China

Is the China-topics group dead? I am wanting to help with Chinese history, language, philosophy, literature. I also have good general knowledge of East Asia culture and history. Can someone help me get started? I tried posting on the China stuff but it seems dead D: --Shadowy Sorcerer (talk) 01:27, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

WikiWomen's History Month

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:East Asia will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in East Asia's history, society and culture. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 21:26, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Korean influence on Japanese culture?

There's quite a large article, Korean influence on Japanese culture, which might not get a lot of eyes from editors with diverse East Asian interests, because it is simply linked from Korean articles. It seems very close to an article we once had, Korean cultural claims (which apparently documented the well-known Korean claims to be the originator of civilization of all of East Asia), except that it treats the claims in a credulous way. A lot of the supposed "Korean" influence, for example, was really Korean transmission of Chinese knowledge to Japan, which is why our articles on premodern Japan emphasize China as the primary foreign influence, not Korea. Any thoughts on how to go forward - AfD, re-scoping, neutralization? Shrigley (talk) 14:26, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

"Draft" rating

I suggest that this wikiproject implement the new "Draft"-class and categorize into Category: Draft-Class WikiProject East Asia articles‎, for pages in the WP:Drafts namespace that was recently initiated. This would allow tracking of articles related to this wikiproject that are in draft form, which members of this wikiproject may wish to improve and move into the mainspace. -- 76.65.128.112 (talk) 23:40, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I personally don't see the point. We don't categorize userspace drafts, why should draft pages in the new namespace be treated any differently. If it's not ready to be shown to the general public, there's no reason to for a WikiProject to pay attention to it. Sven Manguard Wha? 03:26, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

While userspacedrafts are personal pages, the new draft space is supposed to be a joint collaboration area. The advantage in categorizing them for the project is for people who come here to find topics they might be interested in, that someone else has already started working on, for which they might also have wanted to start an article on. As it isn't ready for public consumption, we can also choose to move unready articles out of mainspace and into drafts until they are more ready. Having a tagged draft also allows us to merge information found in a draft to a different article found in mainspace, should duplication occur, and we'd have an area to check for such duplication, as they've been tagged. -- 76.65.128.112 (talk) 07:05, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Ryūkyū

Hello, last week I started editing and adding Wikipedia articles related to the Ryūkyū Islands, the Ryūkyū Kingdom, and Okinawa Prefecture, and I noticed many red links, stubs, and needed improvement in general. I also noticed this on Japanese Wikipedia. So I started to compile a To Do List and created WikiProject Ryūkyū. Because I was on my own and comepletely inexperienced, it was deleted and turned into a redirect for WikiProject Japan. I started a discussion on their talk page, and they proposed that I should ask for help from WikiProject East Asia. I want to form a WikiProject that covers anything having to do with the Ryūkyū archipelago to better organize and improve related articles. I would really appreciate any help I can get. ミーラー強斗武 (talk) 19:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Leaflet for Wikiproject East Asia at Wikimania 2014

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

What? Wiki Loves Pride, a campaign to document and photograph LGBT culture and history, including pride events
When? June 2015
How can you help?
1.) Create or improve LGBT-related articles and showcase the results of your work here

3.) Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Or, view or update the current list of Tasks. This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Visit the group's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome!

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's main talk page.

Thanks, and happy editing!

Guidance for a Draft Article: Gobi Corporation

Hi there! I am a Wikipedia beginner. Visited Mongolia a few times for business and leisure and got excited with the Mongolian culture and way of life. I started thinking how I could contribute to the Mongolian culture on Wikipedia and was reading the Wikipedia article on the Economy of Mongolia [[2]]. I noticed a mention of the Gobi Cashmere Company as being a major subject of the Mongolian Economy but found not such article on the Wikipedia. I decided this is a great way subject to cover and start my Wikipedia contribution. So I created this Draft article. As you will see I was first advised to add more links and citations, which I did, although I might still miss the standards of correct formatting Wikipedia articles. Then after I re-submitted the article draft, it was nominated for Speedy deletion without any discussion and shortly after deleted. So I decided to address the WikiProject East Asia in search of support to this article: Do you believe this is an important subject to cover and link it to the Economy of Mongolia? If you do so, can we collaborate so that I will edit the article (guidance appreciated) and the article will ultimately be published? Yudmik (talk) 11:33, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you. — The Transhumanist 10:55, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject East Asia:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
