Your GA nomination of Competitive debate in the United States
The article Competitive debate in the United States you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Competitive debate in the United States for comments about the article, and Talk:Competitive debate in the United States/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hi there! How can I create my own personal wikipedia information and avoid anyone editing it? --K&#38;B M. P. Aus. (talk) 09:10, 25 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello - This is not possible, and for good reason. See WP:OWN for more information. If you'd like your own personal collection of information that's just for you, you should create a personal website instead. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 16:56, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

World War II and the history of Jews in Poland: Arbitration case opened
Hello ,

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence. Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes. Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at the case's FAQ page.

For a guide to the arbitration process, see Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

How do i become admin --Mynameiscool93 (talk) 21:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! The process to become an administrator is detailed at Requests for adminship, but it's not something that you can just do. Adminship is secondary to being a positive contributor to the encyclopedia, and that should be your focus first. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 01:15, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

I tried to add beachfront community to a link that just labeled the destination as a municipality. the wiki link showed up in a google earth pin that was misplaced 200 miles away from actual community. (I did confirm the wrongfully placed pin was not at another Santo Tomas) This reference just made me want to call Santo Tomas Beachfront in its description, as that is what the community is all about. --KBlanko (talk) 02:03, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I moved this page to Newton Boyd, New South Wales, because "Newtown Boyd, New South Wales" was a spelling mistake. A redirect from this spelling mistake is not really needed.

Question from The Sith Turkey (02:52, 25 July 2023)
Hey! I am not very comfortable with my writing skills, and I'm a bit new to researching and fact checking. For now, do you think I should keep making small spelling corrections and updating review information for movies and tv shows? I hope to start working on more impactful edits soon, if you have any reccomendations or fun topics that would be easy to update that would be great. Thank you! --The Sith Turkey (talk) 02:52, 25 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! I'm sorry this took me a bit to reply to, I'm in the middle of a cross-country move and haven't had a lot of time for Wikipedia recently. Your contributions look good, so I've got no concerns there. What I always recommend is that you edit in a way that makes you feel good - If making minor corrections is rewarding, you should keep doing that, while also adding additional editing on top of that.
 * For impactful edits, it depends a little bit on what sort of impactful edits you want to make. If writing new articles is what you want to do, I cannot recommend WP:Articles for Creation enough - That's a formalized pipeline to help you get comfortable with bigger edits. For things like expanding pages, you should do that in blocks of small edits rather than one big edit, that way if there are issues people are able to fix them individually rather than reverting a massive amount of work at once. For example, you can see the page history of List of Washington (state) ballot measures, an article I expanded over a long period of time.
 * Your editing history is pretty varied but I noticed a lot of films and video games in the articles - Both of those wikiprojects have lists of articles tagged for cleanup or expansion. Alternatively, take a look at WP:Requested articles - That's where I got started writing new articles and there are a LOT of options to choose from!

I reviewed the sources of one of your AfD nominations
Hi Thadeus,

Just want to let you know that I reviewed the sources of Articles for deletion/Guangzhou True Light Middle School. Kindly let me know, in the AfD page, if you find any more relevant sources.

I think the subject is quite interesting in the case that there are multiple schools by the same name, likely because of missionary activities in the 19th & 20th centuries.

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello ,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

 * Hi Shivam068 - I am not sure what page you are referring to but articles will automatically be indexed over time. If you're referring to a userspace or draftspace page, that will not happen because those are not meant for "public consumption." If you're referring to your sandbox page, that article is nowhere near ready for mainspace and should not be indexed. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 11:44, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Peer review
If you have time for a peer review this coming week (I know the Christmas season is busy, but maybe you might), I've had a peer review going on Book of Common Prayer (Unitarian) for about a month with no traction. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:03, 20 December 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.

WikiProject Anarchism checking in
Hey there! I noticed you have identified yourself as a member of WikiProject Anarchism in your user page, but you don't appear to have been very active in this subject area for some time. Just in case you're still interested, here's a little update:
 * In the past couple years, we have brought four articles to Featured status, including the ones on Nestor Makhno, La Salute è in voi, The May Pamphlet and "The Day Before the Revolution". We're likely to get even more to this status in the near future, so stay tuned to the front page for some of our best articles on the platform.
 * A number of our most vital articles have been reviewed and achieved Good Article status, including ones on Gaetano Bresci, Camilo Cienfuegos, Joseph Déjacque, Luigi Galleani, Paul Goodman, and the Kronstadt rebellion. As these "vital articles" are generally considered among the most important on the platform, we aim to get as many as possible to GA and FA status over the coming years.
 * We recently hit the first milestone for our stub-expansion project, getting the number of stubs down to under 1/5th of our total articles. This means that the vast majority of our articles are now relatively substantial, as we expand and add greater detail to the articles that lack sufficient information. We hope to narrow this number down even further, so more articles have the information they deserve.
 * We just started a cleanup drive, in which we are aiming to resolve the problematic parts of our articles, from finding citations for unsourced sections to fixing up formatting errors. In doing this, we intend to make sure our articles provide the best possible reading experience, without unsourced claims or ugly tags littering the page.

If you want to get more involved in the project, please feel free! We always need an extra pair of hands to help out with our ever-growing project. If you want to help out with one of the above efforts, go right ahead. If you want to keep more up to date with the project's activities, consider adding our noticeboard to your watchlist or adding your name to our mailing list. On the other hand, if you think you're time with the project is over, then consider removing the category from your user page, but we do hope you're still interested in our wee project.

All the best to you, whatever your future plans are. Regards, --Grnrchst (talk) 12:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
