| ==Literature awards: Please contribute to a discussion about awards lists== | |||
| A proposal (at ]) has been made to merge ] into ]. The discussion has been broadened in an attempt to get opinions on several proposals for improving poetry awards articles (mostly made up of lists of awards). But poetry awards articles aren't much different from literary awards articles, and the same standards or guidelines (or perhaps just suggestions) should apply to all literary awards. There's also a question about how to organize the growing number of literary awards articles. Currently there is no one page for all literary awards, although ] has a good-sized list, and "Category:Literary awards" exists. | |||
| Incidentally, the lists of award winners are slowly being cross indexed with the " in literature" articles (example: ]), and together with the biographies of writers on Misplaced Pages, this project could soon produce the best site on the Web for anyone researching or even just browsing literary award winners. For people searching for a book to read and looking for clues as to who the better authors are, this could be very useful. | |||

| == Book cover replacement project == | |||
| (Sorry for some cross-posting, but I'm hoping to get the word out.) I've started ], which used to be in my user space, as a project to replace ] images of old books with ] ones. All of these images are affected by the replaceable clause of the ] policy, so this is a crucial task. We've gotten a lot done while it was in user space but there's still a lot of work to be done, so please come lend a hand. Every replacement advertises the project, so even doing one or two will help. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! ] 21:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC) | |||
| == Policy re: using "year in literature" linking. == | |||
| ''I originally posted this at ], but though subsequent questions have attracted a fair bit of comment, nobody seems to have a view on this. Can anyone here help?...'' | |||
| I was planning on working through our articles on writers. I was going to use those 'year in literature links', eg ], but with a pipe, so that just the year appears, eg ]. | |||
| I felt that this would be an especially useful thing to do for the year of publication of a writer's works, since clicking then brings up other works released that year. And if you use such links for dates of birth and death, clicking brings up other writers born/deceased in those years. | |||
| However, I figured I'd better check I was doing the right thing. I started out by looking at two literature ]; ] and ]. Neither of those articles seem to favour linking the years ''at all'', let alone specifically. | |||
| I checked out the relevant bit of the style guide: ], but that doesn't seem to help on this point. | |||
| == Refs == | |||
| Any advice? I'm rather keen on my approach, but I'm made uncertain by looking at the Featured Articles. --] 20:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| :Well, great minds think alike. I've been doing the same thing linking poets articles with with years-in-poetry pages although if I come across a writer who is both a poet and a playwright, or novelist, or short story writer, any years for those books I link to the years in literature pages. I absolutely think that the birth and death years should be linked to literature except for those who are best known for their poetry — for people reading articles on authors these literature and poetry pages are much more useful than are the general year pages. These years-in pages also have links to the general year articles (generally). These years in literature and years in poetry articles have been expanding recently, and I don't think the style guides have caught up with that. Thanks for doing it and please continue. And please consider poetry links for poetry — every year since 1800 is now represented, and a good number before that, which is continuing to expand (see ] ] 19:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC) | |||

| == A possibly useful external link for articles on Poets. == | |||
| == Selected biographies: BLP auto-updates == | |||
| See http://de.wikipedia.org/lyrikline.org. There was briefly an article here on lyrikline.org, it was speedy deleted under a mistaken impression that the user who created it was affiliated with the site, due to having taken a user name here of ] (i.e., "poet."). I have had the article userfied, it's now at ]. Currently the site is blacklisted due to alleged linkspam, which consisted simply of several editors (at least two, apparently) adding many links to articles on poets pointing to the poets' pages on lyrikline. The only wiki which currently permits links to lyrikline.org, as far as I can tell, is de.wikipedia, and they have experienced no linkspamming since they whitelisted it, according to ], who is admin on both de and en.wikipedia, but they do have the link in many articles on poets, and the links are stable without apparent controversy. I would like the opinion of en.wikipedia editors involved with articles on notable poets to consider the usefulness of this site, it seems to meet the general guidelines for external links. It's non-commercial, with support from reputable individuals and institutions. It is nearly certain that it has permission to host all that it hosts. For each poet included, it has text, audio files of the poet reading, generally contributed by the poets, a bibliography, and a biography. Given that it is an edited source with inclusion standards, it should be considered a reliable source, and would also show notability. It is multilingual, so, for many different languages, one can read the original language, hear the poet reading the work, and read translations. I can't link to it here, because of the blacklist, but the de.wikipedia article has a link at the bottom. | |||

| If there are a few editors who consider the site usable, it should be possible to get specific pages whitelisted, even if the whole site remains blacklisted. However, there really isn't any reason I've been able to find for continuing the blacklisting; if a number of pages are whitelisted, and especially if the article is undeleted (as I consider likely, I'll inform this page of deletion review when it comes up), it should be fairly easy to either get the whole site whitelisted here, or delisted on meta, where the global blacklist is maintained. --] (]) 22:14, 10 February 2009 (UTC) | |||

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:36, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
Selected biographies: BLP auto-updates
I've changed the BLP selected biographies to use automated transclusion from the relevant article, see e.g. Portal:Literature/Selected biography/24. The reason for that is so we don't forget to update them when something major happens (say, they die or receive the Nobel Prize). I haven't touched the extracts for dead people. —Kusma (t·c) 10:53, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
