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.

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) 03:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Charlie Chaplin GA Review

This project has an interest in the Charlie Chaplin article, which is one our most important and most viewed articles. It being reviewed to see if it matches the criteria for a WP:Good Article. Among other issues it is poorly sourced. The review has been put on hold for seven days to allow time for the article to be sourced. Reference sources can be found on the "Find sources" notice on the talkpage. Further comments can be found at Talk:Charlie Chaplin/GA1. SilkTork *^YES! 08:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Deletion sorting for comedy articles / Esther Ku article up for deletion

WP:WikiProject Deletion sorting doesn't seem to have anything that would cover comedy articles, as there is for, for example, WP:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Actors and filmmakers. In the absence of such a list, I wanted to let this project know that the article Esther Ku is up for deletion; see WP:Articles for deletion/Esther Ku. My guess is that editors active in this project probably have a good idea on whether such an article should be maintained. I don't think I'm WP:CANVASSING here, any more than I would be by noting the AFD in the appropriate deletion-sorting project, if it existed.

Having an entry in the deletion-sorting project is probably a good idea. TJRC (talk) 01:57, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Fark

This article has been a GA since September 2009. I think it's getting close to FA? Does anyone want to take a look and see what needs to be done to bring it up to FA standards? Thanks! WTF? (talk) 15:53, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

in the spirit of free economy, THIS is bullshit.

Free economy my ass, i just needed a funny tagline. sorry cuban government, i probly am the last person to see the episode where mr tosh invites his religious yet perverse cable viewers to update his wikipedia show entry. id apologize for the bad english and misspelling in and around the article but im drunk and as mr tosh has taught us, drunk people dont have to apologize for anything. Back to the meat and potatoes of my errant yet slightly interesting response. Mr tosh kicks ass, having only the irreplaceable ability to rag on others people's work and be funny. I would sign him for many more seasons. adding in to the equation is that cops have been around for an exponential amount of seasons just bagging on white trash and other understandably low income americans. fortunately stupid people will do anything some air-time and instead of our fine law officers going out and finding/responding to 11 calls, mr tosh has the amazing ability to sit at a computer and find these things online. Perfect sneaky money maker? must be cause regardless of whether or not CC will actually pay enough money to live on for hosting a show, mr tosh has almost nailed the market for wally like shinanigens on basic cable(congrats homo, long way to go before you beat obrien's run on his old show, (or his 45mil kickback for not being on tv)) ( hes alomst made as much money as the idiots who sue Mckky'd's for serving hot coffee) keep it mr tosh. life will always keep on ticking, or rolling for as long as people continue to do old worn out Americas funniest home videos stunts and filming them. (thank you guy who faked his balloon kid stunt)(also a tool) Keep on rocking —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.86.212.101 (talk) 01:18, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
