Work on Wikipedia:WikiProject Reformed Christianity

• Assess articles tagged with {{WikiProject Roots music|class=|importance=}}
• WPChristianity
  • Work on Template:Infobox_Christian_denomination as specified on its talk page
  • Ensure that the assessment works for Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Core topics work group
    • Request that someone else set up the categories for the other groups, as admins and those with AWB have special powers in this regard
      • Have asked; wait for response until at least 29/05/2007
  • I recommended Template talk:Christianity#Collapsible template?
    • Made denominations collapsible; if no-one complains, do other sections too (29/05/2007)
    • If that goes down well, talk to Template:Calvinism about integrating with Template:Christianity
• Content creation
  • Put Calvinism section of Predestination mostly into Predestination (Calvinism), and merge Types of religious predestination into Predestination (if the time for discussion has been long enough; try after 21st April)
  • Keep working on History of Reformed Christianity
  • Consider pushing Covenanters to FA status
  • Consider a bunch of disambiguation pages for eg. Reformed Presbyterian, so that we can move that information off the individual denomination pages. (and then alter the Calvinist Denomination template)
• Dates to remember (mostly for Portal:Reformed Christianity):
  • June 1: Check that showcase articles came out OK
  • June 25: Need to assess nominations for showcase articles

--

• On hold:
  • If we start going through pages that link to Calvinism again, I was up to Abraham Kuenen (in the second 500)
  • On Monday 7th, if there's no discussion (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity#Infoboxes and Templates):
    • Move Template:Infobox Calvinist Theologian to Template:Infobox Christian Theologian
      • Got lazy and decided that this is too Calvinist-specific, so I'll leave it for a while

Misc notes

• Note: IF an article is in a subcategory of Category:Reformed Christianity AND is NOT in Category:WikiProject Reformed Christianity THEN dump the list to such-and-such a place :: going 3 levels deep: here are the results
• Note: User:Rsclark is Dr. R. Scott Clark, who teaches historical and systematic theology at Westminster Seminary California, has a Wikipedia account, but doesn't want to be a part-time Wikipedia editor. He may occasionally be useful, though, especially on Covenant Theology.

Guitar todos

• See if there are any responses to the rename suggestion for Finger vibrato (original suggestion 22/02/2007)
• Split and merge Slapping into Tambour (guitar technique) et. al.; see Talk:Slapping#Split and merge
• List of guitar-related topics
  • Fix disambiguations for guitar amp/effects terms, such as stack, clean, dirty; this can't be done until my question at Talk:Guitar amplifier#Clean/dirty is answered (asked 22/02/2007)
• Check the pages associated with Flamenco guitar to see if they've been updated
  • Split the Flamenco guitar page itself into a page about the instrument, and a page about the style (Toque)
• Check Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical guitar, and see whether they've accepted my suggestion about Flamenco guitar; if there's no response, and no recent updates, then maybe just do it, and promote the project; OTOH, if the WikiProject Tiers proposal goes through, it might work better to interact with WikiProject Guitarists and see if they're interested in changing to WikiProject Guitar, and subsuming WPClassical Guitar as a task force.
• If all else fails, flick through Category:Guitar stubs. If even that doesn't help, look for other stub categories

Electric Folk todos

• Project: Wikipedia:WikiProject Roots music/Anglo-Celtic electric folk task force
• Article: Electric folk
• Alter the article scope template for Roots music so that Electric Folk pages are in separate categories to the main ones
• Revise Electric folk page
• Create infoboxes for bands in Category:Electric folk groups
  • Consider adding all relevant pages to my watchlist
• Clean out Electric-folk related categories, including Category:Folk rock groups
• Consideration for inclusion: Tag sourcing: revise List of folk rock artists#British and Irish folk rock; investigate some of those groups in the "Other" sections
• See task force todo list
• Steeleye Span:
  • Consider adding more headings all 'round on album pages. Extra headings for albums could include "Song selection", "Popular reception" (or Controversy?), and, in some cases "Songs" (where there are blurbs on the different songs)
  • Consider revising the Steeleye Span musicians in accordance with electric folk guidelines, remembering the {{Steeleye Span}} template

Other

• Revise todo list on WikiProject page
• Trace Genreboxes backward as far as possible (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Music genres/To Do#Genrebox traceback project)
• Interesting: Renaissance (band)
• Rewrite the following with reference to Electric folk:
  • Anything that appears obvious from Special:Whatlinkshere/Folk_rock; ditto for the bands (Steeleye, etc)

Other Roots music ideas

• Check out the Fusion ideas on Wikipedia:WikiProject World music/Definitions
• Consider tagging at Roots music project
• Consider revising Template:WP Roots music/Article Scope and Template:WPRegionalNationalMusicBanner so that it a) doesn't include Roots music categories when using a task force

Todo

• Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list

On hold until Wikipedia:WikiProject reform is sorted out

• Make templates that cover general WikiProject stuff, and then use the templates for the WikiProjects I'm associated with
• Actually, I need to rewrite that reform page myself, and see what people do
• Use m:CatScan (here) intersecting the following WikiProjects with the following other categories to fill out the lists listed after the categories; store the results of the run as a subpage of the WikiProject and link from the "more..." link in the todo list
  • WikiProjects:
    • Category:WikiProject Reformed Christianity
    • The music one I will set up
  • Intersecting categories:
    • See Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup
    • Category:Wikipedia cleanup (for cleanup section of todo list)
    • Category:NPOV disputes (for NPOV section of todo list)
    • Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit (for copy edit section of todo list)
  • Something for verification
• Consider continuing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide, especially:
  • Consider integrating stuff from the WikiProject subpage back into the main document; however, they will need to be generalised to include task forces and possibly other tiers as well, so they need to be done one at a time. Candidate sections are:
    • Recruiting (relates to task forces as well as WikiProjects)
    • Getting to work
    • Auxiliary features
    • At least parts of "Common pitfalls"
    • Technical Notes
    • Project Categories

Links I seem to use often

• Wikipedia:WikiProject Council
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography
  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history
• /Sandbox

Subpages (old stuff)

The pages I've created as subpages of this are:

• Both of these are quite old
  • User:TimNelson/Categorisation (suggestions for a more free-form categorisation scheme)
  • User:TimNelson/Browse (suggestions for changes to the browse page)
