Hi. I urgently need the link to that Zoom meeting with the BoT in July. I've spent an hour going through the NPP talk page but can't find where you mentioned it, or the discussion with the Vice Chair who was posting there. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 09:04, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I would like your suggestions how to best help Gondolabúrguer better understand drafts, AfC, and redirecting or simply recreating his drafts again in mainspace. See their tp. Cheers, Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 02:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

An unreleased album may qualify for an article if there is sufficient verifiable and properly referenced information about it—for example, Guns N' Roses' 2008 album Chinese Democracy had an article as early as 2004, because it was already receiving a very large volume of reliable source coverage about Axl Rose's complicated stop-start process of making it. This generally applies to more high-profile projects, and an album should not generally have an independent article until its title, track listing and release date have all been publicly confirmed by the artist or their record label.'Atsme 💬 📧 16:05, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Hello Atsme! It's been a crazy long time since we've interacted, so I don't blame you if you don't remember me, but no matter! I recall your efforts in the Wikipedia Equine community and thought I'd ask a favor. I'm currently doing a project in college regarding uses of literacy in a community and I thought that you'd be a great person to do an "interview" with in regards to that. (I was hoping to focus on the Equine Wikipedia community). Would you care to answer some questions for this project? We could do it over email if you'd like; if you'd rather not participate in this, (I'm happy to go over more details) then I completely understand! Please let me know, I look forward to hearing your response! Horsegeek (talk) 02:15, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Flowers for the dead. - Today's recommended reading: Opera in Ukraine! - 1 September: I remembered the Vespro della Beata Vergine, 2 September: the last of the Rheingau Musik Festival concerts, and yesterday we read The Story of Mr Sommer, and followed Ruth Lapide. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:32, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
a rainbow pic today, and a deer yesterday (but hard to see) - Jubilate Deo -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:35, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
the rose pic was taken on 11 Sep 2021, and this year was full of music that day, Tag des offenen Denkmals, not only singing in church and rehearsals for Verdi's Requiem, but two concerts at special places pictured, one a synagogue (pictured on its wall). Today three DYK: a piece we'll perform on Sunday, a violinist we heard in June playing the Berg Concerto, and a Youth Orchestra shaped by a conductor who recently died. Almost too much of a good thing. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 14:10, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
today, we sang old music for two choirs at church, pictured, scroll to the image of the organ of the month of the Diocese of Limburg (my perspective), and if you have time, watch the video about it -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 18:53, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi Atsme!
I saw your endorsement of IndyNotes' request for NPP and said to myself, "Wow, I wish I was as cool as that guy." I'd love to enroll in your course. I'm a new-ish editor that loves contributing here and I'd like to keep expanding my capabilities and learning more. — That Coptic Guy ( let's talk?) 18:07, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I'd be interested in doing your NPP training. Nolabob ( talk) 01:25, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, I appreciate you reaching out to me! I apologize for my delay. My interest in wiki editing tends to wax and wane so it's not uncommon for me to have prolonged inactivity. I'd say it's akin to hyperfixation; my interests rotate.
In relation to NPP, I've actually been considering for awhile asking for it's removal. I still find getting into it stifling, and while I learned a lot from your course, I'm not excited about getting into wiki-disputes if I start nominating for deletion. This has resulted in me kinda just holding the right without using it much, and that makes me feel icky. I understood that deletion processes was part of it during the course, and at the time I wanted to devote my energy to that. But after some reflection in recent months... I dunno if I do anymore.
Anyway, just wanted to update you. I responded here since I've recently archived July-September on my own talk page. I hope all is well yourself? — Sirdog ( talk) 04:44, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

What the vandal Assholea did to Justapedia (which has not even been officially launched, and I have a feeling I know exactly who the vandal is), is part of the reason editors are looking for alternatives. Anybody who disagrees with WP's POV warriors is attacked and humiliated. We just witnessed it at ANI, but it goes on all the time. I have done nothing wrong, and no one deserves the treatment I have been subjected to over the years, all the while turning the other cheek, maintaining a polite posture, and doing the best I can to help build this encyclopedia. The editor(s) at ANI who launched what appears to be an all-out attack against me should be blocked for their behavior, not encouraged or ignored - BLOCKED. They have violated the Code of Conduct, and are being disruptive. Doug, I thank you for your concern, but I decline to engage for obvious reasons, such as experience in knowing what I'd be subjected to if I did. As always, I send you my best wishes...

Hi. Could you do me a favour and go through all the requests at Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements, and Archive #2, and mark as 'support' any that have not been ticketed at Phab but which you think are worth doing.

Hi, Atsme, after completing your NPP Training (thanks again for that), I was granted NPP Reviewer status and have started reviews. I came across a new article in the feed for a sporting event that has not yet taken place and has scant citations at present. I think it best that this article be moved to draftspace. How do I do this? Or does it need to first be marked AfD? I'm reluctant to nominate it for deletion because I think it will soon have suitable citations, just not yet. Thanks for the coaching! Nolabob ( talk) 13:44, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Hope all is well.
I just posted an appeal to my topic ban at the administrators noticeboard. You were supportive in my last appeal, and I would appreciate if you could share your rationale for having done so in the discussion of my current appeal. Perhaps even review my latest appeal and consider sharing whether or not you would again support lifting my topic ban.
Best wishes. SecretName101 ( talk) 18:08, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hey Atsme! Wanted to pop in and say hi! Life has been busy lately, so I have had less time to edit as of late. Still around, though. Really proud of the NPP team for getting the backlog down to zero.

I also happened across Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/School/Graduates/Atsme when looking through all the NPR pages (I like Wikiarchaeology!). By a strange coincidence, last week I discovered {{ Date table sorting}}, which allows for dates to be sorted correctly in a table (Jan, Feb, March... instead of April, August, December...). You also do not need to use {{ noping}}, because you are not including your username in the edit. I did not make either change myself because it feels like editing your comments, which I am not a huge fan of ( Lint is different). Cheers, House Blaster talk 03:20, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to be considered for NPP training. Back in 2014, I was a patroller with the associated rights (with an old account, password lost).

I thought this might interest you. I came across this article, and was immediately struck by how one-sided and negatively tilted it was. I am of a mind to bring some balance here, but it could probably use a lot of eyes and a lot of hands. BD2412 T 03:36, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.
The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.
The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.
This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Hello Atsme,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
You seem to be something of a custodian for the Belle Meade, Tennessee page. If so, I want to advise you that neither Montgomery Bell Academy nor Vince and Amy Gill's house are actually located in Belle Meade, though both are certainly nearby. You may have the :WP:RS|reliable sources at hand to validate this; I presently do not but know this to be the case. 2600:1004:B11B:107A:3D1E:3521:1016:2612 ( talk) 2600:1004:B11B:107A:3D1E:3521:1016:2612 ( talk) 04:20, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

You also do not need to use {{ noping}}, because you are not including your username in the edit. I did not make either change myself because it feels like editing your comments, which I am not a huge fan of ( Lint is different). Cheers, House Blaster talk 03:20, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to be considered for NPP training. Back in 2014, I was a patroller with the associated rights (with an old account, password lost). I'm sure lots has changed since I was last active in this space and I've forgotten a lot, so I'd really appreciate it if you could teach me a bit. Let me know!

While I haven’t interacted with you in a while, I wanted to say thank you for the help you provide at NPP and NPPSCHOOL (the best school on Wikipedia IMO). I hope you have a great day and that you continue doing your things at NPP. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 18:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC) |
Awww...that was so kind of you to say, Zippybonzo!! It was my absolute pleasure and honor to tutor you as a student who has mountains of potential to be whatever they want to be if they set their mind to it as you have demonstrated. Keep up the good work!! 🤗 Atsme 💬 📧 16:09, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I thought this might interest you. I came across this article, and was immediately struck by how one-sided and negatively tilted it was. I am of a mind to bring some balance here, but it could probably use a lot of eyes and a lot of hands. BD2412 T 03:36, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to updates on the Arbitration Committee's discretionary sanctions review process.
The Arbitration Committee has concluded the 2021-22 review of the contentious topics system (formerly known as discretionary sanctions), and its final decision is viewable at the revision process page. As part of the review process, the Arbitration Committee has resolved by motion that:
The above proposals that are supported by an absolute majority of unrecused active arbitrators are hereby enacted. The drafting arbitrators (CaptainEek, L235, and Wugapodes) are directed to take the actions necessary to bring the proposals enacted by this motion into effect, including by amending the procedures at WP:AC/P and WP:AC/DS. The authority granted to the drafting arbitrators by this motion expires one month after enactment.
The Arbitration Committee thanks all those who have participated in the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process and all who have helped bring it to a successful conclusion. This motion concludes the 2021-22 discretionary sanctions review process.
This motion initiates a one-month implementation period for the updates to the contentious topics system. The Arbitration Committee will announce when the initial implementation of the Committee's decision has concluded and the amendments made by the drafting arbitrators in accordance with the Committee's decision take effect. Any editors interested in the implementation process are invited to assist at the implementation talk page, and editors interested in updates may subscribe to the update list.

Hello Atsme,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
You seem to be something of a custodian for the Belle Meade, Tennessee page. If so, I want to advise you that neither Montgomery Bell Academy nor Vince and Amy Gill's house are actually located in Belle Meade, though both are certainly nearby. You may have the :WP:RS|reliable sources at hand to validate this; I presently do not but know this to be the case. 2600:1004:B11B:107A:3D1E:3521:1016:2612 ( talk) 2600:1004:B11B:107A:3D1E:3521:1016:2612 ( talk) 04:20, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello, In your edit Revision as of 15:52, 2 January 2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Glacier_National_Park_(U.S.)&oldid=997856825 it seems you changed a phrase that averaged the annual number of visitors over ten years to an "average" over one year ("averaged about 3.5 million visitors in 2019"). Was this your intent? Polebridge ( talk) 20:15, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi Atsme. What's going on with the NCHA articles? dawnleelynn (talk) 21:03, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
I would like your opinion on a photograph I have clipped but I cannot send it through Wikimail and don't want to upload it without an assessment.
