Re: Television in Cyprus

K, so here's something that I think you might be interested in. I'm not a member of this WikiProject, but (using a university IP address) I posted on the talk pages of the Bayrak and the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation articles that I want to do a transmitter list for both companies (including for the Television in Cyprus article) in a matter similar to that of the AFN and ARD articles. I have a list from my 2007 edition of the WRTH, yet I need the locations of the transmitter sites. Would you guys mind helping me on this?

The transmitter sites are:

For CyBC

Mount Olympus (listed both for FM radio and TV)
Athalassa (listed for TV)
Tsadha (listed for FM and TV)
Paralimni (listed for FM and TV)
Zygi (listed for shortwave)

For Bayrak

Kantara (listed for domestic radio, which is via FM)
Sevilitepe (listed for domestic radio and television)
Sinandagi (listed for television)
(Yeni) Iskele (listed for shortwave)

NB: My apologies for the Turkish tranmitter sites - apparently WRTH does not make any concessions to Turkish orthography.

Thanks! --Daniel Blanchette (talk) 16:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Draft Guidelines for Lists of companies by country - Feedback Requested

Within WikiProject Companies I am trying to establish guidelines for all Lists of companies by country, the implementation of which would hopefully ensure a minimum quality standard and level of consistency across all of these related but currently disparate articles. The ultimate goal is the improvement of these articles to Featured List status. As a WikiProject that currently has one of these lists within your scope, I would really appreciate your feedback! You can find the draft guidelines here. Thanks for your help as we look to build consensus and improve Wikipedia! - Richc80 (talk) 21:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Help with Cyprus cities/towns/villages and their disambiguation.

Greetings! There is a proposal to organize a bot in order to create thousands upon thousands (if not eventually -- a million) articles related to villages/towns/cities from around the world. Cyprus is also a part of this and there is a list of places from Cyprus found here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/Places/cyprus. Currently however, before the project can begin, the list of places need to be checked for disambiguation. That is, there are some blue links already created and they need to be checked to ensure that they are in fact already the created cityand not a disambiguation page. This is needed as the bot will not be able to create the place if there is already a blue link and if its a disambiguation page, then that place (be it a city, village or town) will miss out. That is why I ask anyone here from this project who has some time or knowledge of Cyprus to have a look and help if they want in any way they can. As a side note, there is also a discussion going on here at the village pump: Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/FritzpollBot and you are more than welcome to state your views on it. There is also a FAQ that you may have a look at User:FritzpollBot/FAQ but if you have any question do get in contact with Fritzpoll here User talk:Fritzpoll or with Biofield here User talk:Blofeld of SPECTRE. Kind regards. Calaka (talk) 05:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme

As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.

The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Cypriot

Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Wikipedia:Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks! For the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial team, SelectionBot 23:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Help request: 42 Cyprus-related articles needing geographical coordinates

Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Cyprus, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Cyprus, and could usefully have geographical coordinates added.

The articles in question are listed in Category:Cyprus articles missing geocoordinate data. At the time of writing, some examples included:

...and there are many more, as well. At the time of posting this notice, there were 42 articles in this category needing geographical coordinates.

Why add coordinates?

By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and in many other ways. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps' Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth, and Wikipedia's own internal map service. Coordinate data also helps readers looking for geographically-based data, such as locations near a reference point, or related information.

How can I do it?

The articles are all marked with {{coord missing}} tags, which need to be replaced with {{coord}} tags that contain the location's latitude/longitude coordinates; or you might be able to add coordinates to an existing infobox. You can find out how to do this at the Wikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! -- The Anome (talk) 11:38, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposal to merge Economy of Northern Cyprus into Northern Cyprus#Economy

The only information in Economy of Northern Cyprus that does not already appear in Northern Cyprus#Economy is the list with GNP per capita 2002-2007. This short article can be easily merged into Northern Cyprus#Economy. Please discuss the merge proposal on Talk:Northern Cyprus. --Zlerman (talk) 05:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Issue resolved. The decision was Keep for consistency with other Economy of country articles. --Zlerman (talk) 09:49, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
