New articles and DYKs

Hi Elekhh - and all the best for 2014. Since the beginning of the year, the updates to the New Articles list and the DYK list have not been displayed on the WP Architecture page. Something must have gone wrong with the mechanics. I'm sure you'll be able to fix it.--Ipigott (talk) 08:06, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ipigott and Happy New Year! When I checked it today there were some January items displayed but not all. There seems to be an unusual delay at the moment with the updating of page transclusions. This is a server issue, and I experienced it also on other pages. The local fix is to request a page purge either by pressing this link (did it for now and works nicely) or if the problem persists could add a Purge button into the bulletin with Template:Purge. --ELEKHH^T 22:31, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you too. Everything seems to be working fine again today, without any artificial purging. Maybe the servers have started to catch up. Particularly in the case of DYKs, I think it is important to be able to see the most recent ones. And while I'm here, I was wondering whether we should not have a drive on the Top importance stubs, in particular Contemporary architecture, French Renaissance architecture and House-building. There are also quite a few in the High importance category that deserve attention although many seem to be over-rated. Perhaps the most important should be listed as articles needing attention? The automatically generated lists there at the moment are rather overpowering.--Ipigott (talk) 09:57, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. There has been a 'renaissance' of editing at architecture so maybe is the time of the year more editors might join in. Agree that article importance ratings are problematic as we do not have a detailed criteria, and there is a general tendency for editors to self-rate their articles as high-importance. So importance rating is also something to be improved. Of the three stubs you're suggesting the contemporary architecture has the highest number of views. A fourth list to consider is Wikipedia:WikiProject Architecture/Popular pages. Another idea I had is for a GA drive. There are quite a few articles you worked on that are very close to GA quality (Utzon, Bagsværd Church, etc.), but I am time poor at the moment. --ELEKHH^T 06:48, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Rohault de Fleury

Good catch. I don't know why I didn't spot that half the sources for Charles Rohaut de Fleury spelled it Rohault de Fleury. I just went ahead and merged the two articles - obviously the same person, and Rohault de Fleury is obviously much the more common spelling. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I was just... how I say this...--AldNon^Ucallin?☎ 22:32, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you just want to nominated it at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates. --ELEKHH^T 22:37, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's already there, yes thousand people being evacuated right now, I think I will focus on the article rather than there (sand everywhere I was excited for a while sorry for my childish behavior).--AldNon^Ucallin?☎ 22:46, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the tag, hopefully that will deter from further vandalism as it's a clear acknowledgement of their opinions. Also it's good to see another Nick Cave fan on Wikipedia, such an amazing man --Drowninginlimbo (talk) 13:38, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Leaflet For Wikiproject Architecture At Wikimania 2014

Hi Elekhh.

Thanks for submitting a leaflet. However, there are some changes that I would like you to make.

We're doing our best to make these leaflets intelligible to non-wikipedians, and we think your leaflet could be confusing for them; try and include a clearer "call to action" - what are some specific ways they could get involved? We think Wikiproject Military History is a good example to follow.

Adikhajuria (talk) 11:19, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adikhajuria, and thanks for your message. My aim was to create a first draft in the hope that others will improve it. Hence I invited WikiProject members to contribute, but there seems to be no volunteers. I am not interested in doing this all alone, so if you think is below standard please remove it, or feel free to improve it. I am also slightly puzzled by your link as I don't see much difference to the WPMH leaflet. --ELEKHH^T 12:13, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
