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.
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
Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:34, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
Historical eras of the country and article titles
Hi, I have recently been editing Romani people in the Czech Republic, which covers partly the history of Romani people in the area generally, but also WWII, the Communist era, and modern Czech Rep. Obviously for the vast majority of this time the Czech Republic didn't exist. There is also an article about Romani people in Czechoslovakia, which covers just the First Republic and Communist Era (no mention of WWII). There is substantial overlap between these two articles, in fact almost the whole text of the Czechoslovakia one is contained within the Czech Rep article. In theory there is clearly enough to write about to write full and separate articles about Romani in modern day CzRep and historically in the region, but both the articles are currently kind of short, so I think it makes sense to present all the information in one article. But what should that article be called? If the article incorporates info about modern day Czech Rep I feel the article shouldn't be just Czechoslovakia, cos that's inaccurate, but it shouldn't be just Czech Rep either because that ignores Slovakia. Or is it better to split the information entirely into pre-dissolution and post-dissolution? I'm sure this isn't the first time this issue has come up, so could someone point me in the direction of previous discussions on this matter which arrived at some consensus? Or share your thoughts on this specific case? Many thanks Jdcooper (talk) 12:20, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Jdcooper:. I would say the best solution would be to develop & improve the article Romani people in Czechoslovakia, including also the period of World War II. Roma people in Czechoslovakia inhabited both now-sovereign countries, so it would be better to keep the information in one article, rather than copy pasting the same info into the Romani people in the Czech Republic and Romani people in Slovakia articles. Once done, I think a short link or mention to the Romani people in Czechoslovakia article from the Romani people in the Czech Republic and Romani people in Slovakia articles would do the trick. -- Darwinek (talk) 17:02, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Bandy, Floorbal, Street hockey
Hi, I am wondering why there is, on page Sport in the Czech Republic, a special paragraph about Bandy while there is not about Floorball or Street hockey? Floorbal and Street hockey are both very famous sports in Czech Republic. In both sports the Czech Republic occupies top ranks (3rd and 4th) worldwide. Yet no paragraph is written about theese sports. On the other side Bandy is unknown sport in Czech Republic. I guess most of the people in Czech Republic never heard of Bandy.
Jala38 (talk) 19:24, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
- I absolutely concur. No one in the Czech Republic ever heard of bandy, with the exception of bandy players themselves. Feel free to fix the Sport in the Czech Republic article. - Darwinek (talk) 23:45, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Question on correct article naming
Hi everyone. I've been thinking for some time if there would be any difference in English translation of vojenský prostor and vojenský újezd. After some initial research, my feeling is they both would be translated as military training area (we have already Boletice Military Training Area on enwiki), even though both vojenský prostor and vojenský újezd are slightly different things. We can even think of vojenský újezd as a type of municipal subdivision - after all the újezdy (all 4 of them in the ČR) are included in district navboxes on Czech Wikipedia as well. Can someone give an opinion / advice on this? Pinging @Filelakeshoe:. Thanks. - Darwinek (talk) 22:03, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- As I understand this "vojenský újezd" describes the administrative unit and "vojenský prostor" describes what the place is used for. The only thing that comes to mind is translating újezd as "district" rather than "area", which I feel ever so slightly better captures that, though it's not really very idiomatic. It's a good question, I have forwarded it to a group of translators, will have a better answer soon I'm sure. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 22:19, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. Please let me know when you will hear back from the translators. - Darwinek (talk) 22:45, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- A few people suggested "military district" for vojenský újezd, which I dislike for the reason below. Another suggestion was military exclusion zone which I am not sure I agree with, as to me that rather suggests a temporary zone established during a war. Someone else suggested "proving ground" which per our article is just American English for "military training area". The idea I find myself agreeing with is that both should just be translated as "military training area" (or "proving ground", but let's stick with BrE as we already have one article.) That military training areas form municipal subdivisions administered by the army would just have to be explained in text. I doubt we would ever need separate articles for the "prostor" and "újezd" anyway. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 22:14, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the answer. Please let me know when you will hear back from the translators. - Darwinek (talk) 22:45, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
- Just realised, this is a terrible idea as military district has another meaning. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 22:29, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
Koželuh
I noticed the composer Leopold Koželuh has his article here under a modified surname as Leopold Koželuch. I see some of the English-language sources really mention his surname as "Koželuch". Shouldn't we move this article to "Leopold Koželuh" in line with Czech wiki? Please note his cousin Jan Antonín Koželuh has his surname correctly written here. - Darwinek (talk) 20:30, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
- Hmm, ) 06:09, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- As far as I know Czech classical-era composers, before the national revival, were often referred to by "German" names, and since German has no way of writing the sound ž, "Koželuch" is as good as the German fans could do.
- Looking up the rest of the composers in my copy of "české sonatiny", our articles seem to generally prefer the Czech names, as in:
- František Xaver Dušek
- Josef Mysliveček
- Jan Václav Voříšek
- Jan Ladislav Dussek (the last name should be Dušík, I guess it is an archaic spelling)
- but the following are German:
- If English sources use the German names more often there's not going to be much of a case for renaming them. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 06:54, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
- I note however that even de.wiki uses "Koželuh". I guess a case could be made as per 07:07, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Improving this Wikiproject
There are 93 "active" members of this Wikiproject. The way I see it, we need to filter the member list and split it into categories by their activity on Wikipedia. Then – if there is enough members left in the "actually active" category – we can broadly categorize them according to their areas of interest. Most wikipedians want to contribute only to the topics they find interesting. That would enable us to directly contact each other and ask for help/second opinion. Martin J.
