Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations

This WikiProject is defunct.
Consider looking for related projects for help or ask at the Teahouse.

If you feel this project may be worth reviving, please discuss with related projects first. Feel free to change this tag if the parameters were changed in error.

All nominations after March 3rd, 2011 are being considered for Version 0.9. We are still preparing templates and pages for the next release, but if you wish to make a nomination you may use follow the guidelines below for the time being.

Here, we determine which entries will compose the next offline Release Version, as part of the overall project of producing a fixed version of Wikipedia. This could be released on CD, DVD, paper, or some combination. Nominations here are ongoing, for whichever version is planned next, and nominations will be moved over to the next version page when it becomes available. Links that have a strikethrough are unavailable/defunct at present.

The upcoming release is called Version 0.9, and selection work has begun, using SelectionBot for the bulk of the selection work.
Before making any nomination, please check the bot selection for Version 0.8 to see if the article has already been chosen. We apologize for the inconvenient format at present.

In order to nominate groups of articles, use the set nominations page.

These entries will be selected based on importance and quality.

Nomination categories

Eligibility for inclusion in the next Release Version

As of September 2011, this has yet to be decided.

Entries that are nominated will then be considered for inclusion on releases of Wikipedia the next offline release version of Wikipedia, as outlined below. Previous offline releases include:

Test Version, 2000 articles, released in January 2006.
Wikipedia:Version 0.5 (released in April 2007)
Wikipedia:Version 0.7 (released at the beginning of 2010)
Wikipedia:Version 0.8 (released in March 2011)

If you nominate something you have worked on, note it as a self-nomination. You may wish to receive feedback from your WikiProject before nominating an article here, or you may wish to list it at Wikipedia:Peer review. If the article is of high quality, you may want to nominate it for Featured article status.

The approval process

The approval process is designed to be simple, as is appropriate for a test release. Approval will simply involve one member of the editorial team reviewing the article using the criteria outlined above. The reviewer must not have been a major contributor to the article. You may sign up as a reviewer for the team here. If there are quality objections raised, the nomination will be removed from this list and archived. Once the objections have been addressed, you are encouraged to renominate the article. Articles deemed by the team to fail only on the criterion of "importance" will be listed at the held nominations page, for consideration in later releases. Articles that are approved will automatically be submitted for future general releases.

Yes - New school hip hop looks like a nice choice. A bit low on External Interest, but that's partly because other languages probably include much of the content within their main Hip hop articles. Added. Walkerma (talk) 18:20, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Television New Zealand (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) New Zealand's top free-to-air television corporation~~ wwe socks^sign 07:40, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

~~The only one that seems to look suitable is Television New Zealand~~, which is B-Class and has decent external interest scores. The "Television in New Zealand" article would be great to include if it were a stronger article; I reassessed it up from Stub to Start, but it still has some way to go before we can include it. The other two stations score only poorly for external interest. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 18:02, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just looked at the Television New Zealand properly, and saw that it is filled with cleanup tags. It does indeed look quite weak, so I don't want to include it until the cleanup has been done. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 18:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bluey (2018 TV series) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) FA-Class.

Everyday Life

Food and drink

Oups, this package of WikiProject Wine articles (selected according to the criteria for context, relevance and article quality) was originally intended to be submitted before the deadline! Sorry about that.

OK, I've looked over all of these, for the "late add" section. I picked a few, mainly (a) articles good for context or (b) articles where the assessment was either updated since the bot, or if it seemed a bit out of date. I didn't just add articles without some compelling reason, though - things like the Alsace and Languedoc ones would be nice additions, but many projects could add similar articles, and that would bloat the list too much. Many of these could make it onto the next selection, though, particularly if Starts/Cs become Bs, and Bs become GAs or FAs. Thanks for taking the time to nominate these! Walkerma (talk) 09:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewed thoroughly for Version 0.8.

Wine-related articles about basic aspects of wine and wine production, to provide context for many other articles

Appellation d'origine contrôlée (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Start/High. Important subject for all articles on French wine, comparisons to French wine, and wine classification. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Not approved: Still looks like a poorly referenced start; it really needs to be better quality to make it into Version 0.8. Can you try to improve the article? Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fermentation (wine) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) B/High. A major subject for explaining the production process of wine. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Approved: Agreed this is a useful general article, quite good quality even though it has a importance "score". Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
History of wine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) C/High. A major subject for completeness and general interest. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Approved: As with the fermentation one, a good article on a major overview topic. Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Terroir (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) C/High. A major subject of great contemporary interest, context for many other articles. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Approved: Agreed. This may just squeeze into the autoselection for 0.8 anyway, but I'll add it in manually just in case. Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Varietal (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Self-nomination! Start/High. A major subject to provide context. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Not approved: Listed now as C, but looks more like a Start to me. Close, but not quite enough to get into Version 0.8. Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Vintage (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Start/High. A major subject for completeness and context.

Viticulture (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) C/High, assessment improved since bot run. A major article providing basic information on production of wine. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Approved: Already autoselected, I believe. Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Wine fault (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) GA/High. A major subject and of general interest. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)~~ Approved: Although perhaps a bit specialist, it is a nice article that could give some useful context. Walkerma (talk) 22:57, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on major wine styles

Fortified wine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Start/High. A major wine style and context for several other articles. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) Already autoselected by bot. Walkerma (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Madeira wine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) B/High, assessment improved since bot run. A classical wine style and of great historical significance.

Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)~~ Would be nice, but WAY too low scoring on the importance scale. Walkerma (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Rosé (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Start/High. A major wine style, for completeness. Tomas e (talk) 10:24, 21 October 2008 (UTC)~~ Agreed; scores just below the threshold, but seems reasonable for completeness. Walkerma (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on wine-producing countries and regions

American wine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) C/Top. The 4th largest wine producing country of the world, a natural inclusion. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

South African wine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Start/Top. A major producing country with large export presence. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) All fall well below the importance threshold, I'm afraid. Walkerma (talk) 01:24, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on wine-producing regions

Alsace wine (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) Self-nomination! B/High. A classical and rather notable French region. Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) [reply]

Tomas e (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) All of these articles are a bit too specialised for inclusion in Version 0.8, which is a general release.

Sports

Rodeo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) WPEQ mid, B-class, Polo, Horse racing, Fox hunting and Show jumping are all already on the list and rodeo is, arguably, of equal importance to Polo and Fox Hunting, plus of better quality.

Dweller (talk) 10:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC) Approved Score is just below the cutoff, but I know this was important, and I'm happy to accept a borderline-scoring FA recommended by the project. Walkerma (talk) 02:50, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Graeme Pollock (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) No South African cricketer currently under consideration. Cricket WikiProject has worked hard to speedily improve the article for this purpose. Dweller (talk) 10:36, 11 November 2008 (UTC) Unfortunately, Pollock doesn't rank high enough in importance to come close - only an FA on this topic could be considered.[reply]
History of World Wrestling Entertainment (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) The history of the biggest pro wrestling company in the world. wwe socks^sign 07:46, 15 May 2009 (UTC) Scores low on importance, and only a Start, unfortunately.

~~Malolos City (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)~~ The cradle of democracy in East Asia, the capital city of the province of Bulacan and is the capital of the First Philippine Republic.

~~Indiana class battleship (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)~~ - the first real class of American battleships.

~~Design 1047 battlecruiser (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)~~ - plan for a class of of Dutch battlecruisers just before WWII.

I enjoyed reading these articles, which are clearly of high quality, but they're just too specialized for a collection of limited size like 0.8. (BTW - My Dad (British) was on a Dutch ship in WW2, in the Merchant Navy.) Thanks, anyway! Walkerma (talk) 03:17, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All of the above were autoselected, with the exception of Horse care. That article does give a very good overview of many horse-related topics - we like such overview articles in these selections! Also, the scoring is lowered by the fact that other languages cover the topic in other articles; the number of hits on the page is quite respectable. Therefore Horse care has been added.

Bergson, Schopenhauer and Heidegger were autoselected. The others all suffer from being Start-class - they seem to be important topics, but need some cleanup. Could you work on them before we do Version 1.0 next year? In the end I did not include Kyoto School or Taylor, because of low external interest scoring, but I added Weil and Being & Time. Many thanks (belatedly!), Walkerma (talk) 04:05, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Murder of Amanda Dowler (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)/s> High profile unsolved English child murder case. Child murder in England is exceptionally rare and is still talked about in the media 6 years later .--Lucy-marie (talk) 11:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult one! It has a very low external interest score, but that's largely because it is mainly of interest to English-speaking people; the number of page hits isn't really high, but it is consistently several thousand a month, with occasional spikes. There were 4300 hits in one day, on the day Bellfield was charged. Normally I'd exclude this as too specialised, but with the trial next year it may have a resurgence in interest - and that is the reason I want to add it. I don't expect it to be in releases in 2012 onwards, but for now we should include it. Thanks, Walkerma (talk) 16:43, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
