Portals WikiProject update #022, 11 Nov 2018[edit]
Welcome AmericanAir88[edit]
Give a hearty welcome to AmericanAir88, who has adopted working on portals as one of his main purposes on Wikipedia. So far, he has created the following portals:
Way to go!
Where's Evad?[edit]
Evad disappeared from Wikipedia on October 18.
He has been, and will continue to be, sorely missed.
Hopefully, he is okay, on a Caribbean cruise or something.
The conversion continues[edit]
Portals of the old design, are slowly but surely being converted to the new single-page design.
One factor that has slowed things down is that for many sections, the section header call and section contents call are integrated into a template and buried in a lua module, locking them in on each portal. They have been that way for years.
This means that these sections can't be directly edited like the other sections on the same portal. So, search/replaces affect all the sections except those. So, upgrading headers on these portals, for example, misses the integrated sections and inadvertently results in 2 different header colors.
Before we can continue with the upgrade of these portals, the headers and section contents calls need to be restored to each portal, so that those can be edited in concert with the other sections on the portal, and worked on independently of each other.
This is underway, with a solution implemented on about 1/4 of the affected portals so far. Around 300 of them. The remaining 900 should be done within a couple weeks or so.
Going wide...[edit]
We now have banner-shaped pictures included in the introduction sections of 180 portals. The rarity of such pictures has made it difficult to find suitably narrow images for display across the tops of portals.
We have a solution for this, courtesy of FR30799386...
Most pictures are not banner-shaped. But, you can still use them as banners. Here's how:
{{Portal image banner|File:Blueberries .jpg |maxheight=120px |overflow=Hidden }}
Using both maxheight=120px and overflow=Hidden produces this:
Project's status[edit]
There are now 4,140 portals, with more being created almost daily. Prior to this project's reboot, portals were created at about the rate of 80 per year. Since April of this year, we've created about 2,600 new portals, or 32.5 years' worth at the old rate.
Of those new portals, about 3/4 of them need links leading to them. Almost all of them are linked to from the category system, but they still need links in article see also sections, at the bottom of navigation templates, and on the main portals list at Portal:Contents/Portals.
Of the 1500 portals created before the reboot, about 300 have been completely converted to the new design so far. About 1100 more have been partially converted, with intros, image slideshows, and associated wikimedia sections getting the most attention.
Discussion has resumed on the portal guidelines.
Until next issue...[edit]
See ya round the portal system! — The Transhumanist 11:41, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
Piraya Film AS, draft entry[edit]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft%3APiraya_Film
This draft has been disapproved again. I do not understand what qualifies this text as an "advertisement". Is it the sentence regarding awards? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.220.108.198 (talk) 16:08, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
- Yes. It is. Also how the draft is currently mostly a list of what the film company has produced. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 16:11, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Piraya_Film[edit]
I have for several months been trying to create a Wikipedia article about the documentary film production company Piraya Film.
I have entered COI information that I am employed by Piraya Film.
I have also tried to write/edit this article in a neutral tone. The article contains facts about the company: What it is doing, where it is situated, who the owners are, what film titles the company has produced and coproduced. The article also contains links to external sources with information about Piraya Film and/or the films Piraya Film has produced.
Yet the article keeps getting rejected by Wikipedia for being "more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia"
I would like to get concrete feedback with regards to what needs to be removed/edited from this article draft for it to be approved by Wikipedia moderators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oddleiv Vik (talk • contribs) 10:51, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
- @Oddleiv Vik: Hello. You need to show that the film studios are notable. Just because they have produced several films which have received awards, does not mean that the film studio is notable enough for a article. You will need to find and use sources that show that the film notable enough. You may want to look at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Also you have placed a large number of sources at the bottom of the page, but you don't then use these to expand the text at the top of the article, which makes it hard to establish notability. You should put certain awards which make a film studio notable in the article (and not "several awards"). Also using inline citations makes it easier to ensure what you write is supported by reliable and independent sources. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 12:09, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:14 (Charli XCX album).jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:14 (Charli XCX album).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:41, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
