Hello Cremastra,
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.

Hey Edward-Woodrow, There seems to be a copyvio on the career section of Draft:Musa Ssekaana from [1] Earwig's shows 68.9% violation [2]. Can you please add a tag or comment on it? Or should I leave a note on it's talk page? Jeraxmoira (talk) 18:12, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
anyone, including users who are not logged in, may create and edit drafts.Of course, people might get annoyed if you come in and rewrite a draft that they've been working on alone, but generally it's perfectly alright to amble in and make some fixes. My guess is that editing other editors' userspace drafts might be considered poor form, though. Edward-Woodrow • talk 12:29, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't have time now to work out what has happened or to fix it, but the relisting notice for Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 October 8#Dangerous Girl contains notice of a previous discussion for an unrelated set of redirects (Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 May 26#NATO occupied FR Yugoslavia).

Thank you for all your assistance at RfD! I've been seeing you consistently over the last month or so, and from my eyes you've done good work during that time, in nominating RfD candidates and performing relists and closes as needed. I appreciate your passion, so thanks for your help! Utopes (talk / cont) 14:52, 9 October 2023 (UTC) |
As you've probably noticed, I reverted a batch of WP:BLARs you did on Polish places. We give editors a lot of latitude with BLAR, but I think there's so little to say about it
is really pushing it as a rationale, since it directly contradicts WP:NPLACE, WP:NODEADLINE and WP:STUB. I guess this is related to the VPI thread you made and quickly (and if, I may say, wisely) withdrew. Geographic stubs are a hot topic at the moment and if you're going to wade into those depths, I think it's important you're aware that not everyone may share your assumptions. For example, many editors, myself include, would disagree that an article with only the name, the coordinates, and a bit of database-style information
on a place is not a useful or viable stub.
I've also just noticed that when I granted you NPR I said it was for a month but didn't actually click that button. I guess we'll say it's permanent now, then! – Joe (talk) 15:25, 9 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to Outline of reptiles. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Hello Edward-Woodrow -- I've deprodded a series of prods from you on islands; my reading of WP:GEONATURAL "If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river." is that there is no problem with having the material covered in a subtopic article, with a redirect from the minor feature title.

I'm a bit perplexed by your close of Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion/Log/2023 October 14#INTDABLINK of redirects from incomplete disambiguation. For one, there was an outstanding delete !vote besides the nominator, so I don't see this as a WP:SNOW situation. Narky Blert's speedy keep was for the evaluation of incoming links, which was subsequently completed. I do agree with Bkonrad that But on the other hand, what is there to evaluate?
and agree that this would be an all or nothing delete/keep outcome. Breaking up into smaller chunks would draw that out too long. I would like to lodge a delete !vote, but I was never given that opportunity due to the early closure. Finally, the rationale for your closure is flawed. With tools like WP:AWB and WP:DBATCH (if closure is delete), it is actually very simple to implement a mass closure like this. I strongly urge you to back out of your closure and leave it open for further discussion. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 18:43, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
the early close is controversial. I split the nomination into groups and reopened the discussion. And don't close it again without further consensus.Edward-Woodrow • talk 00:14, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
Hi, I pinged you about not adding multiple parent categories at Category:Attacks in France in the 1990s. On closer inspection, I see that you did create the page with two parent categories, but Category:Attacks in Europe in the 1990s did not exist, so Bearcat removed that one. It would have been better if either of you had shortened it to e.g. Category:Attacks in the 1990s which did exist. Anyway, I've created and populated that missing parent now, and added a third parent. – Fayenatic London 21:44, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Edward-Woodrow,
Categories can't be deleted through CSD until they have been emptied so I have removed the CSD tag from this one. If you are going to close CFD discussions, you need to handle the articles/pags in the category being discussed or set it up so that User:JJMC89 bot III handles the recategorization of articles. If you have questions about this, I recommend you ask Marcocapelle who is very experienced in CFDs and emptying categories that are designated to be deleted. CFDs can be very complicated and even a lot of administrators avoid closing them so please make sure all of the "Ts" are crossed and "Is" are dotted. Thank you. Liz Read!

Hello Edward-Woodrow:
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.
Hey there. Congrats on being on the backlog drive leaderboard. I really appreciate you helping out at NPP. If you want to hang out with other NPPs, consider joining us on the NPP Discord. Discord is live text chat software that can be really fun. If not no worries. Thanks and see you around :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 15:04, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

maybe you can create a more general spin-off article about just dispute between the mining lobby and enviromentalists in Kakadu National Park, which seems notable to me.I'd follow their advice, given the topic does not appear to be notable.

I've been giving out quite a bit of advice lately on user talk pages about the tools I'm familiar with. So much so, that I realized there was enough content to develop a page with it.
So, in case you are interested, I've been revamping the Optimized tool set.
It includes some of the most powerful tools currently available, and as I have time, I'll try to include the rest.
You might find something useful on there.

Hi - regarding this series of edits. First, the talk page of a blocked sock whp has no business editing here is not a great place to have a discussion about the merits or otherwise of rolling back their edits. If you are going to harangue hard-working administrators about clean up they've done, you should do it on their own talk pages.
Second, admins who work SPI, and who come across the sock of an account that is known to have had multiple issues in the past with a particular type of editing, are faced with a choice. Do we carefully review every one of their contributions (which in this case number in the thousands), weighing whether or not to revert? That would as always be the ideal option, but it would take hours of time, which would obviously result in other cases not being attended to. (Have you looked at the backlog at SPI recently?) The choice that many of us take, for reasons of expediency as well as to discourage continued socking, is to simply revert them all. They should not have been editing, those categorisations should not have been made - we put things back the way they were before they created their sock. This is discussed in more detail at WP:BANREVERT. Note the language in the first paragraph there: changes that are obviously helpful... ...can be allowed to stand
, not should be allowed to stand. When in doubt (and they are most certainly in doubt for anything the user in question has done), they should be reverted.
Now, if you want to spend the time it would take to review their contributions fully, and are willing to stand by them yourself as improvements to the project, you are welcome to reinstate any of them that you see fit. That would take exactly the same amount of time as the checks that you seem to think Bbb23 should have carried out. I for one believe that that would be a better use of your time than insulting people with insulting, snide, sarcastic messages. Girth Summit (blether) 08:13, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

On 20 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Balkan terrapin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that hatchling Balkan terrapins are only 3 to 4 centimetres (1.2 to 1.6 in) in length, while adults (example pictured) can grow as long as 25 cm (9.8 in)? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Balkan terrapin. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Balkan terrapin), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello, Edward. I saw your message to me suggesting salting some titles repeatedly created by a sockpuppeteer. However, my experience is that it is actually unhelpful to salt titles in this situation. Since the person in question has created several pages several times, coming back with new sockpuppets after each one is blocked, they are almost certainly going to come back and do the same again, and the only effect of salting would be to force them to find new titles for the pages. We can easily watchlist the old titles, but we can't watchlist every conceivable new title they may possibly think up, so salting stands to make it harder to catch them next time. I have seen that happen quite often over the years: a persistent sockpuppeteer has been repeatedly caught fairly soon, until some administrator decides to salt titles, and then they create sockpuppets which manage to stay undetected for long periods. Also, you can't put the genie back in the bottle: once they realise that making up new titles each time helps them to evade scrutiny, they carry on doing that even if no more salting takes place, so just salting even one title can be very counterproductive.

I think that for the duration of the conflict, the map should be displayed in the infobox, as it rapidly changes and informs the readers of the ongoing situation.

Hello. I opened the issue above but only got 1 response. I am seeking more outside opinion but it seemed like canvassing. How to get more participation on that issue, or maybe you could also help to check on the questionable reference? Slothades (talk) 01:53, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Banded palm civet you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of 20 upper -- 20 upper (talk) 13:03, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Since RfCs are generally supposed to run for 30 days, there was low participation, and other editors may want to opine on this issue (there's a big discussion on the use of image collages in year articles right now), would you consider reopening and relisting the discussion? Thanks, voorts (talk/contributions) 01:06, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
The article Banded palm civet you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Banded palm civet for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

A category or categories you have created have been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2024 January 4 § Category:Unassessed vital articles by level on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Qwerfjkltalk 17:01, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I see that you just closed the discussion on the request for Hertz (person) at AFC/RC. I was in the process of nominating the redirect for RfD, as I am not convinced is the PTOPIC. Just wanted to let you know. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 21:18, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Hey @Cremastra. I wish you well on your perm request (though it would be frowned upon for me to go post '''Support'''
). There is one part that I wanted to ask about (both now and during the previous request). To my understanding, the vast majority of "rename" closures at CfD are implemented by the Bot via WT:CFD/W (for non-admins) or WP:CFD/W (for admins). Is that your understanding as well? I think the most common CfD closer is Qwerfjkl, and they manually moved only 2 categories in 2023 (log). Are you looking to work on WP:CFD/W/M (manual implementation)? (I'm asking on this page because this sort of thing seems more pointed on a user talk page. You can delete this or move it elsewhere.) SilverLocust 💬 01:22, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
CfD desparately needs more closers (for the last few weeks one person has closed almost all discussions). In practice the easiest way to do non-admin closures properly is User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/CFDlister." (That script wasn't previously mentioned at WP:CFD/AI (the
Hello, Cremastra. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.
Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect
is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 15:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

I've just had to clean up some sloppy editing you made at Anguinae a few days ago, which shows a lack of care. Regarding the 48-49 number, which you took as "citation needed", the source clearly stated The divergence between the Gerrhonotinae in North America and Anguinae in Europe is suspected to have occurred after a dispersal across the Thulean land bridge and before 48.6 million years when Anguinae fossils begin appearing at multiple sites in Europe
. You also added "They are believed not to be monophyletic", when the source actually said According to Sullivan (1987), the subfamily Anguinae is not monophyletic
, which is not the same at all, and that study was published nearly 40 years ago. According to the recent 2019 paper "Phylogenetic relationships and divergence dating in the Glass Lizards (Anguinae)" which was quoted for the evolution section: Within the Anguidae, the subfamily Anguinae consist of a monophyletic assemblage of elongated legless grass-swimming ecomorphs
, so your claim that "They are believed not to be monophyletic" is hardly well supported enough to put in wikivoice is it? When writing about anything on Wikipedia, please put in the effort to actually properly assess recent scientific literature. Thanks. Hemiauchenia (talk) 09:44, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
Welcome to WP:FEB24! I'm glad that you are here. One person cannot address the backlog, but all of us together might. Since you have edited lots of articles about biology and plants, how about starting out with these articles in Category:Articles lacking sources from December 2023:

Considering your recent reply on my talk page (which has since been reverted), I believe that I should remind you about this and recommend you should read WP:THREATEN DementiaGaming (talk) 02:53, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
if you do that again I will block you, that would likely be a threat. She is merely saying, as a statement of opinion, that a block may be called for. This is what I intended to say in my comment. I wrote
The comment about the block is not a threat. It is a statement of fact.I'm not threatening to block you (I'm not an administrator and I stay clear of ANI when I can). As Liz (talk · contribs) said on their talk page, it's a warning, not a threat.

Thank you for improving articles in January! I remember Ewa Podleś on the Main page, and had - believe it or not - two musical DYK today. Shalom chaverim. On vacation, with something for your sweet tooth -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:17, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Psst, your old username is still on the WikiProject China participants list. It would seem relatively trivial to do a site search and swap out any mentions if you're so inclined—I just figured I'd make sure you're aware. Cheers! Remsense诉 09:59, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

My name Is Aodhán Ó Ríordáin. I am the subject of the page. I did not create it. I was divorced on May 17th 2023 in the High Court in Dublin. There was no reporting of the divorce. My ex-wife is anxious that the page reflect her new martial status. I am deeply frustrated that I cannot correct this page which has inaccurate comments about my private life.
