Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Luxembourg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the talk page of the Luxembourg WikiProject! Here, you can discuss the goals and achievements of, or potential changes to, the WikiProject. Alternatively, if you're so inclined, you could ask how best the WikiProject could put your expertise and enthusiasm to good use, so as to improve the content of the English Wikipedia's coverage of Luxembourg.

This page will be archived periodically.

[edit] New lists

I have changed the criterion for inclusion of new lists. Now, all lists created in the past two months are eligible (rather than the previous one month). This was for two reasons:

1. There aren't enough lists created to justify a one month list.
2. Many lists are 'link banks', creating red links that can then be addressed by the creation of new articles. By increasing the profile of lists, which can be achieved by this loosening of the criterion, these red links can be eroded more quickly.

One must note that, by the standards of other WikiProjects, the criteria for the two 'new item' lists are still very restrictive. However, I have faith that there turnover will be high enough to keep the two lists ticking over. If someone wants to further relax the requirements, it only has to be proposed.

[edit] Provisional style conventions

I've just posted a list of provisional conventions to be adopted for the WikiProject. If you consider one or more of the provisional conventions to be inappropriate, you can do so here. They won't be adopted as permanent conventions for a while, so they'll be plenty of scope to amend them. Bastin 12:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging talk pages and assessing articles

Wikipedia Assessments within AWB. Click on the image to see it in better resolution

Hi. If you still have work to do tagging talk pages and assessing articles, my AWB plugin might be of interest to you.

The plugin has two main modes of operation:

• Tagging talk pages, great for high-speed tagging
• Assessments mode, for reviewing articles (pictured)

As of the current version, WikiProjects with simple "generic" templates are supported by the plugin without the need for any special programatic support by me. I've had a look at your project's template and you seem to qualify.

For more information see:

• About the plugin
• About support for "generic" WikiProject templates
• User guide
• About AWB (AutoWikiBrowser)

Hope that helps. If you have any questions or find any bugs please let me know on the plugin's talk page. --Kingboyk 13:55, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Project directory

Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory. This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 16:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
