Weird results from Reports bot

The 3 pages currently suggested by Reports bot as Not tagged by WikiProject Women's Health are Rose Chan, a Malaysian stripper, Erik Rhodes (pornographic actor), and Naomi Sims, an American supermodel. I have no idea how Reports bot decided these were related to WikiProject Women's Health, but they seem pretty far from the mark. Kaldari (talk) 04:19, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Kaldari, the reports are based on articles that are tagged in categories that are themselves tagged as part of the WikiProject. Because category relationships are not inherently transitive, there will be false positives from time to time. I would like to, at some point, be able to flag false positives so that they don't show up in a list again. Please let me know if anything should be clarified. Harej (talk) 02:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Ah, thanks for the explanation! Kaldari (talk) 02:32, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Major problem with Women in Red members lists

Hi Harej. Something has gone seriously wrong with the list of WiR members. If you go into Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red and press "View Full List" under "Meet our members!", you only get the first four names with a lot of strange details below. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Members. This needs to be corrected urgently as we are trying to attract new members. And it is impossible to see who has registered (or tried to register).--Ipigott (talk) 08:34, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

Rare Disease Day edit-a-thon

Thanks for taking the reins of DC! Hope y'all had a fun time. We had a nice huddle here in STL, including two first-time organizers of an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon, happening this coming Saturday. —Verbistheword (talk) 16:29, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Saturday, March 5: Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon @ MoMA

Saturday March 5, 10am-5pm: Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon @ MoMA

You are invited to join us for the MoMA Art+Feminism edit-a-thon on Saturday, to support the expansion of Wikipedia's coverage of women in the arts.

We encourage both people new to Wikipedia, and people who have experience editing online, or have joined us for past edit-a-thon events.

This is by far our biggest event of the year (over 200 participants in the last edition), and every extra hand counts, so please join and volunteer to help us engage new communities!

10:00am - 5:00pm (drop-in anytime!) at The Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Education and Research Building at the Museum of Modern Art, 4 West 54 Street - between 5th/6th, New York, NY 10019
Please note that this entrance is one block north of the main 53rd Street entrance, closer to 5th Avenue.

And bring your interested friends and colleagues!

For those outside of the city, or unable to join on Saturday, check out Art+Feminism regional and global events as well. --Pharos (talk) 21:48, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #199

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 7

Newsletter • February 2016

This month:

One database for Wikipedia requests

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,

Harej (talk) 01:43, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

  • Looks like a great idea. I have the feeling Project X is finally coming up with a range of useful new features. Perhaps those of us working in a number of areas could give you feedback on any prototypes you develop. I was also wondering whether it would be possible to create subsets for different areas, for example biographies (in relation to arts, science, leadership...), buildings (architecture), works (art, music, literature), towns and cities (countries, geography), etc. I'm sure Women in Red would also be interested in any features revealing red links on women.--Ipigott (talk) 07:55, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
I think we already have it, at least for Women in Red. See Category:Women in Red redlink lists.--Ipigott (talk) 07:16, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

re User:Reports bot

I'd sent you an email a week or two ago on this. Anything yu can do to help?

WiR talkpage archiving

Hi James, Can you please check on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red and see if you can sort out why it's not auto-archiving? I'm wondering if it has something to do with the move away from WikiProject Women. Thank you. --Rosiestep (talk) 14:52, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Possibly. I've made this change. Also pinging Σ who runs the bot. Harej (talk) 18:08, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
