I don't want to step on your toes, (or fingers as the case may be), but it is gender studies month for Women in Red. I wanted to write about Pető, but I see you have started a draft. Do you mind if I work the draft up? SusunW (talk) 05:03, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@SusunW: There’s no stepping on toes or fingers! It’s a knitting project. If you’ve got the yarn and the time, knit away! Best, Thriley (talk) 06:22, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@SusunW: Will you be nominating the article for Did You Know? It would be good to see her on the front page. Thriley (talk) 18:06, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Feel free. I am honestly buried. Have been working on a series of articles on women's nationality for the last two years and took this month away from that to work on women's/gender studies scholars because I believe that without their work we would not have sources to write about women even today.

Hi, Thriley,

I feel a little bad, posting all of these CSD G13 notices on your User talk page but I think it's important that you know when one of your many, many drafts is deleted. FireflyBot is fairly good at posting 5 months' notice on stale drafts but it doesn't catch everything and it will only notify a page creator once about a draft, if you reedit an old draft and 5 more months go by, it won't post a second notice. So I think it's important that you receive word when a draft is actually deleted so you can request a REFUND if you want to return to working on it.

You do juggle a massive amount of draft articles that you have started and if you complete half of them, well, that's quite a contribution to the project so thank you for that. I just wanted to let you know that we generally work with User:SDZeroBot/G13 soon so if you regularly scan that page when it gets updated each day, you might be able to catch some of your drafts that will be expiring soon that you might have lost track of. Thank you again for all of your work. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:34, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Appreciate it Liz! I don’t know how I didn’t see this message when you posted. Must have gotten lost in all my deletion notifications. Thank you for the tips. I need to take a look back at all my drafts and put more into article space. The current number is a bit overwhelming, but I intend to get them all done by the end of the year. Thank you again for all your notifications and all the other work you do. Best, Thriley (talk) 05:47, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

On 4 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Travis Lupick, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that journalist Travis Lupick first wrote about the opioid epidemic for The Georgia Straight in 2014 and has since published two books, Light Up the Night and Fighting for Space, on the subject? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Travis Lupick. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Travis Lupick), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

On 10 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Martine Bedin, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that French designer Martine Bedin compared her Super Lamp design to "a small dog that I could carry with me"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Martine Bedin. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Martine Bedin), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.
