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 05:47, 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} 09:19, 15 March, 2009 (UTC)

Mêm û Zîn translation
There are many references on the Internet to this Kurdish epos. Many posts, in different languages, refer to it.Yet I can find no translations, neither into Swedish,English,Danish,French,German,- any languages I master. It has been sung to me, and I know the contents of the story, yet I find no real translation. Does this mean Ehmedi Xhani's great epos is yet to be translated, and if so - why? I would like to see a translation of this epos into all major languages - or at least one.It deserves it.

kurd as an etnonym during sumerian times?????
claims about usage of kurd etnonym during sumerian times is historically revisionistic. kurdish is an indo european language. while sumerian existed, (proto)indo european people weren't left tehir homeland in north, so was their language. though it's possible to kurdish people adopted a former geographical name as a etnonym, or named after an antique region by others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.102.198.89 (talk) 14:17, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Is this project page at all useful?
This page was originally created as an article, then sent to WP Kurdistan. it was highly unusual at first. i cleaned it up as a courtesy, but i suspect few at this project know of its existence. if this is a common type of project page, great. if not, i dont know what you would do with it.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 19:54, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Kurdistan 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 Kurdistan 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!

Rauf Hassan writer
The article on Kurdish writer Rauf Hassan has been tagged as an unreferenced BLP since October 2008, which is the current focus month for the BLP Rescue Project. I have tried, and failed, to find any reliable sources to support the text in the article. I'm posting here in the hope that someone with better knowledge might be kind enough to take a look and frind at least one reliable source to support the text. It'll probably be nominated as an AfD in the next week or so if it continues to be unsourced, so anything you can do to resolve the situation would be welcome.--Plad2 (talk) 18:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

This MacKenzie fellow keeps popping up without explaining who he is
I put this in another article talk - on the Sorani dialect, I think, but I think it bares repeating. I have seen this fellow's name in a few places. I think that the first time he is mentioned, he should be referred to by full name and title and also what work it was put in. Just saying MacKenzie says this without anyone knowing who he is (unless they are in the field of Kurdish Studies) prompts the reader to say "Who the hell is MacKenzie? Why do I care about his opinion?". His opinion holds no weight for someone who doesn't know of him. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie Say Shalom! 20:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Forged controversy?
The Turkish alternative name of Van Cat (which is not same as Turkish Van) isVan Kedisi. Even if the term Türk Van Kedisi is used in some website (unreliable sources), there is no evidence that the Turkish authority named or add the word Türk. Official and semi-official institution of Turkey such as Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Turkey, TRT use the term "Van Kedisi" (Van Cat).


 * "Türk Van Kedisi" in google news - 0 results.
 * "Türk Van Kedisi" in google books - 0 results.

As long as I understand, the article Van Cat naming controversy consists of irrelevant information, groundless claims, articles written by authors who misunderstood. When do you have time, could you visit Talk:Van Cat naming controversy‎ ? Thank you. Takabeg (talk) 00:24, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Cat pages to watchlist for anti-Kurdish, -Armenian and/or -Turkish vandalism & POV pushing
I'm just wandering in, working on the cat facts, at Turkish Van, Van Cat and Van Cat naming controversy. I detect that there is a) a concerted effort on the part of usually anon or WP:SPA editors to POV-push an anti-Kurdish position (and sometimes also an anti-Armenian) position at all of these articles, and b) a countervailing tendency for pro-Kurdish editors to editorialize against Turks and the government of Turkey in these articles (especially the third). It would be helpful if more people watchlisted these articles, and in particular revert edits that aim to remove mention of Kurdistan (or Armenia) from these cat articles, against strong evidence and apparent consensus at Talk:Turkish Van that the Lake Van area has variously been predominantly Turkish, Armenian and Kurdish in population and culture during various relevant periods. And be also on the lookout for excessive anti-Turkism (even if sourced - it's not the place for it) at the controversy article. For as long as they remain separate articles; I think they should probably merge. I have zero position (nor enough information to formulate one) about any Kurd/Armenian/Turk issues, I just want to see the cat articles not be used as WP:BATTLEGROUNDs any longer. Here's a very recent example of anon drive-by deletion vandalism - removal of any mention of Kurdistan without discussion, consensus or even an edit summary - at one of the articles. — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 09:33, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month
Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:Kurdistan will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in Kurdistan's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month.

Kurdish separatism in Iran campaignbox
I would like to notify that recently major section of the article Kurdish separatism in Iran was forced a split into new article named Rebellions in Iranian Kurdistan without a proper discussion (see ); In addition, the campaignbox was as well split (see ) from template:Campaignbox Kurdish separatism in Iran into the new template:Campaignbox Kurdish–Iranian conflict. I propose to remerge the campaignboxes via a community consensus, with the rationale that the split of articles and campaignboxes was made artificially and without any real need (the user who did it, had wanted to rename the Kurdish separatism in Iran article, but when failed - he started a 'competitive' article "Rebellions in Iranian Kurdistan").

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.

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  07:44, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Sirûc (Suruç) Neighborhoods and Villages
Hi guys. Not sure where to ask this so just asking for help from you. I've been collecting the Kurdish names for the villages and neighborhoods in Sirûc and adding them to Open Street Maps in Kurdish and then to the Kurdish Wikipedia. This is the list I'm working on 1. I've created/corrected around 40 neighborhoods on Kurdish Wikipedia. Map with article names listed. How can I add these to the Suruç page? Are they good enough for the English Wikipedia? If yes, please direct me to the correct templates to use and an example article I'll happily adjust my data according to the English standards and start adding them as soon as I'm done with the Kurdish Wiki.

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.

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.

recursive categories associated with this project
Posting this here because categories aren't in my normal bailiwick.

In doing something unrelated to this project, I discovered that is recursive. If you follow this subcategory path you will end up back at Category:Kurdistan Workers' Party:
 * Category:Kurdistan Workers' Party

Category:Peoples' United Revolutionary Movement has Category:Kurdistan Workers' Party as a subcategory.

I suspect that recursion is not desired but will leave it for others to fix if fixing is appropriate.
