message: Hi Wikiproject members,
I was trying to fix a little bit the Naocobau stub, but the article is a mess. I think that someone with a better understanding of the language could improve it and format it properly. Thanks.  Alexcalamaro (talk) 07:10, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Naocobau]] article stub needs a clean up 

message: 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 "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
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.

message: The purge of Oceania football (and specifically women's football) bios now seems to be targeting Fiji. If you can add reliable sources to existing stubs it will help them avoid deletion. IdiotSavant (talk) 10:05, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Football bios 

message: There's a discussion on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard about some WikiProject Fiji BLPs.  Davidcannon is an adminstrator that has created 600+ articles, many of which are BLPs. Standards were different when the articles were created, so referencing is spotty. In addition, link rot has meant many of the original supporting references were removed (despite many being recoverable). Given Fiji's recent history, many of these BLPs make claims of criminal behaviour (or being a victim of criminal behaviour) which nowdays requires referencing. The upshot is that we have a long and incomplete list of articles which need to be checked and referenced to modern standards. Where the article history includes an edit by Davidcannon with a summary of "dead links removed", the waybackmachine can be used to recover the link. Alternative references may also be able to be found on RNZ or in Fijian media. I've done a few already (since I'm currently doing a bit of cleanup, but can anyone else help?

message: Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a  parameter to , which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to , and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass  a new  parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

message: You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject.  This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.

message: Hello WikiProject Fiji: 
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!
