WikiProject Industrial design (announcements)
[edit]- NEW! The meaning of all this is that the 'startup' phase of the ID project is finished. The project now switches to its 'mature' phase. I encourage you to put your name in the todo page after one of the remaining tasks. You can also aim to be Coordinator if you so desire. Thank you again and see you around, --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 05:54, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Industrial design and Design portal
[edit]Scope questions
[edit]This text is extracted from here. Please give it a thought as a member of WikiProject ID and put your ideas back there:
The first tagging operation of February 13, 2010 revealed some lingering scope questions that we want to discuss with each member of the project:
- The {{WikiProject_Industrial_design}} tagging gave 530 articles.
- We had previously estimated the number of potential ID articles to be around 1850...
- So the difference is this (those articles that Mr. ZooFari did no do with automated tagging but are part of the Wikipedia Industrial design category hierarchy):
- Category:Automobile designers (455 articles);
- Category:Cycle designers (25 articles);
- Category:Motorcycle designers (25 articles);
- Category:Textile designers (33 articles);
- Category:Computer-aided design (510 articles);
- Category:Furniture (around 1250 articles).
- Note 1: Keep in mind there are overlaps, so numbers do not add up.
- Note 2: I had previously decided to exclude non-furniture categories from the ID project because: by looking at some of the Category:Consumer goods articles, I thought they were not 'a good fit' as a whole, although some of them could be included later on an individual basis. (but that can also be reconsidered by the team)
The question is... What do we do about that?
- We keep that situation 'as is'.
- We ask somebody else to possibly automate all the rest of it.
- We reselect some of those categories for automation (which ones?) and do the rest by hand on an article-by-article basis.
As always each solution has its advantages and inconvenients, both technical and ideological in nature... So, team, what do you think?
