[edit] Updating proofreading status?
Does the status template at the top of the proofreading page update automatically? If so, how often? I've done several edits in the last week or so, but it looks like the bar hasn't updated since 2/16? Galena11 18:47, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't. I'd update it myself (I think I understand the mechanics behind it), but I don't know how the numbers are calculated, as they don't seem to make sense to me. If someone wants to explain it, that'd be cool. Also, if desired, I could probably write a bot to do it automatically -- see User:CbmBOT for an bot I've already got running that does a similar task (updates the statistics table on Category:Cleanup by month). –Dvandersluis 19:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- If we could have a bot, I think that would be ideal. One less thing to keep up with manually! Would you be willing to give that a try? Galena11 20:27, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Absolutely. If I could get a set of rules to operate on (again, I'm a bit clueless as to how the numbers are being calculated), I can whip something up when I get a chance (probably sometime this week)... :) –Dvandersluis 20:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Suggestion
As a suggestion I was thinking maybe this part of the project should adapt similar rules as Did you know template. This would definetely encourage further improvements of article other than actually writing them and would help to discourage a backlog from forming with poor articles. My primary inspiration for such a suggestion is lack of cited sourced in some of this requested articles. How do you feel about this? Thank you. 74.113.107.4 20:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bullets -> Numbers
Just changed the bullets into numbers, to help give a better picture of where things are backing up. --Sigma 7 17:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ready for proofread list
I added "at the bottom of this list" to the instructions of what to do with an article ready for final proofread. Right now, the list is a mess and is in no particular chronological order. Mr.Z-mantalk¢Review! 02:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
