Article alerts
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  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.

Some not correct!
Several of the articles listed in have simply changed the verb tense from "is" to "was" and changed other text to include the words "former Netherlands Antilles", without realising that by doing so information about Aruba needs to be added to the text. For example, "The NA consists of Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Maarten, and Statia" would need to be corrected to "The NA consisted of Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, Sint Maarten, and Statia, and until 1986 also included Aruba." I've corrected one or two of the articles in this regard, but you may need to go through the others to double-check them! Grutness...wha?  23:01, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Renaming of work group?
Shouldn't we split this work group into groups for Curaçao, Sint Maarten and the Caribbean Netherlands? Obviously since the country Netherlands Antilles does not exist anymore. (Subzzee (talk) 06:23, 30 November 2015 (UTC))
 * As a group you can call them Caribbean Netherlands now, because they still belong to the kingdom of the Netherlands (e.g. Arubans have passports of the kingdom = Dutch passports). Ymnes (talk) 17:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Caribbean Netherlands on Dutch Wikinews
(and others) I don't know if all of you speak Dutch. In that case it may be nice to read that Wikinews in Dutch language has been reopened at July 5th, with much mention of the Caribbean Netherlands. See here. Maybe it's nice to read, contribute or tell friends. Prettige avond! Ymnes (talk) 17:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

1969 Curaçao uprising
Hi, I recently nominated the article 1969 Curaçao uprising for Featured Article status. However, the discussion doesn't seem to be attracting a whole lot of participants. In order to get the ball rolling, I was hoping that some of the experts here might be interested. Feel free to review the article and leave your comments here.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool
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) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

New Sint Maarten Government
Hello, following swearing in of a new government/Council of Ministers in Sint Maarten, I updated many Sint Maarteen-related articles.

I edited: • Silveria Jacobs

• Template:Prime ministers of Sint Maarten

• Luc Mercelina

• Ajamu Baly

• Parliament of Sint Maarten

• Template:Politics of Sint Maarten

• Prime Minister of Sint Maarten

• List of Sint Maarten leaders of government

• President of the Parliament of Sint Maarten

• Ministry of Justice (Sint Maarten)

• Minister Plenipotentiary of Sint Maarten

• Mercelina cabinet (newly created)

• Second Jacobs cabinet

• Sarah Wescot-Williams

• Gracita Arrindell

• Template:Cabinets of Sint Maarten

Probably a few more I forgot to list. Given the extensive editing, I thought it would be good to alert the WikiProject so that if I introduced any accidental errors, they can be corrected.

Additionally, many of these articles are still out of date and could use some additional sourcing. I am trying to source images for some of the articles, but my understanding of copyright on Sint Maarten government websites is limited. I started a discussion on Commons here; please contribute if you can provide some clarity/translation.

Alerting the WikiProject Caribbean Netherlands work group and other potentially interested editors (based on edits): @DutchDaan, @CareAhLine, @CharlesViBritannia, @YellowAries2010, @Fondycardinals, @Gimelthedog, @Kww, @Fixer88, @Beland, @HapHaxion, @Ætoms.

Hope you will find my edits as helpful. -- Classicwiki (talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 18:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
