WikiProject Women

Hi, I see you recently joined Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red. I've made a proposal to merge this project into Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Women in Red, so we can not only cover missing articles but focus on general quality of women's biographies. If interested please put your name down on the WP:Women page at the bottom.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

WikiProject Women in Technology - Tech LadyMafia

Hi Harej, Apologies for the interruption. I was reading through the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Technology page & noticed your comments beside the link to Tech LadyMafia. I would like to volunteer to make some improvements to the Article, and hopefully move it up from the current stub status. I am thinking that it would be good to have some information on the organisation's goals, methods, etc. And potentially an indication of the number of members. Would you have any sources that I should look at? I will, of course, do my own searching as well. - Ryk72 00:58, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello Ryk72! Unfortunately I don't know of any good sources off the top of your head. Best of luck writing the article. Harej (talk) 18:27, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #169

[REDACTED]
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. Read the full report · Unsubscribe · John F. Lewis 19:29, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Speaking of WikiProject Assessment

Did you know that this existed? I was unaware that there were assessment help scripts (been doing it manually for years, or with AWB). Sadads (talk) 13:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

If it was automatically paired with this gadget and deployed to all new users, with some information about WikiProjects, you would get an influx of people both able to participate, and aware of their existence :P Sadads (talk) 13:28, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
That exists along with a gadget User:Kaldari created. It is worth looking into creating a comprehensive WikiProject gadget for doing stuff. Harej (talk) 18:39, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
Definitely within your scope :P Though thats another bit of work, isn't it :) Sadads (talk) 13:17, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
And yet another interesting tool User:LivingBot/ProjectSignup, Sadads (talk) 19:52, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Tracking edit-a-thon edits

I'm acting as the technical adviser to a local museum which is planning to hold an edit-a-thon and one of the organizers, who are both WP newcomers, had seen a reference that someone with your RW name had a way of tracking edits or articles created at a 'thon. Was that you and if so, what was it? Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 21:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

TransporterMan, I recommend creating a Google form to collect the usernames and then running the usernames through Herding Sheep. There is also a very powerful analytics tool called Wikimetrics though it is not all that user friendly. Harej (talk) 22:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Just a comment that I too am going to be working on an editathon at a local museum also! @TransporterMan: I think your museum and mine have a mutual interest in the artwork of C.M. Russell. We should talk. I can also access the C. M. Russell Museum Complex on a day trip... hmm. I smell a collaboration idea... Montanabw 00:08, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Copyright violations module for wikiprojects

@Harej and Doc James:, as we discussed in Wikimania about wikiproject module for copyright violations, there is now infrastructure for getting the last suspected edits:

What do you think of creating a wikiproject module with top 5 or top 10 edits referring to this page? We can consider to try it in WikiMed project as "Eating your own dog food". Eran (talk) 19:05, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Sure. Lets add it to WP:MED. We would like the 10 number. Would be nice to allow different WP to set the number differently. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:00, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #170

[REDACTED]
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • Successful request for oversight rights: Sjoerddebruin
  • Events/Blogs/Press
    • Wikimedia UK is organizing a Wikidata training session. You can sign up here.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Talk pages on Wikidata can now be converted to use Flow. You can request migrating your talk page at d:Wikidata:Flow.
    • Mix-n-Match got a bunch of new catalogs for you to match up with Wikidata. Currently matching is happening at about 500 items per day. Pretty sweet :)
    • @happybirthdayauthors is a new Twitter account posting reading suggestions based on Wikidata data.
    • Arbitrary access is rolling out to a large number of wikis over the next two weeks.
    • Duplicity can help you match up unlinked Misplaced Pages articles to a Wikidata item.
  • Did you know?
  • Development
    • Made some small changes to the style of the edit warning and sitelinks so they are easier to notice and understand
    • Added error messages for Special:GoToLinkedPage and Special:ItemByTitle so you get a useful message in case no result is found
    • The Entity Selector now displays alias in brackets behind label
    • The number of entities loaded via the {{#property:…}} parser function and via Lua will be reported in the “Parser profiling data” (which can be found below a page preview or within the Html of a page)
    • Prepared for next rounds of arbitrary access rollout
    • Investigated growing lag of dispatching of changes to Misplaced Pages and co. We'll need to investigate further and change things so the lag between an edit on Wikidata and it being send to the Wikipedias and other projects is not too high.
    • Added the property ID to Special:ListProperties
    • Moved two extensions (Wikidata.org and WikimediaBadges) from Github to Gerrit. More will follow.
    • We'd like to drop a database table. Discussion is ongoing.
  • Monthly Tasks
    • Hack on one of these.
    • Help develop the next summary here!
    • Contribute to a Showcase item
    • Help translate or proofread pages in your own language!
    • Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.
