WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 5

Newsletter • October 2015

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

We did it!

In July, we launched five pilot WikiProjects: WikiProjects Cannabis, Evolutionary Biology, Ghana, Hampshire, and Women's Health. We also use the new design, named "WPX UI," on WikiProject Women in Technology, Women in Red, WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health. We are currently looking for projects for the next round of testing. If you are interested, please sign up on the Pilots page.

Shortly after our launch we presented at Wikimania 2015. Our slides are on Wikimedia Commons.

Then after all that work, we went through the process of figuring out whether we accomplished our goal. We reached out to participants on the redesigned WikiProjects, and we asked them to complete a survey. (If you filled out your survey—thank you!) While there are still some issues with the WikiProject tools and the new design, there appears to be general satisfaction (at least among those who responded). The results of the survey and more are documented in our grant report filed with the Wikimedia Foundation.

The work continues!

There is more work that needs to be done, so we have applied for a renewal of our grant. Comments on the proposal are welcome. We would like to improve what we have already started on the English Wikipedia and to also expand to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Why those? Because they are multilingual projects and because there needs to be better coordination across Wikimedia projects. More details are available in the renewal proposal.

How can the Wikimedia Foundation support WikiProjects?

The Wikimedia Developer Summit will be held in San Francisco in January 2016. The recently established Community Tech team at the Wikimedia Foundation is interested in investigating what technical support they can provide for WikiProjects, i.e., support beyond just templates and bots. I have plenty of opinions myself, but I want to hear what you think. The session is being planned on Phabricator, the Wikimedia bug tracker. If you are not familiar with Phabricator, you can log in with your Wikipedia username and password through the "Login or Register: MediaWiki" button on the login page. Your feedback can help make editing Wikipedia a better experience.

Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement

Greetings WikiProject TAFI members!

Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).

If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:

Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.

We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6

Newsletter • January 2016

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

What comes next

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:

  • Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the Reports Bot reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
  • One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
  • Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.

This month:

One database for Wikipedia requests

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

CookieMonster755 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

To whom it may concern: my name is CookieMonster755, a puppeteer and former Wikipedia editor. After being off for circa five months, and considering some serious questions, I decided to appeal my indefinite unblock. It was a hard, but easy decision. I came here, August 2014, not knowing why I joined Wikipedia. I created some COI articles, and they got deleted. Within the first months, I got bashed and got blocked for legal threats. I was experiencing what misuse of Wikipedia did. I finally made a commitment, to do what I love. Be progressive. I decided to remain on Wikipedia after my first block, to write articles and expanded content. It was so much fun. I got to be honest though, I made so many foolish mistakes. I made a huge fuss with administrators, created non-notable articles, and many things that went against Wikipedia polices. After gaining several Wikipedia privileges of Pending changes reviewer and rollbacker, I was doing very well. I was active in the AfC project, helping new users fell like they were valued on Wikipedia. After all the bad history of my huge mistakes, I "retired" this account and made another account. I abused my privileges, and that is why I was blocked. I went against policy. I love doing what I do best, which was writing. Wikipedia is a valuable resource. Today, I am making an appeal to be unblocked and resume what I did best. I know, I have abused the Wikipedia resources and wasted time of the Wikipedia community. I know, that I never will be fully trusted on here every again, but relationships, online and offline, start with something. Trust can be built again overtime. I want the trust of the Wikipedia community to be an editor again, and maybe get my special rollback and other rights someday. It will take time, but I hope I can do what I do best. If you have questions, please feel free to ask. If you have questions about my history on Wikipedia, see my sockpuppet page. If I am denied an unblocked request, I will respect your decision. To protect the Wikipedia community. Thank you. Shalom. CookieMonster755 (talk) 4:20 am, 15 March 2016, last Tuesday (5 days ago) (UTC+1)

Accept reason:

This is your WP:LASTCHANCE. You have to stick to one account from now one (even logged-out editing may be considered socking). Any attempt to game the system will be followed by an indefinite block. Vanjagenije (talk) 07:27, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Vanjagenije - what is the status of my unblock request? CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:11, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Bbb23 is away, obviously. I need some other Checkuser to allow me to unblock you. I am willing to unblock you. Ponyo, Doug Weller, can someone help here? Vanjagenije (talk) 00:24, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
User:Vanjagenije So long as there is an agreement to stick to one account, ok. Doug Weller talk 05:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
Vanjagenije and Doug Weller - I am only sticking to this account. Please block all other accounts. Glad to be back, and I will be building my reputation again, but this time for good and not for bad sock puppetry. CookieMonster755 (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

SuggestBot can't post suggestions

Hi! I just noticed that you are subscribed to get suggestions from SuggestBot, but also have a template ({{nobots}}) that bans all bots from editing your talk page. SuggestBot is set to follow those directions and will therefore not post anything to your talk page. If you want to receive suggestions, and I hope you do, you can whitelist SuggestBot by changing the template to "{{bots|allow=SuggestBot}}". Let me know if you have any questions!

Review of IMRIC's article

Thanks so much for reviewing my first wikipedia article and taking the time to write a full explanation of the rejection. I have several questions but no time at the moment so just one question for now - the notable faculty I listed do indeed have wikipedia articles which I linked to. I don't understand why they can't be listed.Gillkay (talk) 18:20, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the long response, Gillkay. Sorry, that is my mistake. I do see that some of the "Notable Faculty Members" are links to Wikipedia articles. They are allowed to be listed, I would try to create a better name for the section though. The one person with the external link needs to be removed. Any more questions? CookieMonster755 (talk) 01:36, 17 April 2016 (UTC) → My role @ AfC.
Trying to think of a better name. The one external link is to the hebrew wikipedia article on him - is that still not allowed?Gillkay (talk) 12:07, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
I have removed the external links from the body if the article, changed the name slightly for the section of faculty with wikipedia articles, combined the research hubs and research centers sections to shorten them and make them less promotional. I didn't want to remove them because I think they are an important part of the institute and the way it works. I am not sure what changes I should be making to the formatting. I am happy to submit the article to you again to review. Is that what i should do now?Gillkay (talk) 12:45, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
@Gillkay: If you are thinking about a title for your draft, please read COMMONNAME and ACRONYMTITLE. If I were you, however, I would use The Institute For Medical Research Israel-Canada (without IMRIC in parentheses) because it is the common and official name. Yes, please remove the external link to Hebrew Wikipedia. When the draft is ready to be published, a link for the Hebrew Wikipedia will be added to the left side under "languages". Please remove the Hagai Bergman link under Faculty Members of Note. Also, I would rename that section to Notable faculty. If there is any notable alumni, I would also make a section for that. Once you have made those changes, please resubmit the draft for AfC review. Cheers, CookieMonster755 📞 23:06, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 8

Newsletter • March / April 2016

This month:

Transclude article requests anywhere on Wikipedia

In the last issue of the WikiProject X Newsletter, I discussed the upcoming Wikipedia Requests system: a central database for outstanding work on Wikipedia. I am pleased to announce Wikipedia Requests is live! Its purpose is to supplement automatically generated lists, such as those from SuggestBot, Reports bot, or Wikidata. It is currently being demonstrated on WikiProject Occupational Safety and Health (which I work on as part of my NIOSH duties) and WikiProject Women scientists.

Adding a request is as simple as filling out a form. Just go to the Add form to add your request. Adding sources will help ensure that your request is fulfilled more quickly. And when a request is fulfilled, simply click "mark as complete" and it will be removed from all the lists it's on. All at the click of a button! (If anyone is concerned, all actions are logged.)

With this new service is a template to transclude these requests: {{Wikipedia Requests}}. It's simple to use: add the template to a page, specifying article=, category=, or wikiproject=, and the list will be transcluded. For example, for requests having to do with all living people, just do {{Wikipedia Requests|category=Living people}}. Use these lists on WikiProjects but also for edit-a-thons where you want a convenient list of things to do on hand. Give it a shot!

Help us build our list!

The value of Wikipedia Requests comes from being a centralized database. The long work to migrating individual lists into this combined list is slowly underway. As of writing, we have 883 open tasks logged in Wikipedia Requests. We need your help building this list.

If you know of a list of missing articles, or of outstanding tasks for existing articles, that you would like to migrate to this new system, head on over to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Requests#Transition project and help out. Doing this will help put your list in front of more eyes—more than just your own WikiProject.

An open database means new tools

WikiProject X maintains a database that associates article talk pages (and draft talk pages) with WikiProjects. This database powers many of the reports that Reports bot generates. However, until very recently, this database was not made available to others who might find its data useful. It's only common sense to open up the database and let others build tools with it.

And indeed: Citation Hunt, the game to add citations to Wikipedia, now lets you filter by WikiProject, using the data from our database.

Are you a tool developer interested in using this? Here are some details: the database resides on Tool Labs with the name s52475__wpx_p. The table that associates WikiProjects with articles and drafts is called projectindex. Pages are stored by talk page title but in the future this should change. Have fun!

On the horizon
  • The work on the CollaborationKit extension continues. The extension will initially focus on reducing template and Lua bloat on WikiProjects (especially our WPX UI demonstration projects), and will from there create custom interfaces for creating and maintaining WikiProjects.
  • The WikiCite meeting will be in Berlin in May. The goal of the meeting is to figure out how to build a bibliographic database for use on the Wikimedia projects. This fits in quite nicely with WikiProject X's work: we want to make it easier for people to find things to work on, and with a powerful, open bibliographic database, we can build recommendations for sources. This feature was requested by the Wikipedia Library back in September, and this meeting is a major next step. We look forward to seeing what comes out of this meeting.

Fart lighting

I removed the video you added from Fart lighting. Did you know it's fake? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:22, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Anna Frodesiak No, I did not know it was fake. Thank you so much for removing it! I there is a real video, than it can be added. Again, thank you for catching my mistake. Must be careful of videos I upload. Cheers, fellow Wikipdiean. CookieMonster755 📞 02:24, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Also, Youtube videos are considered copyrighted unless otherwise stated. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:35, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Anna Frodesiak - Please look at the license. YouTube allows Creative Commons videos on their website. Please read here. Also, I found a real video that I am adding to the article WP:BOLDLY. CookieMonster755 📞 02:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Anna Frodesiak — I see you also tagged the real fart lighting video as a copyvio. That is not the case. I reverted your good faith edit, because the video is registered as Creative Commons 3.0 on YouTube. Please read YouTube's Creative Common information, and please, under the video description, read it. It says "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)" for license information. If somehow I am making a mistake, let me know. I want to be civil, and so should you Cheers, CookieMonster755 📞 02:44, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
You're right. I checked at IRC and they said copyvio then not copyvio. Thanks for tagging the first one and untagging the second. I've added the second to the article, as you can see. Good find, actually. Thanks. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Anna Frodesiak, you are very welcome! We all make mistakes, especially me. I want to thank you for being quick and fast to get copyvios off Wikipedia and the Commons. You are a wonderful administrator!~Cheers, CookieMonster755 📞 02:48, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Don't worry a bit about this. I've accidentally uploaded images I shouldn't have. You were acting in good faith. All's well that ends well. The article now has, what seems to be, a genuine video of fart lighting. That is a really good asset to the project, as disgusting as it may be. I've actually tried to get friends to make such a video for some time, without success.
Anyhow, thanks again, and keep up the good work! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:19, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Oh, and sorry to have speedy tagged those. I immediately went to IRC and asked for a check. YouTube is blocked here in China, so I was flying blind. They said copyrighted, followed by "oh, wait, not copyrighted". :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:21, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi Cookiemonster. I hope to get a chance next week to record and upload a pronunciation. Hopefully my microphone is still working! I will let you know when done. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:52, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

GA Cup-Round 3 Clarification

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup - Round 3

Hello, GA Cup competitors!

It has been brought to our attention that we made a mistake in the last newsletter. In the last newsletter, we said that the "4th place" overall would make the Final along with the top user from each pool. However, the users who will advance will be the top user from each pool along with "4th and 5th place" overall.

We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion that we caused.

Cheers from Figureskatingfan, 3family6, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletter, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant still competing, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

False messiah

Do not attempt a third time to redirect the False messiah page elsewhere than it does at the moment. Please take a moment to review WP:BRD. The present redirect makes a lot more sense in my opinion than yours, but in any case, you have to show consensus before you can make that change. Debresser (talk) 15:20, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Debresser What do you mean a third time? That was my first time changing it. I have reviewed BRD. I am not a new editor, so no need to give me step by step instructions on what to do ;) Cheers. Civility is tasty to Wikipedia! CookieMonster755 📞 15:28, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Debresser I see why you don't agree with me. Is it because your a Jewish rabbi? In that case, False messiah should be turned into a dab page. I will be discussing this. Thanks- CookieMonster755 📞 15:34, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
Debresser - a discussion has been started. I encourage you to join in. Cheers! CookieMonster755 📞 19:07, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

Just to reply to your questions, before I join the discussion:

  1. You changed it once, but the previous edit, made 9 days before you by some IP editor, also made the same change.
  2. Saying that I don't agree, because I am a rabbi ("Jewish rabbi" is saying the same thing twice) is rather insulting, and a definite violation of WP:AGF.
  3. That having said, I will gladly join the discussion forthwith. Debresser (talk) 17:30, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Debresser Yes, my inappropriate and personal attack is not assuming good faith, and I sincerely apologize. I will refrain from making any personal attacks again. It spoils the friendships I have with other editors on Wikipedia. Forgive me, and we can be friends. Cheers! CookieMonster755 📞 18:03, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Sure. By the way, please note that I support your proposal on the talkpage. I would have opposed the redirect to Anti-Christ again, but I see that you also thought things over in the mean time, with good result. Debresser (talk) 18:09, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
Thank you, my friend! CookieMonster755 📞 18:18, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
