Corresponding ribbons for drive barnstars

Hi everyone! I've recently created some ribbon equivalents for the WikiProject's current barnstar award system. Would it be possible for them to be added with the corresponding barnstars on the awards page? Cheers, Freebirdthemonk Howdy! 17:22, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Wow! I've added them to the table, but feel free to tweak if you want to make it look better or anything. Thanks :) benzband (talk) 18:36, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
I may need to tweak the Wikifier's trophy Ribbon, because I noticed that, when small enough, it doesn't look very good and you can't really see the trophy. I was thinking about just removing the image altogether and just having the solid gold ribbon, but I'm not sure. Any suggestions or ideas? Cheers, Freebirdthemonk Howdy! 18:57, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
No sorry, i couldn't say. I think either would be great though :) benzband (talk) 21:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
You could put a star on it instead of the trophy, that might show up better. Nice work, btw! --Dianna (talk) 23:08, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
The trophy and star didn't work out as well as I had hoped, so I left it as a solid gold ribbon. Cheers, Freebirdthemonk Howdy! 01:57, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Template:Wikification

Now that Template:Wikify is deprecated, is Template:Wikification (a similar template that goes on talk pages) really needed? Should it be redirected to Wikify? It is only used on 20 talk pages anyway, and is inferior to all the specific templates we use, and also inferior to WikiProject Wikify's "How to wikify". Del♉sion23 (talk) 12:59, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

i couldn't say... FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 11:32, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
It wasn't that useful to begin with so it should be deleted. -- Whpq (talk) 11:35, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

new drive

i think a drive should be maintained each month, considering the amount of articles still carrying the tag. i can help coordinate it in any way needed. cheers ,FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 11:34, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

February 2013's drive.

Quick question: Why has this drive not been started? It's time to go. Oh, is this the Top Secret room? I had no idea... (talk) 00:27, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

ditto! GOCE and AfC have already concluded their january drives... FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 00:50, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Well, no worries. I finally conquered my fear of composing extremely technical pages (XD), and got the drive started. Learned a lot in the process, if you'll believe it. Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/2013/February is open to all willing to participate. Let the drive begin! Oh, is this the Top Secret room? I had no idea... (talk) 01:14, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
I've put a simple invitation out through User:EdwardsBot. benzband (talk) 16:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)


The February Wikification Drive 2013

I'm thinking about User:FoCuSandLeArN. See his/her drive log, You can see he/she is the leader. He/she has wikified 99 articles. But I don't think he/she has wiified that much. I have some proof for my suspicion. See down.

There're 4 but I think there're more. You see in this four article history he/she doesn't have any contributions but the drive page says he/she has wikified and completed these article. If he/she thinks he'll wikify them then he can put this article with a working headline. That's okay, But without wikifieing someone can't say he/she has wikified that. Watch this please.--Pratyya (Hello!) 14:21, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

 Done. Need no answer. Thanks
I wikified all articles stated. I do many at a time, and as such can't save each article as "working". this would be very time-consuming. FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:49, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi all. I am building a navigation sidebar for the wikiproject and have a copy in my sandbox ready for review. One thing that's different from the current navigation system is this template lists all the categories under the purview of the wikiproject. We need to fill out the list of related templates as it's incomplete right now. I have to go do some RL stuff but thought I would post here for feedback on this preliminary version. Cheers, -- Dianna (talk) 16:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Looks good, although I think the text should be left-aligned. There's a list of all the templates covered by the project at Template:Wikify; I think you got them all except the lead cleanup templates ({{lead too long}}, {{lead too short}}, etc.) DoctorKubla (talk) 08:46, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
Great suggestions. I have also organised the material so editors who want to tackle a specific kind of problem will find it easier to locate the type of articles they want to work on. Version 2 is now ready for viewing at User:Diannaa/sandbox. -- Dianna (talk) 16:25, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

Annual wikification drive awards

As mentioned on the awards page, there are special awards known as "Most Excellent Wikification Awards", that are to be issued to those backlog drive participants meeting the criteria after every calendar year.

April 2013's drive

Hello! Everyone there...? What?...sorry didn't hear you. If yes then someone create the April's drive for Wikify sake. :-) -- Assassin! No, Captain Assassin! ( T - C - G ) 17:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

I have shaped up something at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Drives/2013/April. benzband (talk) 21:40, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
Shaped nice, thanks. -- Assassin! No, Captain Assassin! ( T - C - G ) 03:01, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Sort

Hello there! Maybe it's just me, but given one of the wikify stipulates is to place the sort template in articles that need it I think a tutorial or an explanation is needed. I for one don't know how to use it and what it does (sort of...). I think I've successfully placed it in a few articles, following the instructions. Could any help be provided? And possibly a how-to be appended to the wikify instructions in case it helps others? Thank you! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:51, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello there FoCuSandLeArN; I'm Nolelover, one of the old guys of this project, and I just wanted to give you some kind of answer to your question, even if it's not the one you're looking for. To be entirely honest, I've almost completely forgotten how in the time I've been inactive. {{L}} is used whenever the article is about the living person. You fill out the three parameters (with the sortkey being "Last name, First name, MI") and stick that at the bottom of the article. In all other articles, the sort key is places with the {{DEFAULTSORT:ARTICLE NAME}} magic word. There are minor exceptions (you put articles like "the" and "a" at the end, after a commna) but that's the general idea. As for why...well, that's way beyond me by now. There's more info at WP:SORTKEY, and if you need further help, I'm sure you know the general places (help desk, helpme template, etc). I don't know if this really answer what you wanted to know, but I just didn't want your query to go completely unanswered. Best, Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:06, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for answering! One of my major doubts is why are there two different sort keys? I mean, I've seen the defaultsort for bios too, is that wrong? Cheers, FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 22:02, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Are you referring to the difference templates, one for bios, and one for everything else? Well, it's not that there are two different sort keys. It's just that the one for bios (the template "L" I linked above) includes additional information (years alive) that obviously does not apply to a volcanic rock formation in Japan, heh heh. Does that answer your question? Nolelover Talk·Contribs 03:29, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
It does, thanks! So the defaultsort is ok for bios too?
Absolutely (that I know of--I must use this disclaimer, because my knowledge in this area is very limited, haha). Defaultsort is the generic tool that is used for every single article. Template:L includes defaultsort, and adds a parameter for the years alive/dead categories, just to remind people that if you add one, it's good to add the other too. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 16:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

A sad Wikify story

I am a beginner Wikifyer, and am feeling disillusioned and inclined to quit. So I am here for counselling, pointing in the right direction, or a good slap to get me back to work.

I have Wikified about 15 articles and have found it quite rewarding, but now that I have a little experience I am becoming pessimistic about what lies ahead. I have just generated about 10 random articles in a row that need Wikifying in order to get a picture of what my future might be, and it is pretty depressing. Of the ten articles I looked at, about 5 are obviously very shallow, lack-of-notability candidates for people or organisations. I don't feel motivated to spend any significant amount of time seeking to support such articles: they are about 10-15 lines in length and contain no significant content. Should I simply add a "recommended for deletion tag" and move on to articles that will can be improved?

PS: I expect that this question has been asked and answered many times before, but I haven't come across a FAQ or similar page to help me with the job apart from the Project Wikify page. Travers (talk) 06:35, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Travers. While some people feel that all the content in the encyclopedia is valuable and worth keeping, I agree with you that it's best to be choosy about where we invest our time by selecting articles to work on that are on important topics or receive many page views (or even both). What I often do is choose articles on a topic of interest using the Catscan tool. (This link might not work first try; all the Toolserver tools have been acting up the last few days.) There's some instructions on how to use Catscan at the GOCE home page. -- Dianna (talk) 12:04, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
You may also be interested in Wikipedia:Notability (people) and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). GoingBatty (talk) 22:07, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello Travers, I'm sorry you are feeling sad.
Sometimes working on borderline articles with poor contents can lead to semi-decent results ([1]→[2] – diff).
If it is a clear case that fall under Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, then you can tag it for speedy deletion. In this case, remember to follow the guidelines, of course, but also take a look at its history because there might be a previous version (or more than one) which is better than the current one. For all artilces where we are not sure, we need to follow Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Personally, I prefer (when it's notable or uncertain) to add more contents, infoboxes, internal links, categories, geographical coordinates, …. When I fail, which means that I cannot find relevant information on the subject, I usually go ahead to the next article.
In any case, keep up the good work and happy editing. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 08:12, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

As I did with the awards for February's drive, I'm going to keep a record here of the awards distribution for April 2013.

Awards distribution for April 2013's wikification drive.
1. Wilhelmina Will (200) Trophy; Diamond. checkY
2. Captain Assassin! (197) Greater Working Wikifier's; Platinum checkY
3. FoCuSandLeArN (136) Greater Working Wikifier's; Gold checkY
4. pjoef (95) Greater Working Wikifier's; Gold checkY

So a print encyclopedia, a strawberry shortcake, and a sycamore walk into a bar - wait, have you heard this one? (talk) 20:36, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Wilhelmina, I'm going to decline the award. I did no real work for this drive. I hope to help more next month since school will be done and we think our number one goal should be to find new members so wikifying 2 articles doesn't land someone on the leaderboard. Ryan Vesey 20:41, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm declining as well. I never really did get time set aside to tackle this. Three articles is not much of a contribution, and I cannot in good conscience accept an award for so little work. As an aide, this notification thingy that's been added works great. I got notified about my name being posted up here. -- Whpq (talk) 20:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Ah, sorry. I posted the awards on both your talkpages before I read this message. Feel free to remove them if you wish, but I feel that since there were so few participants at all, and quite a couple of those who did sign in never wikified anything, you do deserve those awards. :) Cheers!

June 2013 drive

Will someone create the June 2013 drive, there's not much time left for new month now.-- Assassin! No, Captain Assassin! ( T - C - G ) 19:24, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

It appears that Wilhelmina Will, Miniapolis, Pjoef and other primary contributors to the WikiProject have been fairly inactive the past few days. This may explain the delay. In terms of the drive page, I'm not sure I want to go ahead and create the page without anyone else's knowing. Cheers, Freebirds Howdy! 14:25, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
No need to worry, I've gotten it started. Here it is! Trout me, and then just trout me, till I can get my troutifaction! (talk) 02:44, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Everyone help themselves!
Well, we may not have had the best turnout we've ever received in a drive, for which I must accept at least 80% of the blame, not understanding how to set up the project's advertising for the latest drives. Still, out of the seven users who did join, six participated, and a total of 462 articles were wikified, so I think that does call for a bit of a celebration. Can you decipher this acronymical code?

Random article

There seems to be a problem with the "Click here to find a random article to wikify" link on the Project page. I tried it five times and all five articles appear to be already "wikified" in the sense that they have the expected formatting and layout for Wikipedia. These were:

Am I misunderstanding something about this process? 86.128.6.65 (talk) 20:06, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

  1. Ong Hock Thye - This does appear to be adequately linked. If you check the history of the article, you can see that an editor new to Wikipedia has added wikilinks but did not remove the issue tag; perfectly understandable for a new editor. The action needed here is to simply remove the tag.
  2. Nolan Chart - The article lead is claimed to be inadequate but there is no explanation on the talk page. The lead looks adequate to me. The action here is to simply remove the tag.
  3. Future Problem Solving Program Australia - One might argue that a link to University of Melbourne might be added, but really there's not a lot to links to add. Action here is to remove the tag (and I'll link the university).
  4. Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup - uses bare URLs for citations. It should be converted to use citation templates. This one is legitimately tagged.
  5. Los Tucanes de Tijuana - uses bare URLs for citations. It should be converted to use citation templates. This one is legitimately tagged.

So in summary, I think you do generally have the right understanding of the process. Feel free to be bold if you come across articles which have been improved but still have their tag and untag them. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 21:52, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The first three were untagged earlier today by because the issues in question had been addressed: [3] [4] [5]. The last two are still in Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify because they have been tagged as needing link rot cleanup, an issue which fall under the scope of Wikiproject Wikify (along with footnote reformatting, HTML markup cleanup, underlinking, overlinking, dead-ends,‎ introduction cleanup, references cleanup, needing section and infobox requests). benzband (talk) 22:21, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation in crisis

Up until July 4, the disambiguation project was making steady progress in combating disambiguation links, reaching an all-time low of only 62,419 disambiguation pages with incoming links. Since then, the number of disambiguation pages with incoming links has quickly shot up by over a thousand. I don't know why this number is suddenly increasing, whether editors are becoming more active and less careful in making links, or new articles are justifying increased numbers of disambiguation pages, or frequent disambiguators are getting discouraged and leaving the project, but we are falling behind and need help. Please make sure that the links you make point to the right articles, not to disambiguation pages. If you turn an existing page or redirect into a disambiguation page or a redirect to disambiguation page, please fix the incoming links, as your regular disambiguators are likely too swamped to get to them. If you can find and fix a handful of disambiguation links, that would be great. bd2412 T 17:46, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

More answers are in the Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)#Disambiguation in crisis thread. Cheers. –Quiddity (talk) 20:07, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Are those who agree with WP:PDAB changing article names and then not fixing all the links immediately? GoingBatty (talk) 02:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
I have seen that going on, but I doubt it accounts for the entire increase. The number of disambiguation pages with incoming links has now increased by about 1,400 since July 4. bd2412 T 14:46, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Infobox and introduction for Education Management Corporation

Hello, I have an open request on the Talk page for the Education Management Corporation (EDMC) article, which falls under the scope of this wikiproject, so I'm hopeful that an editor here can help complete it.

First let me explain my relationship with this topic: I am a consultant to EDMC and have been working over the past few months to clean up and improve this article. I have always disclosed my financial COI with this topic when asking for help and have not made any direct edits to the article. All of the improvements have been done with the help of non-COI editors, following Jimbo's advisement that outside advocates should stick to Talk pages.

The improvements to the article are nearly complete, but I am looking for help adding the {{infobox company}} template to this article, as there is currently no infobox on the page. I am also looking to clean up the introduction so it provides a more complete overview of the article. I have actually already prepared the infobox and revised introduction and placed them on the Talk page for review so I am only looking for an editor to look over what I have put together and make the changes to the article if it looks OK. (I've also added the markup for these changes to the Talk page, for convenience.)

If you can help with one or both of these remaining revisions, I'd be very grateful, and you can see my original request here. Cheers, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 17:22, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

November 2013 newsletter and December drive

The project hasn't had a newsletter for a whole year now so I figured I'd write one and distribute it towards the end of the month, along with an announcement for the December drive, to the editors who have opted-in at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikify/Participants/Newsletter. benzband (talk) 14:11, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Does anyone feel like writing an editorial? (If several people do, we can have several!) Just insert it here if you wish to. You can consult a list of past editorials here. benzband (talk) 14:25, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

{{Infobox requested}} categorization problem

The template currently categorizes pages into Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify which ideally it shouldn't really be doing. See Template talk:Infobox requested#Categorization. benzband (talk) 14:11, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello wikifiers, my proposal at Template talk:Infobox requested#Categorization needs your input to determine consensus. If you can (and wish to), please spare a moment to voice your opinion either for or against it (or propose some other alternative). Thanks, benzband (talk) 22:36, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

The 'year in ...' type articles

Hi, on my travels with the December drive have discovered the series of articles in need of a lead paragraph, that are named, for example 1934_in_film - I wondered if there is a consensus about these articles and how to create a lead section? there are many of them and across different categories etc. It could almost be an article sub-genre with a standard template introduction ... Then there is another issue about how comprehensive and reliable the articles are - but that's way beyond me and simple wikifying i think ... Any thoughts? directions to policy pages? Thanks Depthdiver (talk) 02:22, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

@Depthdiver: There is a WikiProject Years, but other than that I don't know. benzband (talk) 16:15, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
