Cleared the entire GA Review backlog for Media and drama
- Thank you all to all our editors who help to contribute to Quality improvement efforts on Wikipedia related to WP:WPMEDIA.
- I've helped to clear the entire GA Review backlog for Media and drama, which can be seen at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Topic lists/Media and drama.
- I'd like to make a suggestion, here, which is optional, for you to please consider:
- Suggestion: This suggestion is optional only, but I ask you to please at least read over the Good Article review instructions, and consider reviewing two to three (2-3) GA candidates from good articles nominations, for each one (1) that you nominate. Again, this is optional and a suggestion only, but please do familiarize yourself at least with how to review, and then think about it.
Thank you,

Help with Uproxx?
Hi, I'm posting to see if any editors here would be interested in reviewing a new draft I proposed for the Uproxx article. The entry suffers from incomplete and unencyclopedic content and also needs better sourcing. I tried to address all these things in my draft and would love any feedback about how I did.
You can find my draft and notes on the Talk page here. I was paid to research and write the draft for Uproxx as part of my work at Beutler Ink, so I won't make direct edits myself. Instead, I'm hoping other editors will make changes if they feel what I've proposed is an improvement over the current article. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 01:48, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Pack Journalism - Started Research
Hi everyone! My name is Marissa and I'm a student from St. Francis College in Brooklyn, NY who is working on editing Wikipedia content.

We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject Media/Archive 3/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject Media.
We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:
- The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
- The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
- The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).
We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject Media, and what articles may be deserving of more attention.

Seeking input on Woven Digital name change and update
Hello! I'm reaching out here to see if members of this WikiProject would be able to look at some updates for the digital media company, Uproxx Media Group (formerly Woven Digital), who own brands such as Uproxx and BroBible.

As I do have a conflict of interest, I'm seeking uninvolved editors to review the proposed draft and weigh in on the name change suggestion. Are there are any folks here who can help?

Disambiguation links on pages tagged by this wikiproject
Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages. It would be useful to readers if these links directed them to the specific pages of interest, rather than making them search through a list. Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.
A list of the relevant links on pages which fall within the remit of this wikiproject can be found at http://69.142.160.183/~dispenser/cgi-bin/topic_points.py?banner=WikiProject_Media

Requesting help to review proposed improvements to the Vox Media article
ResolvedHello, WikiProject Media! On behalf of Vox Media (the company that operates Vox (website), SB Nation and Polygon, among other sites), I am hoping to make some improvements to the company's Wikipedia article. I'm starting with a request here to remove a handful of problematic sources and change the infobox from "Template:Infobox website" to "Template:Infobox company", since Vox Media itself is not a website.
I will have additional improvements later, but for now, I'm seeking a volunteer to help with this initial request. Is a project member able to take a look at the suggested improvements and update the article accordingly? Thanks in advance. Inkian Jason (talk) 23:33, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 10:59, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
Draft articles for David Kramer and Jay Sures
Hello! I work for Executive Writing, and as part of my consultancy work, I've drafted new Wikipedia articles for David Kramer (talent agent) and Jay Sures, who serve as co-presidents of United Talent Agency. Both articles are currently in poor shape, and on their respective talk pages (Talk:David Kramer (talent agent) and Talk:Jay Sures) I've provided further detail about the problems with each. You can view my proposed drafts at User:EWChristine/David Kramer (talent agent) and User:EWChristine/Jay Sures. I realize these two biographies are tangentially related to Media, but I've posted a similar request at WikiProject Biography, and I've still not received any response. Are any WikiProject Film members willing to review the drafts and replace the existing articles? I believe I've disclosed my conflict of interest appropriately, but please let me know if not. Thank you in advance for any help. EWChristine (talk) 15:21, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Requested article: The MUTE Series
Hi there
Just wanted to politely alert you to a requested article about "The MUTE Series" :-) https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:New_user_landing_page&page=The+MUTE+Series
It's a web series so I figured that "media" was the most suitable WikiProject to post on.
Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest in that I am the creator of The MUTE Series. But I have 11 external links so I do believe it is notable.
Let me know if you need any other info.
Many thanks!

HELP WANTED
For a number of years we have been experiencing a steady decline in the number of administrators as a result of attrition and a declining number of editors willing to consider adminship. Things have reached a point where we are starting to experience chronic backlogs in important areas of the project including noticeboards, requests for closure, SPI, CSD & etc. If you are an experienced editor with around two years (or more) of tenure, 10k edits give or take and no record of seriously disruptive behavior, please consider if you might be willing to help out the community by becoming an administrator. The community can only function as well as we all are willing to participate. If you are interested start by reading WP:MOP and WP:RFAADVICE. Then go to WP:ORCP and open a discussion. Over the next few days experienced editors will take a look at your record and let you know what they think your chances are of passing RfA (the three most terrifying letters on Wikipedia) as well as provide you with feedback on areas that might be of concern and how to prepare yourself. You can find a list of experienced editors who may be willing to nominate you here. Finally, I may not have this page on my watchlist, so if you want to reply to me directly please ping me.

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) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello, |
Would some members of this WikiProject mind taking a look this article? It underwent a major expansion recently and lots of the content seems too detailed and perhaps a bit WP:UNDUE. There are various formatting and syntax errors as well as well as quite a bit of WP:Namechecking, but it's the overall tone and excessive amount of sections (some which seem redundant (like "Prestige" and "Awards") or not really warranting such detail (like "Website redesign") that makes the article (at least in my opinion) a bit promotional in nature. Someone obviously put some time into expanding the article, but perhaps they tried to add too much. -- Marchjuly (talk) 15:29, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Chronology categories for the arts
Please see Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2020 September 15#The arts, where I have proposed standardising the naming of by-year, by-decade and by-centuries for the arts.
Currently the by-century categories are named "in the arts", but the by-decade and by-year categories are named "in arts". I have proposed two options for a common format: either "in the arts" or "in arts". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:43, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Requests for MasterClass article
Hello! My name is Alyssa and I work for the online streaming platform MasterClass. I've disclosed this on my profile and at Talk:MasterClass, where I've proposed some changes to make the article more accurate and up to date. More specifically, I've asked to correct language about the company's founding and remove a sentence which is not specifically confirmed by sourcing. Editor feedback has been limited, so I'm hoping some editors from WikiProject Media can take a look and update the article for me. Thanks! MC Alyssa (talk) 01:32, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi there! I recently created this article, and I was curious if anyone wants to review it. I'm especially curious to see whether it meets notablility (I think it does, since I found several news stories about him, but I'm not sure), and how I can improve the writing style.

Players' Tribune Requests
Hi editors, I'm M and I work with Minute Media. I had made some requests over at The Players' Tribune Talk page and while they were initially implemented, they were later reverted due to some questions from another editor. I was hoping someone here might be willing to take another look at my requests, as I think they improve the page and help bring it more in compliance with Wikipedia rules. I know I can't make changes myself because of my conflict of interest, so I'd really appreciate any help you can offer! M at MinuteMedia (talk) 21:26, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
User script to detect unreliable sources
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.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
