Regarding Template:Cite Instagram
Hello, I don't know if you've taken a look at the discussion at Template talk:Cite Instagram, but recent changes to Template:Cite web are causing the Instagram template to generate error and maintenance messages. I've tested a fix in the sandbox. It should also provide better metadata and more clear error messages. I'm reaching out since you're the original author of the template in case you have any questions or objections. Regards, Rjjiii  (talk) 23:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:1950s in Samoa
Hi, thanks for creating parent categories at Category:1950s in Samoa, but the populated sub-sub-cat was created by Johnpacklambert who should have searched for existing siblings first, and the set is now up for merging/renaming at Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 9. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:00, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Adding 'expand Arabic' templates to articles
You've been adding 'expand Arabic' templates to a bunch of English Wiki articles. The corresponding articles from Arabic Wikipedia are usually full of very poorly sourced content (usually sourced to government outlets and propaganda outlets that portray the subjects in a whitewashed, puffed up way). English Wiki articles for those subjects used to look the same before editors wisely removed all the unencyclopedic content. For this reason, the tags don't seem helpful and English Wikipedia should not aim to restore all the poorly sourced content that was carefully removed. Thenightaway (talk) 21:06, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I will stop adding Template:Expand Arabic to articles. Are there any other language editions that you are concerned about? Numberguy6 (talk) 00:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Expand language
Hi, Numberguy6. Your edits at various 'Expand LanguageName&apos; templates pop up on my watchlist from time to time, most recently the edit request at the Talk page of Expand French. I just wanted to say I'm glad to see your involvement, and I encourage you to continue. I didn't create the Expand language template, but I became involved a few years back and enhanced it (especially, but not only, the documentation, which I think is an important part of it) so I feel I kind of "inherited" the role of principal maintainer of Expand language. I'm happy to do it, but in general, it's not good to have something like that in the hands of only one editor, so it's great that you are getting more involved. Doesn't mean we'll always agree on stuff, but that's small potatoes; it's much more important to have more eyeballs and opinions on it. The Holy Grail for me, is to one day unite all of the Expand LanguageName templates into one; that will be a tedious task, but doable, and would be great to have you on board for that. (Not imminent, probably more than a year or two.) Anyway, just wanted to say I've noticed your involvement, and I encourage it; kudos, and keep going! Are you able to get involved in templating at some point? Some years back, I knew nothing about templating, but it can be learned, and now I am very comfortable with it. If you're not a template editor, I totally think you should consider getting into it; you'd be good at it, I think. Mathglot (talk) 08:00, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

More on the subject of "expand language"
Hello Numberguy6, and thanks for your efforts to enhance English-language Wikipedia through encouraging translations. If I may make one observation though, I think perhaps sometimes your addition of these tags are done a bit hastily. In a few cases recently, they have been added to short articles about churches in Sweden I've authored. Of course one could expand the text of these articles. At the same time, I wonder if a) anyone will make the effort, ever, and b) if an expansion really would add very much for the English-speaking reader. In many of these cases (and I here refer to them because I know them, but please consider this just as examples), the Swedish-language articles go on at some length describing the building history at great detail, the gist of which I have tried to summarise in a pertinent way for an English-language reader; or they go into greater detail about who the pastors have been throughout the centuries or some such - information which, I dare to assume, is of more interest to a Swedish and even perhaps local reader than the typical English reader.

My point is therefore that it might be advisable to consider first whether the English-language article, though short, perhaps gives a reasonably adequate cover of the subject, before adding the tag? Especially if you do not yourself intend to actually do the expansion the tag encourages. In my experience, tags tend to get stuck on an article and never go away. Particularly when it comes to minor articles like these. In other cases, of course, there is more of a "real" discrepancy between language versions and I would fully understand the inclusion of the tag (though even here I am sceptical as to whether they have any concrete effect; fixing problems is in my experience more efficient than pointing them out.)

Sorry for this wordy post, I hope you see it as an attempt at a constructive and friendly feedback. Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 20:50, 1 April 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.
