WP 1.0 assessment request
Posted at User talk:Titoxd and User talk:Walkerma I noticed that you are a member of the 1.0 Editorial Team and you have an interest in assessment, so I am requesting that you assist me in making an assessment table for WikiProject_Bahá'í_Faith. As you can see, I have made WikiProject Bahá'í Faith/Assessment, WPBF, and Category:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith articles, but for some reason Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Bahá'í Faith articles by quality statistics is not being generated. Walkerma added Category:Wikipedia 1.0 assessments almost two weeks ago, but the table hasn't been generated yet. I really appreciate your time and I wish I knew what I was doing wrong here. Also, I know that there was discussion about C-class articles, but did that get approved? If so, is it obligatory to add a C-class? Please respond on my talk or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:06, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * There you have it Thanks a lot. Again, re:C-class articles: is that designation obligatory or advised now? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:34, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Great One last thing: these assessment tables still have a yellow background for B-class articles, whereas Grading scheme has assigned yellow to C-class and a pea green to B-class. It seems like this could be confusing, so I would advise the 1.0 assessment folks to fix how these tables look when they are generated. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Categorization for articles with hurricane
Quick question. Would there be a nice, easy way to add a parameter to hurricane to break it down by category? I'm doing the monthly stats, and every month it's frustrating how tedious it is. Is there a way we could add something like |type=Atlantic, |type=season, |type=other? It'd be nice having it automatically broken down to have B-class articles categorized by type, and I wouldn't imagine it would be too difficult. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 04:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I love the idea of setting up a task force, simply for the categorization purpose. I like, but not love the idea about having the B's automatically re-assessed as C's. In principal, I like it, but I thought the whole point of C class was to have a class in between start and B, not just to raise the standards for B-class. If an article passes all of the B-class criteria, then what is the point of then having A-class? Perhaps this should be dealt with on the project talk page. ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 03:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Track stuff
I just had a glance at the WPTC section on this stuff, I'll look into doing a bot run for the basin tracks. That is once there is consensus as to which ones - I'm not uploading all of them unless they are all wanted! I'll try to pick a systematic name format which doesn't clash with anything else.

On a related note, partially due to my idiocy, there is an inconsistent naming structure for unnamed storms. I'd like to standardise them, as it would help with locating things. My idea would be to use the JTWC-style format whether it is 12L, 03E or 33W and with no 'Cyclone' or 'Tropical Storm' style prefix Back to 1984, before that like on the 1970 NIO season. I'd want the projects thoughts before I start doing all the stuff associated with that.

I've got various RL concerns at the moment, but I'm planning to do a major bot run in late August to upload every last track I have data for. That would be back to 1870 in the N Indian, ~1900 in the South Hem and ~1950 for the N Pacific. If I can't readily ID the tracks, I'll just upload them at a generic site and people can re-upload when they ID it. This would mean the project would have everything from the past, and would only need updates when something major occurs - like a new storm or another batch of reanalysis. That would mean you won't need my intervention either. ;)--Nilfanion (talk) 22:47, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Typical of the project, over a week to comment and no response. So what are your views? Without further guidance I will upload the 1851-1994 Atlantic tracks, but I won't do 1995 onwards (that's when the coloured NHC ones start) or EPac ones. Likewise I won't action paras 2 or 3, unless I have at least a second opinion (preferably project consensus) on how to tackle file naming; does what I suggested above sound sensible to you?--Nilfanion (talk) 10:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK glad to know I'm sane. Regarding the inclusion/exclusion of the precise "Cyclone" or "Tropical storm" type prefixes my reluctance to use them is the difficulty in determining the appropriate one for the context. The problems get worse earlier in the period, WPac tracks stop in the 60s despite named stuff earlier because there is no relationship between the best track and the ATCRs. How would you feel about "Tropical cyclone XXY" for any unidentified/unnamed storms: irrespective of basin? That at least makes it clear it is a cyclone's track. I can read HURDAT but I don't enjoy it, and I don't particularly want to work out what 23P (1985) was just from staring at best track.--Nilfanion (talk) 20:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Official rollout of C-Class
Tito,

I will be without internet (for a day or so) in about 5 minutes time, so could you make sure things keep progressing over at Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment? I posted conclusions to the discussions, I think the consensus for several changes are clear, most notably the adoption of the MILHIST criteria, plus I think G-Guy's version of B6. Perhaps you could look over my conclusions, and if you think they are fair, try and modify the "long description" table using the draft version? By all means recruit others to assist with the specific wording as you see fit. If you don't get to it today, I will be able to work on it on Thursday, but I'm concerned that we maintain momentum and get things all clear before we go to "rollout" on Friday (probably evening UTC).

Hi Titoxd,

I have been active at the abovementioned Wikiproject for quite a while now, and following the adoption of C-class, we have decided to start up a proper assessment page, re-assess our articles and update our project banner in the same way as Hurricane.

Will you be willing to update to update anime with the same functionality, i.e. to assess an article as C-class if all of the parameters have not been completed?

Peer review
Hi Titoxd,

I am asking for a big favours of yours. I nominated the article Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Austria) for featured list, but there were too many small grammar problems, so we decided to withdraw it, and do a peer review first. The list is complete and very well sourced. It also followed all he suggestions given in Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Belgium) (recently promoted to featured list), so in general is in a very good shape. Only the description fields for the coins are in a need of a good copy/edit. Can you please help us to get this list promoted?

Follow up from Walkerma's talk page
Thanks for jumping in on my question on Walkerma's talk page. The template I am having the issue with is from the Ireland WikiProject Template:WikiProject_Ireland. If you look at Category:Unassessed Ireland articles you will see a links, several of which, being C-class, are using an uppercase 'C'. There don't seem to be any using a lowercase 'c' but it is odd that even though these articles are assessed as C-class they still appear in the unassessed category. All the properly assessed and correctly categorised articles are using an uppercase 'C'. Curious. Any thoughts?

 * Reading back on Walkerma's talkpage, I see that you referred to "Class" and "class" but I was actually referring to "class=C" as opposed to "class=c", that is the uppercase/lowercase I was talking about not the word "class" but the parameter used. Does it make any difference? ww2censor (talk) 02:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Wikiwork

Solution looking for a problem
Hi Titoxd,

I noticed your comments at Village pump (technical) and I wanted to talk to you a bit more about the proposal to move the main page to Portal:Wikipedia. As ais523 pointed out, having the main page in the article space is causing even more problems than I initially realized, and moving it to the Portal space would resolve these problems. Specifically, moving the main page would fix the following:


 * The top-left tab would read "portal" instead of "article".
 * People who want to make copies of Wikipedia, such as people who provide computers to schools in Africa that can't get Internet access, would have an easier time separating actual articles from project content which they don't want to copy. Because the content of the main page changes dynamically from day to day, it would take quite a bit of work to make the main page work and keep working on an offline copy of Wikipedia. Thus, since the main page won't actually work by default, it's probably best to exclude it from copies of Wikipedia article content by default.
 * The "cite this page" link in the sidebar would be hidden from screen readers and text-only browsers, and the sitewide CSS would no longer have to contain a special declaration to hide it.
 * The article count shown at Special:Statistics would be accurate instead of being 1 higher than the actual number of articles on Wikipedia.  would also be accurate instead of being off by one.
 * Statistics about Wikipedia articles would be more accurate and not slightly skewed by statistics about the main page that are likely to get mixed in.
 * It would be generally easier to write bots and other automated scripts because developers would not have to worry about having to write special code for the main page, ever.

Thanks for the link to Tim Berners-Lee's article "Cool URIs don't change". I like his reasoning, and I absolutely agree that we should try to get things right the first time to avoid having to move things later. Unfortunately, we didn't get things right the first time, and the longer we delay this move the more of a problem it's going to become. The number of scripts, bots, etc. that have to be specially coded around the main page will continue to increase and it's quite possible that other, unforseen problems will emerge from the illogical placement of the main page into the article space.

I hope this explanation helps resolve your concerns - please let me know. —Remember the dot (talk) 05:55, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Apologies for the delay, but it still doesn't:
 * The top-left tab does not need to be an issue at all if we change the tab in the main namespace from "article" to "page", like developers suggested.
 * Also, as a member of WP:1.0, I have never seen the main page be a concern for publishing projects, as it is impossible to select all the pages in the main namespace and have them be printed or placed on a DVD. There's simply too many, and they don't fit. Instead, the approach used by WP:V0.5, WP:V0.7 and BozMo's Wikipedia for Schools selections is to select a subgroup of articles and publish them. The main page has never been selected, nor it will, so that problem is purely hypothetical.
 * Why does the "cite this page" link even have to be hidden? Isn't consistency in the interface the reason we don't have a second search bar on the Main Page? I really didn't even know that it was hidden, and I don't see why it is necessary.
 * Special:Statistics can be modified on the server side, by not counting a page as an article if its title equals the contents of MediaWiki:Mainpage. Not hard to do, actually, and works for all wikis in all languages.
 * I would be interested in knowing which statistics are skewed by one page out of 2,480,211.
 * If the bots obey nobots, they shouldn't have to worry about editing the main page, ever.
 * Overall, I still only see marginal benefits in the move, and a lot of headaches. So, I'm still opposed to the move. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 21:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Pacific hurricane season maps
I uploaded a bunch of season maps from NHC. They follow the same naming format as the others. The local copies are interfering with the display, and I think they should be renamed like the other ones with a Blue Marble background. I did not upload on top of them because some may be used on other pages. That is all I can do, so I need an admin to fix these.

Coding for updated WP 1.0 bot
If you're interested in coding for the new bot, the script that needs the most work is list.pl, which needs to have a more general query interface (subsuming list2.pl). Would you feel comfortable working on that? Another, shorter, task would be to write the code to update the lists of GA, FA, and WP 0.5 articles.

Commons and tracks
Hey,

I noticed you just had a quick hack at the track map template - its very overdue. However, the timing was a bit unfortunate, I'm about to go do exactly the same thing preparatory to uploading all damn tracks. I plan to make some substantial changes to it, which will make the information page much more useful.

I also plan to make the template a mandatory subst, as that will make adding non-english language descriptions a matter of simple edits as opposed to exponentially increasing the complexity of the template itself. I'll be working the replacement up at commons:User:Nilfanion/Tc. As part of all this I will run over all the images, both my new uploads and the existing ones and update them. Given this, I'd suggest you stop your cleaning up of the files for now and give any suggestions on the talk page of my workup on Commons.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:29, 22 August 2008 (UTC) I've got a basic layout to the template now.

Couple questions
Hey Tito, I'm curious: Who/When/How did the pre-WPTC group get snapped at for "clogging" Commons in the first place? From what you said in the Commons discussion its almost like WPTC was doing things (which would be deemed correct according to present Commons consensus) and got slapped for it and has followed the current approach ever since. Believe me when I say a category full of 50 track maps, unusued on any project is positively useful compared to some projects (commons:Category:Urination springs to mind); Commons has a major difficulty in deleting useless stuff :( It might well be best to upload the tracks to en, because local policy can get shot of the things after the storm. I'd not do that on Commons due to the tendency of projects other than en to hold onto the things - check out some of the Katrina articles if you care.

Also could you have a look at commons:User:Nilfanion/Tc please? I've done a trial on Image:Katrina 2005 track.png. I've got stumped with the explanation of the legend (it needs a copyedit!), and I'd like some feedback before I roll it out.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Since I know you watch the page, I'll reply here. As far as I can remember, what happened is that a few en.wp admins yelled at Golbez or Cyrius (I don't remember which one), and then they had to do a substantial cleanup here in en.wp. This was before we even started using Commons at all for image uploads. Then, when we moved, we continued using the then-current practice, continued to ask around, and nobody seemed to mind.
 * As for the Katrina track map: It looks good, but I'll see what I can do. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 22:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK thanks for that. I am tempted to think en might be a better place actually (as we can easily delete the tracks after the storm has gone). One problem I noticed on the track is low-contrast between Category 1 and the background colour of Template:Information. I suppose we could use thicker borders to the colour boxes or make a table-within-a-table. I'm rusty on table syntax though, so I'm not sure I can do the latter.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:32, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure about deleting the images, but I played around with the caption on the Katrina track map, as well as added a border to the SSHS colors in the legend. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 23:06, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks for that. I think that gives me enough to finalise it before the roll-out, the only thing the template is missing is the source= parameter, which I can do easily. When that (and the uploads) are done, it will be time on the project page... I find that discussion over forecast tracks typical - no one else in the project appears to care to engage. To be honest, my biggest concern is the change in MediaWiki, which generates thumbnails of old versions: slow full page load should not happen with small GIFs.--Nilfanion (talk) 08:13, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

You said: "In spite of this, it is not possible to artificially induce the dissipation of these systems with current technology."
This statement is likely to be challenged, because there are already projects to control weather, such as the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnRPZOUVhJ4 -- IRP (talk) 00:14, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

USAD Article
Hi. I know for a long time you worked on this article (and are a very qualified copy-editor, or so I hear), so I thought you would be a good person to bring this request to. I just brought the article up to good article status and am looking to bring it to FAC soon. However, I wanted to have it looked over by someone familiar with FACs to let me know if there's anything I should change or correct. I was hoping that person could be you. But, if you are too busy to look over the article, that's fine. I will just submit for a regular peer review and hope for the best. I really don't think there's much else I could add by way of content. It's about as complete as it will get as far as I can tell. The things I am worried about are whether the fair-use images will be a problem and whether I have relied too heavily on the USAD website as a source for information. Will these prove to be too problematic? Anyway, do (or do not) the looking-over at your leisure. I am in no hurry. Thank you in advance if you decide to review the article! Also, this is something I've been curious about for quite a while. Which Arizona school did you compete with? CDO? St. Johns? MVM? Red Mountain? Dobson? ... etc? Anyway, thanks again. If you decide not to do this, then do have fun with your hurricane articles and such. ;) - Yohhans talk 02:23, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Will do later in the week. Right now I'm horribly busy with school and WP:1.0. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 05:08, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. Thanks! And again, don't worry about getting it done any time soon. I am in no hurry. - Yohhans talk 05:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Still on my to-do list, I'm just a tad busy now. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 04:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Eh. No worries. I've got it up at PR right now, so if you want to comment on it there when you have the time, that would be easiest. But like I said, don't worry about timing. - Yohhans talk 17:33, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Help me fix a timeline
For some reason, the timeline at 1994 Pacific hurricane season is not displaying properly, and I can't determine how to fix it. Could you please help me? Or if you can't, do you know someone who could? Thank you very much. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 04:34, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have the faintest clue how to edit timelines, but asking at the Village Pump or the Help Desk might be a good idea. I'd point you to Erik Zachte, the creator of the EasyTimeline extension, but he seems rather inactive as of late. Tito xd (?!? - cool stuff) 04:45, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
