Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Zambian Constituency and District Articles

Greetings.

I have noticed that every Zambian Parliamentary Constituency has an article on Wikipedia except the ones from Southern Province and Western Province. Could there be a reason that the two provinces have been avoided? A few minutes ago, I created the Sioma (constituency) and Nkeyema articles (both created for the 2016 election),

Also, there were two duplicate articles, namely Nkeyama District and Nkeyema District. I decided to redirect the article with the spelling error (the first one) to the article with the correct name (the latter one). Did I do the right thing here? GeographicAccountant (talk) 02:11, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

I was creating the constituency articles, and was going through the template ({{Zambian constituencies}}) in order; I just hadn't got to the bottom rows yet. Cheers, Number 57 17:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

@Number 57 Cool. Thanks. GeographicAccountant (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Constituency Development Fund

Hi, people.

Notice that there is a "Constituency Development Funds Performance" section on the Livingstone, Zambia article, added by User:Ezyg8. In your opinion, does this information belong on Wikipedia? Chils Kemptonian (talk) 22:33, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

No. I noticed they had added it to a few constituency articles too (which I removed). Cheers, Number 57 22:44, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Good then; I've removed the content from the Livingstone article. GeographicAccountant (talk) 22:22, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Mentioning that people tested positive for COVID-19

Hi. I just want to ask:

Is it "Necessary" to mention that somebody "tested positive for the Corona Virus Disease of 2019"?

Like the way it is written on the Inonge Wina page under the "Personal Life" section.

If I am not wrong, this is the only Zambian whose article has this written. GeographicAccountant (talk) 16:52, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
