[edit] WP:AUSTRALIA

Y Done - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Cleanup listing. --B. Wolterding (talk) 09:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Swift response :) Very nice. Two questions... how regular are these lists available, and would it be too much to ask to have lists provided for the many subprojects of WikiProject Australia? Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 09:33, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
The lists are updated once every 1 or 2 months, based on the availability of data dumps, which I have no influence on. Listings for subprojects are no problem; I generate them using a bot. Just provide me with a comprehensive list showing
  • The project page of the subproject,
  • the category in which the subproject articles (or rather their talk pages) can be found.
However, my response might not be that swift... also because the bot has not yet been fully approved. But a few days delay shouldn't really matter I think. --B. Wolterding (talk) 10:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:COMICS

Y Done - Listing is at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Cleanup listing. Note that this is a rather large project, with about 3800 articles flagged for cleanup. For size reasons, all listings with >1000 articles are suppressed - please contact me if you need the full listing. --B. Wolterding (talk) 17:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks. Wow. That's rather large. I'll see how we get through this lot, and then get back to you on the larger list. Hiding T 11:06, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New list

I think I'm the only one using it as yet, although I could be wrong. I do find it very useful, yes and have no suggestions or complaints with the format. If you can do them by workgroup, the Marvel Comics, DC Comics and Comics creators workgroups are probably the best ones to do. The first two have the largest body of editors, the latter has the greatest concern regarding WP:BLP. Hopefully other editors will start to recognise the issues and work on cleanup. Thanks once again for doing this. Hiding T 10:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done - Listings for the three workgroups have been created. For links see reverse... well, see User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings#Tracking. Please announce these listings to the workgroups. --B. Wolterding (talk) 15:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Christianity project

[edit] Reply from WPEQ

In response to your questions on the WP Equine talk page...

The listings that you create are extremely helpful in knowing which pages in our project need cleanup and other work. There is no other tool that I (or seemingly anyone else in our project) has found that gives such a comprehensive, yet simple, view of which articles should be at the top of our priority list.

The older version of the listing worked well, and the new format is even better and more helpful! This would be a great tool to offer on a wider scale, and I think that it would be of great benefit to WP if every active project had a listing to work from.

Only a comment (not a complaint): would it be possible to add articles with NPOV and wikify tags to the listing? I think I read on one of your pages that these two categories are formatted differently (or something like that), which is why they're not already included. However, having these two categories added to the listing would be fantastic, and make a helpful tool even better.

Thank you for all the work you've done! Dana boomer (talk) 12:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your response - yes, I can include NPOV and Wikify from the next listing on. (Articles with COI tags, which might be seen has a "subgroup" of NPOV, are already included.) --B. Wolterding (talk) 12:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religion Projects

Regretably, the WikiProject Religion is not one of the most active projects out there, which is one of the reasons why I sought the cleanup listing, as it could give me an idea what needs work. Having such a central listing of the articles needing work, however, is an extremely useful tool. Personally, I think most if not all WikiProjects, particularly those with fewer active participants, would welcome such information, as it saves those few active editors the need of having to go through all the articles themselves to locate such tags. I think such a listing would be very welcome by virtually all active projects. John Carter (talk) 15:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP:DINO

Hi B.W.,

I just saw your posting on the Village Pump. The clean-up listings look like they could be useful for Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs. The banner is {{WikiProject Dinosaurs}}. It looks like 4% of our articles need some clean-up. How do we obtain the list? Firsfron of Ronchester 13:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Y Done - I have created the listing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Cleanup listing. Please announce it to the project. --B. Wolterding (talk) 14:04, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Will do! Thanks so much! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 14:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
