** 2) '''Is there a better way to screen for untagged Java material than the searches suggested under List: in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Java/Things you can do|Things you can do]]?'''<br/><br/>▼
*** Again I'll do some loud thinking here about this second question of mine. Since I could not figure out a less convoluted way of finding existing Wikipedia content currently untagged for Java, I'll keep it at that. The first [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=Java+%22programming+language%22+platform+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+programming+language%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+device+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22JVM+programming+language%22+-incategory%3AEclipse+-incategory%3A%22Java+enterprise+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+virtual+machine%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+specification+requests%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+development+tools%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Free+software+programmed+in+Java%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+libraries%22+-incategory%3A%22Articles+with+example+Java+code%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+APIs%22+-incategory%3A%22JavaServer+Faces%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+API+for+XML%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+Internet+Relay+Chat+clients%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+technology%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+applications%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+games%22+-incategory%3ASodaplay&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search search] I'm referring to gives 935 articles, the second [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=Java+(%22programming+language%22+OR+platform)+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+programming+language%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+device+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22JVM+programming+language%22+-incategory%3AEclipse+-incategory%3A%22Java+enterprise+platform%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+virtual+machine%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+specification+requests%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+development+tools%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Free+software+programmed+in+Java%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+libraries%22+-incategory%3A%22Articles+with+example+Java+code%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+APIs%22+-incategory%3A%22JavaServer+Faces%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+API+for+XML%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+Internet+Relay+Chat+clients%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+technology%22+-incategory%3A%22Eclipse+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+applications%22+-incategory%3A%22Java+platform+games%22+-incategory%3ASodaplay&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search search] is 3515 long; so I guess we will stay with the first one for the time being. What I suggest is to cover all of that material by placing those 935 links in a list (on the to_do subpage) with 3 types: 'Good candidates', 'Bad candidates' and 'Unclear'. An example of a 'Good' article for inclusion in Java categories would be [[Jess_programming_language]], a 'Bad candidate' would be [[Computer]] and an 'Unclear' is [[Cross-platform]]. After that process, we settle the 'Unclear' and then we tag all the 'Good candidates' with Java categories. What do YOU think?<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 02:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br/><br/>▼

:* 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> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 02:00, 1 December 2009 (UTC)<br/><br/>
::The thing about project independance is certainly a relevant argument. But I'm not sure you are talking about TF hooks in terms of your own taste or of a WP1.0 policy change... Could you flesh out your idea please. (Note: Auto-assessing before putting the Compu-stub tag in untagged articles only means we'll have to request the bot a second time, but if you like it, why not!)<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 22:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)<br/><br/>
▲:::I know what you are trying to do and {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} and the WP1.0 stats bot doesn't work like that. {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}'s TF code for {{para|java}} will eventually go away and can't be depended on either (I just added it for transitional purposes since I saw many articles trying to use {{para|java}} with {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}. --[[User:Tothwolf|Tothwolf]] ([[User talk:Tothwolf|talk]]) 21:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
▲:::I've put in the bot request [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xenobot_Mk_V/requests&diff=prev&oldid=330740324] to get everything auto-assessed using the existing banners and stub templates. Once that is done we can weed out and re-tag articles that aren't within the project's scope (I noticed a few related to DVD manufacturers for example). After {{cl|Java articles by quality}} is fully populated, [[User:WP 1.0 bot]] will re-generate [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Java articles by quality statistics]]. --[[User:Tothwolf|Tothwolf]] ([[User talk:Tothwolf|talk]]) 22:06, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

▲:::::If we are talking about the TF stuff in {{tl|WikiProject Computing}}, it has become unmaintainable and people are not even bothering to use the parameters for {{tl|WikiProject Computing}} much of the time now. All of the WikiProjects that have TF options already have their own banners and most have been slowing switching back to them. In the not too distant future I'll look into getting a bot to finish the job and clean up the bulk of what is left. It will be trivial to have a bot add {{tl|WikiProject Computing}} to articles that already have other banners as well.<br />As for {{tl|WikiProject Java}}, there are already stub templates on many articles. We will likely have to request several bot runs for the initial stuff anyway and that is pretty normal.<br />In my experience assessing articles doesn't add too much overhead and it won't require AWB or anything fancy. Keeping banner templates standardised and using normal options means people who assess for one project will usually assess for the other projects that have banners present since {{para|class}} will be the same for all banners and is usually the only option that needs to change once the assessment templates are established. Unlike the {{para|importance}} scale, which varies between individual projects, there is a standard scale for assessing articles for {{para|class}}. See [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment]], [[Template:Grading scheme]], and [[Template:Importance scheme]] for more information on the scales. --[[User:Tothwolf|Tothwolf]] ([[User talk:Tothwolf|talk]]) 22:53, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

▲::::::OK, I think you've shown a good case for that (having our own Quality rating). I modified the Template doc and Assessment subpages accordingly. We only wish you'd justified these actions BEFORE doing them, as they influence a lot of things. Remember it's a team effort...<br/>-- [[User:Alainr345|<span style="display:inline-block; position:relative; top:20px;"><font face="Times" color="#4590ff" size="2"><u><i> Alain R 3 4 5 </i></u><br/><font color="#ffb000"><sup>Techno-Wiki-Geek</sup></font></font></span>]] 00:44, 12 December 2009 (UTC)<br/><br/>

▲:::::::Feel free to copy from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject IRC/Assessment|this]] assessment page if you'd like. I created that one ages ago. Don't forget about [[WP:BOLD]] ;) We should be seeing the bot begin to process [[WP:JAVA]] articles soon. It was processing [[WP:OXFORD]] stuff today and JAVA is next in the queue. --[[User:Tothwolf|Tothwolf]] ([[User talk:Tothwolf|talk]]) 00:55, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
