We've got a live oneHello Triddle, This gif is supposed to show the stub detector in action. Use it if you like (and if it works). Fg2 22:09, May 4, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, that picture is great! Triddle 22:16, 4 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

This has been moved to stubsensor#Suggestions; please see the discussion there.

The stub was removed from free nerve ending, apparently because of stubsensor, but it is in fact a stub. Apart from a general definition, and an extremely short description of different kinds of nerve endings (which isn't even complete), this article contains virtually no substance. I'd be very cautious about listing articles for de-stubbing solely based on their lengths. People who participate in the project should be suggested not to de-stub unless they are sure (ie: they actually know something about the topic) the article doesn't deserve a stub template. At the very least, you shouldn't count text in the references (or see also or external links) sections. --jag123 10:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

The article may be incomplete yet not be a stub - I'd suggest that free nerve ending is the former but not the latter.
"Stub" is not intended to be a "list of articles in this topic that need work" template. —Morven 03:21, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
What happens if an article you come across from this page is really a stub? Is the idea to retag all stubs to something else? - ie. cleanup, expand, unreferenced, etc. Or do we leave stub stubs in the open section? EvokeNZ 21:35, 15 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
If the article is really not a stub, the easiest thing to do is just not change anything. If you wish (and it is appropriate), feel free to add any additional tags that you think will help bring more attention to the article. After you have finished with the article and even if no changes are made, please remove it from the open section. Thanks for helping out. :-) Triddle 17:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Finding copyvios

edit

Stubsensor has proven quite useful in finding copyvio cut-and-pasted additions to articles - come across three so far. —Morven 03:21, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Run Stubsensor in reverse?

edit

Is it feasible to generate a list of pages that are not tagged as stubs but should be? This could also identify any false negatives in the stub detection, because they would become false positives. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 12:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

New report

edit

See here. (This edit is just for those who have this page on the watchlist, but not the linked page. Please continue any discussions there.) Thanks! :) Avicennasis @ 08:52, 11 Adar I 5771 / 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Human proteins

edit

Probably worth looking at some of these, for example Sequestosome 1 to refine the stub sensor. If you cut the refs, templates and further reading out it is two short sentences. Rich Farmbrough, 21:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC).Reply

Noted. I'll scrub future lists against Category:Human proteins. :-) Thanks for the heads up. Avicennasis @ 05:29, 13 Sivan 5771 / 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

edit

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject X is live!

edit
 

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

More stub dumps

edit

I think that we may need more dumps, as there is only one left. SikiWtideI (Speak to the backwards police) 15:50, 12 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
