Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

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.

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 this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:23, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Biased expression "self-proclaimed" NKR in WP articles

There are plenty of articles with the expression "self-proclaimed" NKR and "Armenian occupation" even for places exclusively inhabited by Armenians. There are Azeri users reverting my edits (trying to get a NPOV) back to these biased, pro-Azeri expressions. As we should know, actually all nations are "self-proclaimed", including Azerbaijan (seceding from the Soviet Union), the United States (seceding from Great Britain) and others. Let's use neutral expressions such as "under control" instead of "under occupation" or omit unnecessary and biased wordings like "self-proclaimed". -- PhJ (talk) 21:10, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

"Self-proclaimed" is added to note that republic is not recognised by any single UN member. This is the norm for any unrecognised countries (e.g. North Cyprus) and "Armenian-occupied" should only be added to areas outside Nagorno-Karabakh that were occupied by Armenian forces during the First Nagorno-Karabakh war. It doesn't matter if the village/town had Armenian-majority since this doesn't change the fact that international law calls these lands specifically "occupied" and for sure, you can't argue that UN, PACE or OSCE is biased. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 21:19, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

All nations are "self-proclaimed", but not all of those proclamations are internationally recognized. Also, we've discussed the usage of the term "occupation" here. Also, avoid canvassing others. --► Sincerely: SolaVirum 07:01, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

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.

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Artsakh:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

wikiproject revival?

given recent events, it may be prudent to revive this wikiproject in order to deal with all of the articles (towns, monasteries, etc) and statistics that will now need to be updated. obviously the situation will continue developing and it remains to be seen what will happen to the remaining population as well as the government, but i think it's important to start preparing for an overhaul of the neglected articles within the scope of this wikiproject.

i've moved all of the tasks on the main page into a to do page, but haven't removed or reviewed any of them. that will be a very important task; there are lots of "articles that need to be created" that probably don't meet WP:N criteria, could be merged into a single article to be created, etc. Sawyer-mcdonell (talk) 04:16, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Artsakh is about to disappear. This WikiProject shouldn't even exist. Everything could be perfectly covered in WikiProject Armenia/Azerbaijan. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 08:53, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

if you don't want to participate in the WP, that's fine - your contributions to the topic are still appreciated Sawyer-mcdonell (talk) 16:41, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
