List of Uzbek films of 2014

Hi, I'm listing all films by their country of origin, mostly using IMDb as my guide, for the year 2014, without attention to whether they are publicly or privately produced. The ultimate intention is to try to create as universally complete lists as possible. IMDb only lists six films for Uzbekistan, so I have only included them. If you can help, that'd be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willowandglass (talkcontribs)

@Willowandglass: Okay cool! I have changed it to say, "made in Uzbekistan" rather than "made by Uzbekistan" to clarify this in the article. Good luck with the project! Winner 42 Talk to me! 03:27, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Archaeology of Palestine/Archaeology of Syria

I undid the redirect at Archaeology of Palestine as there are currently no articles for Archaeology of Palestine or Archaeology of Syria. Both of those were previously covered under "Syro-Palestinian archaeology" which is an anachronistic term for Levantine Archaeology. Now that the Syro-Palestinian archaeology article has been moved to Levantine Archaeology, I feel there should be articles for Archaeology of Palestine and Archaeology of Syria.

@Drsmoo: Ah ok, that makes sense, feel free to go ahead then, thanks. Winner 42 Talk to me! 17:06, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Dear Winner, we have exhaustively shown notability. In fact by now the model has been updated. This is because cybersecurity is new and dynamic. Please let me explain, if need be. I would appreciate it if you could publish this Wikipedia now. Regards, Sean. Sean p connors (talk) 19:30, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I see nothing that would demonstrate notability since it was deleted at AfD despite being declined as a draft. Winner 42 Talk to me! 19:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

That paragraph on Japanese popular culture was made just so someone could host a screenshot of their Monster Strike team full of super rare monsters. It was only written for that purpose and it's not even written well compared to the rest of the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:140:8200:DE:9C34:B30B:3FA0:4D5E (talk) 02:36, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 6

 
Newsletter • January 2016

Hello there! Happy to be writing this newsletter once more. This month:

What comes next

Some good news: the Wikimedia Foundation has renewed WikiProject X. This means we can continue focusing on making WikiProjects better.

During our first round of work, we created a prototype WikiProject based on two ideas: (1) WikiProjects should clearly present things for people to do, and (2) The content of WikiProjects should be automated as much as possible. We launched pilots, and for the most part it works. But this approach will not work for the long term. While it makes certain aspects of running a WikiProject easier, it makes the maintenance aspects harder.

We are working on a major overhaul that will address these issues. New features will include:

  • Creating WikiProjects by simply filling out a form, choosing which reports you want to generate for your project. This will work with existing bots in addition to the Reports Bot reports. (Of course, you can also have sections curated by humans.)
  • One-click button to join a WikiProject, with optional notifications.
  • Be able to define your WikiProject's scope within the WikiProject itself by listing relevant pages and categories, eliminating the need to tag every talk page with a banner. (You will still be allowed to do that, of course. It just won't be required.)

The end goal is a collaboration tool that can be used by WikiProjects but also by any edit-a-thon or group of people that want to coordinate on improving articles. Though implemented as an extension, the underlying content will be wikitext, meaning that you can continue to use categories, templates, and other features as you normally would.

This will take a lot of work, and we are just getting started. What would you like to see? I invite you to discuss on our talk page.


Until next time,

2016 GA Cup

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016 GA Cup
 

Greetings, all!

We would like to announce the start of the 3rd GA Cup, a competition that seeks to encourage the reviewing of Good article nominations! Thus far, there have been two GA Cups; both were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 500 nominations listed and about 450 articles waiting to be reviewed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time.

The 3rd GA Cup will begin on March 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on July 31, 2016), but this may change based on participant numbers. There will be slight changes to the scoring system, based upon feedback we've received in the months since GA Cup #2. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same. We're also looking to spice up the competition a bit by running parallel competitions. Finally, there's a possibility of assisting a WikiProject Good Articles backlog drive in the last three weeks of February, before our competition. Please stay tuned for more information as we get it.

Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on February 20, 2015. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now!

If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges.

Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar and MrWooHoo.

To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

WikiProject X Newsletter • Issue 7

 
Newsletter • February 2016

This month:

One database for Wikipedia requests

Development of the extension for setting up WikiProjects, as described in the last issue of this newsletter, is currently underway. No terribly exciting news on this front.

In the meantime, we are working on a prototype for a new service we hope to announce soon. The problem: there are requests scattered all across Wikipedia, including requests for new articles and requests for improvements to existing articles. We Wikipedians are very good at coming up with lists of things to do. But once we write these lists, where do they end up? How can we make them useful for all editors—even those who do not browse the missing articles lists, or the particular WikiProjects that have lists?

Introducing Wikipedia Requests, a new tool to centralize the various lists of requests around Wikipedia. Requests will be tagged by category and WikiProject, making it easier to find requests based on what your interests are. Accompanying this service will be a bot that will let you generate reports from this database on any wiki page, including WikiProjects. This means that once a request is filed centrally, it can syndicated all throughout Wikipedia, and once it is fulfilled, it will be marked as "complete" throughout Wikipedia. The idea for this service came about when I saw that it was easy to put together to-do lists based on database queries, but it was harder to do this for human-generated requests when those requests are scattered throughout the wiki, siloed throughout several pages. This should especially be useful for WikiProjects that have overlapping interests.

The newsletter this month is fairly brief; not a lot of news, just checking in to say that we are hard at work and hope to have more for you soon.

Until next time,
