MJ
Why is Michael jackson a part of this wikiproject? I know he collaborated with her, but its still kinda redundant since he has his own WP (run by pretty much the same people). Same goes for JJ being a part of his WP. indopug (talk) 08:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Janet was always a part of his project so he is a member of hers. All family members will be in both. At the moment theres only 3 people that are members of both camps so there definately not run by the same people, at least not yet anyway. Furthermore we're not treating him specially, his importance stat is "Low", the same as an average JJ single. He wont be getting undue attention. --— Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 08:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Its somewhat unavoidable. Yes, they are independent artists, but the fact remains they are siblings and have had a great deal of influence on each other in a number of different ways. Janet credits Michael as her primary musical influence and their collaboration on her first album and the song scream warrants them as associated acts of each other. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  08:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It seems very redundant; are you also listing all MJ songs and albums with the JJ WP (and vice versa)? indopug (talk) 09:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh hell no, just the main article on each project. With the exception of "Scream" obviously. Its harmless at most. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 09:39, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Why not merge them both into a Jacksons WikiProject? WesleyDodds (talk) 09:41, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, already suggested, went down like a lead ballon. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 09:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No. They share two articles; scream and each others respective personal biography. That is it. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  09:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I suggested it mainly because many of the same editors are working on projects devoted to Jackson siblings, so why not pool resources and cover the scope of the entire family as well? WesleyDodds (talk) 05:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
 * We understand, but most editors (including myself) associated with the two current projects are only interested in one sibling or the other. There are only three editors who are actively contributing to both. If a Jackson family project were created, the rest of the family would be most likely be ignored. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  06:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Family issue
OK I checked the MJ wikiproject and Janet was the only brother or sister in it. He has...
 * Jackson family
 * Jackson 5
 * Katherine Jackson
 * Joseph Jackson
 * Janet Jackson

Therefore I suggest we only have the following at ProjectJJ;
 * Jackson family
 * Katherine Jackson
 * Joseph Jackson
 * Michael Jackson
 * Jackson 5
 * I didnt think its worth Janet having the Jackson 5 so i removed it, however her article labels them as an associated act so i put them back.

So is this ok? Makes our job easier. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 16:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * agreed. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  22:21, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * comment: I never realized before that the Jackson 5 was listed as an associated at. They arent. She's never collaborated with all five siblings, only Michael. That one should be removed. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  22:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * OK Ill remove J5. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 22:25, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Associated acts are not a list of people an artist has collaborated with but the different bands s/he has been in. So for Janet, it should be empty. indopug (talk) 16:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Singles Importance
OK at the moment her 10 #1 singles and lead singles are all labelled "High". All her other singles are labelled "Low". Some of these "Low" singles should probably be moved up to the "Mid" section so I would like suggestions for that here please. To help, here is a list of almost all our article with their stat details. Cheers. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 05:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Anything to peak within the Top Five should be bumped up to Mid. The Bookkeeper   (of the Occult)  05:51, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, will do. --— Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 23:46, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Thankyoubaby (talk) 06:17, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * DONE. --— Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 16:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

UWC
Articles for deletion/United World Chart - Incase you use this as a source in any of your articles, dont, it will only have to be removed at GA/FA. The source should no longer be used in any Janet Jackson article. I would actively remove it from any article you see providing this link, cheers. — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 18:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Thriller/Single
I just remembered that Janet did backing vocals on a songs from the Thriller album. Should the album/song or both be added to the JJ wikiproject perhaps? The song was P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing). Thoughts? — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 22:39, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * That's so minor, I wouldn't add the song or the album to the list, but that's just my thoughts... Thankyoubaby (talk) 01:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Feedback (song) - GA
Great news guys/gals, "Feedback" is now a GA article!!!!! — Realist 2  ( Come Speak To Me ) 05:25, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
 * The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
 * The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
 * A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

WP:AfD some of these articles?
Looking at the list of our articles (112 of them are displayed on the project page), some could be deleted (as they lack notability) or merged together (all those articles on awards). Can anyone see any articles that should be put forward to the wider community to draw consensus on whether they should be deleted? If so name them here any we can consider. I will do likewise. — Realist  2  21:38, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Janet Jackson
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 22:31, 15 September 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 05:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

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.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Thanks. — Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}κοντριβς – WP Physics} 09:17, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Janet Jackson articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release
Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Janet Jackson articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (&diams;) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Janet Jackson (album)
Janet Jackson (album) is undergoing a GA reassessment. Most problems have been tackled, however, the article does not meet criteria 3a, as it does not address the main aspects of the topic - there is almost nothing about production of the album, and little about critical reception on release. The reassessment is on hold for seven days to allow time to build the article. SilkTork (talk) 01:51, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template Transclude lead excerpt.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. &mdash; The Transhumanist  07:43, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

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)

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate 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 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 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.
