RFC on whether citing maps and graphs is original research

Please see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#RFC on using maps and charts in Wikipedia articles. Rschen7754 15:14, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

The RFC, now at Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Using maps as sources, has questions related to notability. --Rschen7754 06:11, 30 March 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.

New Wikiproject/task force

Hello, there is a proposal for a potential Australian Transport Wikiproject, which can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Australian Transport. This may take the form of a task force under here. If you are interested or want to provide feedback, please input there. Thank you. JML1148 (talk | contribs) 11:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

AS-28

I've suggested that Russian deep submergence rescue vehicle AS-28 be split to Rescue of AS-28, as the majority of the article is about its rescue, so should exist as an accident article instead of a sub article. For the discussion, please see Talk:Russian deep submergence rescue vehicle AS-28 -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 23:55, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Transport Disaster categories

Hello, WikiProject,

If you look at Category:Empty categories awaiting deletion, you'll see hundreds of Transport Disaster categories have been emptied and will be deleted next week. I don't know if this was done in keeping with your understanding of "transport disaster" so I thought I'd bring it to your attention in case these categories had been emptied "out of process". Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 18:40, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

New Top level article?

I've just created Maritime incident, which apparently was missing... _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 04:00, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

It's always curious to me how we missed some articles like that over the previous two decades. Anything DYKable? {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 16:14, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
