Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics/Comics creators work group

message: Hello, not sure where to post this. I'm wanting to get involved with this project but I am fairly new to wikipedia, I've been wanting for a while to make an index of comic artists and thought this would be the group to work on that with. I made my first article today Skottie Young but it still needs some work, let me know where I can help out.

thread_title:  Clean up 

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

thread_title:  Project tagging 

message: Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.
We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations. 
A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible. 
We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

thread_title: Does your WikiProject care about talk pages of redirects?

message: I've been working through the articles checking the infoboxes and I've run into something I'd like the work group's input on. Is there a desire to make the text/link that shows up under "Nationality" in the infobox consistent?
Right now, using Americans as an examples, there seems to be 3 ways the information is entered:
*Unlinked text - American
*Linked to the country - American
*Linked to a list - American
It is possible to standardize this through the infobox template, but it would be helpful to know which way we want to go. I'm thinking the "People of..." articles would be preferable with the "Nation" articles being used as a fallback.
This also raises issues with the following:
*China/Hong Kong/Singapore/Taiwan
*British/English/Northern Irish/Welsh/Scots
(There may be others, but these seem to be the two obvious ones)
IIUC, there is a sore spot with categories and in article nomenclature with respects to China. Right now we've got the writer and artist cats breaking down into each of the 4 groups. With Hong Kong and Singapore, would it be a good idea to note "Chinese (Hong Kong)" and "... (Singapore)" in the nationality? And with Taiwan, would there be problems with using "Taiwanese" in the infobox?
As for the UK quintet... is there any type of guide line as to when to use English, Northern Irish, Welsh, or Scots instead of British? IIUC, "British" is the more general term, but it seems it is being used interchangeably with "English". And this one not only affects the "Nationality" field, but also which categories the articles wind up in.

message: This message is being sent to each WikiProject that participates in the WP 1.0 assessment system. On Saturday, January 23, 2010, the WP 1.0 bot will be upgraded. Your project does not need to take any action, but the appearance of your project's summary table will change. The upgrade will make many new, optional features available to all WikiProjects.

message: I'm the main administrator for the Women in Comics Wikia site, which features articles about female creators, women's comics organizations (e.g. Friends of Lulu), and all-women anthologies (e.g. Girl Comics).  We'd like to remain separate because of notability issues, but I think that cross-pollination between our wiki and this WikiProject would help us all out.  We have articles about creators you don't, and Wikipedia articles often form the basis of ours, which we then expand.  Also, we can put the female creators you want articles/expansion for on top priority, so that both projects can grow in tandem.  What do you think?

thread_title: Proposed partnership with Wikia site

message: Because of the way it's written, volunteer editors writing about what they're interested in, Wikipedia's coverage of comics has an unavoidable bias towards the recent and the American. In an effort to get a bit more historical coverage of British comics, I've put together an Unofficial biographical dictionary of British comics in my user page, which takes the lead from proper biographical dictionaries by only including those no longer living.
I've included everyone I can find who has a known date of death, plus anyone with a known date of birth more than 100 years ago, and anyone without dates who worked in comics before 1930. There are a lot of redlinks, naturally, and I'm gradually compiling sources and writing articles for those who seem most important, most interesting and best sourced. Anyone like to give me a hand? --Nicknack009 (talk) 09:28, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you?
