Undefined reference in Joseph Furphy

This edit of yours on Joseph Furphy appears to have introduced an undefined reference named ":2" - presumably you copied it from another article. Could you also copy the definition please. Mitch Ames (talk) 06:06, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Not sure how it happened - might've been before i really understood source editing - but it's fixed now Contrawwftw (talk) 06:21, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Attempted de-orphan

Greetings Contrawwftw, for the backlog at Category:Attempted de-orphan, most months have very few articles. Mostly because that "attempted" is usually the last resort for really old articles (created many years ago). Alternatives may be to check an article's Talk and add missing Wikiprojects or update Wikiprojects - brings more attention to the article. The "Expert needed" posted on the article page is also helpful. Articles recently written can be "Move to draft" for improvements. Lastly, for articles without any, or not reliable references, the PROD - Proposing an article for deletion or AfD Nominated for deletion are possible options. JoeNMLC (talk) 03:47, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thank you for the advice. I'll only put the attempt parameter for the older articles and also keep the other suggestions in mind. Contrawwftw (talk) 03:54, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WIkiProject Doctor Who Newsletter: July 2024

The Space-Time Telegraph
Volume II, Issue I — July 2024
Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who

Okay–ooh. New ~~teeth~~ newsletter. That's weird...

Hello!

Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly.

For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list.

I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo.....

Big Spike in Productivity

During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees.

Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with "Boom", "73 Yards", and "The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA.
2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent "The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later "The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by "Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for "Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status.
The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check.
Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed.

Proposals to the WikiProject

A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows:

The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces.
The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site.
Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section.
An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR.
Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise.
The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates.

If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion.

Discussions of Note

A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.
