Hello!

I have been tidying up this WikiProject as some links had rotten/ added in some new features to help navigate the scope of content. Hope it helps us on our journeys :D Jamzze (talk) 21:43, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just out in the current "Signpost", at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-08-31/Serendipity (permalink) is article "Two photos of every library on earth" by User:Smallbones. With lots of nice photos and some plans. Discussion comments are welcome there. --Doncram (talk) 00:22, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I just read the article. Would anyone be interested in a subproject equivalent to w:es:Wikiproyecto:Bibliotecología/Ninguna biblioteca sin fotografía (no library without photos)? Or is it better kept separate, since it intersects with architecture and photography? ⁓ Pelagic ( messages ) 11:56, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I see, and am glad, that you've now commented at that Signpost article, joining a number of interested editors. Thanks, --Doncram (talk) 14:16, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Currently, there is a proposed merger of Libraries and librarians in fiction and Librarians in popular culture to a new page entitled Libraries and librarians in culture. But, it has been inactive since July 2022, so it would be great to get some more eyes on it, so there can a clearer consensus before moving forward. Thanks!

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to ((WikiProject banner shell)), which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to ((WikiProject banner shell)), and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass ((WPBannerMeta)) a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

I have nominated Digital media use and mental health for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the 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" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. voorts (talk/contributions) 02:06, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
