Assessments & tags

Consider these now Done. I've run the bot and it works. Enjoy. Sai Emrys ¿? ✍ 03:16, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Esperanto task force

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 09:07, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Your task force has been re-subscribed to the Article alerts again via the new bot. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 12:19, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP 1.0 bot announcement

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Esperanto, candidate for Nobel Peace Prize in 2008

I have tried to correct the reference tags in the article Esperanto, candidate for Nobel Peace Prize in 2008, but I have not succeeded with all of them. Please help. (I will watch this talk page for any reply.) -- Wavelength (talk) 00:33, 21 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why on Earth is this a separate article? At best, it's a footnote in the Esperanto article. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC) Membro-dumviva, Esperanto USA[reply]

Why not? I translated it from the Esperanto article eo:Esperanto, kandidato por Nobel-Premio pri Paco en 2008. If the Esperanto version qualifies as an article in the Esperanto Wikipedia (Vikipedio), then why should an English version not qualify as an article in the English-language Wikipedia? -- Wavelength (talk) 16:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Translations of The Lord of the Rings

An anonymous IP has been repeatedly attempting to remove the Esperanto translation of The Lord of the Rings from Translations of The Lord of the Rings. I've added as many references as I can to prove its existence, but at this point I think the best thing would be to have more editors checking in on the page. (If anyone has a photo of the books they can upload, that might be a nice addition to the article anyway (especially, though not necessarily, if you also have it in other translations!). --145.226.30.44 (talk) 13:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Native speakers

I've started deleting claims of the number of native Esperanto speakers, as Ethnologue abandoned their numbers years ago, and never provided their source. — kwami (talk) 18:43, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article can still mention that Ethnologue formerly made that claim, but years ago abandoned it.

Importance of the page about Esperantujo

Saluton al ĉiuj,
It seems people are interested in knowing what is Esperantujo. In fact, it can also help to know the Esperanto culture a bit more if you’re interested. On wiki-FR, I updated a lot the article, showing most aspects of it, and added a link in the general article about Esperanto. Here is the result of views. As the number of connections seems significative, it may be interesting to develop Esperantujo on wiki-EN, too.
Ĝis! — SGC.Alex (talk) 17:41, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Esperanto

I think Esperanto is notable and unique enough among all languages, including constructed languages, to warrant its own WikiProject instead of just a task force in the constructed languages WikiProject. Any further thoughts? Michipedian (talk) 03:23, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A user keeps adding ci to Esperanto-related articles

For months, there has been a user who keeps editing Esperanto-related articles (and not only in the English Wikipedia, but in other languages and other Wikimedia projects as well) to add ci and sometimes -iĉ- (as if they were normally used in standard Esperanto) and make other dubious contributions. The edits come from several IP addresses but it is clearly the same person. He answered to me on a user talk page once, but that hasn't stopped him from making misleading contributions. I have already reverted numerous edits in Esperanto grammar but it's becoming tiresome, I don't know what to do. Mutichou (talk) 20:43, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ask for help article: Union_for_the_International_Language_Ido

Dear friends from the Esperanto task force. I am asking for help regarding the article about the Ido federation Union for the International Language Ido. There is one user spreading the false information that the ULI disbanded in 2015. Me and other members of the ULI tried to correct this information, but he always changes it back. I opened a discussion about it at the article, but I am not sure he will delete. I ask you to investigate the matter so that this fake news is spread. I post here my arguments as I am not sure it will be deleted soon on the discussion page. Thank you for your help! "==Dissolution of ULI== One user who was himself excluded from ULI tries to spread false information about the organization ULI. Lets discuss here the facts and then decide according to community rules. I want to initiate a discussion about this please and ask for the help of a steward and administrator to investigate the following facts: Here you can find the statute of ULI: [1] According to that statute: §36 "La Uniono dissolvesas, se un triimo dil membro demandas lo e se du triimi dil membri aprobas la dissolvo. En kazo di dissolvo la Komitato decidos pri la havajo dil Uniono." It means in English "The Union is dissolved if one third of the members demand it and two thirds vote for this decision. In case of dissolution the Commitee decides on the property of the Union". There was never such a vote. There is no other way to dissolve the ULI according to the statute. So any claim of the ULI is dissolved is wrong or please provide evidence of such a vote.

The ULI issues the Ido-journal Progreso. The journal is still issued and its financially supported by the Röhnisch-Foundation where the ULI claimed financial means. A dissolved union can not claim money. You can verify this on the page of the Röhnisch foundation. On the webpage of the Röhnisch-Foundation you can see for example that ULI was granted money in 2018, please see [2]
The ULI has an active Facebook group: [3]
The bank account and the web-page are active. I recently transfered as member of the ULI money to that account. I certainly won't pay money to non-existing organizations. If needed I can send in a copy of my bank statement.
The ULI has a web domain and an active website, please compare this content, it was created 2020. [4] Valodnieks (talk) 19:41, 15 March 2020 (UTC) Valodnieks (talk) 20:23, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Europe_Day needs link to https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eŭropa_tago

In the article Europe_Day, can somebody please add a link to https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eŭropa_tago in the sidebar ("Wikipedia articles in other languages")

I haven't been able to figure out how to do that myself.

(Also, if anybody here edits eo.wikipedia, I see that https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eŭropa_tago itself only has links to two other languages and should have more.)

Redirects

There are several redirects related to Esperanto that have been nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 June 22 that would benefit from the input of those with knowledge of the language. Thryduulf (talk) 07:30, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, it isn't. But articles about Esperanto and related topics are still actively edited, so you can still participate in some form. TucanHolmes (talk) 12:03, 17 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Propaedeutic value of Esperanto

The article Propaedeutic value of Esperanto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

There are very few reliable sources and practically no coverage in the literature on this topic.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Proposed deletion of Paderborn method

The article Paderborn method has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

All of these sources are unreliable or do not support the claims made in the article, possibly save one or two, and I don't think better sources exist. I haven't found evidence that this effect is accepted by the general linguist/educator community, or that this technique is actually used anywhere. Therefore, it suffers from WP:1SOURCE and WP:FRINGE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Proposed deletion of Tur-Strato 4

The article Tur-Strato 4 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails all 5 notability guidelines of WP:NB. Can not find any coverage, either in English or in Esperanto, about the book. Searching for both the book's title and its German translation's title, Turmstraße 4, only shows wikis and the book itself on library or bookstore websites.
