Having trouble with someone who has had this article deleted once and is trying to do it again. The article is being deleted as "an eminently non-notable football ground". It's the home ground of the Oxford University rugby union team and thus comes under this Wikiproject (among others). It has also hosted international rugby union matches in the past. (See Iffley_Road_rugby_football_ground]]. Please vote.[[User:GordyB|GordyB]] ([[User talk:GordyB|talk]]) 20:09, 19 May 2014 (UTC) |

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.
Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Various Oxford student societies PRODed
See Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Oxford/Article alerts, in case it's not on your watchlist. I don't know whether any of them are worth trying to save but other people here may be able to find third-party references showing notability. BencherliteTalk 12:37, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- A tough job, I suspect. One might justify rolliing them all up into Student societies of Oxford University, otherwise they could be summarized in the main article. Johnbod (talk) 13:42, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. The Change Ringers are probably notable, but I'll have to dig out some historic references. Jonathan A Jones (talk) 17:37, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Navbox on category pages
The navbox {{University of Oxford}} appears at the top of several Oxford categories where it is an obstacle.[1] At most it should be hidden in that location with a visitor option to "show".
--P64 (talk) 23:41, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
- Personally, I don't think the navbox is particularly necessary in categories, but it adds another means of navigation and in some cases it's been there for at least six years without apparent problem. It can always be collapsed by using {{University of Oxford |state=collapsed}} if you prefer to have "show" rather than "hide" at the top. BencherliteTalk 23:51, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Notification: Featured Article Review for Stephen Hawking
There are some serious deficiencies which several users have identified in the Stephen Hawking article which was promoted to FA status earlier this year after an FAC that wasn't rigorous. Please feel free to comment and contribute to the debate at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Stephen Hawking/archive1 on whether this article should be delisted and what work needs to be done.--ColonelHenry (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
Popular pages tool update
As of January, the popular pages tool has moved from the Toolserver to Wikimedia Tool Labs. The code has changed significantly from the Toolserver version, but users should notice few differences. Please take a moment to look over your project's list for any anomalies, such as pages that you expect to see that are missing or pages that seem to have more views than expected. Note that unlike other tools, this tool aggregates all views from redirects, which means it will typically have higher numbers. (For January 2014 specifically, 35 hours of data is missing from the WMF data, which was approximated from other dates. For most articles, this should yield a more accurate number. However, a few articles, like ones featured on the Main Page, may be off).
Web tools, to replace the ones at tools:~alexz/pop, will become available over the next few weeks at toollabs:popularpages. All of the historical data (back to July 2009 for some projects) has been copied over. The tool to view historical data is currently partially available (assessment data and a few projects may not be available at the moment). The tool to add new projects to the bot's list is also available now (editing the configuration of current projects coming soon). Unlike the previous tool, all changes will be effective immediately. OAuth is used to authenticate users, allowing only regular users to make changes to prevent abuse. A visible history of configuration additions and changes is coming soon. Once tools become fully available, their toolserver versions will redirect to Labs.
If you have any questions, want to report any bugs, or there are any features you would like to see that aren't currently available on the Toolserver tools, see the updated FAQ or contact me on my talk page. Mr.Z-bot (talk) (for Mr.Z-man) 05:32, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Oxford Bodleian
Hi! Is it possible to get a scan of a rare work, held on Oxford Library: http://solo.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/dlDisplay.do?vid=OXVU1&docId=oxfaleph015119309 I cannot get it anywhere else, so I hope you can help me, or you know anyone, who can help.
