I'm acting as the technical adviser to a [[Amon Carter Museum of American Art|local museum]] which is planning to hold an edit-a-thon and one of the organizers, who are both WP newcomers, had seen a reference that someone with your RW name had a way of tracking edits or articles created at a 'thon. Was that you and if so, what was it? Any help you can provide will be much appreciated.

: [[User:TransporterMan|TransporterMan]], I recommend creating a Google form to collect the usernames and then running the usernames through [https://tools.wmflabs.org/magnustools/herding_sheep.php Herding Sheep]. There is also a very powerful analytics tool called [https://metrics.wmflabs.org Wikimetrics] though it is not all that user friendly.

::Just a comment that I too am going to be working on an editathon at a [[Montana Historical Society|local museum]] also! {{ping|TransporterMan}} I think your museum and mine have a mutual interest in the artwork of [[Charles Marion Russell|C.M. Russell]]. We should talk. I can also access the [[C. M. Russell Museum Complex]] on a day trip... hmm. I smell a collaboration idea...

WikiProject Women
Hi, I see you recently joined Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red. I've made a proposal to merge this project into Wikipedia:WikiProject Women at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red, so we can not only cover missing articles but focus on general quality of women's biographies. If interested please put your name down on the WP:Women page at the bottom.♦ Dr. Blofeld 09:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
WikiProject Women in Technology - Tech LadyMafia
Hi Harej, Apologies for the interruption. I was reading through the Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Technology page & noticed your comments beside the link to Tech LadyMafia. I would like to volunteer to make some improvements to the Article, and hopefully move it up from the current stub status. I am thinking that it would be good to have some information on the organisation's goals, methods, etc. And potentially an indication of the number of members. Would you have any sources that I should look at? I will, of course, do my own searching as well. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 00:58, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hello Ryk72! Unfortunately I don't know of any good sources off the top of your head. Best of luck writing the article. Harej (talk) 18:27, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Speaking of WikiProject Assessment
Did you know that this existed? I was unaware that there were assessment help scripts (been doing it manually for years, or with AWB). Sadads (talk) 13:25, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- If it was automatically paired with this gadget and deployed to all new users, with some information about WikiProjects, you would get an influx of people both able to participate, and aware of their existence :P Sadads (talk) 13:28, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- That exists along with a gadget User:Kaldari created. It is worth looking into creating a comprehensive WikiProject gadget for doing stuff. Harej (talk) 18:39, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
- Definitely within your scope :P Though thats another bit of work, isn't it :) Sadads (talk) 13:17, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

Tracking edit-a-thon edits
I'm acting as the technical adviser to a local museum which is planning to hold an edit-a-thon and one of the organizers, who are both WP newcomers, had seen a reference that someone with your RW name had a way of tracking edits or articles created at a 'thon. Was that you and if so, what was it? Any help you can provide will be much appreciated. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 21:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
- TransporterMan, I recommend creating a Google form to collect the usernames and then running the usernames through Herding Sheep. There is also a very powerful analytics tool called Wikimetrics though it is not all that user friendly. Harej (talk) 22:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Copyright violations module for wikiprojects
@Harej and Doc James:, as we discussed in Wikimania about wikiproject module for copyright violations, there is now infrastructure for getting the last suspected edits:
- using web API: http://tools.wmflabs.org/eranbot/plagiabot/api.py?action=suspected_diffs&project=wikipedia&lang=en&format=csv (format can be JSON or csv)
- using DB for tools running on WMF labs: s51306__copyright_p in enwiki.labsdb (databases with _p should be available with read rights for other tools). This is more powerful option, as you can join it with other relevant tables (categorylinks/templatelinks)
What do you think of creating a wikiproject module with top 5 or top 10 edits referring to this page? We can consider to try it in WikiMed project as "Eating your own dog food". Eran (talk) 19:05, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
