Private Practice season 1

[edit]

Hello again. Sorry for the random message. I hope you are doing well. I wanted to let you know that I am planning on rewriting the Private Practice season 1 article. A couple of years ago, we talked about how it is really more of an article than a list. I just wanted to double-check with you to make sure that it was okay that I was going to rework the article. In one of your edit summaries (here), you said that you considered making this one of your projects so I wanted to check in you so I did not want to over-step or anything like that. Aoba47 (talk) 23:21, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: Feel free to reach out anytime! I'm doing pretty well (minus the COVID), I hope you're well, too! As expected, I've gotten sidetracked with several other projects and I haven't made it back around to that article. That said, I probably won't have the time in the foreseeable future to take it on a solo-project, so feel free to take it on yourself! If you need any help on a specific area I may be able to spend a bit of time on a section or two, just let me know and I'll see what I can do, but I'll let you take the overall lead. TheDoctorWho (talk) 04:14, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! You can always reach out to me anytime as well. I hope that you feel better soon. I had COVID a few years ago and it was pretty rough. Obviously, your health should take priority over anything else. I will definitely let you know if I need any help with anything. I plan on taking my time with this project as I am trying to be better with balancing Wikipedia with other things in my life. I have mostly just been looking through and formatting citations for now. I honestly cannot believe that I forgot to mention the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike in the article as it did have a big impact on the season, but I have been trying to not be as hard on myself. Again, I hope that you feel better soon. Aoba47 (talk) 14:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the double reply. I just wanted to let you know that I decided to not rewrite Private Practice season 1. Even though it seemed like a good idea at the time, I really did not enjoy the process and had many false starts with it. I believe that my primary reason for wanting to revisit it was that I felt a bit ashamed of my work there and I felt more obligated to improve it rather than actually enjoying it (and I am aware that is not a good mindset to have in general). I would not have any issue with Private Practice season 1 being brought through the WP:FLRC process, and I do find the recent discussion on these FLs for television seasons to be interesting. Anyway, apologies again for the long message. Just wanted to explain this since I brought it up to you in the first place. Hope you are feeling better! Aoba47 (talk) 01:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for the late reply. I am feeling much better, thank you. You definitely shouldn't be ashamed of it, it's a very well-written article! I may offer to oversee this one at GA given the way the discussion you mentioned has been going. As for FA, I hope to get it there someday, but it likely won't be in the immediate or even semi-distant future. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:40, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am glad that you are feeling better. That is really the most important thing. There is no need to apologize. Thank you for the kind words. I just get too stuck in my own head about it rather than being proud of my past work. I have citations for the article in my sandbox history so let me know at anytime if that would be helpful. I did not go through Newspapers.com as I did not have access to it at the time, but I do have online sources. No pressure of course as I do not have any plans on working on it either. Just out of curiosity, what are projects are you thinking of working on for the future? Aoba47 (talk) 22:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely understand where you're coming from. I've definitely struggled with the same thing before. Things that I've considered to be good content five years ago seems really crappy compared to the pages I've produced more recently.
As for my my current plans, I'm trying not to do much thinking since it seems like I am already in the middle of so many projects 😅. Those are currently spread across a few areas, but just to name my primary ones that I'm actively working on. Doctor Who specials (2022), Doctor Who series 14, and their related episode articles are both on track to all be good topics. Individually, I'm hoping to also get the nine Line of Duty articles to a GT and have also been meaning to expand Cobra Kai season 6 and get it to GA status. The only thing that I'll admit to thinking about was eventually pursuing FA for either Line of Duty or Tulsa King, but that process is stressful so I'm not quite sure. TheDoctorWho (talk) 03:22, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the response. I would say that I am glad that I am not the only one who has felt this way, but I am sorry that it has happened to you as well. It is a weird feeling for sure. Best of luck with the projects! The FAC process can be quite stressful so I completely understand that. Whenever I do become more active on Wikipedia, I would be more than happy to help out if/when possible. Aoba47 (talk) 17:27, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Christmas Invasion

[edit]

I apologize for my inactivity in regards to improving that article, as I've had a lot hit me irl and what time I've been spending on Wikipedia has been dedicated to clearing up a few things in other WikiProjects I'm associated with. I'm really sorry about the delays; I'll try to get on the article soon. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 04:42, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, I've had a few IRL commitments that have kept me from progressing on the set that I've been working on. Some of these bigger projects take time, that's why I'm glad that there's multiple of us tackling this one. I'm hoping to get a start on Revolution in the next week or so.

WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

[edit]
The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue II — September 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

You like Doctor Who? What's his name then?

Welcome

Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff.

Articles for deletion
Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up.

Notice of Draft Articles
A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV.


There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome.

Doctor Who News
A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith.


A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page.

Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content
There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards.

Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject

Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows:
1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD.
2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit.
3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue.
If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.
