[edit] Upside-down lists of works
If you spot a list of works, or a list of awards, that is in reverse-chronological order, please either correct it to chronological order as per the manual of style at WP:LOW, or tag it with the template {{MOSLOW}}. This template looks like this:
 |
This article or section contains a list of works that does not follow the Manual of Style for lists of works (often, but not always, due to being in reverse-chronological order) and may need cleanup.
See also other articles contravening the Manual of Style for lists of works. |
A helpful tool is User:Whilding87/ListReverser.
[edit] Attention needed
Adrian Albert looks legitimately notable, but the article is so poorly written and technical it.s really hard to tell. Note also the creator is a strongly suspected sockpuppet. Circeus 16:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Help wanted at WP:LGBT
WP:LGBT has started a drive to cross-reference our LGBT lists with all the people categorised as LGBT on Wikipedia with reliable sources. We have a list of the great unlisted here, and we'd quite like your help! Just committing to adding one person a day to our lists would be great. Please help us out if you can.

[edit] New workgroups: new template parameters & help needed
We have two new workgroups, Wikipedia:WikiProject Peerage and Wikipedia:WikiProject Baronetcies. Baronetcies is a child project of Peerage which is a child project of Biography.
I've updated our template with two new parameters to support these workgroups:
- peerage-work-group=yes
- baronets-work-group=yes
(with some tweaks to follow). I've also written a script to create assessment categories, which I used to set their categories up. I'll also be adding code to support the new params to my plugin, and doing a bot run.
So... since that's a lot of work, I'd be grateful if somebody else (who know's what they're doing) could:
- Add the WP Bio navigation templates and other information to the pages of the 2 new projects, like already at WP:BROY and WP:MUSICIANS
- Add the new workgroups to the navigation templates
- Ensure that the workgroups' infrastructure is properly categorised within WikiProject Biography.

[edit] WP Munich People Task Force
I'm looking for some members to work on a task force for WikiProject Munich which would be all about biographies related to people born in Munich Kingjeff 05:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Interwiki links confusion
Let me carefully explain:
- Inter-wiki links are links from one wiki to another. This is things like v:Philosophy linking to Wikiversity's Philosophy page.
- Intra-wiki links are the ones within a wiki, like Calvinism or Wikipedia:WikiProject Calvinism, linking to pages locally stored on Wikipedia
If you're wondering why I'm going on about this, it's because the 11-step section uses this term incorrectly, and links to an article that describes inter-wiki links, when you're talking about intra-wiki links.
My suggestion would be to link intra-wiki links (which doesn't have a page) to the appropriate part of the manual.
