Hi there, just drawing to your attention in case you can help rectify this. Your instructions and those on the FAC nominations insgtructions page say to click the red link in the box. However, the box says: Anyone who has not significantly contributed to or nominated this article may initiate a nomination. (My emphasis.) Just sayin' - these seem to be contradictory statements. Maybe someone who knows could edit it? Jim Killock (talk) 20:25, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi, The show concept and entire detail was mention in bigg boss Telugu (season 7) with sources.

Hi. I saw you remove the update tag. Although his AEW stuff is updated, his CMLL career is still lacking far behind, see his cagematch. Unfortunately I don't know Spanish to help much. Thanks. BinaryBrainBug ( talk) 18:34, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Referring to your advice ( [1]), please read the message I received on my Talk page. As to your reference to the Middle Ages, I am convinced that if I indeed contributed to a stand-off with an aggressive editor who had filled the article with his own views ignoring the sources he was allegedly citing, I contributed to the improvement of working environment in our community. Our purpose is to build an encyclopedia based on reliable sources, and WP is not a social platform for people who want to spread their own ideas. Borsoka ( talk) 05:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Re this So we should wait until the DYK runs and there's a link to the hook/date and nom from the box on the talk page then? Until today I've never had that edit reverted. Daniel Case ( talk) 18:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
How do I "turn off" the peer review request? I am replacing those sections using a broader selection of sources and have tagged the article as under construction, so it doesn't need reviewing until that's done. If I can't just remove the request, what can I do? Jenhawk777 ( talk) 19:47, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
hello, on the lede modification Fajia, while Oxford could be used just FYI I don't know that it's actually accurate.
It's information isn't intended to be accurate, it's intended to include original arguments. I tried looking up the Fajia and it's figures in the hanshu. They're not listed. Han Fei Shang Yang Shen Buhai are slurred but not under Fajia. Fajia has no one listed. On the other hand, it doesn't speak negatively of li kui.
The truth is I have never been able to locate a list of Fajia. The west always just speaks point blank about them. I even look for it in Chinese. They may not be listed anywhere. FourLights ( talk) 19:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I can make the original more readable, trim it down, without reference to Creel but it was also accurate and fulfilled certain demands originally made of the lede. For instance, it requests earliest thinker. I could run this by you. FourLights ( talk) 20:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

You don't think Socrates is a good or relevant comparison? I could expand on Mozi and the Mohists, I just figured in this case it was better to keep it short and to the point.

Tell those who you love that you do love them. Remember his name. I swear I will never forget. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 04:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Okay, I think I am pretty much done adding and revising. I would love for you to take a look.
I have checked and rechecked the peer review to be sure every item was addressed as well as possible. The article is now a thousand words longer at 12,720 words, but it is without doubt more comprehensive. I hope length doesn't become the issue now.
I took out all the assessments of causes and consequences so often made by historians, since Gog said he didn't like that. I was not able to follow the Cambridge pattern in every section. I'm sorry, there is still too much not in this article to be able to do that comprehensively, but at least everything here is there.
I removed several of the Matthews and Platt citations because that source was questioned. Their book - in its sixth reprint since 1992 I think - is not an art history book per sé, it is a history of the humanities which includes art and architecture, philosophy, religion and literature, but it is correct that it is not solely a history of Christianity either. So I researched "Best histories of Christianity" as well as I could, picked about a dozen, re-researched everything in the Middle Ages, and cited several of them as sources instead. It was the same facts in different words in every case, but that's okay, all material is now sourced to more readily recognized authoritative historical sources.
I removed all references to corruption. There is now only one sentence saying "the failings of successive popes..." If that becomes a problem as well, I give up. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 20:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, AirshipJungleman29,
You set up this bundled nomination incorrectly and so it will be a pain in the a$$ for any admin who tried to close it. You can't just put articles in a list, they have to be formatted correctly according to the guidelines at WP:AFD. Could you take care of this immediately? Thank you. Liz Read!

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello, hope you are well. I noticed your changes at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/March 21 and wondered if it might be possible to tweak it slightly. A few months ago, I added in an entry from 1874 (inaugural Scottish Cup final) as this will be the 150th anniversary of the event. As far as I'm aware, it's never been included in OTD before so it would be appropriate to include this year given the significance of the anniversary. I'm not fussed if the photo is used or not but I would really appreciate it if we could include this year. Thanks, Stevie fae Scotland ( talk) 16:29, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey there, and thanks for promoting one of my DYKs! I accidentally left "the scientific name of" in the hook, so the sentence doesn't go as smoothly, so may you remove that for me in the queue? Thanks! PrimalMustelid ( talk) 14:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for promoting the DYK for the article that I started! I noticed that I didn't use the lang template in my main hook (as to MOS:FOREIGN), so could you update "sobá" to "sobá" for me?

You seem to be pretty irked, but you need to take a moment and remember that civility applies even when someone is having their behavior discussed at ANI. Comments like Do us all a favour and grow up, I don't know why Tony, formerly "one of the outstanding mathletes in the nation", needs his hand held to this extent, and If only you were this cautious about pushing work onto the people you're supposed to be working with are only going to make an amicable solution more difficult to find, and when things are going poorly for them at ANI it's a needless kick in the teeth. This isn't bad advice, but what's the likelihood that they'll be receptive after the hostility? Try and keep that in mind when engaging with someone that you're disagreeing with. Thanks.

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi! Greetings! I had nominated the article MS Dhoni for GA review. A user had taken it up for review but neither did he complete the review nor he reviewed the article according to the laid out guidelines/criteria. I had asked for a second opinion from a different reviewer as the review was not complete which seems to be well within the guidelines ( Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles#Get a second opinion) since there was a dispute with the POV comments raised by the reviewer.

Observed that a tag for tone was added on the Legend section. Request you to kindly elaborate on your concerns or suggest on the improvements required. Redtigerxyz Talk 18:00, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I'm back. I know you're thrilled. I have now added some on Eastern Christianity in every section up to the 1500s. I have not completed the Late Middle Ages or the modern East yet, but I will. My concern now is that the article is once again getting too long - with even more to come. It is now 13508 words. I'm sure there are details that can be edited down, but that is not my strong suit. I need help. Would you be willing to partner with me? Please don't say no just because I occasionally disagree. I will always go check and come back and admit error when I am wrong. You are reasonable and fair and seem to genuinely care about quality, and in my mind that's what matters most. I can, do, and will cooperate on that basis. Your input has already made this article better. It's a really big topic - too much for one person. Please help. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 22:46, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you today for your nice DYK which escaped this page already, but it is featured also on Portal:Germany, - welcome to that. We run a beauty contest in the same set, and yours will win because it's a woman, - that's the impression I get from reading the recent stats there ;) - Congrats also to another GA! - Can you help me to a hook for Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, perhaps? It doesn't matter too much what we say, - key fact is that they still exist. The founder and conductor is a miracle and deserves to be mentioned. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:39, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

The second round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 28 April. This round was particularly competitive: each of the 32 contestants who advanced to Round 3 scored at least 141 points. This is the highest number of points required to advance to Round 3 since 2014.
The following scorers in Round 2 all scored more than 500 points:
The full scores for Round 2 can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 18 featured articles, 22 featured lists, and 186 good articles, 76 in the news credits and at least 200 did you know credits. They have conducted 165 featured article reviews, as well as 399 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 21 articles to featured topics and good topics.
Remember that any content promoted after 28 April but before the start of Round 3 can be claimed during Round 3, which starts on 1 May at 00:00 (UTC). 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.

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron ( talk), via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 08:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
When recently reverting some substantial sock-puppetry in the above article, you also - apparently accidentally - reverted a couple of more modest subsequent edits, both in a quite different part of the article from the sock-puppetry (though not from each other).
As I have had past experience of such side-effects from otherwise needed revisions damaging the comprehensibility of articles and as a quick check confirmed that they had no visible connection to the sock-puppetry and they both seemed to improve the article, I have taken the liberty of editing them back into the article while taking care not to do the same with the sock-puppetry.
If I have been mistaken in doing this, please let me know. Thanks and best wishes. PWilkinson ( talk) 11:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, just wondering what exactly are the problems in The Last Stand at Isandlwana which led you to put the Copy edit tag. I reread the page multiple times before publishing it to be sure it contained no errors or such, if you could be more clear I'll work on fixing the remaining issues. I normally don't edit on en.wiki so if you could guide me it would be mostly appreciated :) Cosma Seini ( talk) 22:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
At Talk:2018–19 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season/GA1, you were disappointed in the prose content when compared to other GAs such as 2008–09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and 2009–10 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season. As I look at Big Ten Year in review summaries like https://web.archive.org/web/20240424202443/https://bigten.org/news/2011/5/11/Big_Ten_Men_s_Basketball_Season_in_Review.aspx https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltca750cef518bc6e4/blt6b5f4cc63e11b4a9/65ed1c7fc26d91c404539666/2011-12_MBB_Season_in_review.pdf and https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltca750cef518bc6e4/blt689776fb6c477d75/65ed1d16a99186453fe7bd8a/2014-15_MBB_Season_in_review.pdf I realize that the Big Ten year in review does not even contain the granularity at the level you seek. Although there are many subjects within the Big Ten that I noted when I wrote the 08-09 and 09-10 articles, maybe they truly belong in the season articles about the teams.- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, just saw your message on how my edit to the page didnt oblige with the NPOV. For my information the only source i have used yet is the OECD which would be a neutral source. As far as i know i have been neutral with my information, but i am new to wikipedia so if you could tell me what exactly was not neutral/encyclopedic about my work i would really appreciate it.

Hello AirshipJungleman29:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hi AirshipJungleman29. I saw your revert of my edit adding Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World as a source on Töregene Khatun. I'm not an expert on this subject matter, so I want to get some more insight if you would not mind. The book is used as a source for a lot of pages so I assumed it would be okay to add here. Can you point me to where I can learn more on why the book is considered unreliable? Arcturus95 ( talk) 18:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, just drawing to your attention in case you can help rectify this. Your instructions and those on the FAC nominations insgtructions page say to click the red link in the box. However, the box says: Anyone who has not significantly contributed to or nominated this article may initiate a nomination. (My emphasis.) Just sayin' - these seem to be contradictory statements.

Referring to your advice ( [1]), please read the message I received on my Talk page. As to your reference to the Middle Ages, I am convinced that if I indeed contributed to a stand-off with an aggressive editor who had filled the article with his own views ignoring the sources he was allegedly citing, I contributed to the improvement of working environment in our community. Our purpose is to build an encyclopedia based on reliable sources, and WP is not a social platform for people who want to spread their own ideas. Borsoka ( talk) 05:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

How do I "turn off" the peer review request? I am replacing those sections using a broader selection of sources and have tagged the article as under construction, so it doesn't need reviewing until that's done.

hello, on the lede modification Fajia, while Oxford could be used just FYI I don't know that it's actually accurate.
It's information isn't intended to be accurate, it's intended to include original arguments. I tried looking up the Fajia and it's figures in the hanshu. They're not listed. Han Fei Shang Yang Shen Buhai are slurred but not under Fajia. Fajia has no one listed. On the other hand, it doesn't speak negatively of li kui.
The truth is I have never been able to locate a list of Fajia. The west always just speaks point blank about them. I even look for it in Chinese. They may not be listed anywhere. FourLights ( talk) 19:53, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I can make the original more readable, trim it down, without reference to Creel but it was also accurate and fulfilled certain demands originally made of the lede. For instance, it requests earliest thinker. I could run this by you. FourLights ( talk) 20:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. 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.

Listen to music from Ukraine if you like, - I heard it in 2022, and the November concert (at a different church) raised a truckload of winter clothes.

You don't think Socrates is a good or relevant comparison? I could expand on Mozi and the Mohists, I just figured in this case it was better to keep it short and to the point. It's not to say it's a perfect draft, I am just surprised that you think I should talk more about them. FourLights ( talk) 00:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Tell those who you love that you do love them. Remember his name. I swear I will never forget. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 ( talk) 04:07, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Okay, I think I am pretty much done adding and revising. I would love for you to take a look.
I have checked and rechecked the peer review to be sure every item was addressed as well as possible. The article is now a thousand words longer at 12,720 words, but it is without doubt more comprehensive. I hope length doesn't become the issue now.
I took out all the assessments of causes and consequences so often made by historians, since Gog said he didn't like that. I was not able to follow the Cambridge pattern in every section. I'm sorry, there is still too much not in this article to be able to do that comprehensively, but at least everything here is there.
I removed several of the Matthews and Platt citations because that source was questioned. Their book - in its sixth reprint since 1992 I think - is not an art history book per sé, it is a history of the humanities which includes art and architecture, philosophy, religion and literature, but it is correct that it is not solely a history of Christianity either. So I researched "Best histories of Christianity" as well as I could, picked about a dozen, re-researched everything in the Middle Ages, and cited several of them as sources instead. It was the same facts in different words in every case, but that's okay, all material is now sourced to more readily recognized authoritative historical sources.
I removed all references to corruption. There is now only one sentence saying "the failings of successive popes..." If that becomes a problem as well, I give up. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 20:59, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, AirshipJungleman29,
You set up this bundled nomination incorrectly and so it will be a pain in the a$$ for any admin who tried to close it. You can't just put articles in a list, they have to be formatted correctly according to the guidelines at WP:AFD. Could you take care of this immediately? Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 06:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hello, hope you are well. I noticed your changes at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/March 21 and wondered if it might be possible to tweak it slightly. A few months ago, I added in an entry from 1874 (inaugural Scottish Cup final) as this will be the 150th anniversary of the event. As far as I'm aware, it's never been included in OTD before so it would be appropriate to include this year given the significance of the anniversary. I'm not fussed if the photo is used or not but I would really appreciate it if we could include this year. Thanks, Stevie fae Scotland ( talk) 16:29, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Hey there, and thanks for promoting one of my DYKs! I accidentally left "the scientific name of" in the hook, so the sentence doesn't go as smoothly, so may you remove that for me in the queue? Thanks! PrimalMustelid ( talk) 14:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for promoting the DYK for the article that I started! I noticed that I didn't use the lang template in my main hook (as to MOS:FOREIGN), so could you update "sobá" to "sobá" for me?

You seem to be pretty irked, but you need to take a moment and remember that civility applies even when someone is having their behavior discussed at ANI. Comments like Do us all a favour and grow up, I don't know why Tony, formerly "one of the outstanding mathletes in the nation", needs his hand held to this extent, and If only you were this cautious about pushing work onto the people you're supposed to be working with are only going to make an amicable solution more difficult to find, and when things are going poorly for them at ANI it's a needless kick in the teeth. This isn't bad advice, but what's the likelihood that they'll be receptive after the hostility? Try and keep that in mind when engaging with someone that you're disagreeing with. Thanks.

Hello AirshipJungleman29,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Hi! Greetings! I had nominated the article MS Dhoni for GA review. A user had taken it up for review but neither did he complete the review nor he reviewed the article according to the laid out guidelines/criteria. I had asked for a second opinion from a different reviewer as the review was not complete which seems to be well within the guidelines ( Wikipedia:Reviewing good articles#Get a second opinion) since there was a dispute with the POV comments raised by the reviewer. Let me know if I am missing something here. Thanks! Magentic Manifestations ( talk) 03:34, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'm back. I know you're thrilled. I have now added some on Eastern Christianity in every section up to the 1500s. I have not completed the Late Middle Ages or the modern East yet, but I will. My concern now is that the article is once again getting too long - with even more to come. It is now 13508 words. I'm sure there are details that can be edited down, but that is not my strong suit. I need help. Would you be willing to partner with me? Please don't say no just because I occasionally disagree. I will always go check and come back and admit error when I am wrong. You are reasonable and fair and seem to genuinely care about quality, and in my mind that's what matters most. I can, do, and will cooperate on that basis. Your input has already made this article better. It's a really big topic - too much for one person. Please help. Jenhawk777 ( talk) 22:46, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

When recently reverting some substantial sock-puppetry in the above article, you also - apparently accidentally - reverted a couple of more modest subsequent edits, both in a quite different part of the article from the sock-puppetry (though not from each other).
As I have had past experience of such side-effects from otherwise needed revisions damaging the comprehensibility of articles and as a quick check confirmed that they had no visible connection to the sock-puppetry and they both seemed to improve the article, I have taken the liberty of editing them back into the article while taking care not to do the same with the sock-puppetry.
If I have been mistaken in doing this, please let me know. Thanks and best wishes. PWilkinson ( talk) 11:51, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, just wondering what exactly are the problems in The Last Stand at Isandlwana which led you to put the Copy edit tag. I reread the page multiple times before publishing it to be sure it contained no errors or such, if you could be more clear I'll work on fixing the remaining issues. I normally don't edit on en.wiki so if you could guide me it would be mostly appreciated :) Cosma Seini ( talk) 22:19, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
At Talk:2018–19 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season/GA1, you were disappointed in the prose content when compared to other GAs such as 2008–09 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season and 2009–10 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season. As I look at Big Ten Year in review summaries like https://web.archive.org/web/20240424202443/https://bigten.org/news/2011/5/11/Big_Ten_Men_s_Basketball_Season_in_Review.aspx https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltca750cef518bc6e4/blt6b5f4cc63e11b4a9/65ed1c7fc26d91c404539666/2011-12_MBB_Season_in_review.pdf and https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltca750cef518bc6e4/blt689776fb6c477d75/65ed1d16a99186453fe7bd8a/2014-15_MBB_Season_in_review.pdf I realize that the Big Ten year in review does not even contain the granularity at the level you seek. Although there are many subjects within the Big Ten that I noted when I wrote the 08-09 and 09-10 articles, maybe they truly belong in the season articles about the teams.- TonyTheTiger ( T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Core Contest participants, we've officially hit the halfway mark! With just over three weeks remaining until the May 31 deadline (23:59 UTC), it's time to ramp up our efforts. Remember, Wikipedia wants to be edited!
Now is a good time to set goals for your article: What section needs the most improvement? Which sources remain unused? How can you best spend your time? Good luck and happy editing! Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24. – Aza24 (talk) 02:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi, just saw your message on how my edit to the page didnt oblige with the NPOV. For my information the only source i have used yet is the OECD which would be a neutral source. As far as i know i have been neutral with my information, but i am new to wikipedia so if you could tell me what exactly was not neutral/encyclopedic about my work i would really appreciate it.

Hello, AirshipJungleman29. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Wyrdsong, 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) 22:06, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
I see you saw me write "No italics, per the ref" on the ol' T.J. Berry. As a Canadian who agrees wholeheartedly with your User Page's opening line, I'm deeply sorry for that. Just had a moderately long day, partially involving the removal of bona fide italics. I know what initials are, seriously, and will try harder to write right tomorrow. Hope you understand and keep up the good reviews! InedibleHulk ( talk) 01:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello AirshipJungleman29:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

Hi AirshipJungleman29. I saw your revert of my edit adding Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World as a source on Töregene Khatun. I'm not an expert on this subject matter, so I want to get some more insight if you would not mind. The book is used as a source for a lot of pages so I assumed it would be okay to add here. Can you point me to where I can learn more on why the book is considered unreliable? Arcturus95 ( talk) 18:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
I just wanted to say a big thank you to you for removing the GAR on this article, which many others including myself have contributed to over the past couple of years. Prspiring ( talk) 21:57, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
