Improving JFK's Report to the American People on Civil Rights

Hello, Wikipedians. A project like this one is long overdue. I noticed that today one of your members placed the project banner on the Report to the American People on Civil Rights article. I've been overhauling that article since fall. Though my work has slowed recently, I was hoping to get it through FAC in time for June 11 2018 so it could be FA of the day. Most of my work is complete; the only two sections of the article that need improvement are a rewrite of the lead and for the "Content" section to be finished. I have the sources to complete the latter task. Any help is welcome. -Indy beetle (talk) 17:33, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Project participant infobox

Does anyone want a participant infobox? I can create one (I've done it before). What would others like to see the image be? - Tim1965 (talk) 16:57, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

ce case

Dicklyon You stated that "consensus says not to cap this" in your edit summary to make this edit. What are you referring to? Mitchumch (talk) 06:44, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Referring to MOS:CAPS and the recent discussion about caps specifically at Talk:Civil rights movement. It's not a proper name, so we don't dress it up as such. Dicklyon (talk) 16:32, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

I wouldn't have commented but for the "...we don't dress it up as such". The Civil Rights Movement, and most of the people in the WikiProject can't help but call it any other name (at least in the confines of our clubhouse to which you have a key), does not have to be "dressed up" to make it a proper noun. Which of course it is, from a very well-sourced point of view and from the common-sense perspective of what makes a historical era historic. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:50, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Protected? Then...

...put that nonsense in the explanation template? It's quite surrealistic, in one way, and not a very good face to present to the readers in another. I am getting more used to it though, a commentary on which title-case to use no doubt, worthy of the Museum of Bad Art. Randy Kryn (talk) 19:53, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

Portal has been G7d - GA promoted

Unfortunately I have to report that I have requested the deletion of the portal, as the RM discussion regarding the title (with blatantly no consensus) was closed as having consensus by an editor with a very clear vendetta against me, as an admin. Sadly, I don't have the energy right now to try to win this fight when portals get so few page views (my userpage alone got more views last month for crying out loud) and when there is this much headache to keep the title correct. If only some editors had actually met the civil rights leaders of our times, then perhaps they would understand why "Civil Rights Movement" is the correct capitalization for the movement which has become a proper noun when it is the common name for it. I wish it hadn't come to this, as I put many days of work into that portal. But, sometimes you have to stand up for the right thing even if it costs you a few losses here and there; a few editors disrupting this project cannot be allowed to systemically waste my or any of our time. So, we must move to other things with more importance for now (unless anyone else feels like taking up that fight somehow).

In other news, I am happy to announce that Ralph Abernathy is now a Good Article, being promoted to the status (serendipitously enough) on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the dear friend he cradled in his arms as he fell into unconsciousness. Give it a read if you'd like, and even better: if you see something that needs fixing please feel free to do so! It is currently awaiting review at WP:DYKN for a place on the main page, which I'd say this man deserves. I'll update the task/status board when that goes through. Have a happy Friday folks, and let's keep this project rolling forward! — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 07:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm just stupefied that you do seem to take every criticism as a vendetta.Will this be back?! ~ Winged Blades^Godric 07:56, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

You may not call it a vendetta, but it most certainly is a clear bias about my character and about my opinions. You therefore should have most certainly refrained from closing that discussion, especially when you knew it was controversial in the first place (note that you said you expected to be taken to MRV in the close itself.... an odd thing to say for someone actually finding consensus). But instead you'd rather continue to disrupt a project you're not even a participating member of. If that isn't a vendetta, I must not know what that word means. (and bringing up an old MFD to attempt to further discredit my character is even more unbecoming of you... or who knows, maybe that's just your style) — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 15:46, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

WikiProject collaboration notice from the Portals WikiProject

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   10:54, 31 May 2018 (UTC)

FloridaArmy I examined the sources you listed for Lucy Coles. Honestly, she does not seem notable. All mention of her is as wife to John J. Coles. The most effective way to have her gain entry into Wikipedia is through her husband. I found sufficient reliable sources to warrant his presence. A redirect can be attached to his article for Lucy Coles. Anyone searching Google for Lucy Cole would be directed towards his article. Mitchumch (talk) 00:02, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

Joel Poinsett

Hi, I tried to introduce a phrase mentionning Joel Poinsett's view on the slave system, mostly because of the links with the biography of Septima Poinsette Clark (her fater was a slave in Poinsett's farm). I would need your help, because I find it hard to determine exactly how to put a phrase in his bio concerning his positions on slavery (he was a unionist, owned slaves and clearly expressed views about the alleged superiority of white people.) Here is the post I left after my phrase was reverted (alhough I admit there is more need for clarification). As you are probably more familiar with the topic than me, I would appreciate your opinion. I will post this message elsewhere as well to foster discussion--Nattes à chat (talk) 07:49, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Help changing the Tulsa Race Massacre/Greenwood Massacre's article title away from "Tulsa race riot"

Hi there. Apologies from an infrequent contributor who's lousy at the formats and protocols required to do this properly. The recent Watchmen (HBO) premiere has brought unprecedented public attention to the overlooked history of the Black Wallstreet Massacre (Greenwood Massacre, Tulsa Race Massacre). An important moment for Wikipedia's entry to reflect an accurate, unbiased portrait of one of the most significant occurrences of large-scale white supremacist violence in post-slavery American history. The current wiki entry is titled "Tulsa race riot." Recent move-requests have been denied and as far as I can tell it's impossible to edit that title (but, like I said, I'm a perpetual newbie and terrible at these kinds of edits). "Riot" connotes a chaotic, multi-sided conflict involving violence with no particular intent. The Tulsa attacks were one-sided, highly directed (by white Americans, against black Americans) and far from intent-less. The article already reports that there are several alternate names for the event and it's a textually minor task to promote a more accurate designation (e.g. Tulsa race massacre) to Title status while demoting "riot" to the list of alternate designations. Textually minor but historically significant. My experience with wikipedia is that the site's conservatism shows up whenever you try to make edits that push against some longstanding bias. Change a title like this and it gets changed back by editors claiming that to edit in recognition of past racism, sexism etc. is itself biased. The reversions are so unrelenting that it's hard not to give up, even though the logic of the conservatives is clearly flawed and antithetical to this site's own regulations supporting neutrality.

The events of 1921 in Tulsa were clearly a massacre, not a riot. I need help from more experienced editors to wrestle Wikipedia's version of that history away from a racially biased narrative. I'd say it's a high priority at this specific moment, when a very prominent network is introducing large numbers of viewers to this event for the first time.GDswamp (talk) 17:57, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

Balance at Forced into Glory

FYI

 – Pointer to relevant discussion elsewhere.

Please see: Talk:Forced into Glory § Balance: Conflict between Lincoln critics like Bennett, and critics of those critics.

The article (on a somewhat controversial biography of Abraham Lincoln) rarely has editors or even talk-page comments, so additional input is requested. PoV issues with our article have been pointed out since 2009, and the off-site academic controversy involving the book's notable author, Lerone Bennett Jr., and his views about Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation goes back to the 1960s.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:01, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

User script to detect unreliable sources

Main page: User:Headbomb/unreliable

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

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

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.

Confederate Memorial Day

I've added some context to the Confederate Memorial Day article, along with sources, as it's been well-established by historians that the holiday was originally promoted during the Jim Crow era to reinforce white supremacy, and revived during the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s (much like the concurrent rise of Confederate monuments). There's one editor who is insisting on removing this sourced material. I would prefer some editors get involved before it gets too ugly, because I have some experience with editors who want to removed what they consider "negative" items from an article, and I think a third or fourth party might be helpful here.

Project-independent quality assessments

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.

Adding Judge Robert M. Toms to project

I just created an article for Robert M. Toms, he was a prosecutor and judge in Wayne County Michigan from 1910 to 1959. He was involved in civil rights in positives and negative ways. He was the prosecutor that tried the Sweet trials in Michigan during 1925/26 and was up against Clarence Darrow. He also appointed the first African American assistant prosecutor in Wayne County Michigan. He was not a major part of the civil rights movement either way, but is reported as being the early setup to the movement in the 1960s. So I don't know if he should be included in your project or not. So I am asking your group if you would like to have his article added, please review his article and add to it if you think it should be. If not thank your for looking.

Hello! On behalf of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, I have drafted a replacement Wikipedia entry for editor review. On the article's Talk page, I have outlined how the current entry is problematic and shared how I think the draft is a significant improvement. I do not edit the main space because of my conflict of interest, so I'm seeking assistance from other editors to implement the improved text on my behalf. Are any WikiProject Civil Rights Movement members willing to take a look? Thanks for your consideration, Inkian Jason (talk) 14:44, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
