Wikipedia talk:WikiProject San Francisco 49ers

Anyone here?
I see this WikiProject currently has an inactive tag. The 49ers are playoff-bound at this point in the 2013 season, and this would be a good time to revive the project if there is interest among Wikipedians. Anyone here? Jus da  fax   21:48, 15 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I am surprised to see no reply, but am going to remove the inactive tag. With the Niners in the playoffs, others may be attracted to join up. Jus  da  fax   01:42, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes
I never answered this because I didn't know about this page. Nor did I know about the inactive tag. I've been working on expanding and standardizing each of the season pages, starting from the beginning, and have been an occasional updater of the current pages.

 * Excellent! While this season is getting off to a slow start, I suspect things will pick up. I am going to look at the articles of the current roster, and see which are in obviously poor shape. Jus  da  fax   08:08, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

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) 22:48, 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.

2015 Season - changes to the page
Obviously the photo of Coach Harbaugh had to go. Since there is none yet of Coach Tomsula, I replaced it with the team logo. However, the logo size makes the entire right side larger. If someone knows the coding to fix that, feel free. After looking at it for a while, I'm starting to like it, though the left side looks a bit awkward and is now longer. I have also updated the current collaboration. Also, the cursive type is hard to read. I propose we change it to standard text. Jus da  fax   07:51, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You still interested in working on 49ers articles?  Kees08  (Talk)   02:30, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
 * My time can be limited occasionally, and I want to get the WikiProject looking better. I have now deleted the markup in question, the cursive text is now standardized. In the absence of a photo in Wikimedia Commons of Coach Kyle Shanahan in 49er gear, I have left the team logo. Jusdafax (talk) 08:39, 3 March 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)

Requested move at Talk:San Francisco Gold Rush
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:San Francisco Gold Rush that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him &#124; talk) 21:12, 2 March 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.

Discussion at Content assessment
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. &#x0020;This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.
