Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Prison Break task force

Taskforcify

It is believed that shows should no longer have their own WikiProjects. In order to benefit from existing infrastructure such as assessment, style guidlines. Bringing many shows together under an umbrella topic, will bring many reviewers with interests in television together, and allow them to easily see goings on such as peer reviews, featured content candidates etc. instead of trying to keep an eye on many different projects at once.

For these reasons I propose the following moves:

Wikipedia:WikiProject Prison Break — move to Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Prison Break as a task force.
Wikipedia:WikiProject Prison Break/Right panel — move to Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Prison Break/Right panel to keep existing structure
Wikipedia:WikiProject Prison Break/Left panel — move to Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Prison Break/Left panel to keep existing structure

Probably a good idea, and I'd support that. - NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 02:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support: But what is to become of this userbox, because I'd prefer it to stay. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 23:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm going to do a bold taskforcify of the wikiproject. Also for the template, I'd just keep it (I did for some of my other taskforcified wikiprojects). NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 23:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WOW effect !!!

Wooooooooww this project has matured a lot since the last time I was around. The movement to the task force was a good idea, but I thought someone should have sent me a message or something. No problem I saw it in my watchlist and am now very happy of the move as it has many positive outcomes. Anyway, the project became very great and I wanted also to congratulate you about the Prison Break (Season 2) article which became in just two months after creation a featured article. I certainly didn't think there would be that much dedication to the project as it seemed at first that the project was going down, with very few Members (me and Matthew R Dunn). The move from project to task force certainly flourished the project. So many congratulations for everyone especially Matthew R Dunn, NuclearWarfare and Everyoneandeveryone for creating Prison Break (season 1) and adding so many info to it and a very very special special congrats to Cornucopia who dedicated himself to bringing the season 2 article to FA. --Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 13:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the kind words. I guess we have been working hard. ;) I was coming here to suggest we create a "Featured content" section, a la Wikipedia:WikiProject Lost. I'll see what I can do. Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 05:51, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tried, and failed. I won't revert my edits, so that someone will hopefully see and fix my mistake. :) Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 06:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What did u fail in ?--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 10:01, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notice the templates at the bottom of the project page? I was hoping someone would fix the problem, as I do not know how to. Corn.u.co.pia • Disc.us.sion 13:42, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Episode merges

Some of you may probably think that I'll be the "Darth Vader" of Prison Break fans, but after an age old discussion here, I am going agead with merging the majority of episode articles, because more people seemed to be in favour of the merge rather than opposing it. Now don't worry, anyone could easily bring them back once they find more production and reception info. I have already expanded the synopsis on each other episode on season 1 and 3, so I can go ahead with merging the following articles over the next few days;

Believe me, it is a very hard decision to make, but after all it's better just to have a handful of good articles, than a hundred bad ones, like that phrase I heard oh so many times, "It's not the quantity, but the quality". If anyone wishes to improve some of the articles, then I'll be more than happy to not merge those articles. Thank you. Oh, and any input from others are welcome. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 01:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just hope this process actually encourages more work on the articles, rather than them being permanently redirected. I guess the focus now is on the season pages, but after they are done, I guess we can start on the individual pages. Corn.u.co.pia / Disc.us.sion 06:08, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As long as the season articles are written first, I'm perfectly happy with this. Most of the individual episodes, excluding the season primeres and finales, don't have enough notability. There are only a few, like Chicago (which I saw that you left out), that have received enough coverage to keep their own article. I think that keeping those would be fine, but that the rest should be merged permanently. NuclearWarfare ^{contact me}_{My work} 18:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could u give me a period of one week than merge please? And will u delete the pages or leave it's history? Because it has some good synopsises.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 19:23, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They'll be merged, not permenantly deleted, so the histories of everything done to the articles will remain intact should you feel the need to bring them back and work on them, or just read the past revisions (which I usually do after episode articles from other TV series' are merged). And don't worry, I'm not really in a hurry, you can have a week, or two. -- Matthew R Dunn (talk) 20:27, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge them please. I can't expand them a lot without the dvds commentaries. Just keep the history please cause they have good plot texts.--Diaa abdelmoneim (talk) 09:54, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prison Break GA Sweeps: On Hold

I have reviewed Prison Break for GA Sweeps to determine if it still qualifies as a Good Article. In reviewing the article I have found several issues, which I have detailed here. Since the article falls under the scope of this project, I figured you would be interested in contributing to further improve the article. Please comment there to help the article maintain its GA status. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Happy editing!

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) 03:48, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Updates to TV#MOS

I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized). Please see discussion at WT:MOSTV#Updates to the MOS. Thank you. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 22:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prison Break articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Prison Break articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

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) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
