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.

St Anne's College

An IP editor has added a single sentence paragraph and photo of a relative of Catherine, Princess of Wales to the history section of St Anne's College. Any contributions to Talk:St Anne's College, Oxford#Gertrude Middleton will be welcome. TSventon (talk) 15:43, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

New articles?

If this project has a section for the listing of new articles, I'm not seeing it. So, I'm putting it here, St Catherine's College Bicycle Store. A Grade I listed bike shed must warrant an article. Should anyone fancy a DYK they are very welcome, and the hook should be easy. KJP1 (talk) 06:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Featured article review for Richard Hakluyt

I have nominated Richard Hakluyt for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Hog Farm _Talk 17:53, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Francis William Pember

Hello all, just over from the cricket project. As part of my expansion of Hampshire County Cricket Club cricketers, I will be expanding the above article. Seems he was an important figure at Oxford. If anyone has any resources to expand his academic career and tenure as Vice-Chancellor, that would be much appreciated. Cheers, AA (talk) 23:06, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

There was an obituary in the Times on 20 January 1954, which is accessible via Gale in the Wikipedia library, but it doesn't add much to the bare facts already in the article. TSventon (talk) 23:59, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing me in that direction, I didn't realise we had access to Gale via the Wikipedia library. I have expanded the article. AA (talk) 19:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

St Catherine's College squash courts

If any Oxford-based editor were able to take/upload an image of the squash courts/gym at St Catherine's, I would be eternally in their debt. There is currently an irritating gap where a photo should be, in this list, Grade I listed buildings in England completed in the 20th century. KJP1 (talk) 09:17, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Camboxer, I see that you took some of the earlier photos, albeit in 2015, would you be able to help with this? TSventon (talk) 19:16, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I'll look into this. There may have been access problems that stopped me doing so earlier. Camboxer (talk) Camboxer (talk) 22:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Hidden Figures - Jesus College

Hello all, next month Jesus College is celebrating 50 years of women's admittence and they got in touch to see if I knew any editors who might be able to start or expand articles relating to the people chosen, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Women_in_Red#Women_connected_to_Jesus_College,_Oxford Lajmmoore (talk) 21:18, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
