Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site.

*], with complete travel reimbursements available for those who participate | |||
:In any case - can we be a bit more specific here? "The country projects" includes a whole 1.73 tons of articles, so trying to attack them all would probably be too much :) Are there one or two WikiProjects that specifically want help? I don't like to go in and just do a task without the WP's requesting it - too many toes stepped on, in my experience. But if you've discussed this with a particular project, I'll be glad to help! | |||
*], where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand | |||
*], which will feature at least one guest speaker, and possibly many more | |||
Although we also aren't hosting this year's Wikimania, we would like to let you know that Wikimania this year will be occurring in London in August: | |||
:And I just ran ] with a very similar project - reviewing all unassessed articles and tagging them when appropriate, including "averaging" ratings if different projects have rated differently. | |||
* | |||

:Also, your suggestion at the BotRFA page is ultimately easy. I can run a report like that for any WikiProject you choose - and may even be able to set it up so any user can run it whenever they want on whatever project they want.

::Well, I was coming at it from the POV of the Italy Project, where I've been trying to stir up some activity by doing 1000-odd assessments (and getting the completely Unassesseds is a reasonable goal). But via the Wine Project which is my 'home' project I get to see quite a lot of some of the country Projects, particularly France and Spain - and unlike your run-in with WP:CFB they're at a much earlier stage, where they've still got 1000's of articles still to asssess and won't notice more coming in. ;-/ Mebbe the way to do it is to start with the <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>-to-class=Stub thing, and then expand into the adding new articles thing that some people find more controversial. I must admit that personally I think it's much more important to get articles within Projects for further handling by specialists than worrying about the downside, particularly the Projects that are relatively undeveloped - again the Companies Project is a good example. I was thinking it might be better if you go and advertise your services as you know exactly what you can and can't do, but I'm happy to mention it on the Spain and France projects. | |||

::But in general, there's tons of work for you to do on all the Country Projects, even if it is just the stub assessment thing, it's more a question of your time and resources for doing it than a lack of demand. Just doing one-off runs would be very, very useful I feel. | |||
::And perhaps the best way to convince people of the "new article" feature would be to do a dummy run that just produces a list of articles that could be tagged? If you're doing it off the database dump (are you - or live?) then it's a relatively "cheap" (in resource terms) way of doing things that would allow Project members to see whether the bot is appropriate for their Project. | |||
::As for my bot - yes I know it's easy, it's within my PHP skills ;-/ so it can't be that complicated. I just thought it might be a good bot to cut my teeth on, easy but hopefully fulfilling a real need. Cheers ] (]) 17:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
== New England Wikimedians summer events! == | |||
:::Please do mention it. I've been reluctant to "advertise" because I've only just completed a major rewrite of the bot that fits it into the api.php system rather than the query.php system. See . As I get some more experience and iron out a few little bugs, I'm going to publish the code OpenSource (so you're welcome to play around with it) and see if I can get some of these functions placed on the ToolServer, available for any WikiProject. | |||
:::Thanks again for your info - and let me know if you want WPWine in on any of the "services" - for my projects, I find the "To-do list" function to be extremely valuable. And I just set up WPBiography to use it, so I'm pretty happy about that :) -- <span style="background: #EECCFF;">] <small>(] / ])</small></span> 17:58, 13 February 2008 (UTC) | |||
::::Cool - sounds like I'll hold off on the France and Spain requests until you're a bit more ready. Wine is ready to go, would probably make quite a nice test Project as it's not that big but a reasonable size, and quite active, so someone will probably notice any screwups. Sorry, I mean compile beta-testing reports. ;-/ Both a todo list and new articles by report would be nice for the Wine Project, but only when you're ready - probably just as a one-off for the moment, and then we'll see what the opinion of it is. Then you might want to go on to our parent project, Food and drink - far less active, quite a bit bigger and in worse shape. I've requested Wine and Italy over on the bot's request page BTW. | |||
::::From my own POV, it would be great if you could assess any Italy stubs ASAP, as I've set myself a little task of trying to clear the Italy Unassesseds - if you run WPBot1.0 after your run, we hopefully won't trip over each other. | |||
::::Brave man releasing your bot into the wild - I guess one major issue will be ensuring that ordinary Joes use full cats, otherwise if you think you've been copping some flak from Projects so far.... Cheers. ] (]) 19:01, 13 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

Satyr, can you point me in the right direction? I've followed every "video" link I can find on WP and can't find any discussion of when video is ''appropriate''. Someone deleted a lot of video links from ] and a couple of us are discussing on the talk page what to do about it. I'm inclined to let the deletion stand, and delete the rest besides, on the grounds that they are clearly produced as promotional videos, and because images could tell exactly the same story, with less bandwidth, and in an easier-to-patrol-for-spam fashion. Surely these issues have been discussed before, I'm surprised I can't find it. - Dan ] (]) 21:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

Dear SatyrTN, | |||
You deleted the Zoe Gustaves article because of apparent copyright infringement. Permission had been obtained although no notice of that fact was included with the article. My fault. A permission notice has since been added to the website source (please see ), and I did attempt to add this notice to the article, but it had already been deleted before I could do so. | |||
I appreciate the standard set for Misplaced Pages and have tried, and will always try, to comply with that standard. In light of permission having been granted for the Misplaced Pages article and notice of this fact published by the source, I hope you will consider returning the Zoe Gustaves article to Misplaced Pages. | |||

Hi Satyr, | |||
This is the ] I was following in removing the disambiguation links: | |||
:''While there is no specific prohibition against it, adding disambiguation links to a page with a name that clearly distinguishes itself from the generic term is discouraged. For example, ] is clearly about one specific movie and not about any of the many other meanings of "Solaris". It is very unlikely that someone arriving there would have been looking for any other "Solaris", so it is unnecessary to add a link pointing to the ] disambiguation page. However, it would be perfectly appropriate to add a link to ] (but not, say, ]) to its "See also" section.'' | |||
Please let me know if you have any further concerns. | |||

Currently, it redirects to the list, however the character is not actually on the list, and his image keeps getting tagged for deletion as it's orphaned etc. It's been tagged for deletion three times now due to all this changing around, and my page keeps getting spammed with image warnings, so I brought the issue up here ].

Great thanks. I think a weekly run would be ok since it seems to be so fast on the maintenance runs rather than the first run. However, I was wondering if I commented out the template, would the bot recognise that the template was there and not add it? The reason I ask is that there are a few cats where there are one or two false positives and I don't want to get into a weekly rv war with the bot. I wonder if a commented out template would be recognised by the bot as "already there" so that the false positive won't be activated. Thanks, ''']''' ('']'') 02:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC) | |||

:It sounds like your project is a tad different, since you've got some parameters that are going to be different depending on the categories. My initial reaction is that your best bet is to pull together categories in groups related to what parameters you want. For example: | |||

Administrators' newsletter – December 2024
News and updates for administrators from the past month (November 2024).
Interface administrator changes
- Following an RFC, the policy on restoration of adminship has been updated. All former administrators may now only regain the tools following a request at the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard within 5 years of their most recent admin action. Previously this applied only to administrators deysopped for inactivity.
- Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, T5, has been enacted. This applies to template subpages that are no longer used.
- Technical volunteers can now register for the 2025 Wikimedia Hackathon, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey. Application for travel and accommodation scholarships is open from November 12 to December 10, 2024.
- The arbitration case Yasuke (formerly titled Backlash to diversity and inclusion) has been closed.

News and updates for administrators from the past month (December 2024).
- Following an RFC, Misplaced Pages:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.
- The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.
