message: There is a discussion at Template talk:Infobox book#Proposal to deprecate "country" in favor of "location" that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. Οἶδα (talk) 10:42, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal to deprecate the country parameter of {{Tl|Infobox book}} 

message: HI,
We are working on electronic literature . This is listed as low importance for literature, and I wondered why?
Electronic literature uses games, images, sound, etc. as an integral part of the literary experience. With the advent of new technology, AI, VR, etc., electronic literature is an essential part of literature creation...
I am a newbie editor, so I greatly appreciate your help! Thanks!LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 16:58, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Electronic 

message: Wondering if there is a standard for including works in progress, particularly under a Selected Works heading? Would the standard be to only include published works with ISBN numbers, or would a wiki editor include works in progress that may have been announced already in reliable press?
This is in regards to a writer / translator page I created here - Max Lawton. Thank you in advance!

replies: text: If you have a source to cite for it, I think you could include a sentence like “A translation of X was announced in 2024, to be published by Y publisher.” If it’s just something the author has mentioned working on in interviews, I think that’s too speculative to include. I don’t think it’s super important to include forthcoming works since there’s nothing to say about them except the announcement, but if there’s sourcing I also don’t see the harm in including it. Just my take. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 06:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

I am considering starting a Phases and Proverbs Wikiproject, but I want to make sure that it isn't within the scope of this WikiProject but often missed.

message: Hello! I'm currently working on the stub for literary fragments. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an infobox I could use? Since the literary fragment refers to both historical artefacts (such as the fragments of Sappho) and also refers a literary style or form, I'm unsure of what infobox to use or edit. I'm new at this and appreciate any advice! Alsonamedbort15 (talk) 11:23, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Inholland University of Applied Sciences

message: I translated the section on the quality of education at Inholland from the Dutch language site. The reason is that wiki pages on educational institutions (universities, colleges, etc) are for better or worse among the hits in search engines. To create a level playing field, any positive or negative news on an institutions should be fully disclosed by to all students. 
Of course everyone has strong incentives to keep quiet about negative news. However, educational institutions, especially those based in the European Union, even more so because of the tuition fee structure. Students from its own country and EU countries are charged tuition fees up to a maximum set by the national government, supplemented by government grants. As tuition fees limits for non-EU students are much higher, institutions may try to attract non-EU students and charge high fees to cross-subsidize EU students. 
For that reason institutions will try to segments the markets. Typically they already have a well-established good or bad reputation in their own countries, so the national-language website will just state some facts, without much boasting (for example, students in EU countries do not tend to care too much about ranking, because they already have a preconceived idea of the institutions they are going to based on stories from other students). Typically these institutions do not yet have a reputation abroad, so they use their own website and wikipedia to create an brand new online image (for example, by boasting about rankings). This by itself is not bad. However, they must make sure that key information is consistent across the versions.

Talk:Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences

message: At the moment there is a redirect from Rotterdam University to Erasmus University.
I think this is not correct, since the english name of Hogeschool Rotterdam is  University Rotterdam  
I suggest to bring up a disambiguation page to link to both universities instead of a redirect to Erasmus university.
See the usage of the term "Rotterdam University" on the english pages of the Hogeschool Rotterdam.
http://www.hogeschool-rotterdam.nl/eCache/DEF/1/23/787.html
" Rotterdam University is the result of a merger between 19 institutions for higher professional education in 1988. In 2002 another merger took place between Rotterdam University and HES Rotterdam, an international business school. Rotterdam University is located at several sites:
    * Academieplein
    * Achterom, Dordrecht
    * Blaak
    * Kralingse Zoom
    * Lloydstraat
    * Museumpark
    * Pieter de Hoochweg
    * Wijnhaven
    * Wijnhaven 107 "
I will put the same comment on the talk page of Hogeschool Rotterdam and will ask for assistance to create the proper diambiguation page, since I do not want to mess up the pages.

Talk:List of shipwrecks in 1939

message: A brief search of the web throws up some confusion as to exactly when the Alba foundered.  For example, 'Tate Online' (http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=21044&tabview=text) seems uncertain as to whether it was 1938 or 1939.  There is even a typo (presumably it's a typo) referring to 1928.  I'm going to suggest that they correct that.
However, 'When The Boat Goes Out' (http://www.spooky1.com/maritime/alba.htm) says it was 1938.  This page includes a photograph of the memorial stone in Barnoon Cemetery that unequivocally shows the date of the wreck as 31st January 1938.
So, this entry belongs on a page entitled 'List of shipwrecks in 1938'.  But there isn't one, and I don't feel up to starting one.

thread_title:  Refimprove tag 

message: The part of the text about Sakic's trial and eventual imprisonment (presumably for war crimes in WW2) is very confusing.  It is never stated WHERE he was tried!  Immediately before that section, there is a discussion of an interview in South America, leading to the Argentine president's plea for his immediate arrest.  Then, there was a sentence about his potentially taking refuge in Croatian embassy.
Right after that, there is the section about the trial.  WHERE was the trial held and how it came to the trial -- where was he arrested and by whom and what was the connection to the section immediately preceding?
After reading and rereading various sections in this Wikipedia article and appurtenant references, I came to the conclusion that the trial was held in Croatia, and that he was interred in a Croatian prison.  But that is nowhere explicitly stated.  How he came to be tried in Croatia is not clear.

message: Dear WikiProject Theater participants...WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on those media franchises which are multimedia as not to step on the toes of this one. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help us get back on solid footing. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand.

In 1998, the college opened to other courses which include Food and Beverage, Cloth-ing Technology and K.A.T.C intermediate to add up to the Secretarial course all courses being at craft level.

But since the list, it seems, is generated in some automatic manner, I can see some value, if it is for cross-check purpose. Anyway, good luck for Portuguese politicians. I actually used (and is using) a computer script, in part, to create those Japanese politicians articles and so the task was really not as labor as it might have appeared :) I wish, someday, I do the similar undertaking with non-Japanese politicians, I'm probably not knowledgeable enough. On the other hands, I guess you really don't need to know politics to create politician articles with very basic bio data like birth date, place, etc. Anyhow, this is something for future; I'm busy enough with Japanese politicians for now. -- Taku 08:13, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
