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

• 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

I have nominated

Hello, I've been thinking for a while of an idea for a new and certainly needed WikiProject. The Aromanians/Vlachs, Megleno-Romanians/Meglenites and Istro-Romanians/Ćiribirci are poorly known peoples in the Balkans, the only ones that are Romance-speaking apart of the Romanians. Tagging pages related to these with WikiProject templates can turn problematic, see this talk page for example [1], saturated with 7 different templates. I was thus thinking that giving them their own WikiProject could increase organization on Wikipedia about info on these peoples and increase their representation in the project, perhaps even attracting members of these groups into working at Wikipedia. The project could be split into three task forces for each of the three.

If you're interested, please ping me here or message me on my talk page. Expressing your interest in the existence of such a project is enough, you will not be compromised or pressured into working in a topic area you might lose interest to soon. After (if) I recruit enough support, I will start a formal proposal and ping you there. Regards, Super Ψ Dro 20:56, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

The article

Can someone check that source for the basic details (i.e. that Todor Vojinović existed, took part in the First Serbian Uprising, and was hanged in 1813)? If all that matches I’m going to assume it’s OK and mark it as reviewed. (Also, if possible, provide page numbers / exact quotes and make nice inline refs, but I understand that’s quite a bit harder.)

@TipsyElephant: Sorry for the late reply but looks like @Vanjagenije: has already approved this draft. Cheers Боки ^{Talk page ↔️ Contributions} 05:35, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

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.

Greetings @TipsyElephant:,
I see that article was actually approved so I was wondering if this is all you needed.
Please, advise
Боки ^{Talk page ↔️ Contributions} 23:02, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

@Боки: yup! I see it was accepted shortly after I commented here. I was just hoping to bring attention to one of the older drafts waiting to be reviewed. TipsyElephant (talk) 00:29, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, WikiProject,

I just postponed deleting this stale draft and thought maybe editors here could make use of it, either by improving the draft and submitting it for review or using the content in some other way. Thanks! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 04:26, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

@Liz: - I can certainly edit it after the weekend. My question is, since this article is related to this list of Serbian historians, I am unsure as to what needs to be edited considering this is just a list of Serbian historians. Please, advise. Боки ^{Talk page ↔️ Contributions} 09:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey guys,

Can someone, please, help me with this draft ? I have asked @Greenman: few days ago of what I need to do but I did not receive a clear answer. Can one of you look into this and help me get this resubmitted and approved by English Wikipedia ?

Thanks !

Поздрав. Управо сам се уписао у групу едитора. Имам питање везано за чланак Talk:Great Migrations of the Serbs , који је референциран као власништво групе. Од овог чланка који се бави миграцијама Срба 50 посто укупног текста је у последњем поглављу (Modern analysis) и бави се рационализацијом зашто су Албанци аутохтоно становништво Косова. Без икакве жеље да продубљујем ову тему, од свих регија из којих су се Срби исељавали и још већих регија у које су се селили, овакав садржај у сумирању чланка је више него негативно утицајан на Србију. Све ревизије које направим одмах су ревертоване од стране корисника Saintstephen000 , који није овде на листи, не одговара на коректна питања у Talk секцији, само аутоматски ривертује све промене. При том је човек Американац који пише на свакаве теме потпуно невезане са Србијом и њеном историјом. О чему се овде ради и како ово може да се реши? BbBgSr (talk) 21:05, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

@

WP:OWNERSHIP). What you did is to remove a whole section of text that is referenced to WP:reliable sources just because you don't agree with it. That is not how Wikipedia collaboration works, and of course your edits were reverted. Instead, you should use the talk page to start a discussion and try to reach WP:consensus to improve the page. In the talk page, you should explain why you think the text is problematic. If you think the text is not neutral and one side is favored more, maybe you can provide some reliable sources that represent the different point of views. I see that you started a discussion on the talk page, but you are doing it the wrong way. You are demanding from other editors to explain why the content should be there'. Instead, you should try to explain why it shouldn't be there. Remember, if the longstanding content is properly sourced, the burden is on you to explain why it should be removed. Vanjagenije (talk)

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.

Hi,

There is a debate on the talk page. Do you have Serbian history sources about the events of that period? Turkish user claim 50,000 Hungarian army led by the 14 years old king Matthias of Hungary attacked Tahtalu (I do not know where) deep in Serbia and lost against Mehmed. Hungarian sources does not know at all about this. The Turkish user provided 5 Turkish sources, only 1 out of 5 claim Matthias was there, also all 5 Turkish sources write only 1 sentence about this battle (I do not think this deserve a separate article), which seems is a raiding border conflict story when I read all sources. Hungarian sources say Matthias went to south gathering a big army, stayed at Belgrade but later went home and he did not want provokate any Ottoman attack that is why he did not recapture Golubac.

Hello WikiProject Serbia:

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!
