Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles requested for more than a year

message: I am in the process of creating Stubs for all AR1 legal articles.  I have been making Redirects to others that really should be put in with other articles, or are common mis-spellings.  Finally, after a few days, I will erase the Blue Links.  Is that O.K.?  Do I need to create any special notes?  Comments?  Bearian 20:04, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Legal aid may me a better redirect target than the country specific Legal Aid Society; however, my personal view is that legal services is such a vague term that it probably shouldn't be an article at all. - SimonP 20:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I will redirect Legal services to Legal aid. Bearian 21:44, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Execution also exists as a disambiguation page.  Would this be a better redirect? Bearian 23:49, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I've redirected House counsel to General counsel.  In-house counsel is already redirected to Attorney. In house (without the dash) is redundant. Bearian 23:45, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Assigned risk is started.  That was a hard one.  It will need a lot more work for information on other states.  Anyone? Bearian 22:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Attachment of earnings is done. Someone else did Interlineation. Bearian 22:01, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Attorney of record is done. Bearian 21:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Deficiency judgment is done.  I have also created a dead link to Deficiency judgement, and redirected it to the former stub. :-) Bearian 20:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've redirected some artcles.  Determinable has been linked to Fee simple.  I've created a new section for Easements for floating easement -- an instant merge.  Bearian 19:51, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

message: What's going on? Some of the same old, and some more, keep popping up.  I don't think I'll finish these all by 1 May 2007. Bearian 20:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Could Paramount title have something to do with right of property as discussed inTitle (property), or Right to property? Bearian 20:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Legal advertising is done.  I'm proud of it, but not so proud you can't help edit. :-)  I've also added more text and references to the related Shockvertising.  Bearian 01:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm on vacation, and will do minimal creation of articles for a day or two. Jump right in! Bearian 18:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  I completed Cumis counsel and redirected some other articles.  Bearian 20:29, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I deleted some blue links, but mis-labeled the notes as red links. Sorry. Bearian 20:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Progress! I created In open court, and had to create disambiguation remarks at Appearance, Open Court Publishing Company and Open Court Reading.  I'm redirecting Marital Rights to Marital life estate.  Also, I'm redirecting Redetermination to Appeal and Reassesment to Assessment. Bearian 21:17, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Quasi-criminal is quasi-done. :-) I've also created some redirects for other legal articles. Bearian 17:28, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've done, since June 1, a number of articles, including Assisted person, Dominant estate, Escrow instructions, Irreparable damage or injury and Last antecedent rule.  Also, I've redirected Negative declaration to Not and included more information through there in Environmental impact statement. I have made several other redirects. Bearian 21:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sorry, but I have been a bit slow on adding new articles and stubs.  I added a section on Notice of appeals to Appeal.  Still working on the otthers. Bearian 04:34, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Plaint number is done.  I also redirected Paramount title as may be seen.  I created Unspecified claim as well. Bearian 20:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This week, I completed District registry and Originating application.  I also redirected District registrar and Reach through claims to material created in other articles. Bearian 15:37, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More articles done 

message: The very top of wiki page says "Articles that have been requested, but not created, prior to 5 February 2005." Sounds like articles older than a year to me. Shouldnt all these articles be placed in the "Articles requested for more than two years" page? Thanks for the info in advance. calaka 19:06, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Articles requested for more than a year?

message: Since I'm not 100% sure if "(music)" is intended to refer to something else than the artist Mats Söderlund, I didn't do it myself, but if it's about the same person as the artist who call himself Günther, a redirect to that article is probably sufficient. — Northgrove 15:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes! you're right. Chubbles 06:16, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Günther (music) 

message: Just wondering about the updating system for this page...it looks like User:SimonP used to do the dumping here; is there a regular crew of people who look this over? Is it possible to have a bot update the page? Chubbles 16:23, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am guessing a new approach is in place? For example, he is waiting for all of the articles to either be created/redirected/ or removed for being non-notable before he brings out a new batch of articles to be created. That's just my guess though. Maybe he simply forgot to update :p. Cheers!Calaka (talk) 12:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure if this page is still active or not, but I'm removing Afro-Cubop for music because a stub already exists for Cubop which is just a shorter term for the same thing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Namaps (talk • contribs) 00:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: See my response, but the tool that I am adding should make this easier. it will go through the page history and find when it was added and add a timestamp for that result. a early version is User:Betacommand/Sandbox. Once this is done we can be a lot more flexible with indexing these request and working with future request. any suggestions would be welcome. βcommand 02:18, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Wikipedia:Bot_requests#.22oldrequestbot.22_for_Articles_requested_for_more_than_...

message: I've been manually putting together an update for this page. This is the first for about a year, and I've really noticed how much longer it is taking for requests to be cleared. When I created these pages more than 80% of requests were filled each year. Now that number is more like 10%. I personally don't feel that AR1 is useful with those numbers. Copying a full 90% of the requests page helps nobody. To get a useful list of aged requests I've actually gone back a full three years to June 22, 2005. There are a probably about a thousand remaining requests from that date, which is a manageable number for an AR# page. If anyone wants to see for themselves, here are some past editions of the Applied arts and sciences requests pages:
*June 22, 2007 about 90% redlinks
*June 22, 2006 about 70% redlinks
*June 22, 2005 about 20% redlinks
*June 22, 2004 no valid redlinks

replies: text: Hi Simon. When a request reaches an AR# page, sometimes it is concluded that the topic is not notable and the request is removed from the AR# page. Is there a way to ensure that the original request does not makes its way back onto the AR#? As for updating the AR# pages, we should have WP:AR1, WP:AR2, WP:AR3 pages. If it only makes sense to update WP:AR3, then perhaps that is what we should doe. Having WP:AR3 will make the back log clearer and give a stronger sense of urgency than listing the three year old requests on WP:AR1. We should only need WP:AR1, but until that time, we should have WP:AR2 WP:AR3 as well. Bebestbe (talk) 22:39, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The way I update these pages is I go through the redlinks on the aged requests page and check the "What links here" to make sure they are still listed on one of the current request pages. Thus as long as a request is removed from the main requests page when it is found to be invalid, it won't appear here by my method. At the moment I think it only makes sense to have an AR3 page. Both AR1 and AR2 would have thousands of links more than is useful. - SimonP (talk) 14:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The requests for AR1 and AR2 probably could be worked on just as easily where they are now rather than move them to AR1 and AR2 where they would still be behind AR3 requests. Checking the "What links here" link for each article is a lot of work. Hopefully, the bot will free us of this. Are the associated requests on the main article request page (AR) removed when the request is added to ARX? If not, then subsequent removal of an unfilfilled request only at ARX will leave the request at the main article request page where it eventually will make its way back on ARX. This might cause overlap in efforts. Bebestbe (talk) 14:29, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've always left requests both at the main AR page and at the ARX page. Thus if you do find a request is invalid, you should make sure to remove it from all the request pages it might be listed on. - SimonP (talk) 14:03, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

message: hi there i was thinking about maybe tackling an article or two here but some of the artists for instance could be one of 2 artists of the same name, is there any way to find out what page is listing the article to be created? as this would shed more light on the subject Chopki (talk) 03:22, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where do the links link to 

message: So I've been clearing away the Artists section for the last week or so and I see that some articles still seem to be around because there are questions as to a person's notability.  Can I suggest a general consensus for AR1 that if you can't find *any* information relating to a specific person on search engines (and/or Google,) then that person probably isn't notable, by default?
If the artist is from an older period, and now deceased, it only stands to reason that hey, if we (the human population, in general) haven't heard of them, and aren't talking about them yet, we probably aren't going to, especially when noone has written about them already.
I would be quite comfortable removing the remaining Artist redlinks as they stand as of today, because I've looked hard for a mention, and I'm not getting anything.  If anyone has any suggestions for an art WikiProject that may be able to contribute their expertise and knowledge re:paper sources, go for it.

replies: text: Agree! If someone does find something in the future then no one is stopping them from adding the name back to request the article or even make the article themselves. Good job on the clearance.Calaka (talk) 01:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

text: actually i had been using this page as a reference for work to do on wikipedia. For example i am creating an article on ringo manga (see my user templates). Please will you redirect me to a page with more articles for creation. EDIT: found the links at the bottom of the project page ^_^. EdGilmour (talk) 10:10, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability (people) 

message: The content for this page appears very outdated. Couldn't the additions to this page be automated with a bot? I.e. for each of the requested article sub-pages:
# compare the requested article page content from a year ago to the current requests
# if an entry is not already in the list, insert it to a page listing old requests in that sub-topic, organized by section header.
# as the final step of the bot job, re-order the sub-pages.
Those sub-pages would then be included here. Thanks. Regards, RJH (talk) 17:44, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
