Bermuda Militias
Could someone have a look at the several Bermuda Militias articles. It seems like some merging is in order but I'm unfamiliar with the topic. Double Blue (Talk) 14:11, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Barbados-related articles needing geographical coordinates
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Barbados, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Barbados, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.

The articles in question are listed in Category:Barbados articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:
 * 1) Cave Hill, Saint Lucy, Barbados
 * 2) Drax Hall Estate
 * 3) Flower Forest
 * 4) Fontabelle, Saint Michael, Barbados
 * 5) Francia Great House
 * 6) Miami Beach, Barbados
 * 7) Pine Hill, Saint Michael, Barbados

...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 36 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.

Why add coordinates?
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.

How can I do it?
The articles are all marked with coord missing tags, which need to be replaced with coord tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! -- The Anome (talk) 09:35, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group
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. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable ) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 04:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

List of 2015 Pan and Parapan American Games broadcasters
Hi I am trying to fill this article out with the Barbados broadcaster of the games. Any information and links would be helpful! Intoronto1125 Talk Contributions  01:13, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Flag template
Due to commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Barbados 1958.png (apparently the flag depicted was incorrect), a which invoke 🇧🇧 Barbados are now broken. I think the fix is to simply use the 1885 flag in all cases (i.e. replace with 🇧🇧 Barbados) ? If someone can confirm that's correct, I'll make the fixes and then get Template:Country data Barbados updated to remove the reference to the 1958 flag.

RfC on election/referendum naming format
An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation).

User script to detect unreliable sources
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 and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

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.

Request for photographs of Barbados cricket grounds
Hello all. Just over from the cricket project. I'm wondering any project members here who live in Barbados would be kind enough to take some photos of the cricket grounds listed here - they have all hosted major matches. Thanks in advance, StickyWicket (talk) 11:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at 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 decides 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 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.

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon
 Hello WikiProject Barbados:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! Grnrchst (talk) 12:41, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
