There are currently well over 800 pages related to [[Coventry]] including many football-related pages. This project aims to improve and organise all of the Coventry pages with the cooperation of interested editors.

; Description : A project to coordinate pages on the city of [[Coventry]], England |
|||
This is a notice to let you know about '''''[[Wikipedia:Article alerts|Article alerts]]''''', a [[WP:BOTS|fully-automated]] subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for deletion]], [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment|Requests for comment]], [[Wikipedia:Peer review|Peer review]] and other workflows ([[Wikipedia:Article alerts#Workflows covered|full list]]). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found [[Wikipedia:Article alerts#Samples|here]]. |
|||
; Interested Wikipedians (please add your name) |
|||
If you are already subscribed to ''Article Alerts'', it is now easier to [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/Bugs|report bugs]] and [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/Feature requests|request new features]]. We are also in the process of implementing a [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts/News|"news system"]], which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the <code>display=none</code> parameter, but forget to '''give a link''' to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at [[Wikipedia talk:Article alerts]].<!--Addbot-WP-Message-Article-alerts-01--> |

Dis-appointed that both Mount Nod and Banner Brook Park have been removed, Eastern Green is not Mount Nod, and to some, a housing estate is of interest. It is significantly intereting to some people. |
|||
Also Banner brook Park is not part of Tile Hill, because it has significant interest because of its former factory site. It is a pity to shorten the facts by short casting. |

A query on the use of West Midlands templates. If we are using these templates then how are we to detect which articles are Coventry based and which relate to other areas of the West Midlands, as the templates put articles in to a bucket with all of the rest of the West Midlands. May be this should be handled as a workgroup of that project with a flag added to the template or may be serarate templates. Any thoughts? [[User:Keith D|Keith D]] ([[User talk:Keith D|talk]]) 10:45, 27 February 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:I am glad you raised that and I have written a user box, a project banner, and started various supporting pages. Will the talk pages have both a West Midlands project and a Coventry project banner? [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] ([[User talk:Snowmanradio|talk]]) 21:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::If you decide to go with separate template then I can run the script to set up the category structure for the bot. Need to get the bot set-up before tagging too many articles if we are using the assessments. Give me a shout if you want me to do this.

::::Unsure what the question is refering to - separate templates or performing assessments. But do not know if I can answer the former. On the assesments it is probably there to focus minds on the more important articles and to get them moving towards FA. Though on a wider scale they are used to select articles for the CD and other promotional things. The down side of the assessments is maintaining them as article changes are made.

== Request for information on WP1.0 web tool == |

== Assessments == |
|||
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. |
|||
I'm not entirely sure that I agree that all Coventry districts should be assessed as at least mid importance. Some districts or suburbs are effectively just housing schemes or residential areas of no particular note, importance, or historical significance or connection. To my mind these are of low importance, and though of course they need to be mentioned, some barely deserve a page to themselves. --[[User:Red Sunset|Red]] [[User talk:Red Sunset|<font style="color:#AA0000;">Su<font style="color:#DD0000;">ns<font style="color:#FF0000;">et</font></font></font>]] 21:23, 20 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:Some smaller housing estates would probably be minor importance, but the suburb that they are part of would surely be at least mid importance. I updated Hillfields, Tile Hill, Ball Hill, Bell Green and Wyken and other from low importance to mid importance which seems obvious to me. Tile Hill, Bell Green and Ball Hill might even be high importance as they all have shopping centers and other features. I changed others too, and perhaps some might need changing back to low. Any suggestions for the ones that need a review? Coventry suburbs would be mostly low importance to the WikiProject West Mildlands, but they are of higher importance to us in the WikiProject Coventry - that is partly why we have this project. [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] ([[User talk:Snowmanradio|talk]]) 11:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
::I agree, Coventry suburbs would be mostly low importance to the WikiProject West Mildlands, and some should be in high importance WP:Cov categories; but why have a low importance category if nothing qualifies? For that reason I feel that some districts should be of low importance ('''relatively speaking''' with all due respect to the district) re my earlier comments, and those that have for instance been instrumental in the growth and development of Coventry such as areas connected with watch-making, textile and ribbon weaving, motor manufacture etc., or for any other reason have or still contribute significantly to the City should be of high importance and deserve a review. Ok, shopping centres and the like ''are'' important to the local community, but IMHO in the scale of things they are not ''that'' important and a "Mid" rating is suitable. Of course, all this is purely my opinion, and possibly not that of anyone else, so for consistency, should we have some sort of importance guideline with suggested parameters and conditions to refer to when assessing? --[[User:Red Sunset|Red]] [[User talk:Red Sunset|<font style="color:#AA0000;">Su<font style="color:#DD0000;">ns<font style="color:#FF0000;">et</font></font></font>]] 17:51, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |

:Hopefully there will be agreement of objective opinions, and formal guidelines are not be needed at this juncture. The general wiki guidelines are always followed, of course. [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] ([[User talk:Snowmanradio|talk]]) 18:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC) |

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?

== Scope and goals == |
|||
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}}. |
|||
Before we start getting into the assessments and improving articles etc., we need to develop a scope and and set of goals for the WikiProject and publish them on the main project page. The main page looks unfinished and needs to properly explain what the project is about and how it works. I'm just a bit worried that we are trying to run before we can walk. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] ([[User talk:Erebus555|talk]]) 19:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:In the first line "Project to improve and organise the articles about Coventry." [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] ([[User talk:Snowmanradio|talk]]) 22:19, 21 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
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. |
|||
::Something more specific, though. For example "Get Coventry to Featured Article status." Although, that is a good start, at least. - [[User:Erebus555|Erebus555]] ([[User talk:Erebus555|talk]]) 16:23, 22 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
:::That is one goal but it is too specific for the introduction of the project page, I think. When people want to start to work on that goal they will list it in the improvement drive section. For me, the aims as they are stated are fine. I feel that the current pages that are most likely to reach GA (lets leave FA out of it at the moment) are Philip Larkin and Frank Whittle. The Philip Larkin page has had a lot of work recently. [[User:Snowmanradio|Snowman]] ([[User talk:Snowmanradio|talk]]) 17:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC) |
|||
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 page has archives. Sections older than 28 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 4 sections are present. |
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible.

An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

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.
