Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Merge of Tarot Cards

I will shortly be merging the tarot cards into their suits and I am trying to contact the interested parties for comment.Tetron76 (talk) 12:37, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Request for input in discussion forum

Given the closely linked subjects of the various religion, mythology, and philosophy groups, it seems to me that we might benefit from having some sort of regular topical discussion forum to discuss the relevant content. I have put together the beginnings of an outline for such discussion at Wikipedia:WikiProject Religion/2011 meeting, and would very much appreciate the input of any interested editors. I am thinking that it might run over two months, the first of which would be to bring forward and discuss the current state of the content, and the second for perhaps some more focused discussion on what, if any, specific efforts might be taken in the near future. Any and all input is more than welcome. John Carter (talk)

Tokyo Sky Tree in 19th century art

According to Mainichi Shimbun, a structure resembling Japan's Tokyo Sky Tree shows up in Utagawa Kuniyoshi's woodblock print "Toto Mitsumata no Zu". Definitely an out-of-place artifact to say the least.--DrWho42 (talk) 11:35, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Paranormal portal

Why does Portal:Paranormal redirect to Portal:Occult? It's been redirected since 2007, but I really think it should be revived (or simply deleted?). The two topics are not the same. — Jeraphine Gryphon ^(talk) 15:29, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

Roswell UFO Festival

Roswell UFO Festival is currently a redirect to Roswell UFO incident, which is sad since the festival is likely notable. I ran across the fact accidentally when doing some maintenance on List of festivals in the United States. I quick look on Google shows lots of primary but good quality links, and lord knows that there has probably been plenty of coverage in newspapers on the event. This is well out of my area of expertise (although I would enjoy reading the article) so I figured it would best be to drop a line here, and perhaps someone in the project could start the article in a sandbox and get working on one. I would be happy to assist on the article, but I wouldn't be the right person to take the lead in creating it. If you do start it, drop me a line on my talk page and I will start chasing quality sources. Dennis Brown (talk) 18:17, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
