Could someone have a look at the several Bermuda Militias articles. It seems like some merging is in order but I'm unfamiliar with the topic.

Bermuda- does not equal "Barbados".CaribDigita (talk)01:49, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Based on a search of Wikipedia's articles related to Barbados, I've found some articles that I believe are about places in Barbados, and could usefully havegeographical coordinates added.
The articles in question are listed inCategory:Barbados 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 36 articles in this category needing geographical 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 asGoogle 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.
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 existinginfobox. You can find out how to do this at theWikipedia:Geocoding how-to for WikiProject members. Please let me know if this is useful, or if you have any questions! --The Anome (talk)09:35, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the newWikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. —Delievered by§hepBot (Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at04:54, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I am trying to fill this article out with the Barbados broadcaster of the games. Any information and links would be helpful!Intoronto1125TalkContributions01:13, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Due tocommons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Flag of Barbados 1958.png (apparently the flag depicted was incorrect), afew dozen pages which invoke {{flag|Barbados|1958}} are now broken. Ithink the fix is to simply use the 1885 flag in all cases (i.e. replace with {{flag|Barbados|1885}})? If someone can confirm that's correct, I'll make the fixes and then getTemplate:Country data Barbados updated to remove the reference to the 1958 flag.

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links tounreliable sources andpredatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from{{cite web}},{{cite journal}} and{{doi}}.
The script is mostly based onWP:RSPSOURCES,WP:NPPSG andWP: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 isnot a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available atUser:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made atUser talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Hello all. Just over from the cricket project. I'm wondering any project members here who live in Barbados would be kind enough to take some photos of the cricket groundslisted here - they have all hosted major matches. Thanks in advance,StickyWicket (talk)11:28, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines atWikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recentVillage 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 decides 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.Aymatth2 (talk)20:19, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
