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.

Hello, too!

Would anyone be interested in polishing up Draft:Illusion Art Museum Prague? I think it would be a nice addition if the article got a little more attention from someone who knows about museums in Prague. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 21:19, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Czech Republic:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

"WikiProject Czechia"?

Is there a consensus on whether this WP should be renamed? -Bogger (talk) 11:32, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The name of the project is in accordance with the name of the page Czech Republic. FromCzech (talk) 11:40, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I believe categories that say "Czech Republic" should only cover 1993 on

I believe categories that explicitly say "Czech Republic" should only include things from 1993 on. This I think especially applies to categories by place,like establishments in the Czech Rwpublic and deaths in the Czech Republic. By not abiding by this rule, some editors are pushing to have people who died in say 1935 in both Tuberculosis deaths in the Czech Republic and Tuberculosis deaths in Czecoslovakia. I think this just leads to Category clutter. Now CEch people and it's sub-categories can have larger scopes. However I think we need to keep in mind that many residents of areas now in the Czech Republic when it was part of the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary did not view themselves as Czech. In fact up until 1945 at least in the Sudentenland you had a large population that identified as German, not Czech. Further back you have more such people also in Prague. Once Bohemia become part of the Habsburg Lands, But especially in the Austrian Empire and Austria-Hungary you have lots of people move around the Empire, so residence is not a hood proxy for ethnicity, and with a de facto unified Empire, there is no local nationality to consider. We should not assume those who are from Bohemia were Czech, we need other evidence to show this. However since deaths are by place and not by nationality, and say "Czech Republic", I think using the term pre-1993 is not needed, especially since the 75 years of Czechoslovakia exceeds the 30 of the Czech Republic. Also any case of cause of death that we do not have enough cases for in a particular country we can place in the direct cause of death Category. Personally I think we have been far too quick to subdivide cause of death categories by place without showing good reason why. We might want yo Aldo ask should deaths be subdivided by place of by nationality. Do we care where a person died, or for we care what their nationality was when they died?John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:05, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and I recategorized 4 pages and 1 category in Category:1991 establishments in the Czech Republic, but the way you put this across, it is a wider issue. Can you give some concrete examples of categories in which you think articles are misplaced? C679 14:30, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is an issue with the main Czech Republic article, with some editors arguing that its scope goes before 1993. (as opposed to history information being briefly covered as background) (t · c) buidhe 15:24, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Translation question

I'm working on Czech railway topics and encountered cz:České Budějovice jižní zastávka. This is a minor railway halt in České Budějovice. The literal translation of this name would be České Budějovice south stop or České Budějovice south station. My question is this: is "jižní zastávka" a proper name/proper noun, or is this more of a descriptive name. Should I render this in English as České Budějovice south railway station (following naming conventions for stations). Thank you in advance for any insight. Mackensen (talk) 22:07, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely do not translate, see e.g. Praha hlavní nádraží, Praha Masarykovo nádraží. Btw. I'm surprised that there would be enough reliable sources for a separate page for a stop where there isn't even a building, just a shelter. Other wikipedias only cite the database of stops.

Thanks! I'm not planning to write an article about it, but I do need to red link it. Mackensen (talk) 13:00, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
