Reload (Ministry song)

Per the main page, Reload (Ministry song) is being proposed for deletion. I don't know about charting, but per WP:NSONG, I have to believe there is "subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label. This includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries or reviews." I'll dig into it tomorrow, but I thought I'd toss it out there for others to help. Thanks! --Surv1v4l1st ^{▌Talk|Contribs▌} 04:45, 12 July 2017 (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.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

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   10:58, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

Girls Under Glass AfD and overhaul

Girls Under Glass was nominated for deletion. I've totally overhauled the article, mostly based on the German version.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  01:40, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Streetcleaner by Godflesh up for FAC

Hi, everyone. Streetcleaner (1989) by Godflesh, one of the first industrial metal albums, is currently up for featured article status. Right now there are too few comments, so I would appreciate any and all input. Thanks! CelestialWeevil ^(talk) 15:51, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

Foreskin 500

I am considering adding an article about the 1990s band Foreskin 500. Some details on the group here.

Worth adding or not? Thanks.--Surv1v4l1st ^{▌Talk|Contribs▌} 20:00, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Ah, a blast from my past. While I may personally be fine with seeing this – especially if it were to wrap in some of the related Denver scene artists (e.g. Warlock Pinchers) – the main question is notability and documentation. If you can meet the criteria, go for it. -- t_kiehne (talk) 05:36, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Inactive?

Roll call: anyone else still paying attention to this space? I've been more concerned about pages related to the project than the project itself, but I'm willing to do what it takes to keep the project active within the bounds of my capabilities. -- t_kiehne (talk) 20:00, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Reporting in. I still do some work here.--Surv1v4l1st ^{▌Talk|Contribs▌} 19:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Update - I've found myself in the position of assuming responsibilities for managing the WikiProject, which is fine, but having never run a WikiProject it is fraught with peril and unexpected surprises. Anyone reading this and considering further whacking functionality of the Project, please refrain while I learn the ropes.-- t_kiehne (talk) 17:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
