November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello ReaderofthePack:

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.

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)

Request for Review and Consideration of Draft:Nastik Nation
Dear Wikipedia admin,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to draw your attention to the recently drafted article, Draft:Nastik Nation. I have invested significant effort in revising the content and have also provided detailed explanations on the talk page regarding the current notability of the subject.

The organisation in question has been in existence for almost nine years, staging public programs. Additionally, the organization has a pan-Indian presence with numerous publication of books, further solidifying its significance.

I kindly request your thoughtful consideration of these factors during the review process. The extended period of existence and the widespread publications in many Indian languages might contribute to the notability of Nastik Nation, making it a valuable addition to Wikipedia.

To support the content, I have diligently added potential references on the page for your perusal. I believe these citations contribute to the credibility and verifiability of the information presented in the article.

I sincerely appreciate your dedication and commitment to upholding Wikipedia's norms and standards. Your expertise and insights are invaluable in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the content on this platform.

Thank you for taking the time to review Draft:Nastik Nation. I look forward to any feedback or suggestions you may have, and I am open to making further improvements to meet Wikipedia's guidelines.

Kindly see the talk page of the draft also.

Best regards,

Thanks for uploading File:Sailor Moon animation footage by Toon Makers.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:


 * , who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews

 * , who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to, who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hi, Please remove protection log from Sandeep Anand, because I want to create this page. KungfuPanda2008 (talk) 20:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Given the page's history, I would wait for the draft to get accepted at AfC. I have no problem with another admin unprotecting it if it gets accepted there. In the meantime, has brought up several issues with the page that look like they still need to be resolved. As far as what the issues with the page history goes, in the past a sockpuppet tried to create the page, plus there were issues with notability and repeat recreations, one of which contained plagiarism. It's not the most issue rife page I've ever protected, but the history may still put it at more risk of getting nominated for deletion than others. Successfully making it through AfC will help give it at least some protection from this. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  15:18, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
