The Gizmos

[edit]

Although the 1970s Indiana rock group is in Wikipedia as "The Gizmos", a variety of contemporary sources, including All Music Guide, Trouser Press, and (I believe) the record sleeves in the 1970s indicated the group's name was actually "Gizmos". Now the CD is sold as being by "The Gizmos" but the name the group had when actually together seems more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.245.196 (talkcontribs) 14:30, July 11 2011

Decluttering the front page

[edit]

Would anyone mind if I decluttered the front page of this project? As it stands now, it doesn't seem very inviting for editors, and we could have more useful features eventually take their place. Ideas:

  • Move article requests to their own subpage. Some other state projects already do this. I would add a link to it under "Subpages"
  • Remove assessments-related things from the page and infobox (which has tiny text), as we already have an Assessments subpage to cover this.
  • Remove to dos from infobox - the text is tiny and we already have this on a subpage.
  • Remove Current Discussions (except requests which are moved) and Project Status, as this is very old info.
  • Add a couple useful features I've already added to WikiProject Kentucky's front page: "Current major backlogs" and "Past Week's Hot Edits".
  • Show WP Indiana's alerts like displayed at WP Kentucky.

Additional changes could come later, but these are my immediate thoughts for useful cleanup. Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas for changes. Stefen 𝕋owers among the rest! GabGruntwerk 20:51, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Need help with completing assessments

[edit]

WikiProject Indiana currently has 250 articles that are still not yet assessed with a rating. Can anyone reading this help with the effort to knock these out? Thanks! Stefen 𝕋ower's got the power!!1! GabGruntwerk 20:56, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To follow up, I've done 74 so far and we're up to 99% assessed. Still could use some help, with 176 pages left to assess. Stefen 𝕋ower's got the power!!1! GabGruntwerk 08:43, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
99.5% now assessed with 100 pages left to go. Stefen 𝕋ower's got the power!!1! GabGruntwerk 22:33, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
99.8% now assessed with 40 pages left to go. Stefen 𝕋ower's got the power!!1! GabGruntwerk 20:55, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Done 100% of WP Indiana articles are now assessed for quality. Thanks to anyone who helped along the way. In a related bucket, we have nearly 3,500 articles not assessed for project importance.
