I went ahead and uploaded pictures for the following articles: Hitomi Yoshizawa Miki Fujimoto Risa Niigaki --abarry, 20:37 03 February 2006 (EST)

WikiProject Hello! Project

Where do I sign up? ^_~ -- chsf, 12:56 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Stubs

For the stubs, shall we just use the H!P stub template on articles alone, or use the other stubs (song, album ect) as well? I think using more than one stub on articles looks a little untidy, and lets be honest, who is gonna edit H!P stub articles to non-stub status other than H!P fans? --Sploggers 22:31 17 February 2006 (GMT)

J-pop capitalization discussion

A number of us are talking about capitalization of Japanese song, band, and album titles on the WikiProject Songs page. Please come and register an opinion. Thanks!--Mike Selinker 14:52, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GAM

Some guy went in good faith and messed up GAM's entry, I'm just not sure if I moved it back to the correct page: GAM. Help please? – chsf, 14:53, 2006-10-07

Well, now it's at GAM (band) - chsf, 2:37, 2006-10-14 (UTC)
Since they aren't really a band, I moved it to GAM (Great Aya and Miki). --Pmsyyz 02:18, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Project Directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now put the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 00:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Day Awards

Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 18:02, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Project template to-do list

I noticed a to-do list on the template was missing, so I made it. To Do Listing I tried to copy the format that the Japan project uses. -- Shiori 03:11, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed the link; I think I must be slow or something. :P -- Shiori 01:56 30 April, 2007 (UTC)

wiki.theppn.org

This may be a stupid comment, but it seems a shame and a waste of time that pages at http://wiki.theppn.org/Main_Page are being improved and edited in the same way. Can the two not be combined in some way?

wiki.theppn.org isn't related to Wikipedia (even though the former uses the same open-source software that Wikipedia uses) so we can't combine both items. Material from both can be shared, however. --CJ Marsicano 21:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images of living people

It is expressly forbidden by the policy of the English Wikipedia and the Wikimedia foundation to use non-free (fair use) images solely to illustrate what a living person looks like. Per Wikipedia:Non-free content#Examples of unacceptable use, "An image of a living person that merely shows what s/he looks like [is unacceptable use under non-free content policy]. The rationale is that this is potentially replaceable with a freshly produced free photograph." There are no if's, and's, or but's to this policy. The statement that was on this WikiProject's page that stated "Free images sadly do not exist for H!P artists so anyone involved with this WikiProject should endeavor to both properly attribute and rationalize these items and defend them from those that are (intentionally or not) destroying much of the hard work we are doing here" is completely false and against all Wikimedia policies. If you can't find a free image of someone, then you cannot have an image of that person on the article at all. This covers all living persons, so we are not just cracking down on your WikiProject.—Řÿūłóñģ (竜龍) 22:26, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I suppose the new standard should be "try and discuss the individual picture being used in the article or take a screencap of a concert show"? Shiori 19:43, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Either that, or "Start a music wikipedia free from Jimbo Wales' legal retinue telling everyone that neither the First Amendment nor the Fair Use Clause of the US Copyright Act apply here." --CJ Marsicano 23:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Images of inactive bands

I'm about ready to stab someone, as people are starting to tag pictures of inactive bands (i.e. W (Double You)) as being able to be replaced by a free alternative. Umm... no. If this happens to your images, be sure to include the following in the dispute:

  • Image is of a band that is NO LONGER ACTIVE. This means that a license-free image is not likely to be found.
  • It should be added that the free use policy does explicitly allow for this usage for broken up bands.

If this doesn't them kept, I'm going to reconsider my faith in the Wikipedia community. Shiori 12:05, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I'm going to add to this, because I'd like to set a new precedent. If possible, could we all try to use the images on the official website, from the artist profiles? This will most likely help reduce disputes, as the quality on there is about as reduced as it gets. I also like this idea, since it does come from an official source, and citing sources will end up being a lot easier for those of us that try and add rationales to images missing them. (Note that this of course wouldn't apply to active bands.) I've updated some existing pages with these images, since they seem to be accepted by the taggers.

Infobox musical artist background

Template:Infobox musical artist says that singers within groups should use the solo_singer background (khaki coloured) and the group_or_band background (blue coloured) should only be used for the groups but not the members in the groups. I am going to correct the infoboxes on the member pages in a few days unless someone says otherwise. ☆CharlesNguyễn 14:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By all means, do those corrections. -- CJ Marsicano 14:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, go for it. They should have done a better job of making it less ambiguous when I started infoboxing articles, as I assumed (before it was discussed on the template page) that solo_singer was only used for solo singers. Come to think of it, there are quite a few ambiguous things about that template... Shiori 02:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

  • The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
  • The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
  • A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Coordinators' working group

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:35, 28 February 2009 (UTC) [reply]
