Pending requests
 * A script to reload feeds automatically

 * Twinkle's Morebits library added a new  class to replace the moment library. It can handle custom formatting and natural language for dates, as well as section header regexes. If you were using   or   with   objects, those have been deprecated and should be updated.
 * User:SD0001/find-archived-section was made a gadget. You can enable it from your gadget preferences, in the Browsing section.

Hope everyone stays safe. --DannyS712 (talk) 20:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

My article
Thanks for your feedback about my Draft article about Ms. Sarah Pilot. I was told several months ago by a different Wikipedia Editor that this article is about a person who is not important- the Editor did not provide any rationale for how to determine if someone is important or not. So I never followed up with the article. Looks like Wikipedia super power Editors now decide what on earth is important and what is not important. That’s a shame.

 * You're misunderstanding the reviewers. They review articles as per the Wikipedia's notability guidelines, which were approved by community consensus, not by a single editor. -- CptViraj (Emoji u1f4e7.svg) 03:05, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Taipei Red Lions crest and mascot
Dear CptViraj,

why are you trying to delete Taipei Red Lions F.C Crest? The files belong to me and is not violating any copyrights. I also already sent an email to wikipedia commmons for the image authorization. I wish wikipedia allows this team to have its crest and mascot as other teams in this encyclopedia.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaoTaiwan (talk • contribs) 06:17, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice
Hi, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, (talk) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:35, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
