[edit] Article alerts

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

[edit] Adding article about SWARL

SWARL is Short Wave Amateur Radio Listening club. It is based in Yahoo groups, to be precise, here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SWARL/ According to that groups front page we also have a website http://swarl.org There is also old outdated website that we are trying to close now, and which reffered the most when the one makes search for SWARL in google. The url of the old site (if anyone interested): http://www.members.shaw.ca/SWARL/

Our club is over 700 members around the world and it is rapidly growing. The listed sites are our sources, and I dont know how reliable they are for Wikipedia but our article was removed from here. Removal decision was made on basis of non reliable sources. I dont understand though what else more reliable could we, as club, provide, then our own website.

My question here is it possible for article about our club to join the amateur radio project? if so, what do we need to do? Brack11 (talk) 22:18, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

WP requires reliable sources other than your own site writing about itself, preferably 3rd party independent sources of a non trivial nature. Some examples might be an article in an established electronics magazine or ham radio journal about your organization. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:07, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Are there enough articles on Wikipedia to justify an Outline of amateur radio?

Here's a discussion about subject development you might find interesting.

[edit] four square antenna

The four square (disambiguation) page mentions that "four square" may refer to a kind of antenna. Alas, it currently lacks a link to the appropriate article about that antenna. I would have already fixed that lack, but I couldn't figure out which kind of antenna is the "four square" antenna:

• the Adcock antenna
• the turnstile antenna
• the quad antenna
• the AWX antenna
• the Alford Loop (from Andrew Alford)

Which one is "the" four square antenna? --68.0.124.33 (talk) 04:31, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

A few seconds with Google yielded a large number of useful sites - some that caught my eye are: ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]} It's phased array of four 1/4 wave vertical antennas placed at the corners of a square with the sides measuring 1/4 wavelength. In South Africa they are commonly seen on police vehicles fitted with stolen vehicle tracking devices that operate on a UHF frequency, so they are not only used by hams on HF.
