Textiles

I tagged Textile preservation for your new project. Hope it fits! - PKM (talk) 21:18, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great! Thank you and sorry I accidentally overlooked it :) AngelKelley (talk) 22:18, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Inactive Status

RichardMcCoy, I just wanted to let you know I received a notification that the WikiProject category listing has been changed to "inactive." Once the final projects for class start coming in this wont be true, but I wasn't sure if you wanted to revert the change now or not. -AngelKelley (talk) 14:26, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to Category:WikiProject Collections Care

I've added {{Wikipedia category}} and removed the articles from Category:WikiProject Collections Care. Article talk pages which have {{WikiProject Collections Care}} on them will appear in Category:WikiProject Collections Care articles and/or one or more if its sub-categories. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 00:48, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

OK to create a redirect from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Heritage_Science ?

I was hoping that a Wikipedia:WikiProject_Heritage_Science might exist. It doesn't, but thanks to another user's help, I found Wikipedia:WikiProject_Collections_Care instead, which covers much of the sort of ground I was hoping for. I don't know the precise distinction between "collections care" and "heritage science", but there seems to be a lot of overlap. That being so, does anyone object if I create a redirect from Wikipedia:WikiProject_Heritage_Science to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Collections_Care? Please WP:PING me if you reply. Thanks! zazpot (talk) 17:04, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Zazpot: - I think this would be a bad idea, this project has a very small scope, and creating a new WikiProject just to merge into it immediately seems unneeded. To find people interested in the field you could consider Wikipedia:GLAM. My guess is that 'heritage science' is overly overlapping with Wikipedia:WikiProject Archaeology so consider making a task force there.

Proposed merge

It is proposed this project is merged with Wikipedia:WikiProject Digital Preservation, the amalgamation of the two projects would benefit the scope of both projects by bringing editors with similar interests together. Digital preservation is an integral part of collection care, and likewise a digital collection may be covered by the same principles as caring for a physical collection. In the modern era, physical and digital collections are increasing integrated. Dysklyver 09:20, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Beg to disagree - integral in some contexts maybe, but not all contexts JarrahTree 10:10, 15 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page is quite inactive, so it's a question of whether the separate maintenance of these pages creates more value than it expends. (not watching, please {{ping}}) czar 02:22, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
