOS, with entire rows being coloured (example taken from MOS):
Prewar series - Regular issues (link to official page about this series if exists)
Couldn't we make it so that only the cells in the 'composition' column get the colour instead? This has two benefits, as I see it:
The reader may be confused about why a row is seemingly arbitrarily coloured, but if it's just one cell, the contents of that single cell should make it very clear what the colour refers to
I suspect minimising the use of coloured backgrounds will improve accessibility
Here's what it could look like:
Prewar series - Regular issues (link to official page about this series if exists)
I've made the above update 'manually', but I'd imagine the templates can be updated if there's consensus that this is a good idea. Any thoughts? EditorInTheRye (talk) 09:24, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
ZLEA That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that, actually. It's doable, but I'll be the first to admit that editing this table (taken from the article you linked) was rather painful (but then again others may be more at ease with wikitable markup than I am)...

I've just perpetrated the article Jindřich Marco, on a Czech numismatist, despite my complete ignorance of both the Czech language and numismatics. A surefire recipe for failure -- except that Marco is better known (I think) as a photojournalist, and his photojournalism is currently the subject of most of the article. The impression I get is that a lengthy incarceration and political pressures (and possibly weakened health) pushed Marco towards apolitical, unproblematic photography, which he took on for books intended for the export market (published by Paul Hamlyn, etc), and his experience in this work turned him into a numismatist himself. (Not that he quite abandoned photojournalism.) ... if anyone here happens to be interested.... Hoary (talk) 08:27, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
