Hello, Wugapodes
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Steve Quinn, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Linguistic island, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
((proposed deletion/dated...))
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|Steve Quinn))
. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

I really, really despise wikipolitics at times. I find myself here only because of wikipolitics. That's not your doing. But, I feel it necessary to post here anyway. I just opposed your RfB. My grounds for doing so are sincere, and are not connected to anything else. I was considering Lee's RfB after I posted my oppose to yours. Not finding anything objectionable in the nominations, I moved onto my next thoughts on evaluating Lee's RfB; does the candidate contribute to RfA and related discussions? To do this, I looked at this (takes time to load; looking at last 5000 edits in Wikipedia_talk) and searched for "requests for adminship" which tells me he's made 58 edits to such topics.
I then realized that I hadn't done that for you. So, I looked at the same list for you, and the first thing I see is Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Tamzin/Bureaucrat chat, which took me to Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Tamzin/Bureaucrat_chat#Comment_from_Wugapodes, where I am mentioned by you a number of times in your comments. You didn't state anything negative or positive about me, but given the whole situation at that RfA, I am presently highly concerned that you might construe my opposition at your RfB as somehow connected to that RfA. For the record; my opposition at your RfB is in no way at all connected to that RfA.
I hate having to be here to explain myself. It shouldn't be necessary. For all I know, I'm making matters worse (yet again) by even posting. I hope I'm not, and I hope you will take what I've said both here and at your RfB at face value. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:51, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

I have a question about an odd thing that I have not seen before. Do you know why Johann Nepomuk Berger (chess player) appears in Category:Chess players? Normally that happens when a category is added to or left on a redirect page, and in certain cases that's desirable. Here the redirect page should not be in the category but I don't know how to get it out since I have no idea why it's there. Asking because page history says you performed a merge, and that's when it popped up in the category. Quale (talk) 03:43, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks much. I wondered if a null edit would help in this situation but I'm always hesitant to do them on rename type redirects because they can make it impossible for a regular non-admin user to undo the rename by renaming the page back. This "redirect poisoning" is obnoxious behavior done deliberately by many editors to try to get their way in page naming dispute. That's not really an issue here, but I was thinking about it.

Hi there, I am having trouble publishing my wiki page and making it go live. May you help? --7forward (talk) 18:14, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Wugapodes!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Gusfriend (talk) 11:52, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

I agree with many of the issues you have raised during your RfB nom. If you ever decide to write up some new proposals or some sort of campaign (can't find a good word for that) to implement previous reform consensus I'd be happy to help, so feel free to ping if such is the case in the future. In any case, good luck with the rest of your RfB :) — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Join WP:FINANCE! 17:40, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
I have closed your request for bureaucratship as unsuccessful. There were a number of concerns brought up in the oppose section, and I recommend carefully reviewing them to see if there is anything that may improve your chances in the future, should you choose to run again. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my user talk page or post on the bureaucrat noticeboard. Thank you for taking the time to run the gauntlet, and I hope you choose to run again in the future. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:32, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for this. I thought I had tried all of the combinations, but somehow my brain couldn't find the right div tag placement to satisfy all of the if statements. I can usually get it, but my brain was tired today. Sorry for having to undo your addition of the meta code; I have no objection to it, only to unbalanced tag errors. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:12, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
Hey, Wugs - the little "restrictions" bar at the top of my user page (don't remember how it got there) but it failed to note the removal of a t-ban. I don't have the link where the appeal was granted. Can you please correct/update this or get a clerk to do so? Thanks in advance - Atsme 💬 📧 21:35, 18 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Wugapodes,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, ((NPP backlog))
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
High unreviewed pages backlog: 7456 articles, as of 04:00, 31 January 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

How can I create a page? --Tpsbourke (talk) 14:27, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
@Wugapodes: Hello, I'm unable to use this tool because that "green box with text fields" does not appear at all when I visit redirect pages. Perhaps this bug could due to other scripts that I'm using (see my common.js page) such as the Dark Mode UI (documented at User:Volker_E._(WMF)/dark-mode) or it could be a problem with my browser. I use Chrome and its current version is 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) (64-bit). Please help in resolving this bug asap —CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 17:11, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

The third round of the 2022 WikiCup has now come to an end. Each of the sixteen contestants who made it into the fourth round had at least 180 points, which is a lower figure than last year when 294 points were needed to progress to round 4. Our top scorers in round 3 were:
Between them contestants achieved 5 featured articles, 4 featured lists, 51 good articles, 149 DYK entries, 68 ITN entries, and 109 good article reviews. As we enter the fourth round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 3 but before the start of round 4 can be claimed in round 4. Please also remember that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them. When doing GARs, please make sure that you check that all the GA criteria are fully met. Please also remember that all submissions must meet core Wikipedia policies, regardless of the review process.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article nomination, a featured process, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi Wugapodes, I just drafted an article that's ready for review, publishing, and then further improvements by the community, but when I submitted it for review, it said it would take 4+ months to process. Given your experience, are you able to help review so it can become available to others sooner? Please feel free to point out any errors I made when drafting.

How do I place my citation well? --Ngozi osadebe (talk) 12:59, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Wugapodes - hope you are well. I've pinged you in my comments regarding the addition of a topic-ban to the case (added in the last few hours). I see your point in your text for the topic ban, and with regards to this "If Lugnuts wishes to help and can offer a specific plan with measurable objectives, it can be offered and evaluated in an unban request" I'd like to draw your attention to this record of work I've been doing since my article creation ban was enforced. This is work I was doing before the case started, and something I wish to continue with. I don't know how "specific" or "measurable" it is - I just work my way through articles and fix them (about 1 every other day).
If you have any further questions, please get in touch. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 11:44, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
