Hey, I'm really sorry about deleting the template without substing it in your userspace first. I'm trying to subst it in your userspace and it doesn't seem to be working. If there's something about cite templates that prevents them from being substed, would you want to just move the template to your userspace? Peace, delldot ∇. 06:03, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
Hm, I see you haven't edited in a bit and I need to get to bed. So I'm hoping moving it to your userspace is ok. If not definitely let me know and I'll fix it tomorrow. Peace, delldot ∇. 06:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Template assistance request: Template:Neighboring hoods

edit

Howdy. The template above (of which I know little) is used on a few hundred pages to give little directional maps. It also seems to be the source of some weird red links I've been chasing down - see here for some examples. Template markup's not far short of bracket-riddled gibberish to me - any chance you could cast an eye over it and suppress the dodgy links please? - TB (talk) 17:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello Topbanana...I will eyeball it a bit and see what is going on with it, however, it appears this template is for a specific location in the U.S. (the D.C. area). Is this template going to be put into wider circulation once it is fixed and working? LA (T) @ 08:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
No idea as to the template's provenance or goals, only that it's the source of a few hundred weird-looking red links. From the history it looks like a pet project of User:Blahblah29; if it's useful it'll propagate I'm sure and find a wider use. All the better if it's tidied up before this happens. Cheers. - TB (talk) 14:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

A voice from the past

edit

Hello, my lady! I don't know if you remember me - I was the unwitting enthusiast who worked on the Films based on books project over 2 years ago. I've been inactive for a while but would like to offer my assistance with that project or any other that you think needs help. I hope we can still be friends. Cheers, Pegship (talk) 20:46, 4 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Peg...I have nearly quit all together. I have gotten involved with my own personal projects. I haven't even looked at Films based on books in as many years. Out work could be totally devastated by now. I have gotten tired of the politics that one has to go through here to get anything done these days. It has stopped being a fun endeavor. I check back here every once in a while to see if I have any messages, but most of them these days are about my work getting deleted which is really upsetting. I hope you are well. LA (T) @ 22:00, 4 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I thought you might want to know about some upcoming events where you can learn more about MediaWiki customization and development, extending functionality with JavaScript, the future of ResourceLoader and Gadgets, the new Lua templating system, how to best use the web API for bots, and various upcoming features and changes. We'd love to have power users, bot maintainers and writers, and template makers at these events so we can all learn from each other and chat about what needs doing.

Check out the Chennai event in March, the Berlin hackathon in June, the developers' days preceding Wikimania in July in Washington, DC, or any other of our events.

God of Shamisen

edit

One of the members of the band God of Shamisen contacted me yesterday asking my help to figure out why the article on his band was deleted since the band had an unusual lead instrument, the shamisen. Also, I have been told the band has had write ups in several newspapers. The band has released albums since the article was deleted. I would like to look at the article, the history, and talk pages to see what was written, who wrote it, and what could be done to add to it to make it a worthwhile article for Wikipedia, if possible. He also told me that the band leader's article was not deleted, which made him wonder why the band's article was deleted.

The the e-mail from the band member was a total surprise to me; I don't even know him. He's a friend of a follower of mine on Twitter. As I haven't been around Wikipedia in a while, I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing here. LA (T) @ 04:59, 19 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've userfied it to User:Lady Aleena/God of Shamisen so you can take a look. It was deleted in 2007 (!) for lack of notability, they hadn't produced an album at that point so that was likely a sensible call at the time. I haven't looked for sources, but if the band now has sources that meet WP:GNG, I don't see why the article couldn't be rewritten. I'm off to bed, but let me know if you decide to work on the article, or alternatively let me know if it's time to put it back in the archives. Thanks! --j⚛e deckertalk 07:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm part of a group working their way through red-linked categories. Right now there's only your user page standing between me and drawing a line under the Category:WikiProject * participants, but much though it pains me I will respect your request not to remove those red links myself. However, can I politely request a few adjustments?

I haven't got started on the Category:Wikipedians... yet, but I've got my eye on them. Given past discussions I'd suggest that you're much more likely to get "interested in" categories than "plays" or "uses" categories - that just seems to be the way Wikipedia is being standardised.(sic) Just speaking personally, I'm not too keen on "cards", it would be better expressed as individual games IMHO. Cheers. Le Deluge (talk) 23:51, 24 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Le Deluge, I am so glad you actually took time to read and see I want to preserve the red linked categories into which I put myself when you stopped by my user page. I have been fighting a war against bots for years now. Also, I have not been here for a while, so I had to go find the ones removed.
Now, I have done you the favor of removing all of the WikiProject categories from my user page. I have not done any work on Wikipedia for a very long time other than updating my user page to keep it current. If you look back in my edits, you may see my argument against members in favor of participants. Sure, I was a member of all of those projects, but I have not participated in so long they have surely forgotten me.
All of these categories being moved to interested in show how passive Wikipedia has become. I am more than interested in some subjects, I interact with some with them in an action verb way. I know I will lose the battle against interested in.
I am for standardization on Wikipedia. I have tried on many occasions to standardize this or that with little success. However, it does not mean I am for the direction the standardization is leaning towards. Instead of making Wikipedia more active by allowing action verbs in places like user categories, Wikipedia is sliding towards passivity. LA (T) @ 10:01, 25 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

edit
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue I — July 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

Okay–ooh. New teeth newsletter. That's weird...

Hello!

Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.
For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.
I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....

Big Spike in Productivity

During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.
  1. Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom", "73 Yards", and "The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA.
  2. 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status.
  3. The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check.
  4. Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.

Proposals to the WikiProject

A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows:
  1. The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
  2. The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
  3. Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
  4. An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR.
  5. Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
  6. The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates.

If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion.

Discussions of Note

A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

edit
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.


There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.


A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.
