FAR nomination
I have nominated German occupation of Luxembourg during World War I for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Discussion about merger Greater Region into Greater Region of SaarLorLux
An editor has requested for Greater Region to be merged into Greater Region of SaarLorLux. Since you had some involvement with Greater Region or Greater Region of SaarLorLux, you might want to participate in the merger discussion (if you have not already done so). --Heanor (talk) 10:57, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

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.

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.

 * Per the discussion you said ask projects to help. LuxembourgLover (talk) 16:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * No, I did not. You wanted to ask advice on another Wikiproject and hoped that you would take their advice on board. The Banner  talk 23:05, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I asked a WikiProject that is about the events. I think the Luxembourg WikiProject will be interested in the Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919. If it was a major event this WikiProject would be helpful. LuxembourgLover (talk) 16:52, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Fueskichelcher/Verwurelter
Hi! Wanted to make this wikiproject aware I am currently working on an article on the pastry fueskichelcher (or verwurelter), if any user had anything to contribute. Also, if anyone can confirm whether or not there is a difference (I don't see any, and no website mentions both) that would be great. Cheers!

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

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) 13:19, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Transport Articles about Luxembourg - we should also work on this
Hello/Moien! Luxembourgish transport nerd here. I noticed that our articles for railway stations, big bus depots/stops (Hamilius/Luxexpo) are either stubs or do not exist. Over the next month or two I will be heavily editing these articles. Expect a lot. If you want to help with photos and all, feel free to do so. I am starting with the revamp of all stations' articles that are on the CFL Line 60. Below, you will find the list. Each station will be separated into 3 phases of development: research & basic info, facts and backstory and finally some extra info, if applicable.


 * 1) Differdange Gare (1/3)
 * 2) Oberkorn Gare - to do
 * 3) Niederkorn Gare - to do
 * 4) Pétange Gare - to do
 * 5) Rodange Gare - to do
 * 6) Lamadelaine Gare - to do
 * 7) Belval-Université Gare - researching
 * 8) Belval-Rédange Gare - trying to find a way to update it
 * 9) Belval-Lycée - in process of research
 * 10) Noertzange - to do
 * 11) Berchem - to do
 * 12) Howald - taking photos soon
 * 13) Gare Centrale - will add more info and more photos
 * 14) Bettembourg - finding a way to write it
 * 15) Hamilius - taken photos, will create an article
 * 16) Luxexpo - same story as Hamilius
 * 17) Kirchberg-Pafendall Gare - to do
 * 18) Gare Centrale Routiére - will create an article or maybe a section?

May have missed out on some stations, but they will all be coming and I will update the TICE, RGTR, Sales-Lentz and Emile-Weber articles.

I will try to work, please reply if you have any suggestions, photos and/or you would like to help me.

Have a nice day, keep editing :) Atharva210 (talk) 19:41, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

French translation help
As there are a lot of French speakers here and as it affects this country's political history, this seems as good a place as any to ask. How would you translate "christianisme social" and similar terms "les chretiens-sociaux"? Examples: Christian socialism does NOT seem to be the right term at all, as the CSV is many things but not socialist. Other authors often just translate "les chretiens-sociaux" into English as "the CSV", which seems cheating a bit. "Christian democracy" / Christian-democratic might fit, but also doesnt feel right somehow... Dr Gangrene (talk) 18:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
