Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

Michigan Lighthouse pictures at Archives of Michigan
Fellow lighthouse editors: I have uncovered an awesome collection of Michigan lighthouse pictures, namely, the Archives of Michigan, which appear to be public domain, albeit requiring that they be credited as coming from the "Archives of Michigan." These could be wonderful additions to our lighthouse articles, if they are usable under wiki policy. These include pictures from many other states (e.g., Illinois, Wisconsin). Lots of lifesaving service pictures. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:52, 11 September 2008 (UTC) Stan
Unsuccessfully trying to add a link to a pertinent article
The light is one of several that is up for sale/acquisition under the terms of the Lighthouse Preservation Act. The article is on the subject of Michigan Lighthouses on auction block.]</ref> This article is being deemed spam, and the edits are being blocked. It is not spam so far as I can tell. I can't put the link here, as it is "blacklisted" so we can't talk about it. This would seem to be a real conundrum. I tried to put it in the edit summary, and it's still blocked. This is b.s. from my viewpoint. I am putting the beginning of the hyper link in bold lettering, so perhaps we can dupe the filter so that somebody can take a look at this.

the end of the link is as follows:

If you put together the bolded material, then you have the link. This is very frustrating.
The title of the article is Michigan Lighthouses on the Auction Block History for Sale, By Sandra Petersen, published Aug 22, 2008. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 18:39, 14 October 2008 (UTC) Stan
