WP:AFC Helper News
Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest. Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:00, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
 * The template db-afc-move has been created - this template is similar to db-move when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello Gorden 2211:

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) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Another Draft?
Hi Gorden,

Thanks for helping me with Lumina Shanghai in AfC. I have another draft also in line, at Draft:The Grove, Harrow School. It has previously been declined twice because of notability and sources, per recommendations, I have changed the article to be about the building that makes it notable enough under WP:GEOFEAT as it is a Grade II listed building, and also added multiple primary and secondary sources. Could you possibly review that? Thanks a lot. Daftation 🗩 🖉 19:34, 8 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Do you have any information on why it is heritage listed? That would be great. Gorden 2211 (talk) 23:40, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well to be honest, we cannot really know why… Listed means its been chosen by the government as an important historical building that should be protected. Under WP:GEOFEAT all listed buildings are notable. Daftation 🗩 🖉 06:29, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Lots of your sources are related to the school, and as I typically don't edit articles related to the UK, so I'm not too sure on it right now. Typically in Australian heritage aritcles there's a section on why it has been listed (which would make approval much easier). Gorden 2211 (talk) 01:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
