Hello. As you're currently listed as a host at the Teahouse, I wanted to make sure you're aware of the imminent rollout of new Growth Team Features which every new account will be getting by default. Each users will soon see a new 'Homepage' tab next to their User page. It contains two main elements which might impact on your involvement - and you'd be welcome to get involved and help out directly with one of them.
To spread the load on our current list of around 65 mentors, I'm reaching out to ask if you'd like to help out and sign up as one? The workload is relatively small; User Panini! reports receiving four questions a month, on average, all of which were simple ones of the type we already get at the Teahouse, whilst I've had just one in the last 3 weeks. To view a list of every question asked of all mentors over the last 14 days, click here.
If becoming a mentor and being available to help new users on their first few days here interests you - just as you already do at the Teahouse - then please consider signing up at Growth Team features/Mentor list. But please only do so if you can genuinely be available to help new users with a reasonably timely response. Existing users can already 'opt-in' to seeing the Newcomer Homepage features via their Preferences.
Thank you! Nick Moyes ( talk) 11:04, 25 February 2022 (UTC) PS: How are things going for you these days? Hope college is doing OK. (I note you're still described as a 'high school' student at the Teahouse. Feel free to leave or change it as you see fit.) Nick.

Hi Clever. I have found, including with my own RfA, that concerns about RfA are often bigger for the candidate than the community as a whole. If you would ever like to discuss those concerns know my talk page and email box are open to you. I'll end with about the only thing I know about RfA with a huge degree of certainty: "The single best indicator that you're ready to run is respected editors, especially sysops, telling you that you're ready to run" so if there are others who echo Ymblanter I hope you'd reconsider your NOTQUITEYET stance.

Clover, I appreciate your recent edits on the Minersville page, but I agree with your original assessment. The Nazi Germany section was irrelevant to the page itself, which should be about the case, so I have edited it. Let me know what you think. Vyselink ( talk) 18:16, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Clovermoss:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long
Good Article Editathon event in July 2022!
Running from July 1 to 31, 2022, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event focused on the topic of women and the environment. Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works during the event period (with an emphasis on environmental links and topics). GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
Alanna the Brave ( talk) 13:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Thanks for your question about article assessment at St. Catharines. I don't know much about assessment, and just about every article I've ever written has been a stub. One article I wrote, Kodak Black, has had 1,177,452 views in the past year, and is still rated as "start" and "low-importance", and I've only taken one article, Lake Ontario Ordnance Works, to "good article". My biggest concern with St. Catharines is that it needs to be re-ordered to correspond with WP:CCSG. This is an issue with many Canadian articles. I find that once an article has a solid and familiar outline, the editing improves. But I agree St. Catharines is a "C", as it has lots of unsourced sections that is just basically "stuff people know" which gets added to the article in good faith. Oh, and I had one Canadian article, Val Gagné, Ontario, featured on a "Did you know". Cheers! Magnolia677 ( talk) 17:45, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Ontario is a magnificent place and I've been fortunate to do a few road trips there. Morningstar Mill is well done, as is Burgoyne Bridge (too bad about the suicides). A while back I wrote Multi-way bridge, which the world needs more of. I also forgot about St. Johns, Ontario in Thorold, which I expanded from a redirect, and which had a "did you know".
An article which torments me is Florida, Cochrane District. A few years back I recall reading a short history of Florida, something about how the rugged farmers gave it a go, but were hampered by the short growing season, and the cost of shipping produce to market. I've search all over for this source again, with no luck.
I'm sharing with you some of the Ontario (and one Quebec) articles I've written, because many of the sources were hard to find, and may help you with your research.
Also, this is an excellent resource.
Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 10:02, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Clovermoss. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at
WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. – Joe ( talk) 14:16, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
My mother is referenced here: /info/en/?search=Cecile_Josp%C3%A9
But her name is Cecil, not Cecile. The page was originally created by the Women in Red project.
How can I change the headline name?
Thanks,

Thank you. There is also a typo in the description of this link: Fenwick, Simon (May 27, 2004). "Ceil Jospé; Artist and photographer" The second "c" in her name is missing; the link is fine. Could you change that please as I am not sure how to edit these links.

Hey there Clovermoss, it's nice to meet you. I've been working on a draft for HB Antwerp, a diamond company based in Antwerp currently mentioned in the Sewelo article. I noticed that you are an AfC reviewer and an active member of WP:BELGIUM, so thought you might be interested in taking a look. Do you think it's ready to be included?

In Project Surname you wrote "Polar Inuit specifically had different naming customs that involved gendered names." Do you know if that is Greenlandic Inuit of specifically Inughuit? Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 07:06, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
This is even more off-topic, so I'm starting a new one. You mentioned editing at night; I'm guessing you've probably heard about human responses to the timing of light exposure, and presumably about Wikipedia:Dark mode (now a togglable gadget) and maybe about software like Redshift? I set my screen to dim and redden (in steps, so I notice the passing of time) as it got later, ignoring the time of year. It made editing a calmer, more relaxing thing to do in the evenings (that could be placebo effect, or a better sense of time passing, but do I care?). Circadian rhythms in mental activity fortunately seem to have a more minor effect on sleep! [5]
I hope life isn't being too stressful for you at the moment, and you aren't having to deal with too many people who feel they are entitled to be obnoxious to you because they are older and not doing your job. I know someone whose first job was in a shop which had a notice behind the counter, visible only to staff; it colourfully condemned customers, then concluded with "...unfortunately, they are also [expletive] necessary". He said it helped; a sort of it's-not-me-it's-them sympathy against utterly unreasonable behaviour. HLHJ ( talk) 20:05, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Clovermoss,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Regarding this comment: although of course someone with skills related to bots might also have skills related to web page coding and MediaWiki, the two sets of skills are essentially independent. Interface administrators need to understand CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and how the MediaWiki software renders the user interface. Bot coders generally need to understand the MediaWiki API for accessing and modifying content, and whatever language of their choice to implement the bot. If they want to run the bot on the toolforge platform, then they'll need to know that environment as well. isaacl ( talk) 20:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Here is some feedback. I noticed you reviewed Ollywood TV. It had R from move, and you even formatted that with the Rcat shell. But is wasn't actually a move - the creator just copied that text. I always check the page history before reviewing redirects. In this case, since it wasn't an actual move, I checked further and saw that "Ollywood TV" wasn't even mentioned at the target, so sent it to RFD MB 16:12, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
If you do not mind me asking; why do you edit on Wiki? What are the inspirations and I guess sort of outcomes after doing so? Is it fufilling?
Thanks! -- Dedalien ( talk) 18:58, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Clovermoss! It seems NPP has been working out well for you—thank you for stepping forward! Also, I see above that you just turned 20. Happy belated birthday, and hope you have a great year. I also wanted to leave you a note about striking your comments. For whatever reason, HTML decided to deprecate the <strike> syntax. Because web browsers in the future might stop parsing <strike> properly, it is best to use the updated syntax so that pages continue to render properly. It would be great if you could use either <s>text</s> or <del>text</del> to strike comments to reduce WP:LINT errors. Thanks! House Blaster talk 19:39, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to the twenty-second newsletter from the Growth team!
As of the last week of June 2022, the newcomers of the world have completed over 500,000 newcomer tasks. In other words, newcomers have made over half a million Wikipedia edits via Growth’s “Suggested Edits” module.
We have added some new data to Grafana. You can now check the number of edits and reverts by task types, or the number of questions asked to mentors. You can filter the data by wiki.
If you have any questions, or there is more data you want access to, please let us know.
We are continuing our work on our new project, Positive Reinforcement. User testing of initial Positive Reinforcement designs was just completed. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, English, and Spanish. The outcome has been published on the Positive Reinforcement page. We are now utilizing user testing feedback along with prior community feedback to iterate and improve designs.
We are exploring the idea of a Copy Edit structured task. We have tested copy edits in Wikipedia articles for arwiki, bnwiki, cswiki, eswiki (Growth pilot-wikis) and enwiki with two different methods: LanguageTool and Hunspell. We will share more details here and on the associated Copy Edit page once the evaluation is complete.
Add an image was utilized at GLAM events in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile. For an overview of what was learned from these events, read: #1Pic1Article I: how Latin American heritage experts added images to Wikipedia (in English).
Add a Link Experiment Analysis has been published. The most important points are:
Newcomer task edit type analysis has been published.
A new system for the mentors list
The configuration of the mentors list will change over the next weeks. In the future, mentors will sign up, edit their mentor description and quit using Special:MentorDashboard. This new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.
At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected. With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description, while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed.
The deployment will happen first at the pilot wikis, then at all wikis. Existing lists of mentors will be automatically converted, no action will be needed from the mentors. [7] [8]
Mentors will be informed about the next steps soon, by a message posted on the talk page of existing Mentor lists.
Learn more about this new structured page on mediawiki.org.
A tip for mentors
Did you know that mentors can filter their mentees' changes at Special:MentorDashboard (and star the ones that require attention)? This feature helps to keep an eye on newcomers' edits, helping mentors to fix minor details, and encourage them if necessary.
And did you know that mentors have special filters to highlight their mentees' edits at Special:RecentChanges? Look for the following filters in RecentChanges: Your starred mentees, Your unstarred mentees.
Other improvements
Some improvements will be made to the mentor dashboard in the coming weeks:

GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
Alanna the Brave ( talk) 13:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC)Thanks for your question about article assessment at St. Catharines. I don't know much about assessment, and just about every article I've ever written has been a stub. One article I wrote, Kodak Black, has had 1,177,452 views in the past year, and is still rated as "start" and "low-importance", and I've only taken one article, Lake Ontario Ordnance Works, to "good article". My biggest concern with St. Catharines is that it needs to be re-ordered to correspond with WP:CCSG. This is an issue with many Canadian articles. I find that once an article has a solid and familiar outline, the editing improves. But I agree St. Catharines is a "C", as it has lots of unsourced sections that is just basically "stuff people know" which gets added to the article in good faith. Oh, and I had one Canadian article, Val Gagné, Ontario, featured on a "Did you know". Cheers! Magnolia677 ( talk) 17:45, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
Ontario is a magnificent place and I've been fortunate to do a few road trips there. Morningstar Mill is well done, as is Burgoyne Bridge (too bad about the suicides). A while back I wrote Multi-way bridge, which the world needs more of. I also forgot about St. Johns, Ontario in Thorold, which I expanded from a redirect, and which had a "did you know".
An article which torments me is Florida, Cochrane District. A few years back I recall reading a short history of Florida, something about how the rugged farmers gave it a go, but were hampered by the short growing season, and the cost of shipping produce to market. I've search all over for this source again, with no luck.
I'm sharing with you some of the Ontario (and one Quebec) articles I've written, because many of the sources were hard to find, and may help you with your research.
Also, this is an excellent resource.
Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 10:02, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Clovermoss.
I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor. |
Consider this a gentle nudge from someone you have never interacted with that you should throw your hat into the arena! We would love to have you!

Hi Clovermoss. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at
WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. – Joe ( talk) 14:16, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
My mother is referenced here: /info/en/?search=Cecile_Josp%C3%A9
But her name is Cecil, not Cecile. The page was originally created by the Women in Red project.
How can I change the headline name?
Thanks,
Edward EdJospe ( talk) 14:35, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Thank you. There is also a typo in the description of this link: Fenwick, Simon (May 27, 2004). "Ceil Jospé; Artist and photographer" The second "c" in her name is missing; the link is fine. Could you change that please as I am not sure how to edit these links.

We're both pretty similar, if a half-generation apart. We both do minor edits and even started editing around the same age (16-ish). So, here's a cookie for really very little reason. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 00:24, 23 July 2022 (UTC) |
Hey there Clovermoss, it's nice to meet you. I've been working on a draft for HB Antwerp, a diamond company based in Antwerp currently mentioned in the Sewelo article. I noticed that you are an AfC reviewer and an active member of WP:BELGIUM, so thought you might be interested in taking a look. Do you think it's ready to be included? Looking forward to your thoughts! Please note that I will be offline for a few days, so may be delayed in responding. Thanks again, Margxx ( talk) 11:49, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

In Project Surname you wrote "Polar Inuit specifically had different naming customs that involved gendered names." Do you know if that is Greenlandic Inuit of specifically Inughuit? Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 07:06, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
This is even more off-topic, so I'm starting a new one. You mentioned editing at night; I'm guessing you've probably heard about human responses to the timing of light exposure, and presumably about Wikipedia:Dark mode (now a togglable gadget) and maybe about software like Redshift? I set my screen to dim and redden (in steps, so I notice the passing of time) as it got later, ignoring the time of year. It made editing a calmer, more relaxing thing to do in the evenings (that could be placebo effect, or a better sense of time passing, but do I care?). Circadian rhythms in mental activity fortunately seem to have a more minor effect on sleep! [5]
I hope life isn't being too stressful for you at the moment, and you aren't having to deal with too many people who feel they are entitled to be obnoxious to you because they are older and not doing your job. I know someone whose first job was in a shop which had a notice behind the counter, visible only to staff; it colourfully condemned customers, then concluded with "...unfortunately, they are also [expletive] necessary". He said it helped; a sort of it's-not-me-it's-them sympathy against utterly unreasonable behaviour. HLHJ ( talk) 20:05, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello Clovermoss,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

Regarding this comment: although of course someone with skills related to bots might also have skills related to web page coding and MediaWiki, the two sets of skills are essentially independent. Interface administrators need to understand CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and how the MediaWiki software renders the user interface. Bot coders generally need to understand the MediaWiki API for accessing and modifying content, and whatever language of their choice to implement the bot. If they want to run the bot on the toolforge platform, then they'll need to know that environment as well. isaacl ( talk) 20:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Hye,
Let me know how I can find pages related to my job. -- FahadSEOLINKS ( talk) 19:51, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
Here is some feedback. I noticed you reviewed Ollywood TV. It had R from move, and you even formatted that with the Rcat shell. But is wasn't actually a move - the creator just copied that text. I always check the page history before reviewing redirects. In this case, since it wasn't an actual move, I checked further and saw that "Ollywood TV" wasn't even mentioned at the target, so sent it to RFD MB 16:12, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
If you do not mind me asking; why do you edit on Wiki? What are the inspirations and I guess sort of outcomes after doing so? Is it fufilling?
Thanks! -- Dedalien ( talk) 18:58, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi Clovermoss! It seems NPP has been working out well for you—thank you for stepping forward! Also, I see above that you just turned 20. Happy belated birthday, and hope you have a great year. I also wanted to leave you a note about striking your comments. For whatever reason, HTML decided to deprecate the <strike> syntax. Because web browsers in the future might stop parsing <strike> properly, it is best to use the updated syntax so that pages continue to render properly. It would be great if you could use either <s>text</s> or <del>text</del> to strike comments to reduce WP:LINT errors. Thanks! House Blaster talk 19:39, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to the twenty-second newsletter from the Growth team!
As of the last week of June 2022, the newcomers of the world have completed over 500,000 newcomer tasks. In other words, newcomers have made over half a million Wikipedia edits via Growth’s “Suggested Edits” module.
We have added some new data to Grafana. You can now check the number of edits and reverts by task types, or the number of questions asked to mentors. You can filter the data by wiki.
If you have any questions, or there is more data you want access to, please let us know.
We are continuing our work on our new project, Positive Reinforcement. User testing of initial Positive Reinforcement designs was just completed. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, English, and Spanish. The outcome has been published on the Positive Reinforcement page. We are now utilizing user testing feedback along with prior community feedback to iterate and improve designs.
We are exploring the idea of a Copy Edit structured task. We have tested copy edits in Wikipedia articles for arwiki, bnwiki, cswiki, eswiki (Growth pilot-wikis) and enwiki with two different methods: LanguageTool and Hunspell. We will share more details here and on the associated Copy Edit page once the evaluation is complete.
Add an image was utilized at GLAM events in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile. For an overview of what was learned from these events, read: #1Pic1Article I: how Latin American heritage experts added images to Wikipedia (in English).
Add a Link Experiment Analysis has been published. The most important points are:
Newcomer task edit type analysis has been published.
A new system for the mentors list
The configuration of the mentors list will change over the next weeks. In the future, mentors will sign up, edit their mentor description and quit using Special:MentorDashboard. This new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.
At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected. With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description, while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed.
The deployment will happen first at the pilot wikis, then at all wikis. Existing lists of mentors will be automatically converted, no action will be needed from the mentors. [7] [8]
Mentors will be informed about the next steps soon, by a message posted on the talk page of existing Mentor lists.
Learn more about this new structured page on mediawiki.org.
A tip for mentors
Did you know that mentors can filter their mentees' changes at Special:MentorDashboard (and star the ones that require attention)? This feature helps to keep an eye on newcomers' edits, helping mentors to fix minor details, and encourage them if necessary.
And did you know that mentors have special filters to highlight their mentees' edits at Special:RecentChanges? Look for the following filters in RecentChanges: Your starred mentees, Your unstarred mentees.
Other improvements
Some improvements will be made to the mentor dashboard in the coming weeks:

Hi Clovermoss. Have you ever considered being an admin?
