Pageview stats

After a recent request, I added WikiProject Islands to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at Wikipedia:WikiProject Islands/Popular pages.

The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the toolserver tool. If you have any comments or suggestions, please let me know. Thanks! Mr.Z-man 01:11, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Request for comment on Biographies of living people

Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, nearly all wikiproject topics will be effected.

The two opposing positions which have the most support is:

1. supports the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, User:Jehochman
2. opposes the deletion of unreferenced articles about a living person, except in limited circumstances, User:Collect

Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.

Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.

Artificial Island of Brighton

Please see this article, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Island_of_Brighton,_ON_Canada I think it would be appropriate for the island project. I also note it may also be one of the largest artificial islands in the world. I see in the main artificial island article a claim is made for Flevopolder in the Netherlands with a total land surface of 970 km², as the largest artificial island in the world. I think this is likely incorrect, as the Artificial Island land mass formed by the Murray Canal is likely a bit larger. I will verify.

Proposed deletion of Greenland (island)

The article Greenland (island) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Duplicate article of Greenland, no sources to establish the notability, created by a suspected sockpuppet of Tobias Conradi who has been banned for abusing multiple accounts

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JJ98 (Talk) 05:25, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

FAR

I have nominated Cape Horn for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Arsenikk ^(talk) 17:46, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Stub-type

Shouldn't there be a {{island-stub}} and a Category:Island stubs for islands, and this project? 65.94.45.185 (talk) 07:37, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

List of inhabited islands of Croatia

There is a new weekly section on the main page called "Today's featured list" and I have nominated List of inhabited islands of Croatia to have a spot here. There has been some opposition to the nomination and it looks like the list could become a removal candidate very soon unless the quality of the list is improved. If you are interested in maintaining the list's featured status and seeing a summary of it up on the main page, your help in improving the article would be greatly appreciated.
