Proposing creation of a Jewish American task force
Hello there. I had this idea of creating a Jewish American task force specifically for Jewish American cultures and communities. There really isn't any WikiProject specifically on it and given that America has the largest Jewish population in the world I think it would be prudent there be a task force focusing on them. Omnis Scientia (talk) 12:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)


 * So I found a active taskforce page WikiProject Jewish-Americans. I think it can be improved. @OwenBlacker, in the talk page here you mentioned there is a way to make banner and add the parameters yes and Jewish-Americans-importance to . If you can explain to me how, I would love to help out there. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:28, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Sentient (intelligence analysis system) - expanded this article substantially, what now?
Hello, can I ask please if the members of this project can go to the talk page of this article I've been expanding and review it? It is still listed as a Stub on the Talk page and I'm still not quite sure on the Project-type and back-end work necessary here.

This is the article:


 * Sentient (intelligence analysis system)
 * Talk:Sentient_(intelligence_analysis_system)

I had expanded it from 2606 bytes long on January 1, 2024 to now 30,669 bytes long as of June 6, 2024. I updated a variety of related/connected pages as well.

I'm not quite sure what to do next and still have a variety of sources to still go through, but I may be running out of usable collateral (TBD, what I think I have left is here).

What's next? Refinement? Good articles? I would definitely welcome some help on Talk:Sentient_(intelligence_analysis_system). Thanks all. -- Very Polite Person (talk) 18:57, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Preferred Format for a City's Demographics Section?
I've made a Python script which uses the Census API and writes a demographics section based on the most recent American Community Survey that I'm planning on releasing once I clean up the code a bunch and comment it some more. I figured it'd be a good idea to have some degree of support on what these updated sections should look like, before I just start editing them en masse.

The first draft of formatting can be found for a medium sized city (New London, Connecticut), a large city (Los Angeles) page and a small city (Marfa, Texas).

One kinda important question is whether it's a virtue or a vice that the ACS updates every year? Would it be better to use Census data, either partially or solely?

A general question I have about this is what information should be included that wasn't, and what information should I get rid of that is included? Another general question is how can I make the wording/ordering better?

Some nittier-grittier questions: GrapesRock (talk) 21:36, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 1) For the population/housing density citation (the one beginning with "to calculate the density"), should that be a note instead of a reference? Also, should it include the actual square mile figure from the Gazetteer file, or just point the reader in the direction where the actual figure can be found (which is what it does now)?
 * 2) Some of the race names are fairly verbose, is that fine?
 * 3) * The ACS data for ancestry had a row for "French (excluding Basque)" which baffled me. I took it to mean simply French American excluding French Canadian American, was this right?
 * 4) Should "some other race" be included in the sort (it is in the current version), or should it be after all the named races, but before "two or more races"?
 * 5) Should any elements of the 2nd paragraph first sentence be sorted (or broken up into more than one sentence)?
 * 6) Is 0.5% a good cut-off for including ancestry (I only include an ancestry if at least 0.5% identified as it). In the same vein, is 0.1% a good cut-off for race?
 * 7) * Is there a good way for it to be clear that "other" doesn't refer to races that weren't included because of this cut-off (e.g. in the Marfa one, it seems that a reader could conceivably think that other is referring to African Americans or Native Americans)?


 * Hearing no feedback, I'm releasing the script out into the world, and plan on using it on various pages. It is found here: https://github.com/GrapesWikipedia/DemographicsWriter. If you use it, make sure to check the output before adding it to Wikipedia GrapesRock (talk) 22:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Reminder to everyone that USCITY (a subset of WP:CITY) is where these types of questions should be asked. •  Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 07:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Huge grammar problems on many pages on specific african diasporas in the United States
I have been noticing an enormous amount of grammar mistakes on pages such as South Sudanese Americans. I'm not sure if this is a well known issue with these pages, but I feel that this talk page is probably the best place to mention it. I have been working to improve some of the grammar mistakes on some of the pages, but there are far too many for me to handle. Gaismagorm (talk) 13:40, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Requesting assistance editing Ohio State University protest article.
I recently created an article detailing the college protests at Ohio State University. After this article was made extended-protected, I lost my ability to edit the article because I do not have EP permissions. Substantial details are missing from this article, so until I regain my permissions, I have been adding suggestions to the talk page of this article. But no one has been implementing my suggestions on the talk page, despite the fact they are supported by multiple sources and add significant missing details from the article.

If members of this community could please visit the talk page of this article and implement my requested changes, this would be deeply appreciated. Thank you! Onlineone22 (talk) 19:18, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @Moxy,
 * I've added a lot of edit requests to the talk page using the extended protected template, but so far, nobody has touched my proposed changes. If you could please do the honors, that would be greatly appreciated. :)

John H. Smythe
has his name given as John Henry Smyth by the State Department and Google thinks he's the for the name vs the British parliamentary backbencher we have parked at John Henry Smyth now. This was an ambassador to Liberia who was one of State's higher posted blacks/BIPOCs during Reconstruction so it's kind of obnoxious if we're getting his name badly wrong and putting a less important Brit over his namespace. Anyone able to look it up and figure out which one is correct? or, if both are, which one we should be using? — Llywelyn II   10:40, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
