Lyrics

I suggest a WikiProject Lyrics.--155.54.178.240 (talk) 11:51, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well lyrics are not on Wikipedia, as that would be a copyright violation. Therefore, the project wouldn't work. Acather96 (talk) 18:23, 27 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not all lyrics are copyright limited, and fair use/fair dealing allow reasonable excerpts to be quoted from those that are. A WikiProject consisting of agents who understand the copyright law, and with enthusiasm for music could help ensure appropriate and consistent quoting. Rich Farmbrough, 19:56, 3 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]
You are right. For example, there are lyrics in the public domain. --155.54.178.240 (talk) 23:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject cleanup listing

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot. See the tool's wiki page and the tool itself. Svick (talk) 18:39, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. If each listing by categories had its own table of contents, that would be helpful.
—Wavelength (talk) 19:42, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done, listing by category now contains a TOC with a number of articles for each category. Svick (talk) 22:15, 7 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much for those additional features.

Most watched/edited WikiProjects

We have two new reports on WikiProjects:

Thanks to Svick and Wavelength for making this happen.

From the first list, I wonder whether we should review the couple hundred at the end (with only one or two changes to any page during the last 30 days) and see about having them tagged as {{inactive}} or {{semiactive}}. Some of them are doubtless already tagged that way. What do you think? WhatamIdoing (talk) 00:20, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I favor not tagging them, because that might discourage (rather than encourage) edits to them, but editors can visit pages in those WikiProjects and look for things that need to be improved.
—Wavelength (talk) 01:29, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Tagging the projects as inactive isn't particularly useful in terms of getting them to be more productive, in my opinion; I think we should really be looking at longer-term solutions (e.g. merging them to an active project, transforming them into a task force, etc.) for the terminally catatonic ones. Kirill [talk] [prof] 02:36, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The list is also missing the totally inactive projects with 0 changes. -- WOSlinker (talk) 10:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I support the Kirill's idea of merging, either into an active project or as a task force. --Kslotte (talk) 10:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"last 30 days", could the report be made on a bit longer time period? maybe a year? would give better information about Wikiprojects that really are inactive. --Kslotte (talk) 10:49, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The usefulness of a project doesn't bear any great relation with edits or watchers. Tagging projects as inactive isn't tremendously helpful; it just puts off people who might get involved. Merge if necessary, but don't underestimate the organisational value derived from projects with no visible activity on the project pages. (For example, project assessments made on talk pages don't show up on the project page as an edit.) Rd232 talk 11:26, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The report has been updated to include changes in the past 365 days and projects with 0 edits too. Note that if the table contains a redlink or a redirect, it means there is some non-redirect sub- or talk-page under that name. Svick (talk) 15:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've tidied up some of those redlinked projects by moving some pages to the correct locations. -- WOSlinker (talk) 16:27, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think about talk pages such as Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Art or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Web Animation? They contain some discussion, but the corresponding non-talk pages are redirects to some actual WikiProject. I'm asking because they show up in the list as if they were a WikiProject with 0 edits. Svick (talk) 17:36, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Could the talk pages just be edited and changed into redirects as well? -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:55, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think redirecting (or archiving and redirecting, if there's significant material there) is probably the best approach for pages like that. Kirill [talk] [prof] 02:26, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Would some updated SQL help? Adding another column to the report could show if the projects mainpage is a redirect. (Haven't actually tested the SQL below though) -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:01, 14 November 2010 (UTC)[reply] 

SELECT REPLACE(SUBSTRING_INDEX(page.page_title, '/', 1), '_', ' ') AS project,
       SUM((
         SELECT COUNT(*)
         FROM revision
         WHERE page.page_id = rev_page
         AND DATEDIFF(NOW(), rev_timestamp) <= 365
       )) AS count,
       page2.page_is_redirect AS project_is_a_redirect
FROM page
LEFT JOIN page AS page2
 ON (REPLACE(SUBSTRING_INDEX(page.page_title, '/', 1), '_', ' ')=page2.page_title AND page2.page_namespace=4)
WHERE page_title LIKE 'WikiProject\_%'
AND page.page_namespace BETWEEN 4 AND 5
AND page.page_is_redirect = 0
GROUP BY project, project_is_a_redirect
ORDER BY count DESC, project


Femto Bot

Is now taking orders for "recent changes" pages to maintain similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Hawaii/Hawaii_recent_changes and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Bacon/Recent_changes. Rich Farmbrough, 18:26, 17 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Essay

Just what we need, another userspace essay of at best dubious quality, right? Anyway, User:John Carter/Wikipedia:The Next Generation is a rough, and I mean rough, idea of some things which it might be possible to do which might make some things a bit better around here. Maybe. The downside is that, right now, the essay really is, well, bad. Any input anyone might want to make in maybe making it more useful and suitable for wikipedia space is more than welcome to make any changes which might help it be more fitting there. John Carter (talk) 20:22, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Northern Cyprus

Is Wikipedia:WikiProject Northern Cyprus an official Wikiproject? I noticed it while looking for one on the location, but it doesn't look like a real wikiproject. 76.66.194.212 (talk) 05:00, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, that's not really a WikiProject; it looks like someone tried to set one up but never followed through. Given that the creator is indefinitely blocked, I'd suggest we either redirect it to an existing project (if there is one covering the topic) or delete it; of course, if someone wants to take it under their wing and turn it into a real project, that would work too. Kirill [talk] [prof] 05:24, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There is Wikipedia:WikiProject Cyprus. -- Wavelength (talk) 05:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

-I think it would be better if it was redirected to Wikiproject:Cyprus since I don't see it going anywhere by itself. Wikiproject:Cyprus represents the country as a whole which is not that large of one so again, it would be better of if it was redirected to to Wikiproject: Cyprus. -- DubaiTerminator (talk) 06:53, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have turned the page in question into a redirect to WikiProject Cyprus. However, if the subject does ever become one in which multiple editors are interested in, it might make sense to create a subproject for Northern Cyprus. John Carter (talk) 18:41, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possible "annual meetings"

What would the rest of you think of the idea of maybe, perhaps starting in January?, having something like across-the-board "annual meetings" of editors to discuss how they would like to see the WikiProjects and related groups in their field go forward in the next year, perhaps discuss any new sources or developments in their fields which might not yet be completely reflected in the related content, discuss any problem areas of content, like areas of POV pushing or COI, which they might be able to address, and any other related issues? They might, potentially, be broken down into major topical headings, like maybe perhaps for the broad areas of Arts, Language and Literature, Philosphy & Religion, Economics and Business, Hobbies and recreation, Humanities, Science, Technology and Places, which are the current headings of Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/List of WikiProjects, and, perhaps if there is sufficient interest and related discussion, separate more focused discussion for those topics? John Carter (talk) 18:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're talking about some sort of on-wiki gathering, and not an actual face-to-face meeting? Kirill [talk] [prof] 20:37, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, probably something like special pages created explicitly for the purpose, maybe either subpages of the directly relevant WikiProjects if they exist or some sort of one-time group of wikipedia space pages specifically created. I would think that certain projects, maybe the more smoothly functioning ones, like Film and MILHIST, might not necessary need such pages, but a lot of the other projects, particularly those which are subtopics of the topics listed above, might benefit from getting a bit more focused attention on them, at least once a year. John Carter (talk) 20:46, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Canada

Can WPCanada just declare that related wikiproject banners (not WPCanada) should be removed without consulting with the subprojects? I noticed at WP:Montreal a change in our instructions that removed our banner from our own instructions and at template talk:WikiProject_Canada that the members of WPCanada want to eliminate our banner without consulting us about it. We have an open poll that shows disagreement on the issue, and were not even advised that our own instructions were being modified to eliminate our own banner from them. The change occurred during a raft of changes to update out of date info. 76.66.202.72 (talk) 07:41, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would think they should at least have the courtesy to mention it on the project's talk page.. a link to a discussion.. something. Instead of just going ahead unilaterally. -- Ϫ 07:01, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Could have just asked me directly what was going on! ...I was the one that did this..was not WPCanada as a whole. I see now i am mistaken in my actions to change the 3 templates. I was under the impression we were now using the WPCAnada banner as per what is here Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada/Assessment#Use of WikiProject Canada banner. There was no malice intent as indicated above. I came across this projects changed them thinking the projects were simply not updated . I have been making updates to all the Canada projects after making portals for the missing ones (So in the process i am adding the templates for the portals and well there adding {{Wikipedia policies and guidelines}} {{WikiProject Footer}}). I am more then willing to revert my self on this 3 pages and apologizes that my bold edits were not constructive. You will see at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Toronto#Project banner that i have no intent of them being deleted or unused, just though they were all in the process of being converted. Puzzled at y noone asked me directly - GF. Moxy (talk) 07:33, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Okay no biggie! :) Just would've appreciated some kind of notification beforehand that's all. -- œ™ 05:21, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
All my fault - Again sorry i misunderstood what was going on..You will see that i have done what you did - in that i have added back the old ones as see here and here (may want to c\e those).Moxy (talk) 05:24, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why is WPCanada saying what banners to use, as that WPCanada workpage clearly shows, without the consent of the Vancouver and Montreal wikiprojects, as clearly the poll at WPMontreal indicates? It looks like WPCanada is going through and eliminated banners without the consent of at least these two WikiProjects if not more. At WT:WikiProject United States WP Ontario Roads is indicated to also object to the replacement of their banner by WPCanada. 65.93.12.108 (talk) 06:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In short, I believe that to reduce clutter, there is no particularly good reason that can be put forward not to remove duplicate banners, to reduce the clutter on the article's talk page, if the banner in used can provide the same assessment information that the individual banners can. If it cannot, then that is different. Also, certainly, it would also be possible to reverse the removal of those banners. I think the best course to take would be to have a discussion on the Canada project's talk page about what advantages if any there are to the presence of the multiple banners. Speaking personally, however, if the banner includes a link to the more focused project visible in the banner, and the assessment information for the subprojects is also included, removing the duplication probably can be seen to make sense. The one exception I can clearly see would be if it can be demonstrated that the more focused project is currently demonstrably more active than the parent project. However, I do think that it would make most sense to discuss this on the Canada Project's talk page. John Carter (talk) 20:42, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Originally the problem was that the Canada banner was forcing the city projects to use the national importance rankings, which admittedly was problematic. That problem has been corrected, but a couple of anonymous users still prefer the city banners to be separate, although I'm no longer sure why. The users are right that there should be agreement from the regulars at the local wikiproject before starting any mass-replacement, but past discussions on the local wikiproject pages yielded little or no replies from anyone other than dynamic IPs. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 05:49, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Though the instructions at WikiProject Canada do say anything about duplicate banners, rather that any instance of the city banner could be replaced by the Canada banner. So if there was no Canada banner, the city banner could still be replaced with the Canada banner (no duplication present). That had not been discussed with the city based wikiprojects. 65.94.47.218 (talk) 08:18, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject English Hamlets

This has recently appeared and would appear to have been created out of process and with no indication of support. Not being active in Wikiprojects I have no idea how these things are normally dealt with so I thought I'd post here to see if someone more knowledgeable can take a look. Dpmuk (talk) 15:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lets assume good faith here and that is was done to help (not to many read the huge guide we have here first - before making projects). It looks like it was created by user with some experience. I personal think this should be more of a task forces then its own project. I would recommend that you mention this project at Wikipedia:WikiProject England and see if perhaps this could become a task force and or to ask the main project if its needed at all.Moxy (talk) 15:52, 2 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would appreciate more help with the project please Crouch, Swale talk to me My contribs 14:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The usual way to start a Wikipedia project is to ask a few people first whom you know are working on the very same kind of stuff ans see if they share your idea. Then, if they think it's a good idea, you have to go through the launch procedure and see if you can get enough people together to sign the proposal. It's quite a complicated process because it's designed to prevent projects being created willy-nilly - too many projects stagnate very quickly.--Kudpung (talk) 19:19, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It may be helpful to read the (long) WikiProject guide, which is linked in the template at the top of this page. And, to be honest, I'd probably merge it to WP:ENGLAND. One big project with a broad scope will be more successful than a proliferation of tiny projects that each take one piece of the puzzle. WhatamIdoing (talk) 23:04, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. Out of curiosity, what did you use as the criteria for "active" and "semi-active"? Kirill [talk] [prof] 05:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to see similar, periodically updated list of all WikiProjects by their activity, have a look at Wikipedia:Database reports/WikiProjects by changes. Svick (talk) 21:15, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maintaining inactive subpages of active WikiProjects

The page Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Strategy is inactive and I'd like to direct editors to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing where their posts are more likely to be read.

I'd like to create a version of Template:Historical (or modify it) to specify alternate discussion text/link and the name of the WikiProject.

Any suggestions on how to handle it? --Pnm (talk) 01:55, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you're looking specifically for a template-based approach, you could probably use {{WPMILHIST Archive}} as a model.
Having said that, unless there's some useful historical material to be retained, I'd suggest simply redirecting the page; that tends to cause less confusion than cross-links, and is a generally accepted practice within WikiProjects. Kirill [talk] [prof] 02:16, 7 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
