I've made a few recent changes to the Six Flags AstroWorld article, but even just at a glance any editor could tell this article needs a lot of work.

Dropping Lloyd Chapman here for input on whether or not this old article is even notable. I honestly don't know. This came up because at WP:AIV a suspected disruptive new editor keeps deleting part of this. Looking at it, I don't see how this ever survived at Wikipedia.

For anyone wanting to source National Register of Historic Places in Texas listings, or Recorded Texas Historic Landmark listings, the Texas Historic Sites Atlas is an excellent resource.

I've been going through List of ghost towns in Texas to add sourcing, and have removed two that are obvious to me: Loyal Valley, Texas which is currently what it always was - small farming population, but, not abandoned; and Luckenbach, Texas which has been a privately-owned for-profit venture for more than half a century. It's never been a true ghost town. Some on the list are true ghost towns that just vanished, but many are not. Also, I would say that any town that is part of a school district, is not a ghost town. I intend to remove the ones that still have active populations. — Maile ( talk) 21:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

The article José Silva (parapsychologist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced article with a slanted POV that has clearly not shown signs of improvement in years
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
I am notifying this since the article falls under this WikiProject. Thank you.
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.

Hello! I'm Katrina, here on behalf of the Ion to suggest some improvements to the Wikipedia article about the innovation district. I'm submitting requests at Talk:Ion Innovation District instead of editing the article myself, in order to comply with conflict of interest rules.
There are many problems with the current Wikipedia article. The text relies heavily on press releases, company websites, government documents, and Rice's student newspaper over secondary journalistic sources. The article also seems heavily skewed, focusing on the community benefits agreement and funding more than the campus and facilities. There is also some incorrect text and some outdated information. For these reasons, I've worked to draft a much improved article, which I've saved here for editors to review: User:KB Ion/Ion District.
My first request to replace the "Campus" section with the proposed "Description" section was fulfilled, but I'm struggling to get feedback on my proposed replacement for the History section. Are any WikiProject Texas participants willing to review what I've proposed and copy over the content appropriately? Thanks! KB Ion ( talk) 18:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I've been working recently on two articles: El Paso Police Department and El Paso Fire Department. Compiling an accurate list of the chiefs of those departments (there's a section in each article) has become something of a relaxing past time of mine. But I'm at the point where recentism bias in online sources is hindering progress. This is interesting history for the city but newspaper sources seem almost necessary to continue to add reliable references. If anybody from El Paso wants to help, I'd be welcome.

I've made a few recent changes to the Six Flags AstroWorld article, but even just at a glance any editor could tell this article needs a lot of work. There's a ton of unsourced content, overly detailed information about specific rides (even for those which have standalone Wikipedia entries), and lots of subsections which could possibly be merged. If editors care to help out, any improvements are much appreciated! Thanks, -- Another Believer ( Talk) 13:20, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
Dropping Lloyd Chapman here for input on whether or not this old article is even notable. I honestly don't know. This came up because at WP:AIV a suspected disruptive new editor keeps deleting part of this. Looking at it, I don't see how this ever survived at Wikipedia. If this individual is not notable by the standards of this process, then maybe we should put this up at WP:AFD. Comments? — Maile ( talk) 00:34, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

For anyone wanting to source National Register of Historic Places in Texas listings, or Recorded Texas Historic Landmark listings, the Texas Historic Sites Atlas is an excellent resource. When you pull up your preferred listing, click on the Files tab for the link to the NRHP nomination details in PDF. And FYI ... the PDF I used on San Antonio Downtown and River Walk Historic District contained a table with all the listings and particulars on it. The older the nominations are, the less likely the orderly presentation of the details on the NRHP form. — Maile ( talk) 14:22, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

I've been going through List of ghost towns in Texas to add sourcing, and have removed two that are obvious to me: Loyal Valley, Texas which is currently what it always was - small farming population, but, not abandoned; and Luckenbach, Texas which has been a privately-owned for-profit venture for more than half a century. It's never been a true ghost town. Some on the list are true ghost towns that just vanished, but many are not. Also, I would say that any town that is part of a school district, is not a ghost town. I intend to remove the ones that still have active populations. — Maile ( talk) 21:02, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

The article José Silva (parapsychologist) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unreferenced article with a slanted POV that has clearly not shown signs of improvement in years
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.
I am notifying this since the article falls under this WikiProject. Thank you.
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.

Hello! I'm Katrina, here on behalf of the Ion to suggest some improvements to the Wikipedia article about the innovation district. I'm submitting requests at Talk:Ion Innovation District instead of editing the article myself, in order to comply with conflict of interest rules.
There are many problems with the current Wikipedia article. The text relies heavily on press releases, company websites, government documents, and Rice's student newspaper over secondary journalistic sources. The article also seems heavily skewed, focusing on the community benefits agreement and funding more than the campus and facilities. There is also some incorrect text and some outdated information. For these reasons, I've worked to draft a much improved article, which I've saved here for editors to review: User:KB Ion/Ion District.
My first request to replace the "Campus" section with the proposed "Description" section was fulfilled, but I'm struggling to get feedback on my proposed replacement for the History section. Are any WikiProject Texas participants willing to review what I've proposed and copy over the content appropriately? Thanks! KB Ion ( talk) 18:33, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I've been working recently on two articles: El Paso Police Department and El Paso Fire Department. Compiling an accurate list of the chiefs of those departments (there's a section in each article) has become something of a relaxing past time of mine. But I'm at the point where recentism bias in online sources is hindering progress. This is interesting history for the city but newspaper sources seem almost necessary to continue to add reliable references. If anybody from El Paso wants to help, I'd be welcome.
