I experimented with some others, but all the obvious ones seem to have been taken. Amerique dialectics 01:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

An early draft of the project page is at Wikipedia:WikiProject University of California. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kintetsubuffalo ( talk • contribs) 06:41, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
It is also the first article talk page to sport the UC project template. Feel free to review or help out as inclined. Amerique dialectics 23:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Ok, so the FAC was delisted after only five days. User:Raul654 hasn't responded to requests for clarification as to why he halted it. I've requested assistance from the League of Copyeditors, but don't know if they will get to this article anytime soon. Anyway, my intention was, and still is, to get this article to FA, and this would go faster as part of a larger project of this group. As I see the various UC articles, UCR's is closest to meeting the Wikipedia:Featured article criteria, followed by UCSC's. UCI's article has a lot of great content and prose but it hasn't gone through the WP:GA review process and there is a lot that would need to be done before it could pass criteria 1 (b). UCSC's article looks good but there is a lot more content that could go into it: [1]. Irvine also has more bibliographic resources: [2]. All the bibliographic stuff on UCR only covers the Citrus Experiment Station and so is mainly useless for its article.
So I propose collectively concentrating on UCR for now, getting that to FA, then migrating whatever comprehensive references could be used from that to the other article projects. SC's and I's articles could then be worked on simultaneously until either is ready to be nominated for FAC or GA, then we would concentrate on either article exclusively once it's at its respective review process. Amerique dialectics 23:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm rather tired of working on the UCR article for the time being, but I found a trove of references for the UCSC article here: [3] FA drive? Amerique dialectics 21:08, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I have begun the mighty task of tagging UC-related article with the {{
WikiProject University of California}} template. I've already tagged every article the {{
University of California}} navbox links to, along with every article that's directly in
Category:University of California (but not the articles in the subcats). Here's roughly how many articles in each subcat need to be tagged. (I say "roughly", because a few are already tagged.)
I didn't link to the alumni cats because it's been generally agreed that students and alumni are not part of this project. There are very few people, aside from athletes, who were mostly notable as UC students (for example, 1960s political activist Mario Savio). However, I did link to the categories of sports team players. Although I don't personally think everyone who played for a UC team should get a UC WikiProject tag, I figure (a) some of you might possibly disagree, and (b) perhaps we could just tag the most notable athletes.
I've assigned quality and importance ratings to the articles I've tagged, but if you run into an article you're not sure how to rate, you can leave it unrated for now, and someone will come along later to rate it. Most of the time, the rating and importance are obvious. And the ratings I assigned haven't been set in stone, so feel free to change them if you disagree. szyslak 12:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
When tagging non article pages please take the time to learn how to do it correctly. Category pages should be tagged using the following tag

You guys want to review this article currently at FAC? Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Preuss School UCSD. Amerique dialectics 18:17, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I would like to inform this project that the image in this title does not conform with Wikipedia:NFCC#10c: (c) The name of each article (a link to the articles is recommended as well) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language, and is relevant to each use. Rather than remove each use which does not have a rationale right now, I'm giving advance notice that I will do so in the near future. I have put this page on my watchlist, so feel free to reply here if you'd like.-- Rockfang ( talk) 20:57, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[The following two posts have been pasted in from User talk:Dynaflow]:
Dynaflow, thanks for uploading the pictures to replace the UCLA and USC athletics logos. I read through Wikipedia:Logos more than once in the past few months. Would you please explain how you interpreted where the UCLA and USC logos are not fair use when used to represent the subjects in question: Victory Bell, UCLA-USC rivalry and Lexus Gauntlet.

In line with developing the main UC article to GA, would it feasible to develop a UC portal? My coding skills are not that good, so someone else should probably initiate this, but here are some models we could use: Portal:University, Portal:University of Texas at Austin. A list of FA portals here: Wikipedia:Featured_portals. Amerique dialectics 21:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I looked up a source used to cite the endowment of UC Riverside after an anonymous IP user asked a question about it. The question was answered, but from it, I found that each of the campus article do not use the same source to cite their endowment.
UC Irvine for example has the reported endowment of $189.4 million from the Annual Endowment Report of University of California (AERUC), but UC Irvine's press release reports it to be at $230 million. To make the matter even more cluster-numbered, I remember U.S. News and Report stating the university had $800 million.
UC Berkeley had the reported endowment of $2.4 billion from the AERUC, yet U.S. News and Reports states it to be over $3 billion.
Granted, the AERUC's report is somewhat outdated by a year, but it's probably the only authoritative source (against U.S. News and Reports) and puts all campuses under the same standards (unlike individual news releases by each campus). So should we use AERUC as our universal source despite it being outdated by one year or use the latest that are found from elsewhere?

I posted this over at Template_talk:University_of_California, but I figured it's more relevant here. The university seal was adopted in 1910 [5], and is thus in the public domain. See WP:Public_domain. It is not subject to copyright, so we don't have to worry about fair use. Though it's still a trademark. See WP:Logos. I think, correct me if I'm wrong, we can use the seal in the template. Nguyenmdk ( talk) 08:15, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I've thought about this and looked a few things up. Characterizing the UC seal as being in the public domain simply because its copyright has expired is incorrect. Something in the
public domain may be used for any purpose by anyone. Trademarked intellectual property confers certain proprietary rights upon its owners, including the right to restrict its use in a number of circumstances. It cannot be used by just anyone for just anything. This makes
trademarked content and public-domain content mutually exclusive; trademarks (which never expire as long as they continue to be used and defended) are non-free content by definition, regardless of copyright status.
Treatment of trademarks with lapsed copyrights as "free content" in Wikipedia will be frowned upon by the same logic that makes media licensed under the
Creative Commons Noncommercial license unsuitable for general use here: because users are barred from using it in a certain range of possibly-desired applications, it is not truly free/
libre content. The spirit of
WP:NFCC, as it currently stands, would therefore call for us to treat the UC seal like any other non-free media, including the requirements that its use be kept to an absolute minimum and that it should appear only in the main article space -- both of which would preclude its use in template-space. </wet-blanketism>

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) 21:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
There's a dispute over at Talk:University_of_California_Museum_of_Paleontology regarding the priority/importance rating for that article. My understanding is that the priority/importance ratings are specific to this particular project, in which case only the articles for the individual UC campuses (and the system as a whole) really qualify as "Top" priority. I've changed the text of the assessment page to reflect this. If I'm mistaken in this understanding, or if I'm off-base with my opinion regarding which articles are of "Top" priority even for this project, please feel free to offer your alternate opinion so we can sort this out. -- UC_Bill ( talk) 15:20, 15 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!

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 06:53, 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.

Hi all, after a recent conversion to using the project meta banner, articles with the WP UC talk page template are still in Category:Unassessed California articles despite having an assessment in the WP California banner (example: Angela P. Harris, Ben Bagdikian). Also this and several other California related projects have limited activity and membership. I was thinking it might be easier to maintain and get involvement in this and various other projects if they were merged into task forces of WikiProject California, at least by converting the talk page banner to task forces of WP CAL. Would anyone object to converting {{ WikiProject University of California}} to a usage of {{ WikiProject California}}, or otherwise have any objections, questions, etc.? - Optigan13 ( talk) 05:42, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
(outdent) If we must convert this project to a task force, I think it would be more logical under WP:WikiProject Universities. UC is defined more by being a university than by its location in California. Currently, WP:UNI doesn't seem to use task forces (see WP:UNI#Related WikiProjects). FWIW, there is a separate WP:WikiProject California State University, and I wouldn't object to a merger between the two projects, whether as a subproject or task force. Such a project could also include private universities and community colleges, which are now covered only by umbrella projects. And yes, this project has slowed down in the past few months, but I have a little more free time these days and I was planning to invest some more time in this project. szyslak ( t) 21:55, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
(unindenting) Personally, speaking from someone who used to edit in both WikiProjects, that TF-ing this WP is somewhat unnecessary because the WikiProject itself is currently subject to WP:UNI's article guidelines, formats, editing, and rating. You're essentially breaking off something that clearly was supposed to be in WP:UNI's "jurisdiction" and handing it to other people. Now granted WP:CAL may have more active members, but it doesn't call for the switching and downgrading of the entire WikiProject already established. You could frequently ask the Cali Wikiproject to join in the WP:UNI articles associated with CA universities and colleges, but taking it off of WP:UNI completely just isn't sound. Sorry. - Jameson L.

Hey guys, I added more history to the history section of the article. Let me know how it looks. I got the information from a reputable source. I think I forgot to add the citation so I need to go back and do that. I have some concerns that one of the editors there has a COI. In September, I added information about a lawsuit the school had with proper citation and deleted information that was not verifiable. In January, an editor using the handle Drdavidstewart removed all unfavorable content regardless of whether it was verifiable and added a section called "Points of Distinction" that had no citations. Yesterday, I left any he put that was cited but deleted the rest and added back a section called "Controversy." My personal feeling was that it violated the NPOV; I found the article to read more like a plug for the school than an encyclopedic article. My concern also stems from the fact that Dr. David Stewart is the dean of the school. I have no idea whether it's an impersonator or actually the school dean; regardless, the "whitewashing" leaves me a little concerned. Donselma ( talk) 16:58, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, Amerique. Can you explain the notability issue with the Khoury case? I'm not seeing anything in the Notability guidelines that would preclude it from the article:
<<The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it – without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter.>>
<<The notability guidelines are only used to determine whether a topic can have its own separate article on Wikipedia and do not govern article content.

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 University of California 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!

Hello, I am an employee of UC Davis, here on the college's behalf. I left a message on the [[Linda Katehi] discussion page earlier this week about improving the part of the article titled Work, but received no response. After looking at the discussion page for UC Davis I came across this Wikiproject and thought maybe someone here would be interested.
As an employee of the college, I realize I should not make any edits to Linda Katehi's page myself. Can any editors here look over the material I've put together? I’ve rewritten the Work section of the article, so that it includes missing footnotes and some minor edits where I could not find footnotes. You can see what I've put together here on the discussion page.

Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014
For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

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!

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!

Hi UC Wikipedians! I am reaching out to see if anyone would be interested in helping out with editing training for Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism edit-a-thons being organized at both UC Irvine and UCLA. We would appreciate any assistance in securing at least one experienced Wikipedian in the area for each event, and I'd be happy to put you in touch with the organizers if you are able to help out. More information about the event can also be found here. If interested, please reply on wiki or by e-mail at thepwnco.wiki@gmail.com. Cheers! - Thepwnco ( talk) 22:21, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

The University of California, San Diego has recently updated its brand guidelines and indicates that it will be referred to as the "University of California San Diego" (note the absence of the comma). Juicy fruit146 and 76.126.2.176 have already attempted to remove the comma in several articles, and each of these edits was reverted by @ Corkythehornetfan:. At what point do we consider removing the comma in all instances? Is there a threshold of current literature needed before switching to the new format?
You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here! |

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)

I have nominated G. Ledyard Stebbins 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. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 00:24, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello all. Please know that I've recently created an article that is within the scope of your project and relates specifically to UCLA. It is Norman J. W. Thrower. Kind regards, Hu Nhu ( talk) 04:39, 12 August 2021 (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.

Hello! I'm here on behalf of Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, a nonprofit that partners with UC-Berkeley and UCSF to advance medical science, developing new diagnostic processes, therapies, and cures. If you would like to know more about my conflict of interest, you can read my full disclosure on my user page.
I have a small ask for any interested editors at this WikiProject: would you mind reviewing an edit request I posted to CZ Biohub's Talk page? It's a pair of updates that add a logo and a purpose line to the page's infobox. Due to my COI, I can't edit the article directly and need independent editors to approve my suggestions. If anyone could help me out with this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Patricia at GMMB ( talk) 18:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
