Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Misplaced Pages:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Misplaced Pages talk:Article alerts.

Jim Cramer

The CNBC commentator has been ripped widely, perhaps deservedly, but should more than half his frequently vandalized bio consist of criticism/controversy? Perhaps it should, but neutral editors may want to give it a going-over. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 15:44, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't believe it should. This violates WP:POV. The article for Jim Cramer has been repeatedly vandalized and I myself have tried cleaning it up. The problem is there are many individuals who seem to throw their weight around in Jim Cramer's article, refusing to remove or allow the removal of POV-only sections. In my opinion, the article should be deleted and re-created, because while more than half of it is criticism, only a small portion in the other half are balancing the majority POV sections. Since deleting it is unlikely, I can try (again) to neutralize the strong POV sections. Tycoon24 (talk) 00:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Columbia City Paper

Does anyone in this WikiProject want to try and improve the Columbia City Paper article? The article seems to mainly exist for two anonymous editors to battle over who started the paper. There is no notability formally established. - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 00:22, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I am thinking about nominating this article for deletion. Anyone up for improving it before that happens? - ¢Spender1983 (talk) 03:37, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Newspaper articles

Asking mostly out of curiousity — are members of this project actively picking away at the redlinks listed at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/List_of_US_Newspapers? It seems as though very little progress has been made given how long the list has been active. Just wondering whether it's not even known to enough of the right people, or should that particular project be marked historical? Mlaffs (talk) 15:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

i just started on Alabama's list added The Daily Home and added the publication date established cat to all the Alabama newspapers already on wikipedia. I'm going to start knocking out the ones i can find on google. Most sadly though will be just small stubs since most of the smaller papers publish little about themselves online surprisinglyTrey (talk) 05:47, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

merger discussion of Corante and Coranto

I haven't a clue - but others can discuss here at Talk:Corante Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:16, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Hard to assess, as neither article has that many sources. Cirt (talk) 17:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Reassessment of Al Jazeera

I am writing to notify the project that the GA Al Jazeera has been reviewed as part of the GA sweeps and found to need some work to maintain its GA status. The review can be found here. I am holding the article for a week pending work that needs to be done. If work is not completed then it will be delisted. If you have any questions you can contact me on my talk page.

If anyone can find reliable resources for this, it would be nice; I hate to delete articles about newspapers. - Dank (push to talk) 14:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Progress of resolution of naming issue for placenames in Israel and Palestine

In relation to remedy 13.1 of Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/West Bank - Judea and Samaria,
I have requested an update on progress at:

Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Israel_Palestine_Collaboration/Placename_guidelines#Current_status

for the proposed guidelines currently located at:

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Israel Palestine Collaboration/Placename guidelines. Casliber (talk · contribs) 00:52, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Update

Voting or commenting on each segment of the Proposed guidelines in relation to remedy 13.1 of the recently closed West Bank - Judea and Samaria arbitration case. Please comment here on preferred usage in the West Bank/Judea and Samaria area, to determine consensus by July 13th 2009.

The more comments/votes/consensus, the better. We really need to firm up consensus by community input into some of these areas to reduce the drain on admin and editor resources in policing naming disputes. Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Reassessment of the Public Ledger article?

Hi everyone. I've been working on expanding the article for the Philadelphia Public Ledger newspaper. Of course there is still more to do, particularly on the Public Ledger Building, but I think we've made enough progress to warrant a reassessment from STUB stage to something else. Could someone take a look at it and update the assessment? Thanks! pmcyclist (talk) 23:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Request for article on Project Tandem

I'm trying to follow the guidelines to a T, so here goes: I'm a co-founder of this project, Project Tandem and I requested an article be written on the project under Journalists and Journalism, Non-People Topics. The guidelines said to follow up with that request here. I added several independent publication links that profile Project Tandem and hope one (or more) of you wonderful editors/authors might be interested in writing an entry. Thank you so much. Please let me know if anything here is out of line- I really respect Misplaced Pages and the work that is done here and don't want to hinder it in any way! Thank you!

Gordon Brown GAR notification

Gordon Brown has been nominated for a good article reassessment. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good article quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Reviewers' concerns are here.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 06:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Project banner on categories

Does this project place its banner on the category talkpages as well? As an example, should the Category:Newspapers published in India and all its subcategories be tagged with the banner on their respective talkpages? --Siddhant (talk) 11:26, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Matt Sanchez

Sorry, I was trying to do an AGF rollback with an edit summary rather than the standard rollback. An IP just added some information about that article to our project page, and I reverted, on the theory that people should read the ArbCom case first (see the talk page of the article) to know what they're getting into. The article is still under probation, which means we shouldn't be trying to argue the merits of his case on project pages ... keep it to the talk page of that article, please. - Dank (push to talk) 13:08, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Grief porn

This discussion might be of interest to members of this project. Tim Vickers (talk) 16:21, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Notability question

I'm active on the Greek organization project page and usually those keep me pretty busy but i noticed one day that my hometown newspaper was not listed on wikipedia. I created that article and stumbled across the list of newspapers needing created this project maintains. I would like to help and create some for the Alabama. I wanted to ask about notability though since this is always a issue in my little wiki corner. By simply existing and having some circulation is a newspaper or magazine considered notable for Misplaced Pages and thus suitable for its on wikipedia page? I ask because info on some of these papers like say Daily Mountain Eagle is very limited and or hard to come by. I really want to make sure i don't stub up several of these papers and then get drawn into an argument with some Deletionist on a subject that I'm not very well versed in. Any guidance here? Thanks in advanceTrey (talk) 06:14, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

The article Glenwood Herald has been nominated for deletion. I'm not an expert on journalism articles on Misplaced Pages, but I thought that your project might be interested in improving the article and/or providing rationale for deletion.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:15, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
