Tampa Bay Wikiproject

[edit]

Since the wikiproject has expanded to the Tampa Bay Area instead of Tampa, should St. Petersburg and Clearwater be top-importance on the Wikiproject like Tampa (since redirects for those cities also come here) and some contents of their articles such as their history?

Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital

[edit]

The entry on Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital is not up to date. It still lists the former CEO, who has been replaced due to the excessive mortality of the open heart surgery program. The program has been shut down until an investigation can be completed and the problem addressed. New administrators have been appointed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.178.222.206 (talk) 01:15, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Re-starting the Project

[edit]

I think that we should attempt to re-start this project. It would be nice to have another group of people dedicated to making the Tampa Bay Area pages look better. --Cooper Norfolk (talk) 19:15, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, it should be converted into a Task Force, similar to Wikipedia:WikiProject Long Island, which was converted into a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject New York (state). ---------User:DanTD (talk) 13:16, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

[edit]

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) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

2021 and forward

[edit]

If the project were to be active, the main thing would be to get more people to join. I imagine a lot of wiki editors live in Tampa which is a young city that is growing fast. AustinZeli (talk) 18:19, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

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.
