Another GA, guys! Dihydrogen Monoxide ( H2O) 07:29, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
This sounds like a pretty obvious answer, since the active participants are often active, but I want to list them as bold on the project page. -- linca linca 06:00, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi guys, I've just recently joined Wikipedia and your wonderful project for an awesome band, and I thought I'd try my hand at creating the Paul Piticco article listed as needed. Any comments, criticisms, suggestions, tips, or improvements to the article are welcomed and appreciated. jmfarquhar 03:51, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I was just checking out the list of Stub articles from the link on the project page and I saw that the talk page for " Talk:Belter (song)" is still active. So I just deleted the references to wikiprojects, dunno if we need to formally delete the talk page. Also I'm sure there's probably other dead pages that need cleaning up. Slabba 07:32, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, we've got Passenger up to GA now, so what onto now? Should we all unite and put all of our efforts towards improving the Powderfinger article to get it to FA? Sebi has started a Musical style scratchpad for anybody who wants to contribute there (use the talk page there to discuss it too). As it looks like the Side Projects page will be deleted, not for due reason, but because consensus seems to point that way, I'm going to keep the code for the page on one of my subpages and implement it on the Powderfinger page if it's deleted. Sebi and H2O have given heaps of work towards improving the referencing on the Powderfinger article, and so now we're looking very good to make this a reality. Who's in for this? It'll prepare us to easily get Bernie up to GA (and perhaps up to FA). -- linca linca 04:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I've just been adding some reviews to Double Allergic, Internationalist, and Odyssey Number Five to expand the articles a bit. Let me know what you think, there is still room for improvement I reckon, but it's a start. Slabba 06:35, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Whilst it says on the ARIA site that Tom Whitten of Powderfinger was nominated for Engineer of the Year for "Automatic" in 1996 [1], there is a discussion on this forum that it doesn't exist and may in fact supposed to be Double Allergic [2]. I don't reckon we need to create a page, as a nomination for Engineer of the Year for a song no one seems to have heard of doesn't seem very notable :-) Slabba 07:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
I like what's been done to the "These Days" page, amazing what happens when you add a little extra info to the page :-) I reckon it could almost get upgraded from Start class. It must be close to B class at least. Slabba 05:39, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I'd really like to get an "Influences" section up and running before the article goes to FAC. Below I've compiled a list of a few interviews with members of the band which discuss influences, so if anyone would like to try their hand at adding to what I've proposed further below.
On different occasions, Powderfinger have cited their influences as <influences here>...
Spebi 06:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Sooo...... Nick DiDia now is articled. Quite an impressive resume he has, might I say! The article needs a LOT of expansion, but it's created now. Go sick! -- linca linca 09:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
It's official! Music video available here. Release date: December 1 (my birthday!). Hopefully, some other RS will make mention of it, and we can get an article up soon. Dihydrogen Monoxide 03:08, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
... here :) Spebi 09:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why no one has created a comment about Dream Days becoming a featured article. Anyway, well done to you guys who did some great work on the article in bringing it to FA status. Slabba ( talk) 06:40, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay, so now we have a Featured Powderfinger article. Woot! How about we now get all of the albums and members up to B class (and maybe even put a couple up for GA just for kicks to see what we can do to improve them) and once everything's considerably stabler and better than now, we launch into making Powderfinger a featured group? -- linca linca 03:47, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi all. I'm having a bit of trouble working out the order these were released in. I could only find a source saying "Since You've Been Gone" was released in March 2004, and I know Sunsets was released in June (it's a GA, etc.). At the same time, IIRC SYBG came after Sunsets. Any thoughts/ideas? — Dihydrogen Monoxide 06:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
... has been created :) Portal:Powderfinger. Help required – start by filling in some of the gaps in the Selected content, making sure to keep the selected picture and article different. If you can dig up some old DYKs, feel free to add them to the DYK talk page. Spebi 20:09, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I've done some work on Mr Kneebone, but can't find track times. If anybody can find them, please post them, because I think it's ready to go to GA pretty soon. A review or two would be of a lot of help too, though. -- linca linca 03:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've just done some work over here, but I still feel it needs some more TLC before I put it up for GA. Anybody? -- rm 'w a vu 11:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
As of November 1, PF newsletters are hosted online at http://www.powderfinger.com/12all/index.php?action=archive&mode=archive&nl_search=1 Wikipedia:WikiProject Powderfinger/Fanclub will no longer be updated (unless someone wants to make a backup).

"
I Don't Remember", one of our first GAs for a song, is now at
Peer Review, because we want to see if we can pop this up as a Featured article. Then, we only need to get "
Black Tears" and "
Nobody Sees" up to GA (both are on that trajectory now), and we can submit Dream Days as a Featured Topic. Not much work, huh? Okay, it is a bit of work, but it should be fine. Just a bit of time. Can't hurt us, can it? Anyway, everybody spam tap the shoulder of people who know how to peer review and point them in IDR's direction. The more peer review, the better, because more improvement only consolidates the chances of passing the FAC successfully. --

Why is Parables for Wooden Ears under the scope of WP:HMM, yet no other PF articles are? — Burningclean [ Speak the truth! 05:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme! For the 1.0 Editorial Team, §hepBot ( Disable) 21:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
I created Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies/Newsletter/Current and updated it with August 2007's newsletter (the most recent one I could find). The page was created so that Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Newsletters doesn't have to be continuously updated. After you create each new newsletter just paste the entire newsletter on this page and it will update it on the main newsletters' page. -- Nehrams2020 ( talk) 00:07, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:16, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello prolific Powderfinger fans. Per last year, we are now closing in on another milestone for AUS, with 178 current GAs. Well, since this topic participated immensely during the GA drive last year, this is another rallying cry to WP:AWNB/A. YellowMonkey ( bananabucket) 04:55, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 03:48, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, many wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced BLP articles if they are not sourced, so your project may want to source these articles as soon as possible. See the next, message, which may help.
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here
If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles that your project covers, to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip
Ikip 05:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles ( BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.
The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>> Wikipedia:WikiProject Powderfinger/Unreferenced BLPs<<<
If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.
Thank you.
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Powderfinger articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

I have created together with Smallman12q a toolserver tool that shows a weekly-updated list of cleanup categories for WikiProjects, that can be used as a replacement for WolterBot and this WikiProject is among those that are already included (because it is a member of Category:WolterBot cleanup listing subscriptions). See the tool's wiki page, this project's listing in one big table or by categories and the index of WikiProjects. Svick ( talk) 21:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
An article that you have been involved in editing, Pick Up the Pace has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the good article reassessment page.

I have nominated Powderfinger for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. YuMa NuMa Contrib 10:07, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej ( talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Our first Australian conference for Wikipedians/Wikimedians will be held 3-5 October 2015. Organised by Wikimedia Australia, there will be a 2-day conference (Saturday 3 October and Sunday 4 October) with an optional 3rd day (Monday 5 October) for specialist topics (unconference discussions, training sessions, etc). The venue is the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane. So put those dates in your diary! Note: Monday is a public holiday is some states but not others. Read about it here: WikiConference Australia 2015
As part of that page, there are now sections for you to:
It would really help our planning if you could let us know about possible attendance and the kind of topics that would make you want to come. If you don’t want to express your views on-wiki, please email me at kerry.raymond@wikimedia.org.au or committee@wikimedia.org.au
We are hoping to have travel subsidies available to assist active Australasian Wikipedians to attend the conference, although we are not currently in a position to provide details, but be assured we are doing everything we can to make it possible for active Australian Wikipedians to come to the conference. Kerry ( talk) 00:19, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
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.
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 07:51, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
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) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

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 "[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.
