WikiProject Software to do list
- The following topics are missing an article; calling all enthusiasts to start these articles urgently. [Read the Talk page]
- Gordian Knot (software), AutoGK, a bit obsolete, but still worth an article, or two (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeSweet)
- Topaz Labs (software), photo editing software in the same vein as Photoshop or NIK software. The company has expanded and is used by many various fine art and photography professionals. www.topazlabs.com. Deserves an article.
- (please feel free to add more)
- The following articles need some updating and cleanup (please feel free to add more):
- BlueSpice for MediaWiki
- Cabri Geometry, article too short but of significant importance
- Defraggler
- EmEditor, needs notability references, and general improvements
- Ext4
- eXtremeDB
- Flowtracer
- Google File System, tagged with {{Expert-subject|Software|date=November 2008}}
- Home Assistant (seems to be consensus that this needs cleanup from uninvolved editors after its 2nd AfD, as of 2021-04-02)
- Hypervisor, the PCs and desktop systems section needs attention
- Jv16 powertools
- KVIrc
- Light (web browser), just created, it's decently written but still really short, and it's not part of this project yet
- mdadm, mostly non-encyclopedic content (HOWTO/manual)
- Micro Transport Protocol, widely used since uTorrent 2.0 released
- Ntfsprogs
- Norton 360
- Recuva
- Presentation Manager, requesting screenshot of GUI, also needs references
- Program Information File
- Software as a service
- Windows library files
- XNUMBERS
- Zamzar
- Autodesk Media and Entertainment, major content deletion happened for cleanup on 17 March 2008 (11,000K to 2,000K), and now it's so outdated & stub-like it needs a total rebuild
- List of web application frameworks, go through the articles of listed frameworks and nominate for deletion the non-notable ones, clean the list from non-notable ones, clean Template:Application frameworks
- Aviary (application suite) Needs major updating, referencing, and clean up.
- Scrumban article reads like a sales brochure and I don't have the subject knowledge to fix it.
- XnView article uses primary sources excessively
- The following page lists articles that need expert attention from WikiProject Software and have been tagged by {{Expert-subject|Software}}:
ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Signpost exit poll
Dear Wikipedian, you recently voted in the ArbCom election. Your username, along with around 155 other usernames of your fellow Wikipedians, was randomly selected from the 2000+ Wikipedians who voted this year, with the help of one of the election-commissioners. If you are willing, could you please participate (at your option either on-wiki via userspace or off-wiki via email) in an exit poll, and answer some questions about how you decided amongst the ArbCom candidates?
If you decide to participate in this exit poll, the statistical results will be published in the Signpost, an online newspaper with over 1000 Wikipedians among the readership. There are about twelve questions, which have alphanumerical answers; it should take you a few minutes to complete the exit poll questionnaire, and will help improve Wikipedia by giving future candidates information about what you think is important. This is only an unofficial survey, and will have no impact on your actual vote during this election, nor in any future election.
All questions are individually optional, and this entire exit poll itself is also entirely optional, though if you choose not to participate, I would appreciate a brief reply indicating why you decided not to take part (see Question Zero). Thanks for being a Wikipedian
The questionnaire
Dear Wikipedian, please fill out these questions -- at your option via usertalk or via email, see Detailed Instructions at the end of the twelve questions -- by putting the appropriate answer in the blanks provided. If you decide not to answer a question (all questions are optional), please put the reason down: "undecided" / "private information" / "prefer not to answer" / "question is not well-posed" / "other: please specify". Although the Signpost cannot guarantee that complex answers can be processed for publication, it will help us improve future exit polls, if you give us comments about why you could not answer specific questions.
quick and easy exit poll , estimated time required: 4 minutes |
|---|
|
|
Detailed Instructions: you are welcome to answer these questions via usertalk (easiest), or via email (for a modicum of privacy).
how to submit your answers , estimated time required: 2 minutes |
|---|
Processing of responses will be performed in batches of ten, prior to publication in the Signpost. GamerPro64 will be processing the email-based answers, and will strive to maintain the privacy of your answers (as well as your email address and the associated IP address typically found in the email-headers), though of course as a volunteer effort, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will have a system free from computer virii, we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will resist hypothetical bribes offered by the KGB/NSA/MI6 to reveal your secrets, and we cannot legally guarantee that GamerPro64 will make no mistakes. If you choose to answer on-wiki, your answers will be visible to other Wikipedians. If you choose to answer via email, your answers will be sent unencrypted over the internet, and we will do our best to protect your privacy, but unencrypted email is inherently an improper mechanism for doing so. Sorry! :-) |
We do promise to try hard, not to make any mistakes, in the processing and presentation of your answers. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact column-editor GamerPro64, copy-editor 75.108.94.227, or copy-editor Ryk72. Thanks for reading, and thanks for helping Wikipedia.
