[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Naming conventions

I've proposed moving Italian Libyans to Italian settlers in Libya because the former name is barely used in any reliable sources.

There's a somewhat-widespread habit on Wikipedia of naming articles about Fooians who settle in Barland as "Fooian Barian". In cases where that name is actually used in reliable sources (e.g. most immigrant groups in Australian, Canada, the U.S., many parts of Latin America), this is fine, but such names are also being used for articles about migrants in the rest of the world. In my opinion, this is a mistake. If you have some comment on this issue, please leave your thoughts at Talk:Italian Libyans#Requested move. Thanks, cab (talk) 03:01, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
