Leftwich and Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Boneyard/Featured content dispatch workshop: Difference between pages

It would be helpful to have interviews on standby for fillers. I would like to interview Gimmetrow, and am putting off interviewing Marskell until the citation list is further reduced. Is anyone interested in starting these interviews in a temp file:

Tony1, Jbmurray and Awadewit in a combined Dispatch about copyediting, relative to GA, FA and PR processes
Some combination of top editors at WP:WBFAN, but avoiding the top producers for the year 2008, as I'd like to do them separately when we have 2008 completed data. (May need to ask Rick Block to generate a preliminary 2008 list, so we can see which editors to defer and which to run now.)
I got the 2008 data so far from Rick Block, and the top 2008 FA nominators are Blnguyen, David Fuchs and Hurricanehink, so if we wanted to leave them until end of 2008, avoid overlap and interview some of the top WP:WBFAN list, we could focus on Awadewit, Cla68, Mike Christie and Casliber. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:31, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Interested in a Dispatch on productive FAC/FAR reviewers, review past stats lists at WT:FAC for lists of consistent top 10.
WP:FAR saves: I suspect that Ceoil (talk · contribs) and DrKiernan (talk · contribs) have the most saves, but should ask Marskell.

One problem with this list of proposed interviews is that some of them include all the same editors ... need to figure out how to pick and choose around that issue, deciding which editors to include in which Dispatch.

SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

To solve the redundancy we could always pigeonhole the contributors by their topic areas and pick and choose that way... Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 23:29, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

After Rick Block generates his list, we'll have a better idea where the redundancies are. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:30, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

If you ever need a FL related interview, you could try Matthewedwards, who will replace The Rambling Man as FL director at some point within the next few weeks. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:59, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

September 29, 2008

We're a week from the Wikipedia:FCDW/September 29, 2008 deadline; does anyone want it? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 22:37, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, we could do an interview with Matthewedwards, who is set to take over the spot of FL director from The Rambling Man. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Who's volunteering? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

I could, if you trust my interviewing style and utter lack of knowledge about FL... :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 02:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

I could chip in with some FL questions where I can help. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:31, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Go for it guys, but David, please don't set it up in user space and then cut and paste it over; I think that is Not A Good Thing :-) I suggest setting it up in WP:FCDW/TempME. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:37, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

As you command, your Featured Highness™. I'm assuming we would then just perform an admin-move for the page over to FCDW/date? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 02:46, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

No, anyone can move it then, doesn't need admin. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:49, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Oh, alright. I've left him a note on his talk page. If you've got any questions, post 'em. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 02:51, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I think he gave us a lot of meet to chew on, I've started condensing it and removing the more extraneous questions. Should I copy it over and start the trimming in earnest? Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 13:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll move it when the time is right (no, please do NOT do a copy-paste move again :-) Since the 22nd hasn't yet published, I don't know what's up, so don't want to move it in just yet. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:30, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

PS, I left a note to Tony to have a look because it is way too long. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 20:31, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to go through it as well (I already axed two rather tangental questions), but I would leave any paraphrasing to Tony's capable hands. And when I said 'copy over', I meant 'page move'... really, I did. :P Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 17:58, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

David, there's been some discussion of moving to biweekly Dispatches, so let's give that discussion some time before we decide on Sept 29 or the week after; I'll move it over once that sorts itself. Unless someone else has new ideas, we're starting to run out of topics. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:00, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later... :) As it was, the Signpost never goes out on time anyway so there's no point putting your nose to the millstone for naught. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:15, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Allright, since we've had no further feedback or new ideas for many weeks, I've spoken with Ral315 about skipping weeks when we have nothing. This interview is the only thing we have in the pipeline for now, and it's not ready, so we'll skip a week and use it the following week. It's pretty long and needs trimming; I asked others to help, but I've seen no action, so we'll put it off for a week, and after that, if no one joins up, I'll try to start writing the Dispatches myself. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 07:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I think I've edited it down pretty a substantial bit, small enough for reading, you can take another look (it still needs work.) I suppose long-term dispatches would include the top contributer of '08, and (assuming something changes) the changes to WIAFA... Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 12:32, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

October 13

We had no Dispatch for September 29 (because I tired of hounding people), I moved the Matthewedwards Featured list interview to WP:FCDW/October 6, 2008, and WP:FCDW/October 13, 2008 is open. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:23, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Am I talking to myself here ? :-) OK, if no one speaks up and takes October 13, I'll write up something about recent FA stats, using WP:FAS, User:Dr pda/Featured article statistics, Image:FA and GA prose size.svg and Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates/archive31#FA category tallies.
