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   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)
Yup, that's basically what I've done I think. I don't have the knowledge to expand any of the articles really (for now at least!) but I think they look ok at the moment, and it's clear where any expansion should go. Jdcooper (talk) 17:13, 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)

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. I concur with your analysis, and also think "military training area" is the best option. Let's stick with that. - Darwinek (talk) 23:32, 20 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)

Vejvančický (talk / contribs

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:
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

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.

User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to

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

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

The script is mostly based on

Help on Eastern European languages

Hello!

Our of boredom, I am trying to identify the languages of inscriptions on a fountain located in central Budapest. I could easily identify some languages such as Hebrew, Armenian, Russian, English, French, Spanish etc. but I have trouble with some, mostly Slavic, languages which I do not speak myself. I guess that they must include Czech (or Slovak), Slovene, Croatian/Serbian/Bosniak, Macedonian, Bulgarian and/or maybe others.

Translations of 'The place is ours':

  • Trg je naš / Площадьт е наш (pretty sure that's Bulgarian) / Naš trg / Nas trg / [unreadable] naše je námestie

Translations of 'Non potable water':

  • Водата не е за пиене / Voda ni pitna / Непитна вода / Nepitná voda / Nepitka voda / Voda nije za piće

Translations of 'Open lawn':

  • Ходенето по тревата е разрешено / Dozvoljeno je gaziti (ǧaziti?) po travi / Dozvoljeno gaženje trave

I also do not manage to identify the language in 3 other inscriptions for which glossaries easily available online did not help. Could it be Romani?

  • Náj lasó ráji / Ámáro szi o placo / Pécsár saj ustarén

Is anyone here able to tell which is which? Note that many inscriptions (such as in French and Greek) have spelling mistakes and inconsistent respect of diacritics.

The ones in Cyrillic are definitely Bulgarian. "naše je námestie" (very weird syntax) and "nepitná voda" are Slovak. The others are all Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian, haven't the foggiest which are meant to be which. Some of them are slight rewordings of the same phrase, like "trg je naš" means "the square is ours" but "naš trg" just means "our square". – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 18:00, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Requested reassessment: Bohemian Shepherd

Hi all, Ive substantially rewritten Bohemian Shepherd. I'd love to garner some feedback and perhaps get an improved rating.

Thanks--Annwfwn (talk) 19:47, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

It's at least C class. It may well be B-class but I don't feel well equipped to evaluate sourcing or coverage, as required for B-class according to Wikipedia:Content_assessment. (t · c) buidhe 20:02, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Requested move: Czech Republic vs. Czechia at the Eurovision Song Contest

A move discussion of "Czech Republic" -> "Czechia" is currently underway for an article about the country's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. The discussion is within this project's scope, so additional comments would be appreciated. IceWelder [] 16:09, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello!

Please could someone with an interest in Czechia cleanup the new page Electricity sector in the Czech Republic? Thanks. --- Tbf69 P • T 17:29, 21 February 2023 (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.

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)
