Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Cryptocurrency task force So I just did a overhaul to the main project page of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cryptocurrency like adding a orange-like color format to the page and made a userbox and a barnstar, but I'm now finding out there is a task force also for Cryptocurrency via Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Cryptocurrency task force. Was WikiProject Cryptocurrency approved through here instead of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals? Or did anyone here not know about WikiProject Cryptocurrency? Jerm (talk) 20:28, 19 December 2020 (UTC) I think we're very shorthanded and probably these things go unnoticed.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:03, 19 December 2020 (UTC) Yeah, and a lot of editors are becoming less active too. I had marked like three WikiProjects this year as inactive and others as semi. I actually just marked WikiProject Cryptocurrency to semi because there are only two members who are still active editors. Jerm (talk) 23:37, 19 December 2020 (UTC) Wikipedia:WikiProject Cryptocurrency is the "active" one. This task force is pretty much inactive so I marked it as Category:Inactive task forces. Coin (talk) 22:08, 20 December 2020 (UTC) I added the assessment table of the task force to the page of the wikiproject, but I'm not sure if the wikiproject has the same amount of articles assessed according to the task force assessment table. Jerm (talk) 03:58, 21 December 2020 (UTC) 200 euro note Hi. I noticed that 200 euro note (a Good Article) has an empty subsection (this one). This seems like something that can be easily fixed by someone with the right expertise, which is why I'm bringing it to your attention. Thanks! Lennart97 (talk) 15:17, 6 January 2021 (UTC) 1 yen note I need someone to copyedit this article for me. It took a few days but I feel enough information has been poured into the article to bump it up to a "B" rating. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 16:39, 30 January 2021 (UTC) Good article reassessment Please see Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Silver center cent/1 ---Another Believer (Talk) 21:50, 18 February 2021 (UTC) Talk:Coins_of_the_United_States_dollar Some bot keeps trashing the talk page of Talk:Coins_of_the_United_States_dollar can someone look into it? There is a new coin/bullion Morgan/Peace dollar coming out this year, and it may need to be added, but the bot keeps deleting the section to talk about how to add it to the page. shadzar-talk 12:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC) FAR for Order of St Patrick I have nominated Order of St Patrick for a featured article review here.

Z1720 (talk) 21:22, 31 March 2021 (UTC) Usage of coin colour templates Hello numisticians, I thought I'd drop this thought I had here for some initial feedback, before I go on and propose something more formal, as I know this is a passionately watched category of articles. The three templates used to add colour to tables of coinage (Template:Coin-copper-color, Template:Coin-yellow-color, and Template:Coin-silver-color) are all applied as per the numistics MOS, with entire rows being coloured (example taken from MOS): Prewar series - Regular issues (link to official page about this series if exists) Image Value Technical parameters Description Date of Obverse Reverse Diameter Thickness Mass Composition Edge Obverse Reverse first minting issue withdrawal 1 f 17.0 mm 1.0 mm 1.66 g Bronze 95% copper 4% tin 1% zinc Smooth "MAGYAR KIRÁLYSÁG", Holy Crown of Hungary, year of minting Indication of value, mintmark 1926 27 December 1926 31 December 1945 Couldn't we make it so that only the cells in the 'composition' column get the colour instead? This has two benefits, as I see it: The reader may be confused about why a row is seemingly arbitrarily coloured, but if it's just one cell, the contents of that single cell should make it very clear what the colour refers to I suspect minimising the use of coloured backgrounds will improve accessibility Here's what it could look like: Prewar series - Regular issues (link to official page about this series if exists) Image Value Technical parameters Description Date of Obverse Reverse Diameter Thickness Mass Composition Edge Obverse Reverse first minting issue withdrawal 1 f 17.0 mm 1.0 mm 1.66 g Bronze 95% copper 4% tin 1% zinc Smooth "MAGYAR KIRÁLYSÁG", Holy Crown of Hungary, year of minting Indication of value, mintmark 1926 27 December 1926 31 December 1945 I've made the above update 'manually', but I'd imagine the templates can be updated if there's consensus that this is a good idea. Any thoughts? EditorInTheRye (talk) 09:24, 6 June 2021 (UTC) EditorInTheRye You make some valid points, but one problem I see with your proposal is that it would be impossible to color rows for bi-metallic coins, such as the Canadian $2 coin. - ZLEA T\C 09:30, 6 June 2021 (UTC) ZLEA That's a good point, I hadn't thought of that, actually. It's doable, but I'll be the first to admit that editing this table (taken from the article you linked) was rather painful (but then again others may be more at ease with wikitable markup than I am)...

I support this idea. - ZLEA T\C 19:37, 6 June 2021 (UTC) Złoty or zloty? I'd appreciate it if some of you could have a look at Talk:Polish_złoty#Requested_move_10_September_2022 and maybe weigh in.

In addition, foreign words are usually italicised e.g. Reichswehr, Persilschein. However, on Wikipedia I kept coming across common coins such as the pfennig and mark in lower case and unitalicised. I've now done some research of the WP:RS and a pattern has emerged. It seems that the names of common coins such as the groschen, schilling, gulden and pfennig are effectively used as loanwords which is why they need not be capitalised or italicised. In addition, in English, we tend to use thaler (the old German spelling) and not taler; so that is definitely a loanword. Meanwhile the rest of the pack are usually treated as foreign words and capitalised: Dreiling, Scherf, Blaffert, Reichsthaler. My sense is that there is no need for this to be a rigid rule, but perhaps it's a useful general guide for editors.

It might be of interest to members of this project. Thriley (talk) 23:09, 7 February 2023 (UTC) I've moved it to draft, just like User:Onel5969 did. This is speculative and not ready for mainspace. This is better covered in Argentina–Brazil relations or Mercosur or even merged with Single South American currency rather than as a page on a hypothetical currency unit at this point.
