Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oklahoma/Archive 3

Featured topic?
Hello, WikiProject Oklahoma. I just wanted to let everyone know I'm probably going to begin working towards getting the turnpikes of Oklahoma to become a Featured Topic. To start out, I've just done a major expansion of Chickasaw Turnpike, which I'd like to take to FA some time in the future. I'd like to collaborate with other users that might have access to more sources (I only used the articles available through Google and the Tulsa World archives) and/or know more about it through personal experience. Of course, if you'd like to help by working on the other turnpikes, please feel free to do so. I look forward to working with anyone who shares an interest in Oklahoma's turnpikes! —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 02:19, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Is it okay...?
Is it okay to suggest something? If yes, than can someone please make a List of Fossils found in Oklahoma? Please? :/ --HoopoeBaijiKite 01:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I found it. I can't believe I didn't see it. :( --HoopoeBaijiKite 23:33, 9 April 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!

Articles flagged for cleanup
Currently, 2904 articles are assigned to this project, of which 434, or 14.9%, are flagged for cleanup of some sort. (Data as of 2008-07-14.) Are you interested in finding out more? I am offering to generate cleanup to-do lists on a project or work group level. See User:B. Wolterding/Cleanup listings for details. Subscribing is easy - just add a template to your project page. If you want to respond to this canned message, please do so at my user talk page. --B. Wolterding (talk) 08:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Requested move discussion for new American Civil War article
I've requested that the newly created article Oklahoma in the American Civil War be moved to the Indian Territory in the American Civil War pagespace. I'm not an expert on Oklahoma History, but it was my impression that "Oklahoma" was a created term for the merging of the Indian Nations with the recently opened run lands. If project members here have any opinion on how best this naming helps WikiProject Oklahoma, this would be a time to offer it up for consensus. BusterD (talk) 12:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium
I have reviewed this article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have left a small list of tasks to complete to maintain the GA status of this article. The article will remain on hold for seven days (starting today) for improvements. Nikki 311  17:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

BOK Center
I'm going to put BOK Center up for Good Article or Featured Article nomination very soon &mdash; I can't decide which yet. As soon as I can get some more eyes to look over it, do some copyediting, MOS tweaking, see if any more expansion is needed, we should be good. I would appreciate any and all help.

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Oklahoma
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!

Oklahoma articles needing geographic coordinates
 articles in Category:Oklahoma articles missing geocoordinate data do not have geographic coordinates. Coords are useful for making the article appear on Google Maps & many other mapping services; and they allow our users to click through to see the article subject location on a map. There's a short guide to on how to add geocodes to articles ... it really is very easy to do. I hope you'll take some time to ensure that Oklahoma is as well represented as it can be on wikipedia by fixing up the listed articles. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
