Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Taxation

Update, Tidy & Revive
Given that this project is semi-active, does anyone mind if I do a few things to update/summarise the project page, etc. and undertake some administrative activities to encourage participation in this project? Hawkgeminus (talk) 06:47, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No objections here Morphh   (talk) 14:01, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I have gone ahead and made some updates to the project page. I will do more as I get time. Hawkgeminus (talk) 22:21, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I have archived all previous discussions due to inactivity. They can be viewed at /Archive 2. Hawkgeminus (talk) 00:36, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I have moved all members on the list of members to a new Inactive Members sub-heading pending a clean up of the list. Hawkgeminus (talk) 00:38, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Nice, Thanks - it was definitely needed. Morphh   (talk) 21:31, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No problemo! I have also refreshed the assessment department page with the view to begin actively assessing taxation articles again. Hawk Geminus  09:27, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I also amended the list of members by removing anyone who had not made any contributions to Wikipedia in over 12 months. Hawk Geminus  10:05, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Added a task list to the project page. I think the most important task at this stage is to recruit more participants to support this WikiProject. I will look at creating a invite template that we can put on the Talk pages of users we come across who are making good/positive contributions to taxation articles.  Hawk Geminus  06:25, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I have created Taxproj_Invite to invite new participants to this project. Hawk Geminus  07:47, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Taxation!

A WikiProject is a group of contributors who work together as a team to improve Wikipedia. If you are new to WikiProjects, please see WikiProjects and WikiProject best practices.

We are looking for participants to assist in all aspects of this WikiProject, so don't hesitate to lend a hand in any way that you can. If there is a specific way you would like to help out, or if you have any suggestions for this project, please [ start a new discussion ]

The following tasks have been added to the task list: If you would like to discuss or suggest a task for the task list, please [ start a new discussion ]
 * Recruit more participants to support this WikiProject. This can be done by adding Taxproj_Invite to the talk page of a user who has made positive contributions to a taxation-related article.
 * Clear the backlog of unassessed taxation articles. Please update the assessment department page if you assess any taxation articles.
 * Clean up taxation articles listed on the current cleanup listing.

We are currently working towards three milestones: If you would like to discuss or suggest a milestone, please [ start a new discussion ]
 * Assess 95% of taxation articles and lists.
 * 20% of articles C-Class or better.
 * 80% of articles Start-Class or better.

Tax cap
Tax cap is a ridiculous stub, and has been for twelve years - can we get this fixed up? bd2412 T 01:17, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Request feedback + Changes to the current Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base page
Hello

After reviewing the current CCCTBwiki, I had to conclude that the three-factor formula isn't 100% correct according to the CCCTB-proposal made by the European Commission (EC). The three-factor formula is made by three factors the labour part consists out of the payroll and the number of employees; see chapter VIII or 8 in the proposal.

Article request
Hello. I wonder if it would make sense to create Internal Revenue Service Oversight Board, with a list of current and past members? I am clueless about this topic, and I thought someone from this WP might be interested in creating it. Please ping me if/when you do. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:20, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
 * This project is pretty inactive, but I noticed this request after I created the article. I welcome any help if you still want to work on it. &#12296; Forbes72 &#124; Talk &#12297; 16:35, 23 April 2022 (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) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Peer review page update
Hi all, I've boldly updated your project's peer review page (WikiProject Taxation/Peer review) by updating the instructions and archiving old reviews.

The new instructions use Wikipedia's general peer review process (WP:PR) to list peer reviews. Your project's reviews are still able to be listed on your local page too.

The benefits of this change is that review requests will get seen by a wider audience and are likely to be attended to in a more timely way (many WikiProject peer reviews remain unanswered after years). The Wikipedia peer review process is also more maintained than most WikiProjects, and this may help save time for your active members.

I've done this boldly as it seems your peer review page is pretty inactive and I am working through around 90 such similar peer review pages. Please feel free to discuss below - please ping me in your response.

Cheers and hope you are well, Tom (LT) (talk) 23:56, 9 November 2020 (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.

Source that could be useful for multiple articles
Hello WikiProject Taxation editors!

I wanted to share a potential source because it could be useful to those here working on article about taxation. It presents data that shows how different state tax levels are driving migration within the United States.

Any interest in reactivating this project with me?
I would like to work on reactivating this project, if there are others who would be interested in working with me on that?

In the meantime, I'm going to work on updating this list by adding existing articles to the category and by making articles for the most distinguished tax law scholars who do not already have articles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Scholars_of_tax_law

I'm thinking I will start with this list of most cited us tax law scholars: https://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2021/08/10-most-cited-tax-scholars-in-the-us-2016-2020.html. But any suggestions or advice on this would be welcome, and if anyone would like to work with me on this that would be very welcome! JDtoBee (talk) 20:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
