Welcome to the drive!
Welcome, welcome, welcome! Your work on LGBT-related articles is very commendable, especially because how little editors are working on that area. Since I couldn't get WP:PetScan to run, unfortunately I couldn't suggest to you any articles right now :(. You can try putting "LGBT" in the categories section, adjust the depth to 7, then go to the templates page and put "Unreferenced" in the "has a template:" box to search for uncited articles though. It's complicated I know :). I search for you some articles later in the day if you want some articles to test out your citation skills. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 07:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Coraline (given name)
The name Coraline is actually one that has been invented twice by fictional writers. One source says the French name, with an een ending, was invented for a character in the opera La Toreador in the 1850s. It was later reinvented by Gaiman based on the misprint of Caroline, with the long i ending. In both conttexts, it is an invented name that meets the category.

Page approval
Hello. I saw you approved some of my newly created pages about inscriptions. I wanted to ask why some of the inscription pages I made have been approved I made in the last week (Zabad inscription, Ruwafa inscriptions, Yazid inscription) but others which were created even before some of these still have not been approved (Jabal Dabub inscription, Ri al-Zallalah inscription, Jebel Usays inscription, Harran inscription, Hima Paleo-Arabic inscriptions, Dumat al-Jandal inscription)? Pogenplain (talk) 16:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi, the reason for this is likely that some of your articles got listed by a bot on a "new pages" notice page that I happen to follow because they contained some key words (probably related to ancient Rome or Greece, since those are the main topics I follow on Wikipedia), it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the pages or anything like that, all your articles are good as far as I've seen. 🙂★Trekker (talk) 17:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Sorting question
Just saw this edit, and was curious as to the purpose. Using a space for sorting causes the article to be sorted at the top, but a plus causes it to be sorted under a plus—to no obvious advantage that I can see. However, knowing your usual meticulousness, I thought I'd better ask in case I was missing something. As a rule, I always use a space to have things sort at the top; but perhaps there's a reason for not doing so in this instance. P Aculeius (talk) 01:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I tend to use + for related articles which are not lists or the main topic. For example in the case of Category:Ancient Roman censors the Roman censor has a space because it's the main topic, and List of censors of the Roman Republic uses a * because it's a list, using the + makes the Fasti Capitolini get listed third as a related but not essential article for the subject. Other symbols can be used for this as well, for example a lot of people use the minus (-) symbol to categorize templates. It's not a hard rule and if you prefer to use a space you are free to change it back.★Trekker (talk) 03:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Antón Castillo
Hi there StarTrekker, I was just wondering whether you might still consider working on the Antón Castillo draft that you have previously contributed to. I feel that Castillo is an important enough character to have his own character article.

I have attempted to contact the user GhostRiver about her helping to edit the article again, but I have not yet received a response. However, I see no harm in asking you to contribute to the article anyway.

Also, would it be a good idea to place a notification on the Video Games WikiProject to see if other editors could contribute to the article? (Oh, and by the way, thanks for the Thanks! I now feel as if I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.)

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.

Females/Women at Naming conventions for women in ancient Rome
Saw you reverted the IP's change this afternoon. I saw it earlier and thought about the same reason you gave, but it seemed nitpicky to me. Yes, women are girls before they're women, but the article is called "naming conventions for women", not "naming conventions for females". And it's just clunky/florid referring to women and/or girls collectively as "females"; Mark Twain poked fun at James Fenimore Cooper for doing this in the nineteenth century. And of course modern distinctions are irrelevant, or we'd be wading into a minefield with questions as to whether all women and girls are female.

Perhaps this is an argument for rewording the sentences. But I think that the simpler solution is to leave it at "women" instead of trying to be technically correct in every possible sense. Also, I had it in mind that at some point this and the main article on Roman names should be merged at a better title... but that's for another time. Again, I chose not to intervene this morning because I thought the edits were probably an improvement, but I'm also not going to revert your changes if you're not convinced. Just explaining why I think they were probably okay. P Aculeius (talk) 23:07, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I guess that's a fair argument. If someone changes it to women again I wont revert it again.★Trekker (talk) 20:25, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

DAB to article :)
Hi. You seem to be into technical stuff, which complements me very nicely, putting it delicately towards myself. I have started the Rehovot-in-the-Negev article from a somewhat illogical redirect, created 10 yrs ago and leading to Rehoboth (Bible). Rehovot-in-the-Negev has NO connection to any of the 3 biblical Rehovot/Rehoboth items. So I feel fine about it in terms of logic. Technically... not so much, as I do know that it shouldn't be done: one puts in an application (I'm always forgetting where), they're wasting time, sometimes somebody opposes out of priciple, eventually the DAB is deleted, and then one can create the article using the vacated name. I did pay attention, have changed/updated all relevant wikilinks etc., but I'm not sure if there isn't some hidden reason why this really isn't the kosher way to do it. Is there a reason? Does some inner Wiki programme/code get confused and the whole project implodes because of me taking a shortcut?

Thanks, Arminden (talk) 21:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * As far as I'm aware there is no strict rule against doing what you did (turning a redirect into its own article) and if you have indeed checked all the wikilinks then there shouldn't be a problem.★Trekker (talk) 21:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you! It's good to hear. Have a great day/night. Arminden (talk) 21:38, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Question about Nigrinian
Hello, @StarTrekker— I was just working with the page for this obscure 3rd-century person, and saw that you’d added the line He was the last family member of an emperor to be deified posthumously, a designation I’d previously seen applied to Valerius Romulus. The fact was added at least a year ago, but do you remember from whence it originated? Since we’ve previously interacted, I figured I’d ask you directly rather than going through the article’s talk page. ManuelKomnenos (talk) 13:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh darn, I really can't remember, I must have forgotten to add a souce. If it is true that Valerius Romulus was then the line should probably be removed.★Trekker (talk) 13:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @StarTrekker Thanks! I’m going to investigate more before altering anything (I need to hunt down the book that told me Romulus was the last), but wanted to start by checking with you. ManuelKomnenos (talk) 13:43, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Please do not delete or alter legitimate talk page comments from other editors, as you did at Talk:Witchcraft. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 19:58, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I was intending to correct Dimadick's "The last think we need" comment. I screwed up and accidentally made a nonsense edit. My bad.★Trekker (talk) 20:06, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You don't get to "correct" any other editor's comments. That is their sole discretion. Skyerise (talk) 20:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Well I would be glad if someone else corrected my typos but ok if those are Wikipedia rules then I wont again.★Trekker (talk) 20:09, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Skyerise (talk) 20:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Late to the table, as I came here to ask about something else, and saw this. I believe there are certain cases where modifying another editor's comments is acceptable: for example, formatting errors causing broken links, re-indenting replies to place them in the proper location/order without materially affecting their contents, moving talk page references, etc.  WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS provides further examples, more clearly than I could have.  Fixing someone's typo may fall under the heading of "potentially irritating" at the top, but I would have to judge that on a case-by-case basis when it comes to editors who regularly interact with one another.  This warning seems a bit strongly worded given the circumstances.  Butting out now.  P Aculeius (talk) 11:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Adding Roman gentes to WikiProject Genealogy?
I see you added the WikiProject Genealogy banner at Talk:Hostia gens. I wonder whether it makes sense to include Roman gentes under this heading, as I would not have expected to find them there. There are over a thousand articles on Roman gentes now, and while many of them mention how some members are related to one another, they were not intended to constitute genealogical topics, and most do no more than connect a few immediate family members who are so identified in the inscriptions that attest their existence. The major families sometimes do include tables (mostly against my better judgment, but other editors have added them and I did not want to fight over the subject; I also created or edited a couple), but even so the heading "genealogy" suggests a different scope and purpose than the one intended, and possibly a link with Descent from antiquity, which I regard as a very dubious field that has occasionally come into discussion in Roman articles.

Now, I don't mean to suggest for a minute that genealogy is a dubious field; I'm a genealogist myself, and perhaps there's some intersection between my interest in genealogy and that in Roman gentes and the names they used. But I try to keep these topics strictly separate—as a rule I don't even venture into genealogy on Wikipedia, though I may refer to articles on historic events or persons while working on genealogy. And I think that my concern may be motivated by worries that someone will come along and start tagging Roman gentes for deletion on the grounds that as genealogical articles they would fail general notability guidelines (in fact, even before today I've wondered whether this might happen; CGR currently has some editors who apply policy very strictly and seem to have a narrow view of what should and shouldn't be here.)

Since "Hostia gens" certainly isn't likely to show up in anyone's "descent from antiquity", it seems as though WikiProject Genealogy would apply equally to all other articles on Roman gentes, and that prospect worries me for the above reasons. Is there something I'm not aware of here? Is this a good idea? P Aculeius (talk) 11:44, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I understand your arguments . Personally I find gentes to be of prosopographical interest, but I understand your concern over focus and genealogical notability standards. I will probably refrain from adding the project to future articles.★Trekker (talk) 15:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
