Mru

Hello. The disambiguation page Mru has several incoming links, mostly via redirects Mro people and Mro People. If anyone can work out whether each article refers to the Awa Khami or the Mrucha, and fix the links, that would be appreciated. Thanks, Certes (talk) 17:21, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

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)

W.H. Jackson

I just wrote William Henry Jackson (priest); if anyone can provide a picture of his memorial in Yangon Cathedral, I'd be grateful. Can we find details of his compositions and recordings? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:52, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Andy @Talk to Andy, I enjoyed reading this article and hope someone will translate it into Burmese. Unfortunately, I won't be able to take the requested picture in the near future. But next time I will be in Yangon, I will try to take this picture and add it to your article. Cheers from Myanmar, Munfarid1 (talk) 04:27, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Khin Thiri Thet Mon article help?

An article on Khin Thiri Thet Mon, daughter of Min Aung Hlaing, was started, and it was disputed whether she is notable enough. An AFD was opened then closed, and there may be a new AFD soon. Attention of Myanmar editors towards developing the article, or commenting, would be appreciated. Does anyone have access to biographical info about her? --Doncram (talk) 23:09, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Things to watch

See Myanmar protest talk.

This is a continuation.

A previous attempt to discuss this got slapped under not forum on talk . As this was a mobile edit, I also missed the header or note that said partof civil and ethnic conflict crisis in ..., or something like that.

While this may well be determined in a possible discussion, which is not to be preempted, what might trigger the discussion of whether we have crossed into a civil war?

And what might it mean for the content here? Or the procedures for considering this? Bokoharamwatch (talk) 18:36, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol

New Page Patrol needs experienced volunteers

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles, including Myanmar related articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions and review our instructions page. You can apply for the user-right HERE. --John B123 (talk) 14:44, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Will someone please look at this article? It has been rewritten in the past six weeks. Is the reworking an improvement, or is this an attempt to make the article into a puff piece? Robert McClenon (talk) 06:15, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
