South Carolina Women in Red

WikiProject Women in Red wants your biographies

Might I draw your attention to a new redlist of notable South Carolina women who lack a wikipedia biography, in the form of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by dictionary/South Carolina Encyclopedia - drawn from the "South Carolina Encyclopedia". South Carolina: University of South Carolina.

Right now, there are more than five times as many biographies of men as there are of women on wikipedia - see the Wikidata Human Gender Indicators page. I hope this project will lend its support to addressing this imbalance by creating biographies for women within your project's scope, and perhaps by adopting the South Carolina Encyclopedia redlist. More generally, WikiProject Women in Red has more than 300 redlists covering perhaps 100,000 notable women for whom we have no biography. thanks

2022 census estimates

Just alerting everyone as the 2022 census estimates are close to being released (each census page now has a "2022 estimate tab") so help with updating the estimate tallies on pages would be greatly appreciated in the coming months. DiscoA340 (talk) 21:11, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

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.

Discussion at Wikipedia:Content assessment

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 07:02, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Change to State(s) MSAs and CSAs

The 2023 OMB report was released a couple days ago which has realigned and renamed a few micropolitan statistical areas, metropolitan statistical areas, and combined statistical areas in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina, as well as the entire country. The changes can be found on the document appended but also on this edit done to the Metropolitan statistical area page. Thank you and have a great day! DiscoA340 (talk) 17:47, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Fred Symmes Chapel

Hello, I was wanting to bring to yall's attention that I have created a Wikipedia article for Fred W. Symmes Chapel, a location pretty well known in South Carolina. I believe this will be of interest to this wikiproject, and so if anyone wants to pitch in and expand this article, that would be greatly appreciated.
