Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Industrial

the Nettwerk Records page is sadly lacking, if anyone has the mental energy to take that on

edit

I just left a note on the Nettwerk talk page about their Wikipedia entry skipping over everything between MOEV and Sarah McLaughlin -- I don't have the bandwidth to do the research and writing to attempt to address it, but Nettwerk was arguably a key driving force for industrial in the '80s and '90s: Skinny Puppy, Delerium, Severed Heads, DRG's entire early career as a visual artist doing album covers. I apologize for dumping this here and running away, but I thought maybe somebody with more immediate in-depth historical knowledge would be interested. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.104.168.203 (talk) 11:44, 7 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that as well. There's a bit of discussion in Assimilate (Reed, 2013) that I can add, and the list of artists should certainly be updated. I've been putting most of my effort lately into triage for unsourced/undersourced articles that are in a precarious state, but I will circle back around to this at some point. -- t_kiehne (talk) 07:39, 17 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
I just made some significant edits to address the early history; the article still needs work and even with my edits could probably expand quite a bit more, but it should be a good start. -- t_kiehne (talk) 05:51, 9 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Ludovico Technique

edit

Hey all! I have created an article on the band Draft: Ludovico Technique (band). The group has reemerged over the past year after a long hiatus. I'd love feedback if anyone has any :)

Thank you! CorinneWestbrook (talk) 12:11, 29 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

@CorinneWestbrook: I've been a bit busy lately but I will take a more detailed look shortly. I can see that the dreaded "notability" foil has been invoked, but this band has 3 releases on Metropolis which counts as a significant indie under WP:MUSIC #5, so that should be squelched. -- t_kiehne (talk) 17:39, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
Oh thank you so much!! I don't think I had Metropolis properly referenced with the first submission, so I went ham on references because yes, they do have the releases on Metropolis and they have toured with Birthday Massacre so that also qualifies them. I so so appreciate you taking a look. CorinneWestbrook (talk) 18:35, 31 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@CorinneWestbrook: I added some comments to the talk page; we can pick up the discussion there and in the meantime I will tighten up some minor technical issues. -- t_kiehne (talk) 04:40, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thank you so much! I just made the edits you recommended :) I appreciate your help! CorinneWestbrook (talk) 12:01, 4 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hey there!

Ludo had a new single come out so I updated the page again and added a few more sources to show more coverage. Do you happen to have any other suggestion for getting it reviewed by any chance? I appreciate you taking a look at it and fixing the errors I had! CorinneWestbrook (talk) 20:15, 9 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

User script to detect unreliable sources

edit

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 "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

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.

Project-independent quality assessments

edit

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 |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, 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 {{WikiProject banner shell}}, 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 {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom 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.
