Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/Announcements

Would it be appropriate to set a time limit for announcements eg anything older than 3 months gets deleted?&mdash; Rod talk 09:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Epbr123 15:07, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Also, how about giving candidates priority over successes? i.e. peer review and featured article candidates remain on this page for as long as they remain open, and if the page gets too long, we delete the "news" items before we delete the actionable items. My original thinking behind this page was that it would alert us to articles that need attention, e.g. because they're on peer review or FAC, rather than being news. Of course, I admit to not being very good at following and working on the PRs and FACs myself. Joe D (t) 20:13, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I would agree that candidates are important - perhaps the box could be split into 2 - one half giving recent annoncements & the other giving 5 recent candidacies? Or we could rename it from announcements to current exemplars (or a better name). If it was done now WP:GAC includes: Bath Abbey, Skye, Kingston upon Hull, Lealholm, Flat Holm, Channel Tunnel, Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway, Severn Beach Line and Anglesey Central Railway. At WP:FAC is Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway. If these all qualify (? the railways) it would mean removal of almost all the current announcements of promotions etc which might seem a bit harsh on the people who worked hard on them, as the max list of 10 items seems to include less than 3 months proposed above.&mdash; Rod talk 19:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Also Ivybridge is on the list as GAC but there is no record of this on the talk page.&mdash; Rod talk 19:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Ivybridge will get there eventualy. 206.71.52.13 (talk) 22:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Peer review/Brownhills

Peer Reviews
Just put Plymouth up for peer review. By looking at the template, I can't see any peer reviews, so I'm unsure if it's notable enough to add, although WPUKGEO is a great place to entice people into peer reviewing. 206.71.52.13 (talk) 22:46, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Can we automate the updating of this list?
I noticed this list was updated after a long period of neglect (& I added a more recent promotion). Could we set up Article alerts or similar to maintain the list, which would also focus more on current nominations etc as discussed above (years ago). It is currently implemented on the project page (under the todo list) and as of todays date shows 1 FA nom, 1 GA nom & 2 articles at peer review which are not included in this list - I will add them but maintaining it is another chore.&mdash; Rod talk 14:52, 17 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I'd pretty much forgotten this page existed, but I think automating the process with article alerts would be useful so maintaining it doesn't become a drain. Nev1 (talk) 15:24, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * WikiProject UK geography/Article alerts does the same thing, do you think we should redirect this page there? Nev1 (talk) 15:27, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Possibly, although this would remove the announcements of recent FAs GAs etc - if some clever techie person (definitely not me) could combine WikiProject UK geography/Article alerts with the latest entries from User:JL-Bot/Project content that would do the job.&mdash; Rod talk 15:46, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I've got JL-Bot on the case now, it just needs waiting for it to run to see if it's worked. If it has then this page could be transcluded on the main page below the Article Alerts - they are more important, so they should come first. I've rearranged the main page to make AAs more visible. Once it's working one might be able to play with it further, but in any case, less pretty and automated is definitely more useful than pretty and 14 months out of date!!! I suspect JL-Bot may get confused if it's required to do both a top-6 summary and a full listing on the same page, so it's best if the summary is transcluded from here.
