User talk:Innisfree987

Hello! Thanks for dropping by. Currently my on-wiki availability is limited. With that in mind, I ask that paid contributors seek help elsewhere. Fellow volunteers are welcome to leave a message, but if you need assistance sooner than I can offer it, the help desk or the Teahouse are good bets for a quick reply. Happy editing!

Re: Mary Chilvers Draft
Thank you SO much for your helpful insights! I pulled a range of newspaper and online articles to add to this, and added more to the podcast section as that is a key piece of her recent recognition in the curling world. FenelonCurls (talk) 20:23, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Frances Robles


Hello, Innisfree987. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Frances Robles".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ✗ plicit  14:35, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Howdy!
Saw your comment on the WP:DYK page for Outcome switching. Wanted to come by and say hello. Been a long time! Hope all is well. Ktin (talk) 06:17, 19 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I was thinking how nice it was to see you too @Ktin! Thanks for dropping a note! Yes I haven’t been able to be on wiki as much as I would like, all the more glad to see you holding down the fort! Have you been well, I hope? Innisfree987 (talk) 08:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Thanks for this acknowledgment, @MinecraftPlayer321, I appreciate it! Just to clarify, AfD discussions are not about a specific version of the entry, but about whether the subject itself is notable, per WP:ARTN and WP:NEXIST. You might also check out WP:BEFORE for advice on the kinds of searches to perform in order to evaluate the subject’s notability before nominating in the future. Happy editing, Innisfree987 (talk) 03:33, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Perfume list - I use Fragrantica references, OK?
Good job clearing the List of perfumes up. Just in case you'll see my edits: I use Fragrantica site. Unfortunately, it has a window called "great deals at EBay". Since EBay is, basically, an online flea market, I have no problem with using Fragrantica as a source of data on perfumes.

It's not like I'm promoting stuff, it's just because I don't really have the time to sift through .PDFs and can't use actually promotional materials from glam mags. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 06:34, 7 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message, I appreciate your reaching out. Fragrantica’s database gives no indication of a fact-checking process though, so we can’t count on it as a reliable source. Given the amount of promotion that list attracts, we need to be vigilant about high-quality sources. Thanks for your help on it. Innisfree987 (talk) 09:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * To add, I would actually support restricting that list to only perfumes that meet Wikipedia’s standard for notability, since at this point thousands of perfumes are released every year and Wikipedia is not a directory nor an indiscriminate list. At minimum, to justify mention, we need to see some notice in a reliable secondary source; merely existing isn’t enough. Innisfree987 (talk) 09:13, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Indeed, it's hard to tell if a perfume is notable or not... unless it has own article? 81.89.66.133 (talk) 11:30, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Some have been reviewed in books like Perfumes: The Guide; often those will also have other reliable reviews as well. (Sorry for the delayed reply on this!) Innisfree987 (talk) 06:19, 31 March 2024 (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.

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time
 Hello :

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a  month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!

Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there! You are receiving this message as a member of the WikiProject Women in Green. You can remove yourself from receiving notifications here. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:12, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Some photo help
Hi, Innisfree! I'm currently working on a draft for Grace Lavery, who is married to Daniel M. Lavery. I noticed that you were involved in photo-related shenanigans for that article in years past and was wondering if you had any insight on obtaining a photo for Grace? I wanted to ask ahead of time before I finish the draft, just to see if we can dig a good photo up beforehand. Silver seren C 17:06, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Oh gosh. You know, @Silver seren, if I recall correctly, that was resolved by Daniel sending a current photo but no, sorry to say I have no idea who if anyone got in touch to make that happen. On a different note tho, my recollection is there used to be a draft for Grace—requesting a refund might be helpful to understand why it wasn’t published previously. Good luck! Innisfree987 (talk) 17:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

As an aside, the inability to access Newspapers.com right now is quite vexing, because there's likely some extra information, maybe even background info, on Lavery that could be found there. But the entire system is down right now. And I can't really delay on moving the article into mainspace. Oh well. Silver seren C 16:42, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
