Hey there WikiProject, this article on Comedic genres has been unsourced since 2009, which means that it's basically a wall of original research masquerading as content. Does anybody have any references to support the definitions as well as the notable examples? It seems like a few editors crammed in a bunch of opinions and put their favorite comedians in the boxes where they thought they best fit. The side effect, is that numerous articles are linking to an article with no references, ostensibly to justify the genre designations. Not sure I agree with trying to pigeonhole comedians to certain genre. Cyphoidbomb ( talk) 21:56, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

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)

If we can find a few more sources, this would make a nice DYK. I thought I saw a piece recently discussing this as a rare example of humour in academic writing, but couldn't find it now.

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.

Following a recent discussion at WP:VPR, there is consensus for an opt-in bot task that automatically assesses the class of articles based on classes listed for other project templates on the same page. In other words, if WikiProject A has evaluated an article to be C-class and WikiProject B hasn't evaluated the article at all, such a bot task would automatically evaluate the article as C-class for WikiProject B.

If you think auto-assessment might benefit this project, consider discussing it with other members here. For more information or to request an auto-assessment run, please visit User:BU RoBOT/autoassess. This is a one-time message to alert projects with over 1,000 unassessed articles to this possibility. ~ Rob ^Talk 22:25, 3 June 2016 (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 Comedy/Archive 2/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Comedy.

We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:

• The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
• The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
• The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).

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 Comedy, 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.

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Comedy

I would like to create a task force to improve coverage of The Firesign Theatre and all its associated pages (members, albums, radio shows, etc.). I would like to get it up to standards at least on par with Monty Python, and all the way up to Featured status. I see Monty Python had its own Wikiproject, which has apparently become inactive. Looking at past discussions, I sense some resistance to the effort of creating child Wikiprojects, so I figure a task force would be more acceptable. Would anyone else be interested in helping out?

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.

Background

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.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

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   07:29, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Farce is a "high importance" article for this project but has been reduced to a stub by removal of its list items with comment "Removing entirely unsourced list - a list of works is not valuable to this page, and the list was built up entirely without sources to explain any rationale for inclusion. List has been discussed multiple time on talk:page without any action - deleting". Someone here might like to rescue it. Pam D 07:55, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello volunteers My name is Dan Cook. I do paid editing on behalf of clients, mostly article cleanup. I recently got a request for help with a new article from a British entertainer, Sheridan “Shed” Simove. He had a Wikipedia entry that was posted in 2011 but was deleted this past June. I am reaching out to you because of your interest in editing comedy pages. I think what happened was Shed attempted to add in new information without disclosing his COI. (I’m pretty sure he did not understand the rules around such editing.) Another editor saw his work, decided he was not notable, and deleted it with little discussion. I reviewed his coverage and I do believe his is sufficiently notable to merit a rather short article. Would you be willing to review my draft below, since I am in a COI and should not be posting it? I am posting it here before taking it live into the draft space because you folks have an interest in comedy and what makes a comedian notable. Thanks in advance for any guidance. DanDavidCook ( talk) 23:13, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Here is my proposed draft:

Sheridan “Shed” Simove
Born	Cardiff, Wales, U.K.
Alma mater	Oxford University ( BA)
Occupation(s)	entertainer, author, entrepreneur

Sheridan "Shed" Simove is a British entertainer, author, entrepreneur, and creator of whimsical inventions, novelty products, and publicity stunts.

Early Life

Simove was born in Cardiff, Wales, in the U.K. He received his pre-university education in Cardiff and attended Oxford University (Balliol College) where he completed a degree in Experimental Psychology. ^[1]

Career

Simove began his career in television. In 2001, Simove posed as a 16-year-old schoolboy for eight weeks as part of a Channel 4 documentary called ‘Back to School.' When the head teacher heard about the real reason for the documentary, she escorted the film crew and Simove from the school grounds. ^[2] Following the documentary team rejection, it was decided to scrap the series and it never aired. ^[1]

Simove was subsequently appointed commissioning editor of ‘Big Brother’ in the United Kingdom in the mid-2000s. ^[3] After leaving his production position, he created many novelty products and ran guerrilla marketing campaigns. He also became an author after releasing his first book, ‘Ideas Man.’ ^[4]

In 2008, he created a currency called ‘The Ego.’ ^[5] As an entertainer, Simove appeared at The Edinburgh Fringe in 2009. ^[6]

Simove has written and released two novelty books. In 2011, his novelty book, ‘What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex’ was released, containing 200 blank pages ^[7] It became an Amazon bestseller, reaching #44 on Amazon sales charts. ^[4]

In 2012, Simove released ‘50 Shades of Gray’ This book also notably contained no content and was full of blank pages in different shades of grey. ^[8]

His invention ‘Shinder’ was a take on the popular dating app of a similar name, Tinder. Simove was the only male available to date on the platform. Tinder subsequently filed copyright infringement against the platform created by Simove. ^[9]

His campaign went on to win best Low Budget Campaign at the PRCA awards in 2017. ^[10]

In 2019, Simove was a speaker at TED in Vitosha, Bulgaria, on “How to be number one in a field of one?” ^[11]

Hello all. I have greatly expanded the article for English music hall comedian Tommy Trinder. There's some notable things I've been unable to find out - years for his divorce and second marriage, information about children and a source for the claim he invented a bar bet called Trinder's Impossibility - so if anyone can help there, that would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps a new quality rating could be done too? Thanks. Humbledaisy ( talk) 10:27, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

There is a titling RFC at Wikipedia talk:Article titles that will affect many articles at this project.

Could I get some more television minded folks to look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bounty Hunters (American TV series) in order to help establish a better consensus?

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 " Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith " Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

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.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{ WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

In the Wikipedia list of notable stand-up comedians, I notice that the late Bob Altman's stage-name, "Uncle Dirty", is not listed parenthetically after his name.
