Hi
Thanks for your review of Greece–Turkey relations. One of the reasons you quick failed is due to failed neutrality.
This page has suffered edit warring and I tried my best to balance all the perspectives and all narrative is supported by sources. If I read the Wikipedia guideline, "It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each" and I believe it achieves that.
It would be helpful if you can explain where that so it can be corrected.
Elias ( talk) 16:55, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
A neutral characterization of disputes requires presenting viewpoints with a consistently impartial tone; otherwise, articles end up as partisan commentaries even while presenting all relevant points of view. Even where a topic is presented in terms of facts rather than opinions, inappropriate tones can be introduced through how facts are selected, presented, or organized.The article consistently presents opinions from sources as fact, and is not helped by spelling/grammar mistakes, which generally confuse things even more. Examples solely from the contemporary history section (the most problematic one) include:
On 6 December 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Patrick Tambay, which you nominated and updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. — Bagumba ( talk) 01:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

@ HistoryofIran, @ Srnec, @ Mccapra, @ Alexandermcnabb, @ Iskandar323, @ Kansas Bear:
Hello all, I believe we're all aware of this glut of terrible "battle" articles which seem to be constantly popping up, all following the same pattern: unclear references only citing offline and often-medieval sources; inflation of minor coverage into a "Battle of ..." title; fairly terrible prose often verging on plagiarism; and the consistent focus on how one side (normally the Turkic one) decisively wins.
I personally think it very likely that there is some connection to this thread at the admin's noticeboard, considering the timing.
Any thoughts on how to proceed? Either (1) just continuing to PROD and AfD these articles ad infinitum until their creators (rather inevitably) get blocked, or (2) take it to some higher authority, or (3) something else? AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 18:10, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for your edits to BHU, however, you have removed 5 notable colleges of the city without asking anyone aware on the subject. I believe it was a bit of exceeding on editing Wikipedia. Nonetheless, I have reverted your concerned edits, you can take them to AfD, if you wish. But, in the interest of time constraints of everyone, as I said, they are notable colleges, all 8-9 or even 10 decades old, recognised by the UGC as public colleges. And, if you go by that yardstick of removing colleges, most Indian colleges shall be removed from WP. Thank you, User4edits ( talk) 09:54, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hi, I believe you closed this discussion in error. To begin with, nobody expressed an opinion, and therefore ther was no consensus, Moreover, you wrote that "the general references are in German and are thus in doubt under WP:V". This is mistaken, because WP:RSUE, part of WP:V, provides: "Citations to non-English reliable sources are allowed on the English Wikipedia." Please undo the closure.

Thank you today for the article, introduced: I present Ai-Khanoum, one of the greatest discoveries of modern archaeology, and sadly, one of its greatest losses. In 1961, the King of Afghanistan found a massive city founded by Alexander's successors in the shadows of the Himalaya, untouched for two millennia and lying just inches below the soil. But the modern world had to have its say—a team of French archaeologists got just a dozen years of underfunded excavation in before Afghanistan collapsed into chaos. Since then, the site has been looted, plundered, and ransacked almost beyond imagination. Such a loss."! Happy new year! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Hi there,
I'd be interested to hear how you think adding Charles Darwin's coat of arms falls under WP:UNDUE - coat of arms are not in dispute, and do not represent any kind of fair or balanced viewpoint - they are simply owned by the armiger and many famous people on Wikipedia have had their coat of arms added to their page as part of WikiProject Heraldry. Further, Burke's General Armory is one of the standout and accurate sources for Crests and Arms from the period, if those were the grounds upon which you undid my edit. Please let me know. -Ben1we Ben1we ( talk) 15:54, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

On 22 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alexandria Ariana, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the ruined stronghold of Alexandria Ariana, a city founded by Alexander the Great, may lie underneath the citadel of Herat (pictured) in present-day Afghanistan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alexandria Ariana. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Alexandria Ariana), 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.

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hi -- I saw that Rhain's question on ChristieBot's talk page was prompted by a note from your suggesting they might review more. You might find the table collapsed in this discussion useful; it'll let you check whether someone has had a name change that would lead to a substantive change in their review count, and you could then modify the message you leave accordingly.

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
I hope you are well. Thank you for spending so much time on this. Your comments so far on this article have been extremely useful so I assure you your time has been well spent. I hope this article may have some small effect on the real world, perhaps by providing a jumping off point for journalists or academics new to the subject researching Russian energy influence or the proposed gas hub.
There is no rush from my point of view but I am just dropping you this note to remind you not to forget to finish this off with all your other activities.

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Bucephalus, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) ( talk) 20:04, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
You might have guessed already from my minimal contributions, but due to IRL business and other WP commitments, I don't think I can assist with Genghis's article. I will be more than happy to review the content or advise on any obstacles along the way though, please let me know. – Aza24 (talk) 22:11, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
Hey AirshipJungleman29, I wanted to ask if you would possibly be interested in reviewing the Irish nationality law article at FAC? You promoted my other article on Philippine nationality law to GA recently (thanks for going over that as well by the way) and so I thought I'd reach out since they're similar in subject matter. Thanks, Horserice ( talk) 00:22, 12 April 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Boukephala and Nikaia 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.

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere 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 AirshipJungleman29. Thanks for your reply about OTD. My comments were (quite reasonably) reverted... By the time everyone got around to it, it was inarguably no longer an error (outdated). And even on the correct date, it was only arguably an error (matter of opinion as to relative notability). But I didn't know where else to mention it... Moreover, tks for your kind words about BF43. Cheers. § Lingzhi.Renascence ( talk) 00:45, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

How do I download my biography on Wikipedia? -- Goddy Junior ( talk) 08:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
I belatedly saw your request at WP:ORCP. I'd like to offer some opinion, which is worth every coin you spent in paying for it :)
You shouldn't ever approach your contributions here with the idea that you are writing your resume for adminship. If you are interested in doing administrator type things, there are plenty of ways to become involved without being an administrator. A long time ago, somebody accused me of doing nothing on the project. That irritated me, so I started keeping a log of most of the things I did. It can be viewed at User:Hammersoft/log. That's almost entirely things I did before I became an administrator. Much of it has been replaced by me using admin tools. I'm not suggesting you develop a page like that. Rather, it's perhaps some inspiration for how you can contribute in admin related things if that is what interests you. After a while of doing things like that, it eventually will get to a point where it becomes annoying to not have the admin tool set. That's what happened to me.
That said, there are things you're going to have to check off for the occasional naysayers. I would wait until February 2024 before running; that'd be two years since you became truly active. Increase your activity at WP:AFD. Also, make reports to WP:AIV. I find the user creation log and filtering the recent changes report like this finds a number of vandals. This is the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of ways to contribute. But, again, it's all about that you want to contribute in that way, not that you want to write your resume to be an admin. It's the other way around.
Let me know if you have questions. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 23:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello AirshipJungleman29,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
Hello, I see you removed the GA nomination for Wind Turbine. I am wondering how much you need to contribute to be considered a significant contributor. If I fixed all the citations you talked about would that make me one? Or do you need to contribute whole paragraphs and so on? Also, I want to fix the citations. Could you provide a few examples. I appreciate your time, Knowledgegatherer23 ( talk) 04:23, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello! You've been regularly removing content from the Iron Maiden group site for the last few days. I don't know if you are aware of the fact that you have removed a lot of valuable information and sources. For thousands of people, the group's website has been a treasure trove of PROVEN knowledge about the band and these types of ignorance and actions are not seen as positive. I assume that you have good will and do not deliberately act to the detriment of the group's image. So I have a proposition. You could restore all the content and move individual page sequences as separate articles. There would be a link and a short description on the main page, which can be found in a separate article. In this way, the theme and content would be preserved and the size of the main page would be significantly reduced. I understand it's more difficult than deleting everything (you cut out half a page), however, respect someone's work and its results. Please think it over. ~~ RALFFPL ( talk) 08:47, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I've just noticed you trimmed and cancelled some infos on Iron Maiden's accolades page. Could you tell me more about you motivation?! In the introduction to the article, you can get acquainted with the principles of its creation and the approach to the topic. Why did you completely cut out information regarding Iron Maiden's business awards. I mean Trooper beer. The information has disappeared from the band's website as well as the prize page. This is an important part of marketing activity - and this is also the area of the group's activity that deserves a description. On other pages dedicated to the group, we have these descriptions. You removed them from the English wiki. We worked with a few people to describe the facts related to Trooper beer (2012 - 2023) in a simple way, it was necessary and interesting. Did it have to be removed as it is a very important part of Maiden's marketing activities!!!??? RALFFPL ( talk) 09:30, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
The New Page Patrol team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

A tag has been placed on Category:GAR/72 indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:12, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

I feel that might've been a bit pre-emptive, as looking at it none of the projects were notified it was ongoing, especially given only one person voted. I think it should be reopened and at the very least a message left on WT:VG that it's ongoing so it can get both a proper assessment but also garner some work fixing it up. It's too high priority not to encourage that, I literally didn't know it was a thing until I saw it removed.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 13:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi
Thanks for your review of Greece–Turkey relations. One of the reasons you quick failed is due to failed neutrality.
This page has suffered edit warring and I tried my best to balance all the perspectives and all narrative is supported by sources. If I read the Wikipedia guideline, "It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each" and I believe it achieves that.
It would be helpful if you can explain where that so it can be corrected.
Elias ( talk) 16:55, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
A neutral characterization of disputes requires presenting viewpoints with a consistently impartial tone; otherwise, articles end up as partisan commentaries even while presenting all relevant points of view. Even where a topic is presented in terms of facts rather than opinions, inappropriate tones can be introduced through how facts are selected, presented, or organized.The article consistently presents opinions from sources as fact, and is not helped by spelling/grammar mistakes, which generally confuse things even more. Examples solely from the contemporary history section (the most problematic one) include:
On 6 December 2022, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Patrick Tambay, which you nominated and updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. — Bagumba ( talk) 01:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

@ HistoryofIran, @ Srnec, @ Mccapra, @ Alexandermcnabb, @ Iskandar323, @ Kansas Bear:
Hello all, I believe we're all aware of this glut of terrible "battle" articles which seem to be constantly popping up, all following the same pattern: unclear references only citing offline and often-medieval sources; inflation of minor coverage into a "Battle of ..." title; fairly terrible prose often verging on plagiarism; and the consistent focus on how one side (normally the Turkic one) decisively wins.
I personally think it very likely that there is some connection to this thread at the admin's noticeboard, considering the timing.
Any thoughts on how to proceed? Either (1) just continuing to PROD and AfD these articles ad infinitum until their creators (rather inevitably) get blocked, or (2) take it to some higher authority, or (3) something else? AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 18:10, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for your edits to BHU, however, you have removed 5 notable colleges of the city without asking anyone aware on the subject. I believe it was a bit of exceeding on editing Wikipedia. Nonetheless, I have reverted your concerned edits, you can take them to AfD, if you wish. But, in the interest of time constraints of everyone, as I said, they are notable colleges, all 8-9 or even 10 decades old, recognised by the UGC as public colleges. And, if you go by that yardstick of removing colleges, most Indian colleges shall be removed from WP. Thank you, User4edits ( talk) 09:54, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hi, I believe you closed this discussion in error. To begin with, nobody expressed an opinion, and therefore ther was no consensus, Moreover, you wrote that "the general references are in German and are thus in doubt under WP:V". This is mistaken, because WP:RSUE, part of WP:V, provides: "Citations to non-English reliable sources are allowed on the English Wikipedia." Please undo the closure.

Thank you today for the article, introduced: I present Ai-Khanoum, one of the greatest discoveries of modern archaeology, and sadly, one of its greatest losses. In 1961, the King of Afghanistan found a massive city founded by Alexander's successors in the shadows of the Himalaya, untouched for two millennia and lying just inches below the soil. But the modern world had to have its say—a team of French archaeologists got just a dozen years of underfunded excavation in before Afghanistan collapsed into chaos. Since then, the site has been looted, plundered, and ransacked almost beyond imagination. Such a loss."! Happy new year! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:26, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

You may want to notice that your redirect of this article was reverted by a "new user". Rather intriguing that a "new user" knew to go to that particular battle and revert your redirect. Anyway, stay safe. -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 19:28, 26 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi, just questions about your edit about Glyndwr... Such as why did you delete relevant information and also why has the page been altered as such after being tidied previously?? There's plenty to discuss... Cltjames ( talk) 21:15, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'd be interested to hear how you think adding Charles Darwin's coat of arms falls under WP:UNDUE - coat of arms are not in dispute, and do not represent any kind of fair or balanced viewpoint - they are simply owned by the armiger and many famous people on Wikipedia have had their coat of arms added to their page as part of WikiProject Heraldry. Further, Burke's General Armory is one of the standout and accurate sources for Crests and Arms from the period, if those were the grounds upon which you undid my edit. Please let me know. -Ben1we Ben1we ( talk) 15:54, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

On 22 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Alexandria Ariana, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the ruined stronghold of Alexandria Ariana, a city founded by Alexander the Great, may lie underneath the citadel of Herat (pictured) in present-day Afghanistan? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Alexandria Ariana. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Alexandria Ariana), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hello AirshipJungleman29. I am just letting you know that I deleted Draft:Siege of Aydusanc, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which didn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 14:57, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

A tag has been placed on Category:European League of Football rosters indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself. Liz Read!

Hi AirshipJungleman, I noticed that the Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña/1 closure did not remove the article from the GA lists.

Hi -- I saw that Rhain's question on ChristieBot's talk page was prompted by a note from your suggesting they might review more. You might find the table collapsed in this discussion useful; it'll let you check whether someone has had a name change that would lead to a substantive change in their review count, and you could then modify the message you leave accordingly.

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
I hope you are well. Thank you for spending so much time on this. Your comments so far on this article have been extremely useful so I assure you your time has been well spent. I hope this article may have some small effect on the real world, perhaps by providing a jumping off point for journalists or academics new to the subject researching Russian energy influence or the proposed gas hub.
There is no rush from my point of view but I am just dropping you this note to remind you not to forget to finish this off with all your other activities.

Hey AirshipJungleman29, I wanted to ask if you would possibly be interested in reviewing the Irish nationality law article at FAC?

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required).

Hi AirshipJungleman29. Thanks for your reply about OTD. My comments were (quite reasonably) reverted... By the time everyone got around to it, it was inarguably no longer an error (outdated). And even on the correct date, it was only arguably an error (matter of opinion as to relative notability). But I didn't know where else to mention it... Moreover, tks for your kind words about BF43.

How do I download my biography on Wikipedia? -- Goddy Junior ( talk) 08:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
I belatedly saw your request at WP:ORCP. I'd like to offer some opinion, which is worth every coin you spent in paying for it :)
You shouldn't ever approach your contributions here with the idea that you are writing your resume for adminship. If you are interested in doing administrator type things, there are plenty of ways to become involved without being an administrator. A long time ago, somebody accused me of doing nothing on the project. That irritated me, so I started keeping a log of most of the things I did. It can be viewed at User:Hammersoft/log. That's almost entirely things I did before I became an administrator. Much of it has been replaced by me using admin tools. I'm not suggesting you develop a page like that. Rather, it's perhaps some inspiration for how you can contribute in admin related things if that is what interests you. After a while of doing things like that, it eventually will get to a point where it becomes annoying to not have the admin tool set. That's what happened to me.
That said, there are things you're going to have to check off for the occasional naysayers. I would wait until February 2024 before running; that'd be two years since you became truly active. Increase your activity at WP:AFD. Also, make reports to WP:AIV. I find the user creation log and filtering the recent changes report like this finds a number of vandals. This is the tip of the iceberg. There are lots of ways to contribute. But, again, it's all about that you want to contribute in that way, not that you want to write your resume to be an admin. It's the other way around.
Let me know if you have questions. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 23:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello AirshipJungleman29,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
Hello, I see you removed the GA nomination for Wind Turbine. I am wondering how much you need to contribute to be considered a significant contributor. If I fixed all the citations you talked about would that make me one? Or do you need to contribute whole paragraphs and so on? Also, I want to fix the citations. Could you provide a few examples. I appreciate your time, Knowledgegatherer23 ( talk) 04:23, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
Hello! You've been regularly removing content from the Iron Maiden group site for the last few days. I don't know if you are aware of the fact that you have removed a lot of valuable information and sources. For thousands of people, the group's website has been a treasure trove of PROVEN knowledge about the band and these types of ignorance and actions are not seen as positive. I assume that you have good will and do not deliberately act to the detriment of the group's image. So I have a proposition. You could restore all the content and move individual page sequences as separate articles. There would be a link and a short description on the main page, which can be found in a separate article. In this way, the theme and content would be preserved and the size of the main page would be significantly reduced. I understand it's more difficult than deleting everything (you cut out half a page), however, respect someone's work and its results. Please think it over. ~~ RALFFPL ( talk) 08:47, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Hi! I've just noticed you trimmed and cancelled some infos on Iron Maiden's accolades page. Could you tell me more about you motivation?! In the introduction to the article, you can get acquainted with the principles of its creation and the approach to the topic. Why did you completely cut out information regarding Iron Maiden's business awards. I mean Trooper beer. The information has disappeared from the band's website as well as the prize page. This is an important part of marketing activity - and this is also the area of the group's activity that deserves a description. On other pages dedicated to the group, we have these descriptions. You removed them from the English wiki. We worked with a few people to describe the facts related to Trooper beer (2012 - 2023) in a simple way, it was necessary and interesting. Did it have to be removed as it is a very important part of Maiden's marketing activities!!!??? RALFFPL ( talk) 09:30, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

I feel that might've been a bit pre-emptive, as looking at it none of the projects were notified it was ongoing, especially given only one person voted. I think it should be reopened and at the very least a message left on WT:VG that it's ongoing so it can get both a proper assessment but also garner some work fixing it up. It's too high priority not to encourage that, I literally didn't know it was a thing until I saw it removed.-- Kung Fu Man ( talk) 13:09, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
