Disambiguation link notification for April 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 3

Greetings! For this month's issue...

We have demos!

After a lengthy research and design process, we decided for WikiProject X to focus on two things:

  • A WikiProject workflow that focuses on action items: discussions you can participate in and tasks you can perform to improve the encyclopedia; and
  • An automatically updating WikiProject directory that gives you lists of users participating in the WikiProject and editing in that subject area.

We have a live demonstration of the new WikiProject workflow at WikiProject Women in Technology, a brand new WikiProject that was set up as an adjunct to a related edit-a-thon in Washington, DC. The goal is to surface action items for editors, and we intend on doing that through automatically updated working lists. We are looking into using SuggestBot to generate lists of outstanding tasks, and we are looking into additional options for automatic worklist generation. This takes the burden off of WikiProject editors to generate these worklists, though there is also a "requests" section for Wikipedians to make individual requests. (As of writing, these automated lists are not yet live, so you will see a blank space under "edit articles" on the demo WikiProject. Sorry about that!) I invite you to check out the WikiProject and leave feedback on WikiProject X's talk page.

Once the demo is sufficiently developed, we will be working on a limited deployment on our pilot WikiProjects. We have selected five for the first round of testing based on the highest potential for impact and will scale up from there.

While a re-designed WikiProject experience is much needed, that alone isn't enough. A WikiProject isn't any good if people have no way of discovering it. This is why we are also developing an automatically updated WikiProject directory. This directory will surface project-related metrics, including a count of active WikiProject participants and of active editors in that project's subject area. The purpose of these metrics is to highlight how active the WikiProject is at the given point of time, but also to highlight that project's potential for success. The directory is not yet live but there is a demonstration featuring a sampling of WikiProjects.

Each directory entry will link to a WikiProject description page which automatically list the active WikiProject participants and subject-area article editors. This allows Wikipedians to find each other based on the areas they are interested in, and this information can be used to revive a WikiProject, start a new one, or even for some other purpose. These description pages are not online yet, but they will use this template, if you want to get a feel of what they will look like.

We need volunteers!

WikiProject X is a huge undertaking, and we need volunteers to support our efforts, including testers and coders. Check out our volunteer portal and see what you can do to help us!

As an aside...

Wouldn't it be cool if lists of requested articles could not only be integrated directly with WikiProjects, but also shared between WikiProjects? Well, we got the crazy idea of having experimental software feature Flow deployed (on a totally experimental basis) on the new Article Request Workshop, which seeks to be a place where editors can "workshop" article ideas before they get created. It uses Flow because Flow allows, essentially, section-level categorization, and in the future will allow "sections" (known as "topics" within Flow) to be included across different pages. What this means is that you have a recommendation for a new article tagged by multiple WikiProjects, allowing for the recommendation to appear on lists for each WikiProject. This will facilitate inter-WikiProject collaboration and will help to reduce duplicated work. The Article Request Workshop is not entirely ready yet due to some bugs with Flow, but we hope to integrate it into our pilot WikiProjects at some point.

Coral terminology

When describing species of coral there are many technical terms which I do not think are adequately covered in Wikipedia. Examples are coenosteum, coenosarc, septa, costa, corallite, massive, foliose, meandroid, phaceloid etc., though there is a comprehensive article on polyp. I could write some stub articles on the different topics to expand our coverage, or I would prefer to write a more comprehensive article, or list, on "Coral terminology". What do you think of the idea? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:26, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cwmhiraeth. I know very little about coral (Anthozoa), so I am not a good person to ask. You might perhaps ask Epipelagic and Materialscientist, who have both made a number of edits on the main article. Invertzoo (talk) 11:38, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for April 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Going Too Far, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page National Lampoon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks!

Thank you for taking an interest in Predator-prey reversal. When I saw the article I had no idea the term existed, but it quickly became clear that there was an abundant literature (har, har). Your work to edit and improve the article is appreciated. It's nice to see a new topic being fleshed out so quickly. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:12, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's really nice that you appreciated what I did to the article. It can be really rewarding to polish up a promising article. I also did not know this term existed, so I learned quite a lot! Invertzoo (talk) 19:32, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article

Thanks for your thanks! I wish I could get a picture of Bathymodiolus tangaroa though... FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 15:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can always try writing to one or more of the authors of the published papers on this species, asking if there is an image available that is not copyrighted. You may not get anywhere with the request, but you can try, if you can be bothered. Invertzoo (talk) 16:41, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Or if perhaps there is a shell on display in a museum somewhere, you could take a picture of it yourself. Invertzoo (talk) 16:42, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Those are two good ideas I could try! FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 22:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I hope you manage to get somewhere with that. Let me know if anything comes through. Invertzoo (talk) 23:17, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Assistance or advice on page

Hi Invertzoo Thank you for your comments on the Britannia Beach page. I appreciate your comments and suggestions and have done my best to make the edits and corrections to the page. The images have disappeared and though I addressed issues of ownership in wikimedia commons with emails and information from the image owners, indeed, the images were put online at the owners request, they have still be removed and I can only assume it is due to copyright issues. Can you assist with this? Wikimedia commons allows for upload of pictures that are not your own creation but then how to prove permission and copyright?

Thanks. Evolve Multimedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evolve Multimedia (talk • contribs) 21:26, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK Medal

The 25 DYK Medal for Invertzoo
Congratulations! You surely deserve this one. Here's a medal for you in appreciation of your hardwork in creating/expanding 25+ articles for DYK. I see you are around fifty now! On your way to silver! Well done, Invertzoo! ----Daniel Cavallari (talk) 22:43, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

How sweet of you Daniel to think of doing this! I was pretty active with DYKs for a while, often working with someone else who has since retired from Wikipedia. I haven't submitted one for a very long time. Today I met with someone from WikiEd. I talked to him about a few things we really need in the Gastropods Project.
