FAR nomination

I have nominated German occupation of Luxembourg during World War I for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Z1720 (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After successfully completing our Asia and Africa contests over the past six months, we now welcome contributions to our Women in Europe contest which runs for three separate months from April to June 2021. To qualify for the contest, articles have to contain at least 160 words or 1,000 characters of running text and participants need to be members of Women in Red. We look forward to lots of new biographies of women from Luxembourg.--Ipigott (talk) 06:48, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has requested for Greater Region to be merged into Greater Region of SaarLorLux.

User script to detect unreliable sources

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.

Project-independent quality assessments

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.

Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919

Hello! I am working on multiple articles regarding the Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919 and I could uses some help. If anyone knows any good sources I could uses I need all the help I can get. I have made the following articles.

Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919

I have some questions about the events if anyone knows the answer.

What units were involved in stopping the Luxembourg Rebellion 1918
Did the Luxembourg Corps of Gendarmes remain loyal to the government in the 1919 rebellion
Who commanded the Luxembourg Army during this?
Did any other countries help luxembourg?
What was the casualty count of these rebellions?

Thanks for your time and I can uses all the help I can get for this project! LuxembourgLover (talk) 02:52, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The articles are up for merging so I could uses help defending them. LuxembourgLover (talk) 15:25, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CANVASSING? The Banner talk 16:12, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per the discussion you said ask projects to help. LuxembourgLover (talk) 16:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, I did not. You wanted to ask advice on another Wikiproject and hoped that you would take their advice on board. The Banner talk 23:05, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I asked a WikiProject that is about the events. I think the Luxembourg WikiProject will be interested in the Luxembourg Rebellions of 1918-1919. If it was a major event this WikiProject would be helpful. LuxembourgLover (talk) 16:52, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fueskichelcher/Verwurelter

Hi! Wanted to make this wikiproject aware I am currently working on an article on the pastry fueskichelcher (or verwurelter), if any user had anything to contribute. Also, if anyone can confirm whether or not there is a difference (I don't see any, and no website mentions both) that would be great. Cheers!

Transport Articles about Luxembourg - we should also work on this

Hello/Moien! Luxembourgish transport nerd here. I noticed that our articles for railway stations, big bus depots/stops (Hamilius/Luxexpo) are either stubs or do not exist. Over the next month or two I will be heavily editing these articles. Expect a lot. If you want to help with photos and all, feel free to do so. I am starting with the revamp of all stations' articles that are on the CFL Line 60. Below, you will find the list. Each station will be separated into 3 phases of development: research & basic info, facts and backstory and finally some extra info, if applicable.

Differdange Gare (1/3)
Oberkorn Gare - to do
Niederkorn Gare - to do
Pétange Gare - to do
Rodange Gare - to do
Lamadelaine Gare - to do
Belval-Université Gare - researching
Belval-Rédange Gare - trying to find a way to update it
Belval-Lycée - in process of research
Noertzange - to do
Berchem - to do
Howald - taking photos soon
Gare Centrale - will add more info and more photos
Bettembourg - finding a way to write it
Hamilius - taken photos, will create an article
Luxexpo - same story as Hamilius
Kirchberg-Pafendall Gare - to do
Gare Centrale Routiére - will create an article or maybe a section?

May have missed out on some stations, but they will all be coming and I will update the TICE, RGTR, Sales-Lentz and Emile-Weber articles.

I will try to work, please reply if you have any suggestions, photos and/or you would like to help me.

Have a nice day, keep editing :) Atharva210 (talk) 19:41, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

French translation help

As there are a lot of French speakers here and as it affects this country's political history, this seems as good a place as any to ask. How would you translate "christianisme social" and similar terms "les chretiens-sociaux"? Examples:

"...les trois grandes familles spirituelles de notre pays : le christianisme social, le libéralisme et le socialisme"
"La voie d'un rapprochement avec la tendance chrétienne-sociale de la droite s'esquisse"
".... P. Dupong, l'un des fondateurs du christianisme-social de chez nous"

Christian socialism does NOT seem to be the right term at all, as the CSV is many things but not socialist. Other authors often just translate "les chretiens-sociaux" into English as "the CSV", which seems cheating a bit. "Christian democracy" / Christian-democratic might fit, but also doesnt feel right somehow... Dr Gangrene (talk) 18:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

very late response but I think People's Christian Democratic Party? Not sure again, can't translate complete, I am horrendous at that. Atharva210 (talk) 20:40, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
