Countdown:Recap checking project

From Countdown
Revision as of 17:58, 6 December 2007 by Reams (talk | contribs) (→‎Series 54: done Paul Howe's run)

I thought those of us working on this project could benefit from a centralised location to identify ourselves, discuss stuff and generally do team bonding. So here it is.

92.4% completed
7,910 checked of 8,563 recaps


New data

The first set of Jim's data (for Series 51) has been uploaded: see Recent Changes. This data contains very few mistakes, but we should still check it carefully against the original recap. It does contain some omissions, including:

  • DC's words (I've starred all words by default - remove the stars as appropriate.)
  • Numbers solutions (from contestants and CV)
  • Conundrum times.
  • Tea-time teasers.

This should be added in, as far as the original recap allows (a lot of the TTTs are lost, which is not too tragic really.) Feel free to add questions or comments below. Series 52 - 56 should follow before the week is out. Soo 12:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Series 52 and 53 are up. Dumper 12:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Series 54, 55 and 56 are up. Dumper 14:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
You can see a list of potential errors flagged by the dumper here. Once the octochamp runs are done, fixing these is probably top priority. Soo 15:18, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Series 57 (up to the end of November) is up. Dumper 21:35, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Uploaded lots of contestant pages. List of contestants without episode tables coming soon. Dumper 18:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Inserted lots of TTTs, although not many of the clues. Dumper 18:17, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Overview

Our aim is complete, correct rounds for every possible episode. This is equivalent to emptying Category:Unchecked recaps and all its subcategories. Since this is 1018 articles, it is obviously a long-term project. The first priority is to clear articles in the root category, because these are mostly done already and we can make rapid progress through them.

Correcting mistakes in existing rounds is fairly straightforward, but for full details of our house style and handling of tricky points (like misdeclarations), see our style guide.

I suggest the following rough priorities. (For a complete list, see below.)

I also suggest working from most recent to oldest, especially because it's quite hard to check the words for the oldest ones.

People

The following people (at least) are working on the recap checking project:-

Points of discussion

Bug notice

Some of the episode pages are coming up blank. If you edit the page, you'll see that all the text is there but for some reason doesn't appear. The page can be edited as normal and will fix itself as soon as it is saved. Soo 15:37, 22 September 2007 (BST)

Style guide

We need one! Both to ensure consistency amongst ourselves, and make it easier for new people to join in. Anyone want to write one? Soo 13:49, 19 September 2007 (BST)

Notation for misdeclarations

How do we indicate words disallowed due to being misdeclared? The usual ☓ is likely to cause confusion. Soo 13:49, 19 September 2007 (BST)
