This week's article for improvement (week 42, 2023)

 * Aha! Thanks.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 11:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Bold, Revert, Discuss
Hi, I wanted to remind you how the BRD cycle works. You boldly added a dictionary definition of "Ahaaha" to Ahaaha Rocks here and here; you were then reverted. I appreciate you opening a talk page discussion, however WP:BRD very specifically states that you must not restore your bold edit until you have reached an agreement. I'm happy to discuss, so I would encourage you to join the talk page discussion and work to address the concerns that have been raised. Repeatedly reinstating your bold edit without doing so is disruptive. –dlthewave ☎ 15:02, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Apparently it is you who needs the reminder as to the application of WP:BRD. Indeed, you reverted me first.  It is a question of what is the status quo. See you at Ahaaha rocks, the article's talk page.  Which is where this discussion belongs. Cheers.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 15:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Just a heads up, I opened an RfC here. I respect your opinon but I think we're talking past each other and the discussion would benefit from more community-wide input. I tried to use a recent version of the Etymology section, please let me know if you think this fairly represents what you'd like to include. –dlthewave ☎ 19:31, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I just came here to give you a gentle reminder about ONUS, but see it is already under discussion. Per WP:ONUS, You should not be restoring challenged content before it has an editor consensus. BRD is an optional process but ONUS is a core policy. The challenge itself is enough to show that the material is not uncontroversial. Now we have an RFC but I would encourage you to note the snowy nature of the consensus on that, and not wait for its closure. You may remove the challenged content at any point.

 * You are carrying coals to Newcastle.
 * Hope you feel better for all that.
 * I understood what happened at the talk page. Can't change that. It is wrong, but it exists.  You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. Oh well.  7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 11:28, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello 7&#38;6&#61;thirteen:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

I was hoping that WP:ITN got it on the main page for today's Hash Bash. Presumably it will be a memorial to him, in part. Didn't work out. Given the bureaucracy there, this is not surprising. 36,646 pageviews so far. Not bad. I am still hoping for it to be up by the time his memorial happens.

ITN recognition for Louis Gossett Jr.

 * You did it! Congratulations, - I was about to check if the final cn requests were fulfilled ;) - I had to deal with several giants this year (Ozawa, Reimann, Pollini, Eötvös), each keeping me busy for days. I was so moved that the sentence about a Pollini concert I had heard (so entered the sentence) was the last activity mentioned before his death. Now two RD are waiting, but I'll stubbornly work on my next GA, - have to because I nominated before it was ready, to make it on my friend's birthday. My story today is also about a performance I heard, - I wish him a long life! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:58, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

 * my pleasure! - I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:05, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

May music
Today's story mentions a concert I loved to hear (DYK) and a piece I loved to sing in choir, 150 years old (OTD). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Today's story is about Samuel Kummer, one of five items on the Main page - more musing on my talk --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Colman2000 (talk) is wishing you a Happy 4th of July! On this day, we recognize our independence from Great Britain with the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, which ultimately paved the way to our freedom. Celebrate this day in many different ways, such as hosting a barbecue, watching baseball games, or even attending a fireworks show! Happy Independence Day, fellow American!
