Hey there and I'm sorry if I get anything wrong, I'm still new to this Talk Page thing. Is there anything special I have to keep in mind for a Did-You-Know nomination? Cheers and thank you for the nice words!

Ted52 (talk) 13:58, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I couple of things. The biggest one is that you have 7 days from the 27th, when the draft was accepted, to nominate it for DYK. You can see the instructions for nominating at Template talk:Did you know, but if you'd like any help writing a hook, etc just let me know. --DannyS712 (talk) 17:06, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Right, thank you for the explanation! I'll abstain from seeking a nomination, as I do not really see that mind boggling a thing that is interesting to anyone outside of this very specific niche of military historians. Once more, thank you! Ted52 (talk) 17:11, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * in that case, is it okay with you if I nominate it for DYK later today? --DannyS712 (talk) 17:13, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Wow, I am honored. By all means, be my guest! I appreciate it! Ted52 (talk) 17:31, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Please see User:DannyS712/sandbox for my draft. Can you help me with the sourcing? Feel free to edit it --DannyS712 (talk) 20:26, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
 * What do you think about that one? Your original DYK fact wasn't quite correct, as the unit wasn't as much disbanded as it was renamed, which isn't nearly as impressive. I instead went for the fact that they took only ten days to cut across their assigned operational area. Ted52 (talk) 14:13, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * absolutely! The new one is more interesting, and also corrected, and has a reference! With your permission, I'm going to nominate this for DYK. Just let me know --DannyS712 (talk) 17:50, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am totally on board with this. Now you got me invested and I hope it's good enough to be accepted, haha :) Ted52 (talk) 18:02, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅. See Template talk:Did you know --DannyS712 (talk) 18:11, 31 December 2018 (UTC)

DYK nomination for XIX Army Corps
Ted, I see you have put a lot of work into the XIX Army Corps article. I want to help move it forward at Template:Did you know nominations/XIX Army Corps. I hope we can get this featured in DYK. Thanks in advance. Flibirigit (talk) 02:09, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey there! Thanks for the offer. They didn't really care for it the first time around, so I don't have much hope for the second time. But sure, sounds fun. Ted52 (talk) 05:19, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Ted, do you have any information you can add to the XIX Army Corps article? There are a couple sections without text that we should either complete or delete. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 21:29, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

DYK for XIX Army Corps
&mdash; Amakuru (talk) 00:01, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

Great work, your first article. It's also lead hook (and will be until the next pictured one comes) on Portal:Germany. I haven't seen such a detailed ref list as your user page. Danke! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:29, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Cheers, glad to see it worked out in the end although I had already given up on it. I acquired some new books recently and I'll see if I can add new stuff to the article. The pressure is really on now. Ted52 (talk) 09:57, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Congratulations on the DYK, and keep up the good work - hopefully we'll see a lot more from you in the future! &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:01, 19 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Go ahead, don't feel pressed, please. I am sure it will make the stats ;) - I think you should proceed to Good article (GA, my initials). - Anyway, how do you feel about an infobox, such as XLVII Panzer Corps has? To make it a bit easier to know at a glance where to put it in time and place. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:05, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Oof, I'm a noob, chief, I don't know how to do infoboxes. But I'll try, having one would probably be cool! I'll look into it, thanks for the tip. Ted52 (talk) 10:14, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I can do it for you, just tested the waters. Some find infoboxes detestable ;) - What I did was finding more links to the article, my habit on DYK day (and I don't have a DYK today while I have one more days than not, tomorrow Rolf Riehm). I think we need some disambiguation page for all these XIX Army Corps (disambiguation) in different countries, - what do you think? Wir können auch deutsch sprechen, aber es sieht für andere etwas nach Geheimnis aus. So German only with translation, I suggest. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:29, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Whatever language works. That said, I initially even submitted my article under "XIX Army Corps (Germany)", and someone else moved it onto the one without any parentheses and made "XIX Army Corps (Germany)" into a redirect. It is not obvious to me why, but I must admit I didn't bother to check back with them. I have no issues with moving it back and creating a disambiguation page. Also, on another tab I'm editing the article right now and have set up an infobox. You can tell me what you think in a few minutes when it's all ironed out - so no need for you to do it yourself. Seems to work well enough. Ted52 (talk) 10:35, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Article name: while I think that (Germany) or (Wehrmacht) would help, don't move today!! (Or we'll have to add statistics, and my math is bad.) I wouldn't even move tomorrow, because this 19th corps may be the primary topic for them. (It's usually JHunterJ who does such muves, saying "precise enough".) Just create the dab eventually, or I can do it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I won't, no worries. I'll let the veterans do it. Have a great day. Ted52 (talk) 10:46, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * (ec = edit conflict:) One more: Panzer Group 2 is bolded like a redirect, but isn't one. Two options: change the redirect to point here, or replace the bold name by a link. - After ec: understand, will see what I can do. - I saw that the name was changed when someone moved it from draft. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:50, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Disambiguation: I added it to XIX Corps. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:38, 20 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Ted52, thanks for sticking with this nomination even though it took almost seven months to reach the front page. I know the original hook wasn't chosen, but I the alternate hook with the photo did get 7,601 page views yesterday. I hope you keep on writing! Flibirigit (talk) 04:05, 20 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Here are the complete page view statistics for all six of the wikilinks: Flibirigit (talk) 04:16, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
 * 14,002 views of German–Soviet military parade in Brest-Litovsk
 * 8,698 views of Heinz Guderian (photo caption)
 * 7,601 views of XIX Army Corps
 * 6,193 views of Semyon Krivoshein (photo caption)
 * 5,861 views of Mauritz von Wiktorin (photo caption)
 * 4,541 views of Brest, Belarus


 * I only looked at the main aricle, stats as I predicted ;) - I, and next time you can do it yourself! (Sorry for typos.) Two things you might want to do when finishing celebrating: add infoboxes to other related corps, and get rid of "more citations needed" tags in some of them, because I bet you have the citations to be added. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:45, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anti-Comintern Pact, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Invasion of Manchuria ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Anti-Comintern_Pact check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Anti-Comintern_Pact?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Anarchism
Hi Ted52,

I saw your work on articles related to anarchism and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to our noticeboard for Wikipedia's coverage of anarchism, which is a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to anarchism. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider expanding a stub, adopting a cleanup category, or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Hope to see you around. czar 06:26, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for creating Mark Zuehlke.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Mark Zuehlke moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Mark Zuehlke, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

New pages
Hiya - thanks for the new articles! I tagged 'em for more sources simply because they could do with an additional source or two, so do feel free to find any other reference or even untag 'em if you feel that's all the source that can be got (generally folks look for three sources for WP:GNG). I'd also perhaps consider flinging a project tag on the talk pages? Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:01, 16 September 2023 (UTC)


 * And a project tag for the 399th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht) article would be nice, too! Also, please do remember categories, 'cos they're how people can find articles by subject etc... Thanks again for the new articles! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:49, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Ted52. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 21:49, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello Ted52:

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) 13:25, 31 October 2023 (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.
