Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Equalwidth (C) 17:50, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Looksmaxxing


A tag has been placed on Draft:Looksmaxxing, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

January 2024
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved without good reason. They should have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Please stop moving pages around until you're more familiar with editing here. It makes it hard to keep the content together'' Star   Mississippi  14:17, 20 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I moved the page because Caddebostan already exists but as a redirect but it redirects to Kadıköy (the district which Caddebostan is in). Youprayteas (talk) 14:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * You also moved the talk to the article. If it is accepted, which is not likely until you fix the issues, AfC reviewers will handle the naming. Star   Mississippi  14:40, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Youprayteas, thanks again for the note on my talk page the other day. I see you are from Turkey and have an interest in public art / visual arts. I visited Istanbul recently and had a marvelous time! I've created many new Wikipedia entries based on my visit, which hopefully other editors will be able to improve. Also, if you ever do translation work, it'd be cool to see the entry about me translated into Turkish! Thanks again, and happy editing! --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:48, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I didn't know you had a Wikipedia page, that's nice! I would love to translate it to Turkish in an appropriate time for me. Happy editing to you too! Youprayteas (t • c) 18:53, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Turkishness
Hello @Youprayteas yes I am legally Turkish and live in Turkey, but my Turkish writing is hopeless and I have pretty much given up on Turkish Wikipedia as other editors there keep putting back stuff I delete.

Have only seen your river once but hope to visit Kemaliye again one day.

I mostly write about environmental things in Turkey - if you don’t fancy the bot suggestions above I have plenty. Chidgk1 (talk) 18:03, 25 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Ironically, I don't think I have ever seen the Euphrates - I only use it because my name is Fırat (Euphrates in english. Secondly, yes, I need editing suggestions. I specifically have an interest in subdivisions so if possible expandable neighborhoods, districts, towns etc. would be nice. Youprayteas (t • c) 18:10, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I don’t have any subdivisions to suggest but as you can see Forest in Turkey has been tagged as ‘rough translation’. Perhaps you could check it for my mistakes in translating from sources - for example the statistic on ‘dikili damga’ I listed as the quantity of brushwood but I am a bit confused as I understand a ‘dikili damga’ is a timber mark.

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.
