Hello! I'm an employee of the Doe Run Company, a Missouri-based natural resources company. I'm interested in updating the company's Wikipedia article. To start, I've suggested a handful of edits on the Talk page here. Would someone on this page be able to check out my ideas and make some of the changes? TS at Doe Run (talk) 18:09, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm an employee of The Doe Run Company and I'm here again as a representative of the company, which is based in St Louis. I have saved an expanded and updated draft here, and submitted an edit request on the article's talk page. My goals are to correct factual inaccuracies, source all content, and provide a more thorough overview of the company's operations, among others outlined in more detail in the edit request. Would someone from this page be able to give this a look over? TS at Doe Run (talk) 17:04, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any interest in adding Missouri to {{WikiProject United States}}? It seems like a useful template for regional articles that are of interest to many states. I'm working on some botany pages that span gulf states, and I'm hoping to not have to add separate banners for all six states that aren't in the template -Furicorn (talk) 07:59, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I rather like the separate format, but I'm quite open to others opinions. Grey Wanderer (talk) 16:21, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've been trying to sort out the township situation, which is rather a mess. I have updated civil township to accurately reflect that Missouri does have them, but List of townships in Missouri seems to be saying that every county has them, and has a lot more of them than (as I understand it) currently exist. Is there someone who can help with this, and find a historical perspective on the situation? Mangoe (talk) 17:15, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply. Every county does have them. However, they don’t usually have governing bodies or functions nowadays as in some states. I think they can have some function, but only in the most rural part of the state. In Boone County, with the urban center of Columbia, I can safely say 98%+ people don’t know they exists although I did create articles for them.

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The main reason for my post is to disclose my affiliation in attempting to update https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Joplin_Globe.

My name is Joe Hadsall, and I'm the digital editor for the Globe. Our entry is not quite accurate, regarding our history, but I don't want to start changing things around without checking to see your workflow for verification. I assume that copy-pasting from our About Us page (https://www.joplinglobe.com/site/about-us.html) would not exactly be kosher, but if it's as easy as that, I'll get to work.

Thanks for your feedback! ~joe jhadsall@joplinglobe.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoeHadsall (talk • contribs) 23:49, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not so sure how active this project is anymore, but maybe this'll get some attention. A large number of small place stubs for locations in Missouri are based off of GNIS, which isn't a great source for determining if a location would meet the legally recognized community standard of WP:GEOLAND. For examples Yolo, Missouri was a post office that had a stub created from a GNIS misidentification, Dilday Mill, Missouri was a GNIS error where it recognized Dilday Mill as a town, and there are many more like this. This from the Missouri State Historical Society is a good resource identifying the old history of points. While it's sometimes unclear exactly what something formerly was, the MSHS source is pretty good overall. Remember, GEOLAND only gives free passes to legally recognized populated places, everything else must pass WP:GNG. I've been trying to do some cleanup, but it's a big task, and there's only so much I can do at a time. Besides the MSHS source, there's also this database of old topo maps, which generally shows population points. The topos have their limitations, but the small-scale ones mark individual buildings, which helps determine if something was a town or a farm. Most of the states seem to have these non-notable stubs that are basically spurious entries, at the California WikiProjecct has a whole task force: Wikipedia:WikiProject California/GNIS cleanup task force. Is there any interest in creating a similar task force for Missouri cleanup? Hog Farm _Bacon 04:30, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First Battle of Newtonia Historic District, Mathew H. Ritchey House, and Second Battle of Newtonia Site are all project-related GAs in the same little area (all on NRHP too). All three could use a site image; if anyone here's got some photos of the Newtonia sites, if you could upload them to Commons and add them to the respective articles, that would be much appreciated.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
