I took care of this tonight and finished the consolidation. I wasn't sure if I should take steps to remove it from the to-do list (or what exactly needed to be done), so can someone else either take care of that or direct me appropriately so I can take care of it?
Thanks! FraterNLST ( talk) 11:03, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to create a good article about retro-clones and simulacra. This would serve three purposes:
Here's my tentative plan:
How does this sound? I'd like appreciate any input or assistance with sources. zorblek (talk) 03:59, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Someone has been speculating here about Atari releasing NWN 3, using what appears to be flimsy evidence. Does anyone know more about this? 24.148.0.83 ( talk) 10:46, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
I took a look at all the B-class articles and checked them against the B-class checklist. I didn't mess with any articles where someone had already ticked off all the items on the checklist as Yes. On the rest of them, I did a surface examination of the referecing, structure, and supporting materials criteria, and added the checklist for easier reference. I downgraded Dungeons & Dragons Online and Illithid to C-class, due to sourcing issues. I likewise happened to notice Carl Critchlow (some time illustrator for 3E books), and upgraded him from a Start to a C-class. I'm going to have to re-review the C-class criteria to make sure I'm not assigning that one arbitrarily. I'll have a look at all the C-class articles (currently 100 of them) next, and if I don't burn out I'll eventually take a look at the starts and stubs. If anyone wants to help me out by reassessing, adding the checklist, or checking off skipped items on the checklist, please do feel free! 204.153.84.10 ( talk) 19:29, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
I took a break because I wanted to go through all of the redirect and merge-class articles, and check for anything that was mislabelled or that had been restored but not reassessed. I found several that should have been Start or Stub so I fixed that, and a few hundred marked as redirect that I changed to merge.
Next plan is to start going through the Start-class articles as I was doing with the B's and C's already. There are over 1000 of those currently, and over 600 Stub-class articles after that, so that will take some time. :) I imagine I will find a number of them that should be upgraded to a C, or maybe aren't quite filled out enough to be a Start so I will downgrad them to a Stub. Hope to start today! 204.153.84.10 ( talk) 15:25, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. :)
Also, another thing I did was to blank the talk pages of a few dozen non-articles which have only ever been redirects (redirects after page moves, alternate names, etc), so that should have reduced the total number of D&D-related pages (pages, not articles) significantly. I'll also probably do the reverse of something else I was doing previously - I'm sure a number of the Starts and Stubs have been merged/redirected without updating the talk page, so I'll switch the assessment appropriately, which means the article count will go down slightly. 204.153.84.10 ( talk) 16:51, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Made a little progress on the Start-class articles today; actually began on Friday though. My computer seems to be running Wikipedia very slowly lately, so this is going to take a lot longer than originally expected! 204.153.84.10 ( talk) 17:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Had a break, it was refreshing, got going on the Stub-class articles today. :) One thing I noticed off the bat was something I suspected all along. Just as there were articles previously assessed in the Start-class that were properly Stub articles, there are definitely those in the vice versa. So far I found three that I upgraded to Start - no idea if they were mis-assessed, or if they had just been improved since that time, but they are definitely Start-class material now. I'm sure I will not be upgrading anywhere near as many to Start as I downgraded to Stub, but if I found three in the first dozen I looked at there are bound to be more! 204.153.84.10 ( talk) 23:14, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
I've been using the following powerful tool quite a bit to look for articles under a particular category that do not have the appropriate project tag:
You might also find it useful. Just give a Depth (say 2) to search, a Category to check, the name of the project Template(s) (in the "Has none of these templates:" box), set Redirects to No, then click on the "Do it!" button. After a few minutes of searching it should return you a list of candidate articles that may need the template. Unfortunately you still have to check each article individually because of cross-over categories, but at least it gives you a place to start.— RJH ( talk) 17:43, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey there. Lewis Pulsipher wrote an article about himself, and the article was put up for speedy deletion. If there's anything you can do to salvage this one, please do! :) BOZ ( talk) 19:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
To prove just how effective we are: on June 3, 2009, I messaged a Flickr user to ask whether an image of Dave Arneson could be freely released and 16 months later it's happened :) Hekerui ( talk) 07:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Dungeons & Dragons articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
