How is the best way to go about requesting a new spoken article that will get the most attention in hopes someone will create one? The written article in question already has a spoken article but it's from 2010, so obviously the article in question has changed a lot since then. As such I don't think it would fall under a spoken article request, as this seems to be for pages that don't already have a spoken version (although I may be wrong here so clarification would be helpful). Also, the original uploader has been inactive on Wikipedia and other related projects for years, so I can't ask them to make a new version, nor do I think I'm comfortable recording myself. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Helper201 (talk) 04:55, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When reading an article and assuming the article has one, how should someone address the see also section and should it (alongside similar categories like references and external links) be read when listing the sections/contents of an article? Atamanashi (talk) 04:48, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that someone removed Spoken Wikipedia from an article due to "Outdated file (from 2010)". Is this a valid reason to remove Spoken Wikipedia from an article? Is there a wider effort to remove these old audio recordings, as opposed to updating them or adding notices/categories/requests to have them updated?
The file in question is here: File:En-4chan-article.oga. The beginning of the recording clearly states the date it was recorded, so even if someone goes straight to listening to the file and doesn't read the file page, listeners would still be aware that the file is outdated.
My personal opinion is that removing outdated content is counter-productive, as leaving content there with a notice or category is much more likely to result in the content being updated, whereas removing it may result in the article never having that content again. However, 2010 is very old, and this is the first time I have encountered a removal of Spoken Wikipedia, so I'm not totally sure what to do here. Heddy10 (talk) 23:36, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, I'm not okay with introducing a new WikiProject as "one-editor" WikiProject – it's new and many if not most new WikiProjects started with one editor. The audios have around 7000 plays now despite that they currently aren't embedded in ENWP. Human-spoken audios are great but approaching only 2000 of >6 million (and many of these outdated by a decade). If anybody here would like to participate in this project and needs help with the setup or the audio-creation process, just let me know and I'll help you out.
