A new newsletter directory is out!
A new Newsletter directory has been created to replace the old, out-of-date one. If your WikiProject and its taskforces have newsletters (even inactive ones), or if you know of a missing newsletter (including from sister projects like WikiSpecies), please include it in the directory! The template can be a bit tricky, so if you need help, just post the newsletter on the template's talk page and someone will add it for you.

7 years later...
The unreferenced BLP backlog has built up over the last few years to about 1,800 articles. Pinging editors that were involved when the project was last active:, , , , ,. I'd bet there are also some new blood that would be willing to support this project, myself included. Thebiguglyalien ( talk ) 04:49, 4 April 2023 (UTC)


 * FYI User talk:Levivich/Archive 4 might have some more users who are interested. In that discussion I think we determined that the tagged backlog actually has some possible false positives in it, and I was using this search string (507 results) to try and filter out the false positives. I think might have gone through some manually, and also pinging  who had made some quarry queries about it, I think query/72076 (949 results) might be the most recent but I'm not sure.

 * Thanks for the ping, this is definitely something I still care about. If anyone's interested in what I was doing with the manual organization, check my sandbox! Clovermoss 🍀  (talk) 20:52, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * There are definitely false positives. I've been adding sources to some and nominating others for deletion, and I've come across a bunch of false positives in the meantime. I update the maintenance tags whenever I find them. Thebiguglyalien  ( talk ) 21:34, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

I created two dumps a few years back - User:Ritchie333/Unreferenced and unlinked BLPs and User:Ritchie333/Unreferenced women BLPs. They may be a little out of date, but I'd guess probably not by much, given we've still got a general backlog. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Pinging the active editors listed under members that I haven't already pinged, because these things never end:, , , , , ,. Remember when you joined this WikiProject on a whim all those years ago? Hello! Obviously I don't expect everyone to jump back in, but I'm just letting you guys know that the backlog is back since you expressed interest once upon a time.

 * Hi folks, I just cleared out July 2019. They were all very easy to find good sources for. Will continue now and again. J04n(talk page) 18:19, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
