Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh activity and membership

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussions at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active, and interested in contributing to Pittsburgh content or coming to our real life meetups to discuss Wikipedia in general. I see you are listed in Category:WikiProject Pittsburgh members but you have not added yourself to our member listing. If you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and add your to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great. Hopefully in a near future you'll also receive our first newsletter with various information on what we have been doing, and what useful tools are available (note that this newsletter and many other Pittsburgh-related notices will be automated and send only to editors who have added themselves to our members page). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 20:24, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Also, you may want to update your wikiproject members list to your new account name, so that automated messages are not directed at the obsoleted page.

July 2011

News

Featured article contest

This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar.

August 6 backstage pass

Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open!

From our recent uploads:

...see more.

Special requests:

This section includes special requests from the NARA staff:

Archival Recovery Team

The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover.

Ongoing

Today's Document challenge

The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr.

Wikisource

WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors.

New contributions

A list of some recent contributions to the project:

Wikipedia

District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms)

Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies)

Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms)

Wikisource¹

Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii

Tools

Future plans

Major image contribution The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource.	Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Question aboutu Geo Coordinates

Sorry to be a bother but I had a question about geo coordinates I was hoping you might be able to answer. I would like to add a category and parameter to the WikiProject United States banner for needing coordinates. Do you know how to do this or have an example of a project that does this? --Kumioko (talk) 23:37, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

I checked, and there is already one. - Presidentman talk·contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 00:45, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know . found the category the other day. I thought you were busy and kept digging till I found it. Sorry I didn't let you know. I added a parameter to the WPUS banner for |needs-goecoord= and pointed it to that category. I also did this for all of the supported projects although I had to create a lot of the categories because they didn't already exist. --Kumioko (talk) 01:03, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Naoto Kan

I reversed your move of my paragraph about Kan's resignation plans. You moved it into the paragraph before the final one, leaving a July development unrelated directly to the resignation as the final career paragraph. I think maintaining chronological order in a big section for such a significant event is important. Quick-update readers will scan to see if there's anything elaborating on the unfootnoted line in the introduction, way above. I in fact first thought you'd just removed my paragraph, and don't think I'd be alone in concluding July was the final event chronicled, the way you left it. I brought an earlier (Aug. 10) sentence, adding "2011" to it, down to start my (augmented, final) paragraph; and I added a link to the article covering the succession election to complete it. I hope you can concur but would be glad to hear a different rationale. Thanks and cheers. Swliv (talk) 23:10, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

I had just thought that it would make more sense to put your paragraph in with the other paragraph about pressure on Kan to resign, however, I see your reasoning and am inclined to agree. - Presidentman talk·contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 00:52, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Texas A&M >>> SEC

Greetings, Presidentman.

I have just reverted your recent change to the Southeastern Conference, specifically your change to the membership timeline that shows Texas A&M as a current member of the conference. Texas A&M has applied to join the SEC, and the conference has approved its application to join conditionally, subject to the remaining members of the Big XII waiving any potential legal claims against A&M and the SEC. As I am sure you know already, Baylor and two or three other schools have not yet waived such claims and are holding A&M hostage to better leverage Texas and Oklahoma to stay in the Bog XII. Bottom line: A&M is not a current member of the SEC, and the condition of its acceptance as a member has not yet been satisfied. You will note that there is already a section within the article which discusses potential SEC expansion in 2012, including the politics of A&M's possible/probable membership in the SEC. Please do not edit the SEC article to again indicate that A&M is a current member unless and until there are reliable and verifiable sources for current membership that you can include in a footnote per WP:RS and WP:V. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a predictor of future events per WP:CRYSTAL. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:36, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Dear Prez,

Thanks for being the first to contribute to the NRHP photo contest. Perhaps the rules are not as clear as they should be, but I interpret "Photos must be taken and uploaded during the given time period" to mean "taken by you." I'll remove the one in DC and let Eyabe decide about Georgia. And if he disagrees with me, please let me know and I'll reconsider. Thanks for your understanding on this.

Just a note

When you're creating junction/exit lists, if you're using the colored lines generated by the |type= in the templates, you need to be using {{legendRJL}} instead of {{jctbtm}} at the bottom of the table. The reason is that legendRJL has the color key for the meanings behind the colors, that's required by MOS:RJL for junction lists. If the tables don't have any colors, jctbtm is the appropriate template to use. Imzadi 1979 → 01:13, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I stumbled onto your Virtual drives page. You have a licensing problem with all of the Signmaker images on that page. Namely, you don't have permission to release them into the public domain. In fact, the "Legalese" section at SignMaker Central specifically says, and I quote: "SignMaker and TD71 are free for noncommercial use." That isn't exactly compatible with a release into the public domain, since there is the implied restriction that using files from the program for commercial purposes is not permitted. As a second concern, WP:NOTMYSPACE kind of limits what you can do in your user space, and I think the page fails that policy, so you probably should just tag the graphics for deletion on Commons, and tag the pages to be removed.

USRD importance assessments

Not sure if you knew, but in general, here's how USRD articles are assessed for importance:

Top - Usually only the state lists, like "List of US Highways in X State"

High - Interstate, US Highways

Mid - State highways

Low - County highways

NA - anything that doesn't fall into the FA, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, List categories. The banner should do this for us.

Hope this helps! –Fredddie ™ 18:14, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Some writing tips for highway articles

In no particular order:

The word junction isn't a verb; it's a noun. Two roads may intersect at a junction, but they don't junction.
Roads don't have opinions, so they can't agree with each other. The verb concur means agree, so I think you want to say that two roads run concurrently. As a benefit to our readers, link it similar to [[concurrency (road)|runs concurrently]] so they can be click the link to our concurrency article.
If a highway designation has a space in it, like SR 135, you should use a non-breaking space, which is entered using the code  . That way, if the designation falls at the end of a line, the SR can't appear at the end of one line and the 135 is left hanging out alone at the start of the next line. The same thing goes for county roads (CR) and US Highways (US). Do this in prose and the junction list table.
The first time you mention a highway designation of each type, spell out the full name and add the abbreviation in parentheses afterwards so that readers understand that US 23 is an abbreviation for US Route 23. (Yes, I used a non-breaking space to join the word Route to the 23. For the same reasons as my last point.
In dealing with references, we have {{cite map}} for general map citations, which accepts a publisher and a cartography source. The GDOT functional classification maps are published by GDOT using cartography by the Office of Transportation Data. FHWA is a part of USDOT, and might have helped GDOT prepare them, but they didn't create or publish them. Even if they got credit, they aren't two separate things because FHWA is a part of USDOT.
Any time you're copying a title of a work, for a citation or even a mention in the prose, reduce ALLCAPS to Title Case or Sentence Case. FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION MAP - BERRIEN COUNTY, GEORGIA then becomes Functional Classification Map: Berrien County, Georgia.
In the notes column, can you give directional indications for some things? Which terminus is it: the northern, southern, eastern or western? It's not necessary to mention the termini of the subject of the article.
Which end of the concurrency is it? Remember that except for one-way streets, roadways run in both directions, and it's purely arbitrary to write the articles west-to-east or south-to-north. Even on a north–south road like U.S. Route 41 in Michigan, the concurrency with M-28 (Michigan highway) runs east–west. The junction in Harvey, Michigan, would then be the "Eastern end of the M-28 concurrency", and the one in Covington, Michigan, would be the "Western end of the M-28 concurrency".
If you continue writing about highways, it's always helpful to give the reader some idea of what's around the roadway. Are these cities big or small? Does the road pass through forests, farms, desert, river valleys? If you use a reference to the satellite view in Google Maps for the overall highway (like the cites to Google for lengths I've seen you use) then you can add that detail. Look through the USRD FA-, A-. or GA-Class articles for ideas on what makes a good RD section for a roadway article.

I hope that you find these suggestions helpful. If you have questions, let me know. We appreciate efforts to improve the articles for Georgia and other states where we are lacking regular editors. Imzadi 1979 → 01:10, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Something else I thought about after I wrote this, but can you spell out road names? Not all of our readers speak or read English as their first language, so some abbreviations can be confusing. For instance, Dr. is also short for doctor and St. is also used for Saint. In Italian, S. is the abbreviation for saint, which can also cause potential confusion. Yes, we abbreviate highway designations, but we also explicitly define what that abbreviation is in parentheses like I mentioned in my fourth bullet point above. The AP Stylebook only recommends abbreviating street names when giving full addresses, and spelling out the full name when talking about the road in general, which is a good practice.
