Do Hoosiers think of their cities as settlements? Well, check out Category:Settlements in Indiana that's as of today in your category hierarchy. I reverted it out for Kentucky, and I recommend all states do it as well. Kentucky uses "Subdivisions" and Massachusetts uses "Administrative divisions" (both reasonable). "Settlements" are for pioneer days, not for contemporary political subdivisions. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 04:00, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians, a list of possible Indiana-related articles found by bot is available at User:AlexNewArtBot/IndianaSearchResult. Colchicum 14:42, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello all. I am considering replacing the red dot maps that I made for Indiana with new-fangled SVG versions, using more "standard" map colors, the Superimpose template, blah blah blah. Something like this:
Anyway, I am somewhat curious about if people in general prefer the maps the way that they are or this new full-color style, or the more usual boring maps that are used on several other states, like these. - Marvin01 | talk 05:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I'm not associated with this project and wanted to alert you to some vandalism at the Lafayette, Indiana article, which is rated "high-importance" by your project.

I can't remember if I have approached WikiProject Indiana before, but I founded WikiProject Louisville around a year ago, making it cover the entire Louisville metropolitan area, which includes four Southern Indiana counties. Because of this, WPLouisville considers itself a child project of not only WP-KY, but also WP-IN. If anybody in WP-IN has a particular interest in Southern Indiana, we welcome them to join WPLouisville as well. We already have achieved pretty good coverage of Southern Indiana subjects, but certainly, more assistance is a good thing. Also, if there's any special assistance WPLouisville can provide to WP-IN, please let us know. Thanks for your time! Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 20:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to make note that there is an on-going controversy on the Hoosier page. If anyone here is passing by, please take a look at the more recent history regarding the inclusion of the so-called "St. Louis" use of the word and the question of whether it is an appropriate addition. Thanks!! Wildhartlivie 06:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Please help! There has been repeated severe and obscene vandalism on IWU's page by the user "Lilmissjess." Please notify Wikipedia authorities and have him blocked immediately. This is the type of things you guys should be watching out for - not innocent comments that are cited improperly. Please deal with this ASAP.
Thank you,

Well, thank goodness, someone else already beat you to it and blocked that freak. Please keep an eye out for those types of nuts.

All 92 of the counties now have templates. It should be noted that the lists of unincorporated communities in these templates come from the USGS GNIS and include designated places that may never have articles or that are extinct towns and may have historical articles but should not be listed as extant communities. I will work on weeding those back out, but naturally people from those areas will have more direct knowledge of those situations. Omnedon 05:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Just an FYI, I have contact the Indiana Historical Society to see if they would be willing to release a portion of their image archives under the terms of the GFDL for use on the Wikipedia. I am not sure how they will respond, but it would be really great if they would make available some of their images. As they promote Indiana history, I would hope they would be glad to pair their images with the largest online collection of Indiana history article available (Wikipedia) — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 15:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
For some reason, Return J. Meigs, Sr. has been twice tagged for this Wikiproject, and I've now removed the template twice. The article subject was born in Connecticut, made major contributions in Ohio and Tennessee, and died in Tennessee, but I see no hint of Indiana in his bio. My best guess is that he's tagged because Northwest Territory is linked in the article about him, but that does not make him an Indiana person.
If the bot is being asked to tag all Northwest Territory-related articles for this Wikiproject, it's probably expanding the Wikiproject's territory far beyond the borders of Indiana! -- Orlady ( talk) 15:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

An example of a book cover, taken from Book:Hadronic Matter |
As detailed in last week's Signpost, WildBot has been patrolling Wikipedia-Books and searched for various problems in them, such as books having duplicate articles or containing redirects. WikiProject Wikipedia-Books is in the process of cleaning them up, but help would be appreciated. For this project, the following books have problems:
The problem reports explain in details what exactly are the problems, why they are problems, and how to fix them. This way anyone can fix them even if they aren't familiar with books. If you don't see something that looks like this, then all problems have been fixed. (Please strike articles from this list as the problems get fixed.)
Also, the {{ saved book}} template has been updated to allow editors to specify the default covers of books (title, subtitle, cover-image, cover-color), and gives are preview of the default cover on the book's page. An example of such a cover is found on the right. Ideally, all books in Category:Book-Class Indiana articles should have covers.
If you need help with cleaning up a book, help with the {{ saved book}} template, or have any questions about books in general, see Help:Books, Wikipedia:Books, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, or ask me on my talk page. Also feel free to join WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as we need all the help we can get.

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indiana/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 111 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.
Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope ( talk) 17:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I'm re-working the article about American author Barbara Kingsolver, and it currently is listed as an article in the Indiana project. I just wanted to check-in and see if she really ought to be listed in this project; although she graduated from an Indiana university (DePauw), she wasn't born there, doesn't appear to have grown up there (although I haven't got a complete biography of her early years) and doesn't live there now. Would any of the editors here be upset if I removed the Indiana Project templates from her talkpage? They just don't seem to fit. Thank you! Jhfortier ( talk) 03:40, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
As an outsider, shouldn't Category:United States military veterans from Indiana and its subcats link also to the general category for Americans in each of the wars; eg Category:People from Indiana in the Iraq War should link (as a subcat. of) as well to either Category:American people of the Iraq War or Category:American military personnel of the Iraq War.

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 Indiana 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!

Ok guys, I've put together two lists - one of topics that I think are not of great importance and could be removed from 0.8 as far as Indiana is concerned, and a list that should probably be included. They have picked 167 of our articles to include. I note the pick seems to have a significant tilt towards sports, of that category I am only proposing we remove the less notable sports topics.
Not needed:
These article I think are not of sufficient quality to merit inclusion, in addition to some not being notable enough
There are only a few articles not included that I think should be, some are pretty obvious
And some important, but not well developed topics I am iffy about.
So, if anyone care to comment go ahead. Once we finish us up what we want taken out and added in, we can post it to 0.8 to have them update the list. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 15:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.
The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics.

Hello!
I thought it important that WikiProject Indiana be apprised of the continued Wikipedia
Wikipedia collaboration with the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. You can check out my brief overview in the
Children's Museum blog, which includes details on the
Apprentice Program project to create five new Wikipedia articles as well as the image donation and use of the new
Wikipedia Widget to link the museum's website to Wikipedia.
Last month we completed our first museum image content donation of 30 images. While this seems to be a low number, what makes the donation unique is the curatorial involvement in choosing and vetting the images for their appropriateness and usefulness within Wikimedia (many of the objects are copyrighted toys and other works that have copyright restrictions.) The curators in the collections department were very hands-on in their involvement, and we'll be outlining this process in an upcoming case study. If you would like to help further this process, I'd be happy for you to help disperse the images into useful Wikipedia articles, or let the appropriate WikiProjects know of the new images. Another 30 will be uploaded in the coming month.
The Museum Apprentice Program project resulted in five new articles that relate to WikiProject Indianapolis. They each compile information on some of the museum's most iconic objects: Bucky (Tyrannosaurus rex), Fireworks of Glass, Water clock (Indianapolis), Reuben Wells (locomotive), and the soon to be unveiled Captain Kidd's Cannon. Any tags, linkage, or updates you'd like to do to these articles are of course welcome.
In addition to the collaboration with the Museum Apprentice Program students and the curatorial department, another important collaboration was between User:Ealdgyth and the American Collections curators to significantly update the Broad Ripple Park Carousel article. This project should have a special interest in knowing that, after an impressive amount of time and work, the carousel is now a Featured Article. The museum is absolutely thrilled and will now be adding a QR code to the carousel exhibit Carousel: Wishes and Dreams. In the future, more QR codes will be added to the objects that have had articles written by the MAP students. We're excited by the success of this collaboration & will also be writing a case study on the process.

Hello all! I have recently been working on improving the Mitch Daniels article. It seems very likely he will run for President lately, and, there has been a big spike in readership of his article. This seems like an excellent opportunity for us to draw readers and potential contributors to our project's many articles. If anyone has spare time and would like to spend a little time copy-editing or expanding the article, it would be of great benefit the project as a whole. During the last presidential elections, the candidates' articles were getting hundreds of thousands of hits daily! If our readers find a high quality article when they search Mitch Daniels, it will go a long way to improving the reliability and reputation of all of Wikipedia. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 17:36, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Indiana will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Indiana's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate.

Why are Paul Bako (journeyman baseball player, one year with minor league baseball team in Indiana), Ambrose Burnside (birth in Indiana), Rex Grossman (birth in Indiana), Walter Bedell Smith (birth in Indiana), or William S. Taylor (death in Indiana) listed as having mid importance to Indiana? Their only involvements with the state are births, deaths or minor athletic association. Please note that I am not discounting their importance to other WikiProjects, I just think their importance to Indiana is overstated. I recommend a re-assessment and potential change to low importance.-- Rpclod ( talk) 17:13, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
The following suggestion might evoke a strong response from Indy faithful, but I say the following respectfully. I question whether the Mario Andretti article should have high importance to the WikiProject Indiana. Andretti was not born and has not lived in Indiana. The association appears to be related solely to participating in racing competition in Indiana and writing a racing article for an Indiana newspaper. Does that meet criteria for high importance? I recommend a re-assessment and potential change to mid or even low importance.-- Rpclod ( talk) 17:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

I don't know Ms. Yoder and have never met her, so there's no agenda here. I just think she should have an article. Josh a brewer ( talk) 16:41, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Dear Indiana experts: The above article has been sitting around in Wikipedia:Articles for creation for months because the creator didn't submit it. An edit summary indicates that he or she wants someone else to finish it. Eventually it will be deleted because it has no references, and neighbourhoods aren't guaranteed notability. Anyone interested? — Anne Delong ( talk) 01:33, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
Greetings, there is a discussion regarding removal of the logic used to populate Automatically assessed article categories from Template:WikiProject United States. Most of the categories (over 220 Wikipedia wide) were deleted in February 2013 because they were empty. These categories were previously populated by a bot that hasn't run since 2011 and the categories aren't used. Removal of this uneeded/unused logic will greatly reduce the size and complexity of the WikiProject United States template. Any comments or questions are encouraged here.

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot ( talk) (for Mr. Z-man) 05:10, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hello all! I was curious if anyone else thought it might be a good idea to make a (nonbinding) guideline on how all the individual US state WikiProjects should organize themselves, to help standardize them. I originally put this suggestion in the WikiProject United States talk page, so feel free to look there if you're interested. It's pretty empty though; basically all they said was to see what each of the individual projects thought about it. Please tell me if you have any concerns with this idea; hopefully we can find a way for everyone to love it! Also, I'm new at making proposals, so please forgive me if I do anything silly. :) Hope that you like this idea! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique ( talk) 04:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more states than they might otherwise work on. If there's the interest I will start 1000 State Challenges like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of states regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for the US and your specialist/home state like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every state, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any state sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Many participants here create a lot of content, may have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the skills considered at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:
You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indiana/Archive 2/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Indiana.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Indiana, and what articles may be deserving of more attention.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
At Talk:Claude Ferguson, someone wants to cite a newspaper article that appeared in the Indiana Daily Student in 1977. I've asked them for additional bibliographical information; currently only author, title, newspaper and year are given, but no more precise date nor the page number. However, even with more details I wouldn't have access to old copies of the Daily Student and wouldn't feel confident adding a source to the article that I haven't read myself. Maybe someone here with better access to old newspapers from Indiana can keep an eye on that talk page and help out? Huon ( talk) 23:07, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Just an FYI, I have contact the Indiana Historical Society to see if they would be willing to release a portion of their image archives under the terms of the GFDL for use on the Wikipedia. I am not sure how they will respond, but it would be really great if they would make available some of their images. As they promote Indiana history, I would hope they would be glad to pair their images with the largest online collection of Indiana history article available (Wikipedia) — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 15:03, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
For some reason, Return J. Meigs, Sr. has been twice tagged for this Wikiproject, and I've now removed the template twice. The article subject was born in Connecticut, made major contributions in Ohio and Tennessee, and died in Tennessee, but I see no hint of Indiana in his bio. My best guess is that he's tagged because Northwest Territory is linked in the article about him, but that does not make him an Indiana person.
If the bot is being asked to tag all Northwest Territory-related articles for this Wikiproject, it's probably expanding the Wikiproject's territory far beyond the borders of Indiana! -- Orlady ( talk) 15:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

An example of a book cover, taken from Book:Hadronic Matter |
As detailed in last week's Signpost, WildBot has been patrolling Wikipedia-Books and searched for various problems in them, such as books having duplicate articles or containing redirects. WikiProject Wikipedia-Books is in the process of cleaning them up, but help would be appreciated. For this project, the following books have problems:
The problem reports explain in details what exactly are the problems, why they are problems, and how to fix them. This way anyone can fix them even if they aren't familiar with books. If you don't see something that looks like this, then all problems have been fixed. (Please strike articles from this list as the problems get fixed.)
Also, the {{ saved book}} template has been updated to allow editors to specify the default covers of books (title, subtitle, cover-image, cover-color), and gives are preview of the default cover on the book's page. An example of such a cover is found on the right. Ideally, all books in Category:Book-Class Indiana articles should have covers.
If you need help with cleaning up a book, help with the {{ saved book}} template, or have any questions about books in general, see Help:Books, Wikipedia:Books, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, or ask me on my talk page. Also feel free to join WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as we need all the help we can get.

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 35,715 as of May 1. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indiana/Unreferenced BLPs. Currently you have approximately 111 articles to be referenced. Other project lists can be found at User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects/Templates and User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects.
Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope ( talk) 17:25, 4 May 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 Indiana 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!

Ok guys, I've put together two lists - one of topics that I think are not of great importance and could be removed from 0.8 as far as Indiana is concerned, and a list that should probably be included. They have picked 167 of our articles to include. I note the pick seems to have a significant tilt towards sports, of that category I am only proposing we remove the less notable sports topics.
Not needed:
These article I think are not of sufficient quality to merit inclusion, in addition to some not being notable enough
There are only a few articles not included that I think should be, some are pretty obvious
And some important, but not well developed topics I am iffy about.
So, if anyone care to comment go ahead. Once we finish us up what we want taken out and added in, we can post it to 0.8 to have them update the list. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 15:31, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello!
I thought it important that WikiProject Indiana be apprised of the continued Wikipedia
Wikipedia collaboration with the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. You can check out my brief overview in the
Children's Museum blog, which includes details on the
Apprentice Program project to create five new Wikipedia articles as well as the image donation and use of the new
Wikipedia Widget to link the museum's website to Wikipedia.
Last month we completed our first museum image content donation of 30 images. While this seems to be a low number, what makes the donation unique is the curatorial involvement in choosing and vetting the images for their appropriateness and usefulness within Wikimedia (many of the objects are copyrighted toys and other works that have copyright restrictions.) The curators in the collections department were very hands-on in their involvement, and we'll be outlining this process in an upcoming case study. If you would like to help further this process, I'd be happy for you to help disperse the images into useful Wikipedia articles, or let the appropriate WikiProjects know of the new images. Another 30 will be uploaded in the coming month.
The Museum Apprentice Program project resulted in five new articles that relate to WikiProject Indianapolis. They each compile information on some of the museum's most iconic objects: Bucky (Tyrannosaurus rex), Fireworks of Glass, Water clock (Indianapolis), Reuben Wells (locomotive), and the soon to be unveiled Captain Kidd's Cannon. Any tags, linkage, or updates you'd like to do to these articles are of course welcome.
In addition to the collaboration with the Museum Apprentice Program students and the curatorial department, another important collaboration was between User:Ealdgyth and the American Collections curators to significantly update the Broad Ripple Park Carousel article. This project should have a special interest in knowing that, after an impressive amount of time and work, the carousel is now a Featured Article. The museum is absolutely thrilled and will now be adding a QR code to the carousel exhibit Carousel: Wishes and Dreams. In the future, more QR codes will be added to the objects that have had articles written by the MAP students. We're excited by the success of this collaboration & will also be writing a case study on the process.

Hello all! I have recently been working on improving the Mitch Daniels article. It seems very likely he will run for President lately, and, there has been a big spike in readership of his article. This seems like an excellent opportunity for us to draw readers and potential contributors to our project's many articles. If anyone has spare time and would like to spend a little time copy-editing or expanding the article, it would be of great benefit the project as a whole. During the last presidential elections, the candidates' articles were getting hundreds of thousands of hits daily! If our readers find a high quality article when they search Mitch Daniels, it will go a long way to improving the reliability and reputation of all of Wikipedia. — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 17:36, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot ( talk) (for Mr. Z-man) 05:10, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride 2014, a campaign to create and improve LGBT-related content at Wikipedia and its sister projects. The campaign will take place throughout the month of June, culminating with a multinational edit-a-thon on June 21. Meetups are being held in some cities, or you can participate remotely. All constructive edits are welcome in order to contribute to Wikipedia's mission of providing quality, accurate information. Articles within Category:LGBT in the Americas may be of particular interest. You can also upload LGBT-related images by participating in Wikimedia Commons' LGBT-related photo challenge. You are encouraged to share the results of your work here. Happy editing! -- Another Believer ( Talk) 20:57, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hi Indiana Wikipedians! I am reaching out to see if anyone would be interested in helping out with editing training for a Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism edit-a-thon taking place at Indiana University Bloomington on Saturday March 7th. We would appreciate any assistance in securing at least one experienced Wikipedian in the area, and I'd be happy to put you in touch with the organizers if you are able to help out. More information about the event can also be found here. If interested, please reply on wiki or by e-mail at thepwnco.wiki@gmail.com. Cheers! - Thepwnco ( talk) 22:26, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello all! I was curious if anyone else thought it might be a good idea to make a (nonbinding) guideline on how all the individual US state WikiProjects should organize themselves, to help standardize them. I originally put this suggestion in the WikiProject United States talk page, so feel free to look there if you're interested. It's pretty empty though; basically all they said was to see what each of the individual projects thought about it. Please tell me if you have any concerns with this idea; hopefully we can find a way for everyone to love it! Also, I'm new at making proposals, so please forgive me if I do anything silly. :) Hope that you like this idea! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique ( talk) 04:55, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more states than they might otherwise work on. If there's the interest I will start 1000 State Challenges like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of states regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for the US and your specialist/home state like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every state, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any state sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thankyou.♦ Dr. Blofeld 15:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
Many participants here create a lot of content, may have to evaluate whether or not a subject is notable, decide if content complies with BLP policy, and much more. Well, these are just some of the skills considered at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
So, please consider taking a look at and watchlisting this page:
You could be very helpful in evaluating potential candidates, and even finding out if you would be a suitable RfA candidate.
Many thanks and best wishes,

Greetings WikiProject Indiana/Archive 2 Members!
This is a one-time-only message to inform you about a technical proposal to revive your Popular Pages list in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:
If the above proposal gets in the Top 10 based on the votes, there is a high likelihood of this bot being restored so your project will again see monthly updates of popular pages.
Further, there are over 260 proposals in all to review and vote for, across many aspects of wikis.
Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
Best regards, Stevietheman — Delivered: 18:01, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

There are comments relevant to the project concerning article "class assessment" at Talk:USS Indianapolis (CA-35)#Article assessment. Otr500 ( talk) 02:44, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indiana/Archive 2/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Indiana.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Indiana, and what articles may be deserving of more attention. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at m:User talk:Community Tech bot.
Warm regards, the Community Tech Team 17:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
New Indiana userbox templates are now available at Template:User WP Indiana and Template:User WP United States. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Yours aye, Buaidh talk contribs 23:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:42, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#Proposed change to election/referendum naming format.

Hello! Your WikiProject has been selected to participate in the WP 1.0 Bot rewrite beta. This means that, starting in the next few days or weeks, your assessment tables will be updated using code in the new bot, codenamed Lucky. You can read more about this change on the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team page. Thanks! audiodude ( talk) 06:47, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.
At Talk:Claude Ferguson, someone wants to cite a newspaper article that appeared in the Indiana Daily Student in 1977. I've asked them for additional bibliographical information; currently only author, title, newspaper and year are given, but no more precise date nor the page number. However, even with more details I wouldn't have access to old copies of the Daily Student and wouldn't feel confident adding a source to the article that I haven't read myself. Maybe someone here with better access to old newspapers from Indiana can keep an eye on that talk page and help out? Huon ( talk) 23:07, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I have recently created a bot to remove completed infobox requests and am sending this message to WikiProject Indiana since the project currently has a backlogged infobox request category. Details about the task can be found at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/PearBOT 2, but in short it removes all infobox requests from articles with an infobox, once a week. To sign up, reply with {{ ping|Trialpears}} and tell me if any special considerations are required for the Wikiproject. For example: if only a specific infobox should be detected, such as {{ infobox journal}} for WikiProject Academic Journals; or if an irregularly named infobox such as {{ starbox begin}} should be detected. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.
