Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Meta refresh

Meta refresh

Initial tasks:

• Go through all the open Cleanup Taskforce issues.
• Find issues that are waiting for double-checking to be closed; double-check them and close as appropriate.
• Find isses that have not been touched for 30 days or more, and reassign them to a different taskforce member. (Preferably someone who has expressed interest in the subject, has room on their queue, and is an active editor.)

Updates:

• Initial assignment to User:Randy_Johnston/Desk. -- Beland 03:15, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I completed Round 1 of the meta refresh by removing all entries that were submitted before May from the main page and moving it to the closed page that I thought have made a significant improvement since they were submitted. I also changed the templates on the talk pages to the closed mode. --Randy 02:21, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Round 2 and 3 completed by properly closing items that were completed through May. Also, the main WP:TASK page was cleaned and not necessary things were removed. All of the items submitted before May 15th still need to be given to another user's desk. Randy Johnston 19:29, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Passing on to User:Linuxbeak/Desk. Please try to get all tasks submitted before June either completed or deemed closed. Thanks! We seem to have some members who have just forgot about their CT duties. --Randy 22:02, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

• I have just closed everything that was finished in April, May, or June, and left notes on people's talk pages where they haven't done anything in over 30 days. After a reasonable amount of time, if people don't respond to personal messages, they can be marked as inactive members and their tasks reassigned. -- Beland 06:37, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Assignment backlog

There is now a backlog of articles to be assigned. I started in on them, but I have a lot of things on my plate at the moment, and I could use some help. The first to be assigned should probably be the ones already listed here. But it's worth noting that there are 618 articles under Category:Cleanup by month from 2004 alone, which is more than enough to fill everyone's desk to capacity. I think it would actually be a good idea to do that. The fact that some people don't have anything to work on probably means we are losing out on harnessing their volunteer energy.

• Added to User:Trevor macinnis/Desk, User:Andreww/Desk, and User:Tony Sidaway/Desk, since there's a lot of work to be done. -- Beland 04:38, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

• • Did a little work a while ago. Removing from my desk as I can't devote enough time to this project. - Trevor MacInnis(Talk | Contribs) 15:25, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

mid-October

There is no longer much of a backlog of tasks needing to be assigned, but we have been working on some tasks for rather a long time. I think it is worth keeping this meta-task open so that we can avoid the development of a big queue and keep things moving along.

I don't think it is sensible to keep this task on any desk for so long so I am assigning it to User:RJFJR's desk - but would be happy to take it back at a later date if needed. As of now this task is therfore on the desks of User:Tony Sidaway and User:RJFJR. Have fun! Andreww 05:35, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
