Hello and minor questions

Nice to see a wikiproject like this spring up. Never properly joined a wikiproject before and more so just lurking while contributing in my own way. I thought that a young wikiproject is as good as any to decide to give them a go.

Small question to put to you folks regarding if Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now article (and the ACORN International article) should be included in Category:Tenants unions. ACORN isn't nessarily just tenants unions, but the group also act and talk a fair bit like them. If it's of any bearing, the Scottish tenants union Living Rent, as well as the French union Alliance citoyenne [fr] are both affiliates of the union/org. Should ACORN be added to Category:Tenants unions or is their status in Category:Housing rights organizations based in the United States sufficient? Bejakyo (talk) 09:33, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and welcome!

For the US ACORN (and its later affiliates after it was dissolved), I think I wouldn't classify them as a tenants union. But for ACORN International or anywhere outside the US, I think its in that sphere, and can be classified as a tenants union or a tenant union federation, especially with you bringing up its affiliation with standalone tenants unions, which could also be great thing to add to their pages.

All of them are still under the purview of this WikiProject so ill make sure to add the template to all their talk pages. :) - LoomCreek (talk) 14:50, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's entirely fair, thank you. And yeah as you said, it definatly seems like it'd be of intrest to the wikiproject, as whatever it is, it's definatly an org related to tenants rights and welfare so I think the talk page template is a good shout Bejakyo (talk) 01:43, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bejakyo Oh also I recommend joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Organized Labor its a very longstanding and active one!

You dont have to participate in it but, I figure itd be useful anyways to join. Just to be in the know with all things going on labor wise. And it seems like a topic you're already very active with, although we could definitely use the most help here rn.

Theres a lot to do with this new project, im considering maybe eventually doing a cross edit-a-thon with them.

There are many great longstanding members of it that are incredibly helpful with this project as well. Anyways I'm very glad to see so many people join, It's been very exciting. - LoomCreek (talk) 16:58, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

oh go on then you've twisted my hand haha. I must admit I'm not ace at navigating wikiprojects as I'm never really sure what's up-to-date and what's been left for a while/is no longer as useful. Ironicly I did stumble upon this project through the message on Organised Labour. Bejakyo (talk) 01:46, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
