Assessment log - Worklist

The WikiProject Engineering assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Engineering articles.

Assessments are performed via parameters in the {{Engineering}} project banner which is posted to an article's talk page.

An assessment parameter (FA, GA, B, Start, or Stub) causes the article to be rated and grouped

Collaboration

[edit]

The Engineering Collaboration of the week seeks to identify particular articles that would benefit from a significant collaborative effort. Every week, a single article is selected as the focus, and the project attempts to improve it, potentially to featured article standards.

Any articles dealing with some aspect of Engineering (except for current featured articles and featured article candidates) are eligible, and everyone is invited to nominate articles.

The current Engineering Collaboration of the Week is: Engineering

Peer review

[edit]

The peer review department of WikiProject Engineering conducts peer review of articles on request. The primary objective is to encourage better articles by having contributors who may not have worked on articles to examine them and provide ideas for further improvement.

The peer review process is highly flexible and can deal with articles of any quality; however, requesting reviews on very short articles may not be productive, as there is little for readers to comment on.

All reviews are conducted by fellow editors—usually members of WikiProject Engineering. While there is a general intent to expand this process to allow for review by subject experts, the preparations for this are not yet complete.

Requested images

[edit]
Wikimedia Commons has media related to Engineering.

The Requested images department aims to provide a collection of high-quality photographs, maps and images for use in Engineering articles. The department gathers existing public domain and free-license maps as well as creating new ones from other materials where no suitable maps can be found. All project members are welcome to request additional maps that may be needed for particular articles from the department.

Wikimedia Commons has images of the engineering field. Many of these photos would make useful additions to many of our articles here which may be lacking adequate illustrations. Please see the Commons categories at right, or try searching on Commons since many images available there are not properly categorized yet.

Outreach

[edit]

The Outreach department acts as the project's central point of coordination for recruiting new members and maintaining the interest of current participants.

New articles

[edit]

Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them, are at least over 1,000 characters, don't have any dispute templates on them, and cite their sources, should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Wikipedia Main Page.

If you would like to request the creation of a particular article, please post in the requests section.

This list was generated from these rules. Questions and feedback are always welcome! The search is being run daily with the most recent ~14 days of results. Note: Some articles may not be relevant to this project.

Categorization

[edit]

The root category for this WikiProject is Category:Engineering. Both the root categorty and its associated subcategories should be tagged with {{Engineering category}}.

Please note that the major category, Category:Engineering, should be reserved for articles about disciplines of engineering, respectively, while specific individual engineering companies, engineers, concepts, etc. should be listed in the appropriate subcategories.

Next, please ensure that it has the correct engineering type categories (one or more, in some cases). Here are some major categories for engineering:

The main engineering categories

We also have a category for the project itself, Category:WikiProject Engineering.

Issues of ongoing concern

[edit]

Please report vandalism, copyright violations, addition of unsourced material and edit-warring to engineering articles here:

(One remark)

  • The article Direct metal deposition has been AfD nominated as is non sourced.(but here is a source I have just found on a PDF [1] ) This is a registered trade mark, so really ought, I think, be redirected to Selective laser sintering. The technique it depends on however is call Direct laser powder deposition and I don't seem to be able to find that. So maybe that needs a mention. I am out of date on this technology. In my day, we had to make do with spaying metal or carbides through a plasma arc.--Aspro (talk) 17:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Please consider adding these articles to your watchlist, to help in reverting the ongoing vandalism which is certain to resume once semi-protection expires. Even during the period of semi-protection, some articles continue to be vandalized by recently registered accounts. Consider reporting users who chronically vandalize articles to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.

If you find any other articles within the scope of this project which are being heavily vandalized (as a rough standard, over 10 vandals per day, or continual vandalism for several days such that the last 50+ edits are all vandalism and reverts, or 10+ vandalism / revert edits in 30 minutes), please report them at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection and add them to the list above.

More articles or pages in need of attention could be found here at Category:Unreferenced Engineering articles and Category:Engineering articles needing attention.

Requests

[edit]

Please direct assessment requests to Wikipedia:WikiProject Engineering/Assessment#Requesting an assessment.

Please add any other requests related to the project and material within its scope below:


There doesn't appear to be an article on rated power. According to LEO, the German equivalent is "Nennleistung", and this has a long article in the German Wikipedia: de:Nennleistung. Joriki (talk) 13:18, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about Power rating? Would Rated power deserve a redirect?-- Nczempin (talk) 10:44, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
 Done. added interwiki and redirect. -- Nczempin (talk) 10:55, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Cam_follower article is very difficult for a general reader. It also has no pictures. I've read it a few times and I still don't know what a Cam follower is all about.
Just to be clear, this is a device to produce clean steam, ie [2]. Derek Andrews (talk) 13:17, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • There does not appear to be an engineering-focused article on the general concept(s) of sources and sinks. I'm a geographer with broad scientific/mathematical experience and NOT an engineer, but I think the public should be able to get an understanding of these important ideas beyond their use in ecology as discussed in Source–sink dynamics. Lee De Cola (talk) 18:51, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • I take an original or historical view, that source and sink are originally about Flow (fluid) and later were applied metaphorically. This suggest that, instead of a redirect to a hydraulic science article, it should be a broad rather than deep discussion of fluid flow, including source and sink and especially their metaphorical adaptations, as in electricity and ecology.
