New Portal, Drinks

edit

I have created a new portal for the beverage community. While the Beer and Wine projects have their own specialized portals, the rest of the Drink WikiProjects do not have their own portal to call their own.

It is here. Please be warned, it is still a work in progress and is not fully populated.

I would gladly welcome the assistance of the members of this project in getting it up and running.

Also, please check out the new WikiProject Spirits which is for distilled alcoholic beverages such as vodka and whiskey.

Proposed merge

edit
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was done. GTBacchus(talk) 06:59, 27 December 2009 (UTC)Reply


This project appears to be inactive, I am suggesting WikiProject Bartending be merged into WikiProject Food and drink and converted to a taskforce.

--Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 18:23, 4 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Since there appears to be no objection, I'd say just go ahead and do it. Is there any administrative assistance required? -GTBacchus(talk) 01:44, 27 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Since an admin can move up to 100 pages at a time, I would need all of the sub pages (there are a lot) moved as well.--Jeremy (blah blahI did it!) 02:23, 27 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ok, I think I've done it. Please let me know if I missed anything, and I'll go do the Mixed Drinks page now as well. -GTBacchus(talk) 06:46, 27 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

WP 1.0 bot announcement

edit

This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects. Additional information is available at the WP 1.0 project homepage. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Bartending articles have been selected for the Wikipedia 0.8 release

edit

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the Bartending articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

Shortcut BAR

edit

    I started editing before WP:Break all rules existed (at least in that place), and before there was such a thing as a WikiProject, and i eventually stumbled onto Break all rules, probably looking for Ignore all rules. Nevertheless, the other day i keyed BAR where i should have keyed IAR, and went thru several previews without even considering hovering the link and discovering that the accompanying WikiProject even existed; i probably came very close to saving a link, to the important policy, that was even more stupidly erroneous than i could have imagined. While those active in the project may want to instead put on the project's page a HatNote linking to WP:BAR (disambiguation), and restore the old shortcut to it, i commend to you the following argument:

IAR is one of the WP:5P, and the distinction between the phrases "Break all rules" and "Ignore all rules" is so much more subtle than the important distinction between their corresponding pages' contents that it may be important to make as short (and thus as little distracting) as possible the route from the error of calling IAR "BAR" to reaching the clarifying Dab page.

    While i'm sure you-all can better evaluate than i the alternatives to BAR as your shortcut, i have no doubt that you can come up with something else quite workable; WP:BT may work well. (I cannot imagine what the logic behind its current target is!)

    In closing no-longer-needed browser windows after completing the group of edits that included the above, i noticed an edit summary from the first 7 months after the creation of "the other BAR", evidencing concern over an error similar to those i made.
--Jerzyt 21:07, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
"BT" stands for "Basic Topics" (as in WP:Lists of basic topics), which was the original target of the shortcut before the page got moved to Portal:Contents/Outlines. -- œ 01:09, 23 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I was rather surprised to find that WP:BAR now goes to a disambiguation page, but once I saw the other pages listed on it, I immediately saw the value in doing so. I have changed the old WP:BART to point to this Task Force instead of the talk page of this WikiProject. I think that WT:BAR or WT:BART might work to replace that. Either way, being the person who created the shortcut, I don't mind at all. Thanks for looking beyond my narrow focus. :-) —Willscrlt “Talk” ) 02:13, 7 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikibooks:WikiProject Bartending updates

edit

This is a note to let you know that the Wikibooks:WikiProject Bartending, a direct sibling of this group (and actually the founding group) still exists.

Please take a look at the new structure for the List of cocktails in the Wikibooks Bartending Guide. That page used to be just a dumping ground for cocktail recipes from en.wiki. It's starting to turn into a viable resource on its own. I would really like some help converting the rest of the free-form cocktail entries that fill that page into something more attractive and orderly.

I'd also like your help (I don't have time to do it myself) in making sure that all of the cocktails here on Wikipedia are copied into the Wikibooks list, and then correctly linked back to the Wikipedia articles. This is very helpful, especially if an article is deleted here. At least we have the basic information still on Wikibooks. And, truthfully, many of the cocktails here are not noteworthy enough to warrant their own article. The Bartending Guide is a much better place for those anyway.

And, if the simple list of cocktails is not detailed enough, but the cocktail is not noteworthy enough to qualify for an encyclopedia article, it can be moved to its own page on Wikibooks and make everyone happy. But, it's primarily up to members of this task force to make that happen. Otherwise, things just get deleted. Sometimes over and over again.

Thanks in advance for your help. Please contact me if you have questions or would like some more direction as to how and where to start. —Willscrlt “Talk” ) 02:19, 7 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

edit

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
