expanded?

Is there any policy on articles that have been expanded from sub-stub status, as opposed to articles that are simply new?--McTrixie 22:53, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't really thought about it, though a similar policy as DYK - aka stub to full fledged article with multiple sections might be in order. It would be a bit silly to list those which have been expanded just enough to remove the stub tag, in my opinion. You are welcome to set precedent. - Banyan Tree

In reference, I wrote some articles on Russia and posted the new articles at Portal:Russia/New article announcements; they use a mix of new articles and significantly expanded articles. Not sure what that has to do with this notice board. --McTrixie 23:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about setting precedent; I only first saw this page a few days ago; maybe someone who has worked here for a while could give it some thought. I will give it some thought, too. When I write a major expansion from sub stub, or when I remove a stub tag, I will use the tilde for the time being. --McTrixie 23:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... there really is no precedent as this is a brand new page, based off of Wikipedia:New articles (New Zealand). The Russian version seems a lot more chatty, which is one option that could be implemented at this early stage before people get too invested. I'm happy with whatever people are, uh, happy with.

I'll play it by ear. Nice Black Book article. --McTrixie 10:10, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

archiving

We should probably come up with a method of archiving - by year, by half-year, whenever someone feels it is too long, etc. What do you think? - Banyan Tree 16:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By year; al least, this is what we use at WP:GREECE. Maybe we should also consider dividing by subregions.--Aldux 16:30, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By subregion as well as by page type, or instead of? I can't figure out what is going on with the new WikiProject proposals, but subregion pages would be best put on subregion WikiProjects, and maybe transcluded here.- Banyan Tree 18:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you're right. It's only that I've a feeling that all Africa is so wide a scope that we have big difficulties on sifting through all the new articles (and I have a suspect we list only a fraction of them).--Aldux 19:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Aldux, you're right about this page not having them all - I only learned of this page yesterday, so I can guarantee that there are dozens of Nigeria stubs that haven't been listed. I'll try to list all Africa articles I create here from now on, but I'd say its as likely to happen as me remembering to list afd nominations on the correct page!

Sets of Categories

In the case of the categories of the states of Nigeria or Sudan, etc, and in the interest of having a manageable list, it may be preferable to write a note in the list to the effect that "Individual categories of the states of Nigeria" is completed instead of providing a listing of each state's category. There are 37 state categories in Nigeria which are almost done, and 26 states in Sudan which are ready to be given categories, and so on. --McTrixie/Mr Accountable 22:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Each state in Nigeria now has a category, so if the listing scheme is acceptable, the line "Categories of the states of Nigeria" may be placed in the list, dated 2 March 2007, and the 30 or so individual state categories presently in the list may be edited out. --McTrixie/Mr Accountable 04:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:AlexNewArtBot - New Article Bot

Hi, I am in the trial runs of the User:AlexNewArtBot (see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests_for_approval/AlexNewArtBot). The bot reads all the new articles for a day and puts suspected Africa-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/AfricaSearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant. Or whatever you want to do with them.

The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/Africa, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/AfricaLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log). Please contact me if you are interested in the fine tuning of the rules

That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. Alex Bakharev 11:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oooh, neat! - Banyan Tree 13:12, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gasp* I'm impressed! Alex, when I think of all the time I lost in various wikiprojects, I understand we will never be able to thank you enough.--Aldux 14:08, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BT and the others, we should try to estabilish a uniform standard; shall we remove hour and first user name, as we usually do? Also, some of these are hoaxs or microstubs vowed for merge or deletion; shall we put them also in the list for the moment? Or immediately send them to VfD?--Aldux 14:15, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sticking with the standard when moving articles out of the subpage sounds good. I actually don't mind when user names are included. The issue will be keeping up with the bot.

I noticed a couple of substubs in a walled garden and just merged and redirected/deleted. Some of these definitely fall under WP:CSD A1. I wouldn't bother formatting entries that are clearly going to be merged or deleted. This is certainly going to be a neat way to catch new Africa editors, as well as articles requiring a deletion process. Tangentially, I haven't seen anyone say VFD, rather than AFD or XFD, in forever. Total blast from the past! - Banyan Tree 17:09, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
