Congratulations, ULPS! The list you nominated, List of Baltimore Ravens seasons, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Giants2008 (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:25, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Hiya, Tremors 7 talk: Island Fury and Tremors 7 talk: Shrieker Island seems to be created in error, is this a mistake on your side or would there be some kinda bug in the script?

Also, 3 FAs and 2GAs within a year is really impressive :D keep up the good work! Justiyaya 15:08, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Whoops yeah, the AFC redirect script must've bugged out, I'll go fix it. Thank you for notifying me, I really appreciate it. And thank you for the kind words about the content, but to be fair, they are 3 FLs, not FAs, so a little easier lol. Have a good day :) ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:25, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

oh whoops, the stars on your userpage still does look quite nice though :D

The two pages were named Tremors 7 talk: Island Fury and Tremors 7 talk: Island Fury though, I recreated under Talk:Tremors 7: Shrieker Island and Talk:Tremors 7: Island Fury, which is why I tagged them for G6 originally. Think User:Enterprisey/AFCRHS gets confused if there's : in the middle of a title. (Pinging Enterprisey) Justiyaya 23:39, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Wow I feel even more stupid for somehow misreading that, I'll go reinstate that G6. That bug might be the case, in the future I guess I'll create pages like that manually. Thank you :) ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 02:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello ULPS:

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.

There is a backlog of over 1900 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:25, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

		Rack and pinion Award
		This award is given to ULPS for collecting more than 15 points per week in the October 2023 NPP backlog drive. Thank you so much for your continuous contributions to the drive! Hey man im josh (talk) 01:38, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

		Special Edition New Page Patroller's Barnstar
		This award is given to ULPS for collecting more than 200 points during the October 2023 NPP backlog drive. Thank you so much for taking part and contributing to the drive! Hey man im josh (talk) 01:47, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

It's been awhile since I've created species articles, but after seeing this edit, is the italic title template not needed to italicize a species article? I see that Varroa rindereri still has italics for the article name even though you removed the template. Thanks! KoA (talk) 17:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

The speciesbox automatically does it, see Template:Speciesbox#Italicizing the article title ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:58, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! Good to know in the future. KoA (talk) 21:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

No problem :) ULPS ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:31, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

On 3 November 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wiseman (song), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that although Quentin Tarantino thought "Wiseman" was "fantastic", he could not find a scene for it in his film Django Unchained? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wiseman (song). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Wiseman (song)), 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.

		Hook update
		Your hook reached 15,357 views (639.9 per hour), making it one of the most viewed hooks of November 2023 – nice work!

Following the advice on your userbox, adding R from unnecessary disambiguation to Dobrinsky (disambiguation) was incorrect. Any redirects to disambiguation pages ending in (disambiguation) should be classified with R to disambiguation. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 23:28, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Voting in the 2023 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 11 December 2023. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2023 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add ((NoACEMM)) to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, ULPS. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:2023 FC Tokyo season, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 08:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, ULPS. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "2023 FC Tokyo season".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:13, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
