Tagging articles
Alright, there are a bots to help with this task. So to save yourselves some work you should build a list of categories and subcategories that should be tagged with {{Glass}}. The categories doesn't need to be "clean", as long as it contains articles that could be of interest to WP Glass. But don't pick something like Category:Books because one in 100 millions will be about a glass-related topics.
After you do this, I'll get bots to tag the articles based on category membership and automatically assess them (for quality, importance remains untouched) based on the already present templates from the other Wikiprojects (if possible). The next step will be to review the assesments (preferably starting with FA, then FL, then A, then GA, then B, etc. in descending order) to make sure that these are actually related to this project, and that the B class articles are actually up to B class standards.
Doing things in this order will save you a lot of work, believe me. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 02:34, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

- I've struck a few that I think would be best for humans to go through due to the low relevance and high false positive rates. I'm rather puzzled by some of these categories, such as Category:Lists of telescopes. I wonder if tagging all photographic lens is a sound thing to do (altough lens type is definetely appropriate). I'll let this sit for two-three days to give you and others some times to find other categories you didn't think of, and to comment on what's there so far. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 05:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

-
- All right, this is fine with me. I made the list rather quickly, therefore the errors are in it you noted. If I find more categories in the coming days, I will add them here. Concerning the photographic lenses, I am not sure what to do. Please give me some time to think about it. --Afluegel (talk) 06:55, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

-
- I know glasses are not crystals, but Category:Crystalline solids and Category:Crystallography seems to have sub categories (as well as sub sub cats, and sub sub sub cats...), that could be of relevance. Perhaps some would be even appropriate for bot tagging, but human eyes should definitely go look at them.Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 23:08, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

- I found indeed some articles such as Underglaze that are very relevant. Underglaze is now also in a glass category. So far I did not find a whole relevant category, but I will keep looking. Again, thank you very much for your help!--Afluegel (talk) 07:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

- Concerning the lenses: You might be right. We should keep only the category Lenses for tagging, and not tag all the other lens type categories. Otherwise there are three further interesting categories: Amorphous solids, Amorphous silicon, and Materials with minor glass phase. Please also consider the new glass artist categories below in the section Suggestions.--Afluegel (talk) 14:06, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Suggestions
1. Can I suggest that these categories are standardised and tha all later ones of a similar type take the same form?
- Category:British stained glass artists and manufacturers
- Category:Irish stained glass artists
- Category:Stained glass artists of the United States
My preference is for the first form which allows for the fact that many designers were/are also maufacturers, but some artists freelanced or worked for a number of factories during their lifetime.
2. Other countries for which articles should be developed are
- Category:French stained glass artists and manufacturers
- Category:German stained glass artists and manufacturers
- Category:Australian stained glass artists and manufacturers
Stained glass manufacture in Australia is a surprisingly well-developed industry, given the small population of that country during the 19th century. The reason for this is that European settlement was happening very fast. The towns and villages were often far apart and so each needed at least two churches, Church of England and Roman Catholic. Many also had a Presbyterian Church and a Methodist Chapel. Hundreds of churches were built within a very short time. Most of them were tiny weatherboard buildings, but none-the-less, almost every single one of them contains at least one stained glass window, many of them locally made.
Amandajm (talk) 12:13, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

- As we discussed the topic already concerning the British, I fully agree with you. - A related topic: Would you mind to create sub-categories within the ones you proposed about contemporary and historic artists and manufacturers? The advantages are that the historic part can be linked to history, and (as far as I can tell with my little experience in this field) stained glass art had a different character in the past, often tied to religion.--Afluegel (talk) 13:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
-
-
- If there is agreement, take it to WP:CFD so bots/users with AWB will do the heavy work (unless this only affect 20 articles or so, where it's easier to do it yourself, especially with AWB).Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 23:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Template
Is there a good reason why the template for this Taskforce, being placed on glass related articles this evening, is representing itself as a WikiProject template and not a taskforce that it is? ww2censor (talk) 22:10, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- If you have some knowledge about templates, discuss it with User:Headbomb and change it to Taskforce. I do not have sufficient experience with this. As far as I know this is not possible, but I might (hopefully) be wrong. The problem is that Glass can not be 100% a child of the WikiProject Physics or any other WikiProject, it needs to be the child of several projects. Consequently, it can not just be incorporated into the Physics template. This would not look good on art or history pages.--Afluegel (talk) 22:49, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, the reason is technical more than anything else. Not very important if you ask me. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 22:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
Murrine
not sure where else to put this so i will add it here, sorry if thats wrong. Murrine can be made by fusing flat sheet glass into bricks, and then stretching those bricks like cane in the hotshop. I know this because i did this last friday :D. just wanted to add that

Recruiting
Alright, the taskforce is reasonably set up. Some tips to recruit people:
- Notify other related projects that the taskforce is set up and that you are looking for members. Encourage to watch the alert page (needs to show bot edits) as an alternative to place their name on the memberlist.
- Place a notice on the high profile glass-related articles (Talk:Glass, Talk:Stained glass, ...)
- Think of other editors that worked on glass related articles, or that seemed to know something about glass related topics and personally invite them to join the taskforce. If they decline because they don't feel comfortable in joining, invite them at least watch the alerts page (show bot edits). If you don't know that many (or any) such editors, go through the history of glass-related articles and look for people who added content. It is my experience that many will ask questions about the benefits and pertinence of joining taskforces. My usual reply is that it serves as a centralized rally point to discuss glass articles and to build a list of "go-to people". Some might know a lot about glass art, but don't feel they would "contribute enough" to join, or are not interested by "menial tasks" such as assessment or cleanup. However, many of these people don't mind to place their names on the list to give feedback when requested. And many will agree to at least watch the alert page.
- If you know (in real life) people who are knowledgeable (collegues, friends, etc...), invite them to join wikipedia (or to give it a try, it's intimidating at first, but the community is, as a whole, very supportive).
Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 00:06, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- Just to point out that the new articles notices are now working. Asking the creators of these articles would be a good way to recruit people.Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 04:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Assessing articles.
Alright, since there will be a lot of articles that will be tagged and will need reviewing, here's a road map. Strike things as they get completed.Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 00:44, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
1) Going through FA-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are FA class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If you disagree, submit to WP:FAR.Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
2) Going through FL-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are FL class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If you disagree, submit to WP:FLR.Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
3) Going through GA-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are GA class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If you disagree, submit to WP:GAR.Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
4) Going through A-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are A class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If you disagree, downgrade to B class or lower, as appropriate.Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
5) Going through B-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are B class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If not, re-assess the article. If you think these could be GA-class, summit to WP:GACGive an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
6) Going through C-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are C class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If not, re-assess the article.Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
7) Going through Start-Class Done
Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.If you agree that these articles are Start class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If not, re-assess the article.Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
8) Going through Stub-Class Doing...
- Check if they are indeed glass-related. If not, remove {{Glass}} from the page. Please tag with other project templates as appropriate.
- If you agree that these articles are Stub class, remove |auto=yes from the template. If not, re-assess the article.
- Give an importance rating (go with gut instincts)
- Again thank you! I will start going through the unassessed articles. In a few I removed the template already.--Afluegel (talk) 16:31, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Comments
Does this project want to use A-class? It is customary to have a sort of internal review for this, but since this is a small taskforce, you could simply submit A-class articles to WP:GAC and have it tagged as GA-glass instead. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 00:45, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
- You may leave the option for A-class open, but I am not planning to use if in the near future. Actually, A and GA appear so similar to me that I would not know how to use it now.--Afluegel (talk) 16:28, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Project page design
I think it would be good to add some more content to the glass workgroup page, in particular a shourt summary of the main topics (e.g., Physics, Chemistry, Engineering & Technology, Business, Art, History, Architecture, Geology, important Personalities) with the related articles and To-do lists. This might better provoke the interest of a reader. I personally would need some guidance how to work on this or similar modifications of the project page without messing up the well arranged templates.--Afluegel (talk) 18:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- It seems that I just found it out myself how to format the project page. It is easier as I thought.--Afluegel (talk) 21:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Powder painting
Excuse me, but I created a "Talk:Powder painting" and voiced some questions. It was suggested that I come here to see what this taskforce was doing in the glass category. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia so I really don't understand a lot of what you are doing here. The reason that I'm commenting is that it appears to me that you are missing large sections of today's new glass efforts in the arts, namely kiln-formed glass and lampworking. Kiln-formed glass is largely replacing stained glass in the hobby area and is now making deep inroads into architectural usages. Lampworking or torch-worked glass has a history dating back hundreds of years and kiln-formed glass goes back to Egyptian times. However, technology has brought vast changes to the practice of both.
My article that is being questioned is just one of many 'new' ways of working with glass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jim boles (talk • contribs) 03:54, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Jim, thank you for your contribution Powder painting and the intention to explain new artistic techniques! Do not be discouraged by some initial problems with the Wikipedia policy. Your new article Powder painting is just questioned as many other new articles are. You simply need to learn to address the issues, such as the templates concerning proper referencing and conflict of interest, and it should go well. As long as you do not try to promote your own business through Wikipedia, I do not see a problem. - By the way, you should certainly not mention yourself in the article; you may cross your name out and remain more general. Good luck...--Afluegel (talk) 04:25, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Porcelain
I don't see why this has had the project banner added. Johnbod (talk) 13:20, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Your question is very appropriate. I explained it here on the Porcelain discussion page. The main reason is, that, as far as I know, porcelain has rather considerable glass and glass-ceramic phases, which are still less than 50%, but they are major phases and increases the fracture toughness of modern porcelain. If you wish, I will look for references and add a corresponding section to the porcelain article. Then, there is also an "inofficial" reason: On the longer term, I mean in the course of some years, it might be interesting to have glass and ceramis within one single task force because the topics are closely related. Keeping porcelain within the glass task force is thereby "inofficially" intended to keep the door open. - However, in case you strongly disagree, please feel free to remove the banner and/or to further discuss the subject. Thank you for your input. -- Afluegel (talk) 19:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- I was aware of the technical issue, but glass and ceramics are normally classed seperately by both industry and art history, so I think I will remove the banner. Also few editors seem interested in both (or either, let's face it). We have a certain resurgence of activity on ceramics pages, so may get a project yet. good luck with the glass! Johnbod (talk) 19:55, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
blowing and pressing pictures
Hi! I just drew the following pictures for de:Glasmaschine. Maybe you have use for them :-) Feel free to improve! Gruß aus Deutschland, VMH (talk) 20:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Glass transition merger / massacre
A new user has merged the glass transition temperature with the glass transition -- and is currently attempting to remove the entire previous contents of the original article. Her radically aggressive "slash and burn" editing techniques are completely inappropriate, and totally out of sync with standard Wikipedia protocol. She is obsessively persistent -- and somewhat irrational (cursing me and calling me names like "shameless"). Please advise. -- logger9 (talk) 21:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Physics of glass on endangered species list
The same "slash and burn" editor User:Paula_Pilcher is now formulating her attack on the Physics of glass page. It would not surprise me if it were gone by morning. -- logger9 (talk) 22:04, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Strength of Glass deleted
With no notification whatsoever, I just happened to notice that the article on Strength of glass has been removed in its entirety due to copyright violation. I went to the website they mentioned, and have to say that I have never even seen it before. It is certainly true that I have read and reviewed and relied heavily on the work of Kurkijan (and would be glad to rewrite the article if necessary). But these actions seem to me to be unfounded -- and radically destructive. Please advise -- logger9 (talk) 21:41, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- Well you can go to WP:Deletion review. More simply you could ask an admin to place the article in your userspace so you can fix it and recreate at a later date. Usually if the entire article is not a copyvio (only sections of it), it is customary to send to WP:CV before deleting, or simply delete the guilty section. Weird that the entire article was deleted because of it. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 23:07, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Help needed at Glass transition
I have protected this article over an edit war that seems to have been building for some time. The current version is the one that happened to be live at the time of protection. Input is required from editors who are familiar with the subject to bring the article back on track. Please discuss on the Talk:Glass transition page. Thank you.

Pageview stats
After a recent request, I added WikiProject Physics/Taskforces/Glass to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Taskforces/Glass/Popular pages.
The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 04:16, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Possible CoI at Photonic-crystal fiber
I have concerns about narrow agendas that some editors may be pushing from within the halls of academia. I would be grateful for advice here. Tony (talk) 03:24, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Art glass
Would someone with interest and knowledge of this subject please take a look at this article? I've done a little cleanup, but it's pretty much a mess and needs attention. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:44, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Tube bending
I have added this article to WikiProject Glass per glass tube bending as would be used to make neon signs. The article currently has absolutely zero information on glass tube bending, and so could probably use some attention. Ks0stm (T•C•G) 02:53, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Holmegaard Glass Factory has issues
I'm no glass guy, but I stumbled across this article that looks to me, at least in part, like a crib from corporate literature of some sort. For instance: "During the last couple of years a lot of new initiatives have been launched at Holmegaard Glasværk, and it is now a place for exploration for kids and adults of all ages. You'll be able to create your own piece of glass, and there are great savings in the shop, as well as a museum with some of the factory's most notable pieces." Just a heads up that somebody more knowledgeable really ought to have a look at it. Drhoehl (talk) 19:26, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
Need a Picture
I have two glass projects on my projects list. The first one is Novelty Glass Company of Fostoria. This glass works only existed for two or three years (1891-1893). I have plenty of information and history, but I do not have a picture of its products. There should be some products on display in the glass museum in Fostoria, Ohio. If would be wonderful if someone could add a picture or two to Wikimedia Commons, and notify me. The Christopher Columbus punch cup or salt shaker is extremely valuable. As info, I also plan to add some history to the Fostoria Glass Company page. TwoScars (talk) 01:36, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
