Assessments
Thanks for those! Much appreciated. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 05:40, 15 November 2022 (UTC)


 * No worries - I just needed a small set of articles to test some WP:AWB rules on, and 250 German Unassesseds were perfect. At some point when my assessment bot returns to work, I may set it loose on Germany after I've done some other projects - although the unassesseds are very visible there's a much greater problem with existing assessments needing to be redone, could be 30% or so, and in general I prefer to get those done before diluting the wrong ones with more "right ones" by assessing the unassesseds. I might do a little bit of tidying up on the existing German unassesseds though...  FlagSteward (talk) 15:25, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Set index articles
You were never part of the discussion when it happened, but all those German ship articles you made dab pages, well they were deemed set index articles. Set index articles are considered list pages and all of those pages will have to be expanded into full lists later (only because we have to write the main articles first).

 * Fair enough, I've been away a long time, apologies for making work for you, I could have done it if you'd said. But the flip side is that if they are articles then they need to have an article-style importance in those projects that use importance, they can't be NA.

"Template:Infobox doge" listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Template:Infobox doge and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 December 8 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Comment
I am trying to make Wikipedia easier for the readers. I added the WP Germany to the Hy Kloc article to help the readers to access information. Thank You-RFD (talk) 12:51, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the intent, but you have to think about what WikiProjects are for. They're mostly out of sight for readers, they're primarily for editors to allocate the scarce resource of the time of sector-specialist editors. And WP Germany has many articles which are higher priority for editors who know about Germany than a US politician who spent three years in Germany as an infant. In general you should be parsimonious with WikiProjects - the vast majority of articles only need 2-3. In this case editors in Idaho or interested in US politics will be able to contribute far more than a Germany specialist, so it's fine to leave it with just those two projects. Categories are the main way for readers to navigate, so if you want to help readers then that's what you should concentrate on. Cheers. FlagSteward (talk) 03:24, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
