== Tampa Bay Wikiproject == |

==US Collaboration reactivated & [[Portal:United States]] starting next== |
|||
[[User:Casliber|Casliber]] recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject United States|WikiProject United States]] about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See [[Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM]]. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration [[Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/Popular pages|here]] is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS. |
|||
Since the wikiproject has expanded to the Tampa Bay Area instead of Tampa, should St. Petersburg and Clearwater be top-importance on the Wikiproject like Tampa (since redirects for those cities also come here) and some contents of their articles such as their history? [[User:Adog104|'''<span style="color:#8FBCE6">A</span><span style="color:#092C5C">dog</span><span style="color:#F5D130">104</span>''']] <sup>[[User talk:Adog104|<span style="color:#2EB347">'''''Talk to me'''''</span>]]</sup> 15:43, 23 November 2015 (UTC) |
|||
The next item I intend to start updating is [[Portal:United States]] if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 19:29, 15 January 2011 (UTC) |

== Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital == |

The entry on Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is not up to date. It still lists the former CEO, who has been replaced due to the excessive mortality of the open heart surgery program. The program has been shut down until an investigation can be completed and the problem addressed. New administrators have been appointed. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/159.178.222.206|159.178.222.206]] ([[User talk:159.178.222.206#top|talk]]) 01:15, 12 December 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Do we have enough active wikipedians in Florida to form a chapter? I've created an entry for Florida at the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_United_States_Chapters_Council#WALRUS_committee Wikimedia United States Chapters Council] page. If a state-wide chapter will be too unwieldy, perhaps chapters based on the larger cities could be formed (i.e., South Florida, central Florida, northern Florida). -- [[User talk:Donald Albury|Donald Albury]] 21:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC) |

:Unfortunately, there hasn't been nearly enough Tampa Bay-based editor activity lately (or over the past couple of years) to justify a local chapter, imo. A state-wide chapter seems more likely. [[User:Zeng8r|Zeng8r]] ([[User talk:Zeng8r|talk]]) 21:35, 7 May 2011 (UTC) |

I think that we should attempt to re-start this project. It would be nice to have another group of people dedicated to making the Tampa Bay Area pages look better. --[[User:Cooper Norfolk|Cooper Norfolk]] ([[User talk:Cooper Norfolk|talk]]) 19:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC) |

It has been suggested that this project and its parent project of WikiProject Florida may be inactive or semi active and it might be beneficial to add them to the supported projects list of WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project page and the talk page it seems as though there have not been many edits to the main page or any discussions in several months. Before taking any action though I would like to hear from the members of the project to get their comments. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 00:00, 6 September 2011 (UTC) |

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the [[User:WP_1.0_bot|WP 1.0 Bot]]! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the [[:toolforge:enwp10/cgi-bin/pindex.fcgi|web tool]] that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables. |
|||
== Archived some threads == |
|||
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScK30kJtKQ3cp-QLY1VJhB94HP2q6437Cdk3E2rVRYHowcL4A/viewform?usp=sf_link this Google form] where you can leave your response.

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 '''[[meta:Grants:IEG/WikiProject X|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 [[User talk:Harej|talk page]]. Thank you for your time! <small>(Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.)</small> [[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC) |

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to [[WP:URS|unreliable sources]] and [[predatory journal]]s. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the [[Wikipedia:User scripts/Most imported scripts|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. (<code><nowiki>John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.</nowiki></code>) |
|||
and turns it into something like |
|||
* John Smith "{{highlight|[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]|pink}}" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14. |
|||
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{tl|cite web}}, {{tl|cite journal}} and {{tl|doi}}. |
|||
Hello everyone! |
|||
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. |

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject X|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, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject X|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! |
|||
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]]. |

This project page does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects: | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Tampa Bay Wikiproject

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
[edit]Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

User script to detect unreliable sources
[edit]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.
