Parks of Quito

There existed two pages describing the same parc. To prevent such situation, let's decide if we use English or Spanish names. Xx236 (talk) 11:28, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

By using the park infobox both the native name and the name in English should be used. With regards to the title of the article it should probably be the name in spanish.

Example Parque Carolina

Just a reminder when creating a Park for Quito don't forget to add the respective category: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Parks_in_Quito HarveyPrototype (talk) 16:26, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Project Importance Scale Required

On the project page ther is no Project importance Scale. I suggest we work together in creating a Project importance scale for the Ecuador project. As an example I am attaching the importance scale for the Retail Project

WikiProject article importance scheme
v
t
e
Importance	Criteria	Example
Top	This article is of the utmost importance to the project, as it provides key information about a major topic that is fundamental to a study of the subject. Core topics about retailing. Generally, these topics are sub-articles of the main Retailing article, vital for the understanding of retail or extremely notable to people outside of the retail field. Articles of this importance should be general, broad retailing concepts and multinational retail companies	Department store, Walmart
High	This article is very important to the project, as it covers either a general area of knowledge or provides information about a significant topic. Deeper, but still general concepts of retail, national chains that have little to no importance outside their country.	Credit, Target Corporation
Mid	This article is relatively important to the project, as it provides more specific knowledge of areas that a serious reader would need to understand. High profile individuals and regional chains that are very notable within the field of retail, and well-known outside of it, and can be reasonably expected to be included in any print encyclopedia.	Robert E. Wood, Boscov's
Low	This article is significant but has limited importance to the project, as it expands the reader's overall knowledge of the subject into areas of general interest. Topics of individuals (but not high profile) who worked in retail, specific store locations, small shops (one or two).	Edward A. Brennan, Sears, Roebuck and Company Department Store (Washington, D.C.)
Bottom	Subject is of the lowest level of relevance or significance to its field of study. This article has no real significance to the project, but it covers additional topics of general or specific interest, some of which could be described as trivia, though all are notable in their own right. Others may be articles of high importance to another project that have an indirect connection with retail. The category was created by the WikiProject to counter-balance "top importance" and to place "mid-importance" into the actual middle. In addition it serves to separate trivia from articles of low but significant importance. Articles should be otherwise obscure retail trivia (like unopened stores) and articles that are tangentially related to retail.	Auschwitz Supermarket
NA	Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc.	Category:Retailing
???	Subject importance has not yet been assessed.	???

This is the importance Scheme that I suggest. I'll keep it up for a couple of weeks for voting and suggestions.

Importance	Criteria	Example
Top	This article is of the utmost importance to the project, as it provides key information about a major topic that is fundamental to a study of Ecuador. Core topics about Ecuador, generally these topics are sub-articles of the main Ecuador article, vital for understanding the country or extremely notable to people outside of Ecuador. Articles of this importance should be general, broad concepts and multinational entities	Ecuador, Quito,Galapagos Islands
High	This article is very important to the project, as it covers either a general area of knowledge or provides information about a significant topic. Important cultural, historical, or political topics, notable national figures, and institutions that have significant influence within Ecuador.	Ecuadorian cuisine, National Assembly of Ecuador, Presidents of Ecuador
Mid	This article is relatively important to the project, as it provides more specific knowledge of areas that a serious reader would need to understand. Notable regional topics, local figures with significant influence, and prominent regional institutions or landmarks.	Manta, Universities of Ecuador
Low	This article is significant but has limited importance to the project, as it expands the reader's overall knowledge of the subject into areas of general interest. Topics of lesser-known local figures, specific locations, and smaller institutions.	minor political parties, local festivals
Bottom	Subject is of the lowest level of relevance or significance to its field of study. This article has no real significance to the project, but it covers additional topics of general or specific interest, some of which could be described as trivia, though all are notable in their own right. This category is meant to balance "top importance" and place "mid-importance" in the actual middle. It also separates trivia from articles of low but significant importance.	Obscure local traditions, minor events, articles tangentially related to Ecuador.
NA	Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc.	Category:Ecuador
???	Subject importance has not yet been assessed.	???

Developing Countries WikiContest

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.

Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.

Ecuador is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted to the contest. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!

Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Ecuador:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

The DCWC is back!

WikiProject Ecuador, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page, use the {{@DCWC coordinators}} template, or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).
