WikiProject proposals

edit

I noticed that you are drafting a page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Asian diaspora. However, a WikiProject is a group of people. Who else is already in your group? If you haven't found at least half a dozen editors, then you should probably draft this in your User: space. I suggest looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals.
