** 5) '''We need to discuss WPBanner hooks with the Computing project in order to get specific Quality-rating statistics for Java articles:'''

***What do you think about that compromise?

*** a) We ask them to add this in their [[Template:WikiProject Computing]]: (already done by TWTothwolf)

:::<nowiki>|tf 59={{{Javajava|}}}</nowiki>

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_LINKTF_9_LINK = Wikipedia:WikiProject Java</nowiki>

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_NAMETF_9_NAME = WikiProject Java</nowiki>

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_NESTEDTF_9_NESTED = Java</nowiki>

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_IMAGETF_9_IMAGE = Crystal_java.png</nowiki>

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_QUALITYTF_9_QUALITY = yes</nowiki>

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_IMPORTANCETF_9_IMPORTANCE = {{{java-importance}}}</nowiki> (not sure this line is good...)

:::<nowiki> |TF_5_ASSESSMENT_CATTF_9_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Java articles</nowiki>

:* b) Then we can put this kind of tags in Java-related talk pages and get both our own Importance rating and their Quality rating in the stats matrix:

:::<nowiki>{{wpbs||1=</nowiki><br/>

::::<nowiki>{{WikiProject_Computing|class=|importance=|auto=yes|Javajava=yes}}</nowiki><br/>

::::<nowiki>{{WikiProject_Java|importance=mid}}</nowiki><br/>

:::<nowiki>}}</nowiki><br/>

:* <font color="red">c) To that end, I did the first simulated test on [[Talk:J2EE application]], you can see the stats matrix [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Java_articles_by_quality_statistics|here]], it's great!</font>

:* d) Furthermore, after that we could put the {{tl|Compu-stub}} tag in all Java-related article pages NOT already quality-rated and ask [[User:TinucherianBot|TinucherianBot]] to auto-assess on the talk pages; that would give us a base Quality rating to start with.<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i>&nbsp;Alain&nbsp; R 3 4 5&nbsp;</i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000">^{Techno-Wiki-Geek}</font></font></span>]] 02:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br/><br/>

::Comment about 5) For me, in creating the Java WikiProject, there was to be a balance between 'bringing focus to the bettering of Java-related content on Wikipedia' AND 'the overhead of maintaining such a project'. The balance I found, apart from bringing up the Java Portal from scratch, was that 1) we would be a descendent project of WikiProject Computing (not a task force) 2) we would have our own 'banner' linking to the Java Project and the Java Portal and 3) we would stick to the WP1.0 stats management (the Quality-by-Importance matrix). Nothing original so far. Then, comes the decision of having, or not having, a specific Importance rating and/or a specific Quality rating (for Java-related articles) by the Java project. I therefore examined several other projects related or not to computing, and saw that they run the whole gamut in between having no specific ratings (for example, the Quebec project VS the Canada project) to having all specific ratings (for example, the Linux project VS the Computing project). I did think having Importance ratings was practical because that's a management issue for prioritizing articles and their rewriting. There remains the infamous Quality ratings. As I understand it, Quality rating is an editorial issue of Wikipedia, and in fact I never saw (so far) 2 projects giving a different Class. When they do, these differences get reconciled through inter-project discussions. By having NO specific 'class' parameter, the Java WikiProject can somewhat shortcut the 'paperwork' as was explained to me by my adopter SriMesh. Also, we do not need to invoke a bot like AWB from time to time to assess the articles from other project banners. And we do not have to constantly check if the other Computing projects attempt to change the rating over our head. So the problem becomes more simple: how to generate the relevant 'Java articles by quality' category in an article's talk page from the project banner. One way I foresaw is explained above. It means putting both the Computing banner and the Java banner, both keeping their own independant meaning and responsibilities. If somebody has a better method, that's great, but please explain it here before doing any work, so that the team can choose which way to go...<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i>&nbsp;Alain&nbsp; R 3 4 5&nbsp;</i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000">^{Techno-Wiki-Geek}</font></font></span>]] 21:56, 9 December 2009 (UTC)<br/><br/>
