Hi Elli, Thank you for offering to mentor me! I am so thankful to be a part of this! The Interpol terror watchlist caught my eye when I saw 👀 the last edit date. How do I cross-reference Federal law enforcement's list with the latest Wikipedia list? I have some research completed but rather ask my mentor before I venture out into uncharted waters without over watch. -- Dark Angel Home ( talk) 01:40, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Elli,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

The article Thomas Lord Kimball you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Thomas Lord Kimball for comments about the article, and Talk:Thomas Lord Kimball/GA1 for the nomination. Well done!

I have taken the task of editing the "Birth dearth" wikipedia article and now I see that it is essentially talking about the book by the same name, which is not on wikipedia. I think it would be best to simply replace the article about the phrase with the book itself. I dont know if its possible to rewrite the tittle or does a new article have to be created and the old one deleted. -- DukeofCarniola ( talk) 11:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Thunderhead (Shusterman novel) cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 02:58, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello Elli:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
Hi there! I currently am not looking to become a new editor on Wikipedia, but I am trying to do a bit of research on the website. I am currently writing a paper in which I need to analyze a discourse community. If you are not too busy, I would like to ask a few questions:
1. Have you ever used the "talk" page to communicate with other editors? If so, how effective was the use of this "talk" page in relation to the "final" vision of your goal for a certain article?
2. Have you ever come across any "nefarious" activities (ie. false information being edited into pages, or maybe a disrespectful comment on a talk page) on Wikipedia? If so, how did you go about dealing with this situation, if at all?
3. It is commonly known for many students that Wikipedia is not a very "reliable source" due to the fact that it is a user-generated source, that is anyone at anytime is able to edit any article (with limitations on certain articles, of course). Thus, many are warned away from using Wikipedia as a source of research at all. What are your personal thoughts on how Wikipedia should be used as a source?
4. Lastly, I would like to hear an "insiders" opinion on authority within the group of anonymous editors using Wikipedia. It has come to my attention that, although there are over 40 million users currently registered to this platform, a 10-year study conducted by Purdue Owl suggests that most of Wikipedia's content (roughly 80%) are written by a certain 1% of its contributors. This suggests that there might be some sort of hierarchy amongst editors, where those who contribute the most may also benefit from the achievement of "shaping what the world knows". What are your personal thoughts on this particular set of information? --

Dear Elli, I only contribute to Wikipedia very rarely, so I don't have the required 500 edits to make a change to the following page: /info/en/?search=Israeli_occupation_of_the_West_Bank. There, one can find the statement "In 1956, the Israeli leader David Ben-Gurion stated that: "Jordan has no right to exist. The territory to the West of the Jordan should be made an autonomous region of Israel".", which is supposedly based on · Slater, Jerome (1994). "The Significance of Israeli Historical Revisionism". In Stone, Russell; Zenner, Walter P. (eds.). Essays on Israeli Social Issues and Scholarship. Vol. 3. SUNY Press. pp. 179–199. ISBN 978-1-438-42140-7. However, this essay can be found here ( https://www.jstor.org/stable/41804673), accessed for free and contains no such quote. Could you please hand this on to somebody who is allowed to and able to correct the article? Skeptischer Beobachter ( talk) 22:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
I changed the header because, to me, it is too long and the lone sentence about him being married at the end seems out of place. Can I shorten the header to personal life and make "Outing and death" bold instead? 166.194.204.57 ( talk) 22:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
The article Bubba Copeland has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Clearly fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NPOLITICIAN
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hey Elli. Forgot to write an edit summary. I've observed something about the Diclose.tv Wikipedia articles and edits that I'd like to discuss with you. In some cases, I've noticed that the content appears to have a somewhat strong ideological or loaded tone, which can potentially influence the reader's opinion, whether intentionally or unintentionally. I appreciate Wikipedia's commitment to maintaining a neutral and unbiased point of view, and my intention is to contribute to that goal. Thank you for considering my viewpoint and edits, and I'm looking forward to helping maintain Wikipedia's dedication to presenting balanced and unbiased content. Labeling as "far-right": The use of the term "far-right" to describe Disclose.tv carries a strong ideological implication. While it's essential to characterize sources accurately, labels like "far-right" can be highly subjective and may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the platform. "Fake news website": Referring to Disclose.tv as a "fake news website" is a loaded term, implying that the platform's content is intentionally deceitful or false. It's essential to provide specific examples or evidence when making such claims. "Publishing disinformation and conspiracy theories": While it's important to address the publication of disinformation and conspiracy theories, using these terms without specific examples may appear as a blanket statement that doesn't offer a nuanced assessment. "COVID-19 misinformation" and "anti-vaccine narratives": Similar to the previous point, stating that Disclose.tv is known for "COVID-19 misinformation" and "anti-vaccine narratives" can be highly subjective and may not provide a comprehensive, a nuanced assessment or understanding of the platform. 207.96.33.47 ( talk) 15:36, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Would it be considered fair and impartial to source Fox News to make the claim that CNN is a far-left propaganda network that spreads false narratives, including COVID-19 disinformation?no, both because Fox News hasn't, as far as I can tell, actually said that, and because Fox News's coverage of politics is considered unreliable.

Hi Elli, I see that you have taken down the added comment "In Australia, there has been an adhoc golf tournament for the past 17 years started in 2006 by F. Barrie and J. Moyle in honour of Maurice. It is reported that the trophy is in rather poor condition but none the less engraved with the annual winner."
This is true, we have great respect for Maurice and have named our tournament after him. This will be our 17th year just finished last week.
We would be greatly honoured to be a part of this legend! Please let me know how to verify the above info.

Hi Eli. Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask a quick question. I'm very keen to become busier on Wikipedia as a contributor. I have contributed a few edits to pages recently, created one for a movie (a learning curve to see how that works!) and I posted an article for review yesterday - a page on the musician Tom Fleming from Wild Beasts who is now a solo artist. This was rejected on the grounds that "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics)." Essentially my question is: what qualifies as a better source than the ones I used which were credible music magazines and the artist in questions record label? Just to be very clear: I have zero association or connection with this artist and his label. It's just an area of music I know quite well and thought such an artist did warrant a page. Any info would be gratefully received so I can understand the processes going forward a little better. -- LMGK ( talk) 12:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Elli! It's me again. Sorry to bother you with more questions, but I am now currently writing yet another paper on Wikipedia (this time trying to do an analysis on genre). I'll try to keep these questions brief:
1. I am aware that all writers must publish adhering to Wikipedia's NPOV policy. In your own experience, has this ever been challenging to you? If it has, how have you overcome these challenges?
2. Since Wikipedia is largely collaborative, have you ever disputed with another editor on how controversial subjects should be presented in a published article? If so, how did you resolve this conflict?
Again, sorry to bother you! If you don't have the time to answer, you may continue and ignore my questions. Thank you in advance. -- AllInTheNameOfResearch ( talk) 22:02, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

I was going to DM you about this on discord, but I've been banned. I've got evidence there's some off site campaigning going on, and I'd like to find a way to mitigate the situation as much as possible. Figure since you've participated and I remember you being fairly active you'd be best at communicating with admins about that off-wiki to make sure there's a streamlined way to deal with it.

I have taken the task of editing the "Birth dearth" wikipedia article and now I see that it is essentially talking about the book by the same name, which is not on wikipedia. I think it would be best to simply replace the article about the phrase with the book itself. I dont know if its possible to rewrite the tittle or does a new article have to be created and the old one deleted. -- DukeofCarniola ( talk) 11:07, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Hello Elli, as you may have figured out I am partially blocked and would like to you to be the one who reviews my edit requests, I like how you actually gave the time to really look into what needed to be edited ( exhibit A) ( exhibit B) instead if saying "this is incomplete" and leaving it just sitting there.

Thanks for uploading File:Thunderhead (Shusterman novel) cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 02:58, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello Elli:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
Hi there! I currently am not looking to become a new editor on Wikipedia, but I am trying to do a bit of research on the website. I am currently writing a paper in which I need to analyze a discourse community. If you are not too busy, I would like to ask a few questions:
1. Have you ever used the "talk" page to communicate with other editors? If so, how effective was the use of this "talk" page in relation to the "final" vision of your goal for a certain article?
2. Have you ever come across any "nefarious" activities (ie. false information being edited into pages, or maybe a disrespectful comment on a talk page) on Wikipedia? If so, how did you go about dealing with this situation, if at all?
3. It is commonly known for many students that Wikipedia is not a very "reliable source" due to the fact that it is a user-generated source, that is anyone at anytime is able to edit any article (with limitations on certain articles, of course). Thus, many are warned away from using Wikipedia as a source of research at all. What are your personal thoughts on how Wikipedia should be used as a source?
4. Lastly, I would like to hear an "insiders" opinion on authority within the group of anonymous editors using Wikipedia. It has come to my attention that, although there are over 40 million users currently registered to this platform, a 10-year study conducted by Purdue Owl suggests that most of Wikipedia's content (roughly 80%) are written by a certain 1% of its contributors. This suggests that there might be some sort of hierarchy amongst editors, where those who contribute the most may also benefit from the achievement of "shaping what the world knows". What are your personal thoughts on this particular set of information? --

Dear Elli, I only contribute to Wikipedia very rarely, so I don't have the required 500 edits to make a change to the following page: /info/en/?search=Israeli_occupation_of_the_West_Bank. There, one can find the statement "In 1956, the Israeli leader David Ben-Gurion stated that: "Jordan has no right to exist. The territory to the West of the Jordan should be made an autonomous region of Israel".", which is supposedly based on · Slater, Jerome (1994). "The Significance of Israeli Historical Revisionism". In Stone, Russell; Zenner, Walter P. (eds.). Essays on Israeli Social Issues and Scholarship. Vol. 3. SUNY Press. pp. 179–199. ISBN 978-1-438-42140-7. However, this essay can be found here ( https://www.jstor.org/stable/41804673), accessed for free and contains no such quote. Could you please hand this on to somebody who is allowed to and able to correct the article? Skeptischer Beobachter ( talk) 22:31, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

The article Bubba Copeland has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Clearly fails WP:NOTNEWS and WP:NPOLITICIAN
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

Hey Elli. Forgot to write an edit summary. I've observed something about the Diclose.tv Wikipedia articles and edits that I'd like to discuss with you. In some cases, I've noticed that the content appears to have a somewhat strong ideological or loaded tone, which can potentially influence the reader's opinion, whether intentionally or unintentionally. I appreciate Wikipedia's commitment to maintaining a neutral and unbiased point of view, and my intention is to contribute to that goal. Thank you for considering my viewpoint and edits, and I'm looking forward to helping maintain Wikipedia's dedication to presenting balanced and unbiased content. Labeling as "far-right": The use of the term "far-right" to describe Disclose.tv carries a strong ideological implication. While it's essential to characterize sources accurately, labels like "far-right" can be highly subjective and may not provide a comprehensive understanding of the platform. "Fake news website": Referring to Disclose.tv as a "fake news website" is a loaded term, implying that the platform's content is intentionally deceitful or false. It's essential to provide specific examples or evidence when making such claims. "Publishing disinformation and conspiracy theories": While it's important to address the publication of disinformation and conspiracy theories, using these terms without specific examples may appear as a blanket statement that doesn't offer a nuanced assessment. "COVID-19 misinformation" and "anti-vaccine narratives": Similar to the previous point, stating that Disclose.tv is known for "COVID-19 misinformation" and "anti-vaccine narratives" can be highly subjective and may not provide a comprehensive, a nuanced assessment or understanding of the platform. 207.96.33.47 ( talk) 15:36, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Would it be considered fair and impartial to source Fox News to make the claim that CNN is a far-left propaganda network that spreads false narratives, including COVID-19 disinformation?no, both because Fox News hasn't, as far as I can tell, actually said that, and because Fox News's coverage of politics is considered unreliable.

Hi Elli, I see that you have taken down the added comment "In Australia, there has been an adhoc golf tournament for the past 17 years started in 2006 by F. Barrie and J. Moyle in honour of Maurice. It is reported that the trophy is in rather poor condition but none the less engraved with the annual winner."
This is true, we have great respect for Maurice and have named our tournament after him. This will be our 17th year just finished last week.
We would be greatly honoured to be a part of this legend! Please let me know how to verify the above info.

Hello -- BrighterO ( talk) 00:40, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi Eli. Sorry to bother you. I just wanted to ask a quick question. I'm very keen to become busier on Wikipedia as a contributor. I have contributed a few edits to pages recently, created one for a movie (a learning curve to see how that works!) and I posted an article for review yesterday - a page on the musician Tom Fleming from Wild Beasts who is now a solo artist. This was rejected on the grounds that "This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics)." Essentially my question is: what qualifies as a better source than the ones I used which were credible music magazines and the artist in questions record label? Just to be very clear: I have zero association or connection with this artist and his label. It's just an area of music I know quite well and thought such an artist did warrant a page. Any info would be gratefully received so I can understand the processes going forward a little better. -- LMGK ( talk) 12:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi Elli! It's me again. Sorry to bother you with more questions, but I am now currently writing yet another paper on Wikipedia (this time trying to do an analysis on genre). I'll try to keep these questions brief:
1. I am aware that all writers must publish adhering to Wikipedia's NPOV policy. In your own experience, has this ever been challenging to you? If it has, how have you overcome these challenges?
2. Since Wikipedia is largely collaborative, have you ever disputed with another editor on how controversial subjects should be presented in a published article? If so, how did you resolve this conflict?
Again, sorry to bother you! If you don't have the time to answer, you may continue and ignore my questions. Thank you in advance. -- AllInTheNameOfResearch ( talk) 22:02, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
