Requested lists at WP:AFC

Just wanted to inform the project that I've submitted several requested Sparticus Educational lists at WP:AFC:

72.74.205.23 (talk) 14:44, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

The above is now all sorted, with all pages consolidated into 5 pages. Wikipedia:WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/MadMax_List/24. After all the verified blue links are removed (which there is a lot), it may be possible to put all 5 pages into one big list on page 24. If anyone has time to look over the blue links and remove them as appropriate, it would be kindly appreciated. :)Calaka (talk) 10:52, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Comment: I have a pruned version for the MurderUK.com section but I can't update the it since the website is apparently blacklisted. Do I need to remove the weblinks to the individual articles or should the whole section go? 72.74.205.168 (talk) 07:04, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
Ah yes, I am not sure why it is blacklisted but if its possible, maybe add a link to the webiste without the link (i.e. instead of "[www.website.com/example]", then replace it with "www.website.com/example"). No need to remove the whole section, only remove the articles that already exist. While the website is blacklisted the potential articles (criminals or other people) may possibly be notable and so it would be good to keep the list here, with or without the links. I hope that helps.Calaka (talk) 08:17, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Redirects for the Slam wrestling list:

  1. Robbie McAllistair > The Highlanders (professional wrestling)
  2. Rory McAllistair > The Highlanders (professional wrestling)
Comment. I'm thinking a few of these might be typos instead of alternate spellings. Bronko Nargurski (Bronko Nagurski), for example, doesn't appear on a Google Book search. 72.74.204.245 (talk) 08:41, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Are the misspellings on the source or on the list? If they are misspellings in the source, then maybe they can be potential redirects (as it shows it is a common misspelling as another book or website that talks about these topics then it has potential to be mispelled when someone is searching for it. However, if they were mispelled when the person who compiled the lists mispelled then its up to you to make a judgement as to whether the typo is a likely typo that many other people would make and hence a redirect would be helpful. If the typo is unlikely then you can remove the item from the list after checking to make sure the correct spelling is already covered on wikipedia. Hope this helps.Calaka (talk) 11:24, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
The links that were possible typos were those from 1-9 originally listed on User:MPJ-DK/references#The Hall of Fame: The Canadians, a pro wrestling book. I did double check the names but only Bronko Nargurski and Eduardo Carpentier were the ones that stood out. Normally, I'd fix an obvious typo but I wasn't sure if I was allowed to edit private pages. 72.74.204.245 (talk) 23:56, 27 August 2016 (UTC)
Yeah editing other's pages shouldn't be a problem, as long as you tell them in the edit summary why. Thank you so much for all your hard work!Calaka (talk) 06:55, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
I made redirects for one I could confirm and removed them. I will leave others to double check if a redirect is appropriate.Calaka (talk) 09:20, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

Women in Red lists

WikiProject Women in Red wants your biographies

I've added a large set of Women in red links to the main page ... they seem appropriate for this page - the lists are a combination of hand-collated, and derived from wikipedia, of missing encyclopedic articles. Right now, there are five times as many biographies of men as there are of women on wikipedia - see the Wikidata Human Gender Indicators page. I hope addition of links to ths page will encourage users to addressing this imbalance by creating biographies for women. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:41, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Biographical Directory of the US Congress

I wonder whether we have an article for each of the ~12900 persons listed in the Google search site:http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay? Relevant: Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress/Bioguide. 103.6.159.80 (talk) 06:52, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Project reorganisation

The project goals section notes that Since main goals are very close to completion, secondary lists from outside sources have been added to the project as secondary goals. The main goals of the project should still remain the main focus. But that piece of text has been there since 2005! And the main goals haven't been completed even now. In order to improve performance, I suggest that we remove most of the garbage that's cluttering the right hand side of the Lists section. How are pages like User:Magnus Manske/People list and even Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Samurai films useful at all? They don't tell how the list was compiled nor do they link to the sources for article creation. The rightful place for such pages to belong is Category:Wikipedia red link lists or Category:Wikipedia missing topics.

I propose that we remove all the lists which don't link to any potential sources for the article or weren't created in any systematic way. This is to ensure that projects like the bio directories (which are easy to go by as one good source is definitely available - and it's linked there) get greater attention. 103.6.159.80 (talk) 14:46, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

One thing which I think might be very useful would be to have someone go through, for instance, Encyclopedia Britannica, and make a list of the named subsections of macropedia articles of a given predetermined length which might be considered sufficient for establishing spinout? John Carter (talk) 15:48, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

BOLD changes

I have just implemented some bold changes:

  • Lists that did not specify a source and which did provide any other useful information for creating articles have been moved to Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Tertiary focus, which is linked from the main page. Obviously, it's quite difficult to work on these lists.
  • Women in Red red lists have been removed, as they are simply too much of clutter. Besides, the lists are not in a template and their inclusion necessitates frequent updates. It's also worth noting that the WiR project is far more active, so why do those lists need to be listed here?

103.6.159.68 (talk) 09:51, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Women are simply too much clutter. Really. Get back in your cave, 103.6.159.68. They are missing encyclopedia articles. That's why they're listed here. Many lists on this page originate somewhere else, so that's no disqualification. Manyusers will be aware of this page and nor WiR, and so that's why they're listed here. Please understand that removing redlink lists from this project is not acceptable. --Tagishsimon (talk) 14:52, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

There are a large number of biographies similar to [1] and [2] and [3] at this website, the vast majority of which don't seem to have Wikipedia articles. I wonder whether the people are notable. Note that the pages that contain the bios are noindexed (don't show up in Google search), although the parent page (like [4]) isn't. 103.6.159.80 (talk) 07:04, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

FWIW, i think we should generate a wikilinked list of the subjects of all those biographies in the site. I shall make a request for this at wp:request a query. 103.6.159.75 (talk) 13:21, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

420 Collaboration

Just thought I'd share about the upcoming 420 Collaboration, which displays a list of missing cannabis-related Wikipedia articles. I wonder if Wikipedia:WikiProject Cannabis/Redlinks should be tied to this project somehow? ---Another Believer (Talk) 04:38, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Adding "Modern Firearms" to "Others" of the sub-section "Secondary focus" on the list section

As title, since the list contains Wikipedia:WikiProject Aircraft/Missing articles but not Maxim Popenker's online encyclopaedia of firearms and ammunition of the 20th and 21st centuries, Modern Firearms, which is absurd because in some countries civilian gun ownership is popular, and there are still some firearms and ammunition which are included in Modern Firearms but not in the English Wikipedia (e.g. SR-1 Vector).--RekishiEJ (talk) 10:31, 15 June 2018 (UTC) Added "in " 10:32, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Articles on Simple English Wikipedia that are not on English

I just copied Lee Sang-Bong. There are likely more, I was trying to run a query on Wikidata ([5]) and with some help got it to work (668 results for people alone): this list should probably be exported here, presumably some of them at least are notable (of course there are false positives - articles spammed across many projects and deleted from en wiki but not nominated elsewhere, like this one or this one). Any list we create should have a place for checkbox to indicate whether something wasn't deleted. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:01, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Redlists at WikiProject Women in Red

At Women in Red, we have completely revamped our index to redlists; though we have redirects in place for many of the old pages, there are lots of new ones that are getting added all the time. One big change is that links to the crowd-sourced lists and to the Wikidata lists are now found side by side on the index, not in separate sections. This is just FYI, but you might want to update the links here to the WiR lists. Cheers! NotARabbit (talk) 02:25, 25 June 2018 (UTC)

Another

We should perhaps include Wikipedia:Free On-line Dictionary of Computing if we haven't. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:27, 6 December 2018 (UTC).

Please add these two to list

Hi, under "Specialized encyc. (Religion)," could you add the Christian Cyclopedia (2000)? It is an update of the 1975 Erwin Louis Lueker Lutheran Cyclopedia, which was an update of the 1954 Lutheran Cyclopedia, which may have drawn off of the multi-denominational Jacobs-Haas 1899 Lutheran Cyclopedia. As for the last one, it is on full view on Google Books, and it is still used sometimes. Could someone add the Jacobs-Haas 1899 Lutheran Cyclopedia under "Specialized encyc. (Religion)" as well? Thanks.--Epiphyllumlover (talk) 05:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!

A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

A proposal for WikiJournals to become a new sister project

Over the last few years, the WikiJournal User Group has been building and testing a set of peer reviewed academic journals on a mediawiki platform. The main types of articles are:

  • Existing Wikipedia articles submitted for external review and feedback (example)
  • From-scratch articles that, after review, are imported to Wikipedia (example)
  • Original research articles that are not imported to Wikipedia (example)

Proposal: WikiJournals as a new sister project

From a WP:MEA point of view, it would be an additional new article route for content contribution from external experts.

It also acts as a quality-control mechanism for existing Wikipedia articles, complementary to Featured articles, using established scholarly practices, and generating citable, doi-linked publications.

Missing missings

This person is in five biographical dictionaries, the Dictionary of Irish Writers, the The Concise Oxford Companion to Irish Literature, the Dictionary of Irish Architects, the New Dictionary of Ulster Biography, and the Dictionary of Irish Biography. Yet when I submitted this to my personal AFC it had zero entries on any missing article lists, user or project. We're obviously missing some redlink lists. Uncle G (talk) 01:38, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Not all topics meet Wikipedia's standards for Notability

I apologize in advance if this question has been asked before - I searched the archives and could not find it. Some items on these lists may not meet WP's Notability criteria. For example, David Tweedie (1865-1934, Scottish mathematician) is on the Wikipedia:MacTutor Archive. But thorough investigation can only find that he was a mathematics teacher. That is a fine profession, but well short of GNG or NPROF. So should the article be published anyway, knowing that it will probably just be deleted? Or is there some way to feed back that it should be removed from the list?--Gronk Oz (talk) 08:32, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

I should mention a confusing factor: there are several other people of this name, including David Tweedie and Dave Tweedie. Care is needed to be sure that a references relates to the right one.--Gronk Oz (talk) 00:08, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
To be clear, you mean this guy, yes? DS (talk) 13:51, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
@DragonflySixtyseven: Yes, that's him. He is just one example of the general question, but probably as good as any... --Gronk Oz (talk) 14:19, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Contact the MacTutor people, ask what their sources were? DS (talk) 17:45, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Is there a way we can check against the corpus of Encyclopedia.com?

Per my comment at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#‎Encyclopedia.com, I think that it would be reasonable to check our corpus against that of Encyclopedia.com, which is itself an aggregator of content from a variety of generally reliable sources. A quick glance suggests that there will be very little that they have that we don't, and some of that would be unencyclopedic by our standards, but I still think that it would be useful to be able to check their content against our own. Cheers! BD2412 T 04:39, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Two question involving Greek Letter Organizations.

  1. ) Is there any way to get the list of the most common redlinks made up entirely of spelled out Greek Letters? So Alpha Zeta Zeta Psi etc. (https://tools.wmflabs.org/grep/index.php?lang=en&project=wikipedia&namespace=0&pattern=%5E%28%28Alpha%7CBeta%7CGamma%7CDelta%7CEpsilon%7CZeta%7CEta%7CTheta%7CIota%7CKappa%7CLambda%7CMu%7CNu%7CXi%7COmicron%7CPi%7CRho%7CSigma%7CTau%7CUpsilon%7CPhi%7CChi%7CPsi%7COmega%29+%7B0%2C1%7D%29*%24) gives the current articles)
  2. ) Would it be appropriate to add Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities to the list of Encyclopedias? This could be either the 1923 edition which is the most recent one no longer under copyright or the most recent edition, which is 1991 (I own a copy).Naraht (talk) 15:04, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
  • I would suggest uploading the list for the 1923 edition, and then making a separate note of any specific missing entries exclusive to the 1991 edition. BD2412 T 04:55, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Who's Who

Can we reasonably assume that people in Marquis Who's Who - the earlier editions, anyway - probably meet notability criteria? Here's the 1901-02 edition, for instance. DS (talk) 16:58, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Looks notable to me, the names will need to be extracted from the book (via a bot? as by hand would take a while), put in a list, and linked so we can see what exists and what doesn't. Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 10:07, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
At my request, KSFT extracted the OCR'd names and produced a (somewhat noisy) linked list; I am gradually cleaning it up, and will add it to the main project page when it's ready. DS (talk) 13:48, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Fantastic, there may be a few tools online to remove noisy or strange syntax (if there were any weird symbols that came out from the extraction etc, or even a control f - replace function on microsoft word or excel. Good luck.Calaka (talk) 05:35, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
If you are cleaning up a notable public-domain OCR'd work, please consider putting it on Wikisource. That will preserve your hard work and also make it easier to cite here at Wikipedia. -Arch dude (talk) 04:12, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

New Research: Characterizing Existing Practices for Identifying and Mitigating Knowledge Gaps

Hi All,

My name is Jim Maddock, and I’m with a researcher at Northwestern University working on identifying missing content on Wikipedia. As a first step, we want to talk to members of Wikipedia’s editor community to better understand how editors currently identify and add missing content. Participants must be Wikipedia editors who speak English and will be compensated for their time.

For more details about our project, please refer to our project meta page. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this screener and consent form. Additionally, feel free to reach out to me at maddock@u.northwestern.edu if you have any thoughts and suggestions. Thanks!

Hi!

I'm back after a long hiatus. I really love the idea of identifying articles some of other Wikipedias have and we don't, like this one. I'd like to update the page and also create more lists of articles we lack and other language versions enjoy having, but could anyone please tell me how to do it? Topbanana (talk · contribs), who created the page, seems to have left Wikipedia, unfortunately. --BorgQueen (talk) 23:05, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
