Another election season in the United States, another round of watching editors add controversies, or expand on content which may place the subject of the article in a negative light, to the articles of candidates with an R by their name that are already sufficiently notable to have an article. -sigh- Just venting, as I have largely reduced my editing of political articles in my recent expansion of activity.--[[User:RightCowLeftCoast|RightCowLeftCoast]] ([[User talk:RightCowLeftCoast|talk]]) 05:49, 1 June 2018 (UTC) |

Please comment on CNN
We have an RfC taking place at Talk:CNN#Survey. I'm not really sure what the difference is between a survey and an RfC, but there are two sections on our page. Trying to rework the lede, but it's getting a little heated so any help in taking down the temperature a notch would be most welcomed. Mr. Daniel Plainview (talk) 15:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Brand new articles to improve--can you help?
We have two new stubs that would be fun to expand. Each has three reliable sources. Great candidates for DYK. What is DYK? See our entertaining guide here "DYK For Newbies."

Update pages
This WikiProject was created 7 years ago. There have been many changes to WikiProject architecture. Examples include incubators being replaced by DRAFT space, several bots were retired resulting in broken reports, the newsletter delivery bot was retired. But the most exciting development is the new page design to come out of work done by the WikiProject X team. An example is here. I propose we update the project. Who wants to help? – Lionel(talk) 09:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
Updated Assessment page!
We now have an updated page for Assessments. It is streamlined and has fewer buttons and expended info on how to assess articles. It also utilizes the new header, which is based on WikiProject X.
Why does a WikiProject have Assessment? Apart from keeping statistical data, promoting to B-Class requires an independent reviewer, and A-Class requires two independent reviewers. Also articles assessed as Top-importance are candidates for the Template:Conservatism. – Lionel(talk) 09:42, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject
The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.
Portals are being redesigned.
The new design features are being applied to existing portals.
At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.
The discussion about this can be found here.
Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.
Background
On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.
Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.
So far, 84 editors have joined.
If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.
If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:31, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Elections season
Another election season in the United States, another round of watching editors add controversies, or expand on content which may place the subject of the article in a negative light, to the articles of candidates with an R by their name that are already sufficiently notable to have an article. -sigh- Just venting, as I have largely reduced my editing of political articles in my recent expansion of activity.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 05:49, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
