Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Science Policy

Hello!

Hi, it's Elysia--formerly with Wiki Education! Nice to see some familiar usernames here, and continued engagement with Wikipedia! I know a fair amount about WikiProjects and template syntax, so I moved your participants to the participants tab and transcluded that page to your main page. That way, participants sign up at the participants tab and it will automatically be reflected on the main page. Feel free to undo if not helpful :) and best of luck with your work!

Advancement of Sound Science Center

Advancement of Sound Science Center has been added to this project. But the name is camouflage. It was not actually concerned about sound science, but about research results which are bad for the profits of its sponsors. I don't know if that qualifies it for this project... --Hob Gadling (talk) 07:10, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After a second look at the page, you're right. I read through it quickly, but should have paid attention to the "industry-funded" portion of that article. Thanks for pointing that out! Lightning1115 (talk) 04:24, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Peer review update

Hi all, Tom here - I am the main maintainer for peer review. I have updated your page "Wikipedia:WikiProject Science Policy/Peer Review" which previously copied instructions from WP:PR/Instructions. Those instructions are updated and changed over time, and likely to further change in the future - so if the instructions are copied it's likely to be outdated and inaccurate and require some maintenance. Instead, I've updated the page with a short description and encouraged editors to go to the main venue.

In the future (I'm a bit swamped at present) I will look into a way of tracking peer reviews by project, so that your project can also have a list of active / past peer reviews. Cheers --Tom (LT) (talk) 01:34, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
