Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television/Degrassi task force

You guys- feel free to add stuff. I'm not in charge, I just started it. ;)  andrew  09:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Question
For all the Degrassi related pages, do I put the wikiproject link in it?

Dammit...
I was thinking of creating the exact same WikiProject... then I found out I'm too late, by about half a month. Oh well. hehe :D -→ Buchanan-Hermit ™ / ?!  19:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

That's alright. We need to do a bit of promotion to get more members. andrew 05:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm interested in helping out—although I don't have any experience in WikiProjects. Zoë 07:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I wanna join too. TPREX 01:54, 29 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Anyone can join. First, add you name to the list of participants on the main page. That's basically it. Glad you guys want to join. :D -- andrewI20 Talk 05:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I added your names to the list, since you both said you wanted to join. I hope that's okay.-- andrewI20 Talk 05:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks alot TPREX 02:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Portal
I was thinking, that in the future, if we have enough members, and guides and whatnot, that we could have a Degrassi Portal. Any comments?  andrew  09:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Project Directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
 * User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
 * User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
 * User:Badbilltucker/Science directory

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now moved the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. 207.160.66.129 13:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:21, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

List of issues
I started creating a list of issues in Degrassi TNG here. I've done everything up to the end of season 4; but before I go any further, do you guys think a list like this is useful for Wikipedia? -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 08:52, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't bother me. Some of the issues they covered were considered by some "controversial" and may be notable. If someone else doesn't think it's proper for wikipedia, they can always nominate it for Afd, and then it can be decided then. You're not hurting anyone by trying. Of course, it's a bit biased for us to properly decide it's notability, since we're involved. I looked over your test article, and it looks great. --  theblueflamingo  Speak 02:22, 7 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a good idea. It would relieve some strain from the main article page (a bit congested from attempting to list all the issues) and could be linked easily from the front page and degrassi template. Oh and remember to add spoiler alerts. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.229.220.235 (talk) 01:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

List of issues addressed in Degrassi: The Next Generation now exists, after weeks of work and re-watching/re-skimming of every Degrassi TNG episode to date. I'm pooped. But at least now the header for the TNG article won't have 5-8 lines just listing the issues addressed on the show. :) -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 08:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Redundant character articles.
OK, I forget where exactly I saw this recently, but I do remember that it was a comment by an unregistered user. Anyway, they made a valid point: some of the character articles, as is, are rather redundant. Events are often described on the article for each character involved. Perhaps we can revisit the goal of creating episode articles; or even something to the tune of "Degrassi: The Next Generation episodes, Season x" wherein detailed summaries exist for each episode of Season x. What I'd worry about though is where character biographies would be left if the events were (re)moved from them. Thoughts? --TS1 23:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, since all the Buffy the Vampire episodes have articles, and they're no more notable than Degrassi, I think it would be okay if we made episode articles. If we did, we would have to keep working on them. Not just create them, and forget. I think we need a better template for Degrassi article talk pages (ratings, and importance scale). So far, this wikiproject has been really...slow, so to speak. Nice to see this finally pick up again.-- theblueflamingo  Speak 05:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Me
Ok I'll be glad to join and contribute but I don't have an account and won't be creating one due to personal reasons. Anyways, if you see a couple edits by a random IP, it's most likely me as my IP changes.

If you have any image requests relating to the show, I will be willing to provide screenshots. It's much easier if you give me the specifics (such as episode... or time frame is possible). Just make a request here or something and I'll try to respond to it. As I'm not a member and cannot upload images, if a request is made, I'll simply just upload it to imageshack and relink it back here to ensure a smooth transition of the picture. My collection extends from the first season to the current one however, the quality in the fifth season is lacking.

I'll try my best to edit all aspects of The Degrassi Universe but I most likely may be busy and will not be able to fulfill requests/do page edits and additions until some time is made available.

Some major areas of focus:
 * Degrassi Community School only a stub, needs a LOT of work and copy editing as there is a lot of information which can be added.
 * Refix the degrassi template. I've added characters in accordance to the order of appearance in the credits/the order of addition to the cast and changed the title colour to coincide with the Degrassi colours for illustrative and descriptive purposes. Anyway, there needs to be two columns, as seen in the buffyverse template.
 * There are some splits (major characters from minor) and merges (kevin smith piece in Degrassi Series article to the Degrassi: TNG article) which are in need of attention.


 * I'll try to contribute as much as possible. Oh and by the way, I've only seen up to Season 3 so far... so I don't think I'll be able to provide much information to anything after mid-season 3 but I'll be more than capable to extend the information prior to then.

--64.229.220.235 05:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Page Pictures
Ok for each individual series, i think that the procedure is that the image should be the logo. So for Degrassi TNG could somebody put that up there instead? And maybe for the main series article (Degrassi) we could actually have the pictures of the various people from the different series (like the one used for the Degrassi TNG article now) or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.229.225.212 (talk) 13:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC).

Character categories
Should we split Category:Degrassi characters into separate ones, for the different Degrassi series? -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 04:32, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, I suppose. Right now, it seems predominately DTNG characters, but that's because some character articles from the old series need to be categorized.-- theblueflamingo  Speak 05:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, in that case, let's wait until we have more Degrassi Junior High characters until splitting the categories. -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 09:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Character Articles Manual of Style
I think we should have a Maunual of Style for our Degrassi character articles. There are only 9 Good articles on fictional characters (James Bond, Darth Vader, Donut (Red vs. Blue), Pauline Fowler, Max Rebo Band, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Sarlacc, Homer Simpson,Storm). I also want to mention the Buffy Summers article, which isn't classified as good, but it's probably about B-Class on the wiki asssesment scale. Maybe if we took some ideas from their articles are come up with a style which we use on the Degrassi Characters article, the quality of those articles could greatly improve. Some facts should be included is a bio of character, impact, and other good details for a good article. -- theblueflamingo  Speak 05:49, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I've tried rewriting a few articles, but i'm not quite sure what we're going for in the character articles. An official WikiProject Degrassi manuel of style for character articles would help out alot. TPREX 02:14, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * To add to this, the current character articles are to detailed. They give a blow by blow account of each episode (who kissed who etc). Looking at other character articles, they are written to give broad direcctions and summerised story lines. All the character articles in this project need shortening to get to the point. The reader should not have to wade through the text to find out about the character. Rimmeraj 03:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed. The character articles would greatly benefit from a major overhauling, and the use of episode citations.  Rather than having a blow by blow of every episode and season, prose sections to discuss the characters personality traits and history (with possible subsections on major life events) would be much more useful (with episode citations).  AnmaFinotera 05:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Article Assessment
I changed the talk page template a bit, and now we have a assessment scale. I decided to leave the importance one out. So, from now on, feel free to assess an article or two when you get the chance. I did a few for now. -- theblueflamingo  Speak 06:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I posted a question on the template's talkpage regarding a possible additional entry specifying which Degrassi show the article is about. -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 08:52, 18 January 2007 (UTC)


 * And I also agree with you leaving the "importance" element out. Personally, I've never found that attribute particularly helpful. -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 09:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Degrassi's 40 Go There-ist Moments on The-N
I'm not sure if you're aware, but Degrassi's 40 Go There-ist Moments on The-N has been deleted before after an AfD debate (found here. The old version had the entire 40 moments listed, but was determined to be too fan-crufty to be a Wikipedia article, hence the deletion. Perhaps this should me merged into another article altogether, because I can see the reasons why it was too fan crufty and has a high chance of being re-deleted. -→ Buchanan-Hermit™ / ?! 00:09, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I thought that got cancelled. Honestly, I'm not sure if that's really notable for wikipedia. I'm sure whoever created the 2nd one had no clue about the first one. Maybe we could do a Degrassi specials article, about the special Degrassi events (like every episode marathon ever, 40 most go there-est), but I doubt even that's even notable. If the article is fixed up a bit, it might be able to pass an afd. -- theblueflamingo  Speak 00:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I found the article when I was browsing The N's wikipedia page and I just linked it from the Degrassi template hoping it to be expanded later. I didn't know about the previous discussion. I suggest that we either make it more acceptable by wikipedia standards, or delete it and have it as a article stub, on another page (i think thats the right terminology). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xallium (talk • contribs) 13:54, 19 January 2007 (UTC).


 * It's been deleted, and I agree with it.--&lt;sup&gt;&#91;&#91;http&#58;//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xallium&#124;talk&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;&#91;&#91;http&#58;//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Xallium&#124;contribs]]&lt;/sub&gt;]] 16:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The Mall
You think we should make a mall article? Though we don't even know its name, its been featured in countless episodes and we could list the retail outlets in it. Or something like that —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.229.4.217 (talk) 14:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC).

Change Spouse?
Since everybody's practically in high school an are hardly married, should we change spouse to something more practical? Like romantic relationship or somethign —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xallium (talk • contribs) 13:07, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
 * Since this show mainly has teenagers, I agree. We should change it. -- theblueflamingo  confab 03:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. What would be a suitable term though... Significant other? Romantic relatiionship?... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xallium (talk • contribs) 02:40, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
 * I changed it to Partner, since most of the characters are not married. Partner makes a bit more sense than spouse for teenagers. You have to manually change it though, otherwise it won't show up. I've fixed a couple at the moment, and will eventually get the rest. Oh, and if the character is married, you can put for example, Character (wife). -- theblueflamingo  Squawk 03:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Category:Degrassi actors up for deletion
The, as well as many other actors by series categories have for some reason been nominated for deletion here. Please voice your opinion on the matter.

D:TNG episode Infobox
Hallo all, I'm currently involved in an improvement drive to limit the amount of various "Episode infoboxes" that exist in wikipedia. This drive comes from several points 1: maintenance. having many almost the same infoboxes makes it harder to present a consistent look. 2: Showspecific infoboxes tend to stick information from the fictional work smack down in the middle of "real world" information 3: they are often used for recurring elements in episodes which are often just trivia or running gags 4: they tend to be used to "pick my own color". All cute and funny, but not very handy. Infobox D:TNG episode is one of these templates. I would like to replace it on all D:TNG pages, and would like to merge the "title song" info back in to the article in some way. The colortheme will be lost by this process, but you can get it back by using television colour if you really want to. I'm just informing the project in advance and would like to hear your comments. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 01:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Episode List
For List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters, I am suggesting that the list be put in order by the amount of episodes the character has appeared in, then alphabetically if needed. Also, the last time I checked a LIST doesn't require a paragraph per item for explanation. Fortyfeet 00:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Could someone please check out this editors contributions and tag and link to/from the episode list. They may also require watching due to some odd edits. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 00:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Episode coverage
The WikiProject Television episode coverage taskforce have recently been working on a review process for episode articles. There are a rash of articles about individual episodes which fail notability, and are unlikely to ever reach such requirements. Many contributors are unaware of the specific guidelines to assess notability in episode pages: Television episodes. We have expanded these guidelines to make them more helpful and explanatory, and we invite you to read the guidelines, and make any comments on its talk page. After much discussion, we have created a proposed review process for dealing with problem articles. See: Television article review process. We invite discussion of this process on its talk page. General comments about this whole process are welcome at the episode coverage taskforce talkpage. Thanks! Gwinva 10:13, 20 June 2007 (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!

WikiProject Media franchises
Dear WikiProject Degrassi participants...WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish. Thank you. LA @ 21:30, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Franchise naming convention discussion at WikiProject Media franchises
Dear WikiProject Degrassi participants...WikiProject Media franchises is currently discussing a naming convention for franchise articles. Since this may affect one or more articles in your project, we would like to get the opinions of all related projects before implimenting any sweeping changes. Please come and help us decide. Thanks!

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Degrassi
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!

Size of Infobox tvseason images
Hello, there. At this current FLC, an editor commented that they felt the image in the infobox section was a little big. The image in question is 200px wide, which is within the norm for episodes list as far as I understand. The editor added, "This in a way goes against WIAFL Cr 6, Visual appeal. because the image is very distracting. I would consult with the respective project(s) to discuss reducing the default size for the images in the infobox." It seems to me that the consensus about infobox image width in episodes lists goes against the FLC criteria. Your input is welcomed. Rosenknospe (talk) 21:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

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 05:15, 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.

Updates to TV#MOS
I'm not sure how many people monitor WP:MOSTV or even WP:TV (the basic WikiProject for all of us), but we've been trying to get some feedback on additions to the TV Manual of Style. It largely has to do with the inclusion of "Overview" tables at the start of the page, the order in which season lists are presented (currently, there is no concrete order), and what is considered too much info for DVDs (i.e. should we be placing every detail about the box set in the article, from each interview to the aspect ratio, or should be keep it more generalized).

Degrassi 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 Degrassi articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) 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!

Proposed deletion of Heather Farrell


The article Heather Farrell has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unsourced character, no real world coverage or notability to establish

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JJ98 (Talk) 19:26, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Merger of this project into WikiProject Television as a task force
It has been suggested that WikiProject Degrassi be merged into WikiProject Television as a task force since the project might be inactive or semi-active. After reviewing this project that it appears that there have not been any active discussion on the talk page in some time and the only content updates appear to be simple maintenance so being supported by a larger project might be beneficial. If you have questions or comments, please let us know. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions)  08:32, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * "It has been suggested"? Is this the suggestion, or is there a discussion elsewhere? 117Avenue (talk) 13:46, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No, just to clarify here that the project is not very active like WikiProject Canadian TV shows. Just adding and converting into a task force. The only change is adding to the project banner template as you can see the looks and with others such as Avatar: The Last Airbender, Glee and Dexter task forces. This would allow the project to be visible of much large editors as well as take advantage by various bots. See WP:INACTIVEWP for more information. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions)  11:40, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
 * As the sole member of this project, I've wanted to close this project for quite some time, but there have been more important things to do. 117Avenue (talk) 14:24, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Date format
Even though I doubt many remain members of this project, I would like to discuss the date format being used on Degrassi related articles. In accordance with the first portion of the first point of WP:DATERET, many Degrassi articles use primarily one date style, dmy. However, the remainder of the first point states that it can be changed based on a national tie. I believe that most of English speaking Canada uses mdy, and that Degrassi has a strong following in the United States, which also uses mdy. For this reason I would like to change the date format used on articles in this project to mdy, despite what WP:STRONGNAT says. 117Avenue (talk) 23:55, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

I'll start then. 117Avenue (talk) 01:43, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Series overview tables
Please come to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Television to discuss the implementation of these tables in television articles, from main articles to List of Episode pages.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  19:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Leaflet for Wikiproject Degrassi at Wikimania 2014
Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014 For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to: Project leaflets Adikhajuria (talk) 10:42, 26 June 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) 22:47, 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.

Degrassi: The New Class
I'm treating this as a new series, even though all the leads are being carried over from season 14 of the current show, as opposed to actually creating this as if it were only a season. -- Zanimum (talk) 14:59, 9 June 2015 (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.

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)

Turn this WikiProject into a Taskforce?
I invite editors to join the discussion at WP:WikiProject Television to convert many inactive WikiProjects into taskforces, including this one. – sgeureka t•c 12:54, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

Focus on the older shows
I have been expanding many articles pertaining to the original series because this taskforce/WikiProject is heavily biased towards The Next Generation. I believe this taskforce, as inactive as it is, should now concentrate on covering the original series. ToQ100gou! ToQ100gou! Shupatsu Shinkou! (the chitter-chatter) 01:45, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Featured article review
I have nominated Degrassi: The Next Generation 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.

Closing inactive task forces
I invite editors to join the discussion at WP:WikiProject Television to close inactive task forces, including this one. Gonnym (talk) 12:08, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

Need Feedback and submission help
Hi, I have created a draft for biography : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Zo%C3%AB_Belkin. She plays Athena in Dirt Off Your Shoulder. I need some feedback and suggestion to improve the article so it can be accepted. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reg.AmPm (talk • contribs) 16:18, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Rick Murray
There is a redirect from Rick Murray to List of Degrassi: The Next Generation characters, but I can't find a list entry for Rick Murray. The history of Rick Murray shows that there was previously an article that has been cut down to a redirect, but the redirect doesn't seem to be to a list entry. Am I missing something? Or is the list missing something? Robert McClenon (talk) 18:18, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
