There are libraries ... and there is the Parkie Library. The Parkie library currently open only 10:00-16:00 Monday and Thursday (make a change from being burnt out ... though that was circa 1990) Is has public use computers 1 to 7, 2 & 3 and 5 & 6 are currently social distancing computers and unusable. With my Hants library card I can book a limited time session, todays was an hour, which I think is the Covid-19 max. From those computers I have access to additional resources I can't access use. (Haven't tried Wikipedia library yet). Yes I was excited ... there was a ooh la la's coming from the backroom and my session was nearly over. I also notice Sammy was once scheduled to be on Children's hour TV in 1954 ... peope not wishing to be filmed were advised not to go! Don;t have a reference thought! Thankyou for whatever you fixed.

On 24 September 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Zofia Poznańska, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Zofia Poznańska, cipher clerk to the Red Orchestra espionage group, was captured in Belgium by the Abwehr in 1941 and hanged herself in prison in 1942? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Zofia Poznańska. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Zofia Poznańska), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

File:Christmas tree in field.jpg | Merry Christmas PamD |
Hi PamD, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas |
Hello PamD,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

10 | Utopes ( talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

I am not in any way related to Andrew Hill and do not know him even remotely except for reading his publicized works. I also do not have any conflict of interest through any type of organization or profit motive. I am a self employed engineer in the Telecommunications industry living in Brazil. My only conflict of interest is my interest in the unnecessary deaths of my fellow human beings due to the suppression of information and biased reporting on viable treatment options for the COVID pandemic. Unfortunately it appears that this interest is in conflict with Wikipedia reporting/moderation.
If anything I have attempted to publish is false or misleading in any way shape or form, please let me know (with references please). And do not slander me with false claims of conflict of interest implying that I have an ulterior motive or bias when the real biased reporting is from people like Alexbrn that is suppressing information to fit his narrative and promoting unsubstantiated reporting by non-medical media outlets on the Ivermectin page while suppressing actual medical research data and opinions from experts in the field.
Also, it is amazing the lengths to which an association is attempted to be found. My name is clearly given in my username as being Adriaan (quite a common name) and my last name initials is dh for De Haan.
If ever I write anything with regard to fraud prevention in the Telecommunication Industry I will be sure to declare any conflict of interest, but I will probably not bother unless it is a really boring inconsequential topic, since my confidence in the credibility of Wikipedia on anything else has been completely lost due to the outsized power of individuals with clear bias to control narrative on this supposedly Open platform.

Hi PamD. Apologies, I am not fully coherent with the formatting and coding principles on Wikipedia. Thanks for getting back to me. I am a student at the University of Sheffield, studying music psychology. My research is addressing a growing scholarship about the use and benefits of virtual choirs. There has been a move to differentiate between the common 'virtual choir' term (used to describe choirs participating in any context online) and those using the split-screen technology like Eric Whitacre's projects. My addition to the page is not intended as promotional but to draw attention to alternative nomenclature for this specific type of 'virtual choir'. Does this explanation justify my edit to be included? Many thanks. Paul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pwright1 ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

She was actually called Jennifer Yu per her Chinese name (probably her birth name) but her name was changed after she married (in 2009) and follows her husband‘s surname. Her Chinese name became [her husband's surname] (鄭;Cheng) + [her birth name] (余雅穎;Yu Nga-wing). Perhaps sometimes she is still called the older name. It is a Chinese tradition, just like the current Chief Executive of HK Carrie Lam. Yet there aren't many people following this tradition nowadays. Sun8908 Talk 04:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Pam,
I'm still in the process of learning how to edit and be a resourceful contributor on Wikipedia. I noticed today that you reviewed the Modern Day Missions article. Would you mind sharing with me some of your thoughts on how I could better improve the article to where it doesn't come across as promotional content?
Would this be a case where you would cut content or possibly rewrite it entirely (using the existing citations of course)?
Below is the link to the page for you convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi PamD I have only just checked on my talk page your edits...and your asking me about the edits on Talgarth station page...without sounding like a broken record the reason I copied the railway details was because the editor from 2019 had redirected an old railway page to Talgarth itself thus confusing the Mid-Wales Railway articles station diagram. It would not show the next stations and instead took you the reader to the page of Talgarth a claim was it is not detailed enough for its own article. So I did remove the redirect and do admit I should not have copied over the text without a reason or knowledge explanation. I found that though with Fochriw. I did copy the text to the railway page because it covered the station and line.
It did not seem to be feasible keeping it clogging up the villages transport section. I get it is old and archived and should not be moved. I do not intentionally do this and try to avoid it at all costs. I just want to make sure it does not duplicate something on another article and create a duplicate conflict. In regards to your thing about Wiki might not be the best hobby for me. I have to completely disagree with you there. A lot of editors and admin have always thanked me and welcomed my contributions, discussions and creations. So I would say Wiki is a great place for me to contribute to geographical, railway and borough related works. I thank you for your indepth suggestion on my other four articles and will eventually work on them. I want to focus though for now on working on some Wales articles for villages, hamlets, areas or stations that might not exist just yet on wiki but are credible and reliable to be given an article. But I will stop copying over old text on articles already in them. I agree my edits might look disruptive but if I did get a temporary ban it would likely only be if I stepped out of line on something or was seen as trolling which so far I have not been and many have not said I have either. Cheers anyway and will take your suggestions and advice on board. Regards RailwayJG ( talk) 19:52, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

Hi Pam. As I write, we have two more days if we want the above to be nominated (with you as main editor) for DYK. If you are in agreement but you would like to do more work on it, I could nominate it in the next 2 days to bagsy the time-slot, and I could explain on the template that it is not quite finished. In my experience, that is usually acceptable, and reviewers are usually willing to give us time to finish. Would you like me to do that? I can include a placeholder hook which you could replace with a ALT1 later. Storye book ( talk) 17:38, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

I found another like Scotforth/ Scotforth (parish) where the parish didn't include its namesake settlement namely St Gluvias which the settlement is in Penryn parish however in April the parish was renamed Ponsanooth so that article now deals with the parish and the former with the suburb. If we'd known about this an article about the CP at St Gluvias (parish) would have been appropriate but then we would have merged it with Ponsanooth when it was renamed. Interestingly Paul parish also in Cornwall didn't include the village was abolished and merged with St Buryan to form St Buryan, Lamorna and Paul but yet for some odd reason they decided to keep "Paul" in the name rather than just calling it St Buryan and Lamorna, maybe they wished to keep the fact that's what the new parish was formed from in the name?

It's a sunny day and I've spent far too much time on-wiki, trying to help someone and then realising they'll bite my head off because we've been round the same loop 3 years ago, wondering why WikiData has killed off someone who appears to be still alive, watching some inept editing by some irritating editors (and lots of admirable editing by lots of lovely editors), getting stressed about it all ... time to take a break. Perhaps I'll try and stay away until the 1st of the month and the next WiR editathons. Probably I won't last out that long. Please don't break the encyclopedia (or wreck my favourite articles) while I'm away. The garden needs some attention. Happy Editing to all and sundry. Pam D 14:05, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi PamD, hope that you're well and enjoyed your wikibreak. I was wondering if you'd be able to participate in a Signpost interview in your capacity as a member of WikiProject Redirect? I am enthusiastic about these interviews because they help remind other Wikipedians about the passionate and diverse group of volunteers that edit Wikipedia, and into the many discussions and editors that inhabit our space, nooks and crannies. If you had time to even answer a few questions here ( User:Tom (LT)/sandbox/WikiProject redirects interview draft) I'd be very grateful :). Tom (LT) ( talk) 08:16, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

I can't apologise enough for having to reach out again. The AfD could not have come at a worse time for me. I have at long last made it through to the second and final stage of two important shortlists, one of which is in front of a committee right now. It represents a lifetime's worth of work and the support of influential colleagues who I may not be able to call on again. My Wikipedia entry is now filled with 'unreliable source?' and 'failed verification'. While it might not influence a committee at best it doesn't help and at worst, well...
I have been working through my clippings and references today to produce a page of edits that I hope are coherent and in the correct format [ [6]].
Do you think I can safely - at the very least - input the correct URLs to remove the 'unreliable source?' and 'failed verification' notices? I do not want to set a foot wrong here. With yet again a thousand apologies, would be most grateful for your advice. Thank you, — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreenForestRanger ( talk • contribs) 13:12, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello PamD,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Hello PamD:
I am writing this message to ask for your help. I am a user who mainly edits existing articles on Wikipedia in English with the intention of improving them. But now I have a problem: I am interested in creating an article on Wikipedia in English with the biography of a German sociologist and sexologist named Monika Krause-Fuchs. Actually, I created that article, but after a few hours of creating it, another user converted it into a Draft, explaining that it was of poor quality.
Actually I created that article as a translation of an original German Wikipedia article called "Monika Krause-Fuchs" (the same name I gave to the equivalent article that I created in English Wikipedia).
Since that happened I have been improving the content of the Draft and adding references to it, but the problem now is that I do not know how to request that it be converted back into an article. I have been editing Wikipedia for some time now, but this is the first article that I have created, and I did not expect all this complication to arise.
That is why I ask you, please, for your help. I would like to ask you to review the Draft "Monika Krause-Fuchs" that I have created and values if it is ready to be converted into an article and (if possible) if you could request its conversion into an article.
Here is the URL of the Draft that I created:

I have started a list of (current) parishes at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. I'd note that back in January 2020 you pointed out around 93% have articles but it appears today (partly because I have identified some actually exist under a different name) that almost 96% exist, see User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes#Progress. I have also removed the buildings with parishes of the same name but the main page still links to User:Crouch, Swale/Civil parishes/Splits and suggests looking at them. As a side note what do you make of those listed at the bottom of User:Crouch, Swale/Civil parishes/Splits namely the likes of Goosnargh? where large parts of the settlement fall outside of the parish? My recommendation is to recommend not to split partly due to the fact that unlike the cases like Scotforth where the settlement was artificially removed from the parish it seems like (at least with Goosnargh and Catterall, I can't tell with Allington) the historical centre was and still is in the parish and it opens the door for many towns such as Rugeley to be split. I think the similar (last) point at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK subdivisions/English districts#Principals that the boundaries may be historical. I have also started Orton, Carlisle.

Hello again! I want to apologize again for any watchlist interference that the tagging caused on my end. What I learn from this is that as long as the redirect is classified, whether or not it has a shell, is all that is needed from a human editor standpoint. Shell vs. no shell is irrelevant in that regard is what I gather. I know that if a tag is missing, it is an acceptable edit because that puts it in a category.

Hi PamD, sorry for the late reply to this statement of yours. I don't understand your argumentation as Category:Taekwondo_practitioners_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics obviously is a sub-category of Category:Competitors at the 2020 Summer Olympics. This implies that Naomie Katoka has indeed competed in Tokyo which is wrong. Therefore I would be very much in favor of removing the misleading category information from the article itself.

Thankyou for expanding Haltcliff Bridge but is it really a good idea to put the 2011 census for "Mungrisdale" parish in the hamlet article? If they want that information then they'll surely click on the parish article. I think its OK to include parish population if there's no data for the village and the parish includes a settlement and little other population centres or the parish was recently renamed though but not for hamlets in a larger parish.

I've added a 2nd progress bar at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes#Progress for the total number of parishes rather than just those that were missing when the project was launched in October last year. We're now down to 397. I will try {{ ping project}} for the wikiprojects with missing parishes which should hopefully get a few more. Crouch, Swale ( talk)
Well call me a philistine but each of the three articles I have helped get to GA uses {{ sfn}} for multiple citations of the same book and ref|cite|/ref for single instance citations. [See, for example, Calendar (New Style) Act 1750#References ]. This was primarily because it made a difficult task manageable, some of the citations are quite messy. But also I consider it unfriendly to readers (especially on mobile) to have to step through an intermediate phase to get to a cited web page. I really can't see what is so terrible about mixing techniques according to the context but that apparently is a hanging offence.
I gather that there was trench warfare over citation styles before my time so this is at your talk page rather than breaking a lance at the article talk page.

Hi PamD, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas |
Hello PamD,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

I am not in any way related to Andrew Hill and do not know him even remotely except for reading his publicized works. I also do not have any conflict of interest through any type of organization or profit motive. I am a self employed engineer in the Telecommunications industry living in Brazil. My only conflict of interest is my interest in the unnecessary deaths of my fellow human beings due to the suppression of information and biased reporting on viable treatment options for the COVID pandemic. Unfortunately it appears that this interest is in conflict with Wikipedia reporting/moderation.
If anything I have attempted to publish is false or misleading in any way shape or form, please let me know (with references please). And do not slander me with false claims of conflict of interest implying that I have an ulterior motive or bias when the real biased reporting is from people like Alexbrn that is suppressing information to fit his narrative and promoting unsubstantiated reporting by non-medical media outlets on the Ivermectin page while suppressing actual medical research data and opinions from experts in the field.
Also, it is amazing the lengths to which an association is attempted to be found. My name is clearly given in my username as being Adriaan (quite a common name) and my last name initials is dh for De Haan.
If ever I write anything with regard to fraud prevention in the Telecommunication Industry I will be sure to declare any conflict of interest, but I will probably not bother unless it is a really boring inconsequential topic, since my confidence in the credibility of Wikipedia on anything else has been completely lost due to the outsized power of individuals with clear bias to control narrative on this supposedly Open platform.

Hi PamD. Apologies, I am not fully coherent with the formatting and coding principles on Wikipedia. Thanks for getting back to me. I am a student at the University of Sheffield, studying music psychology. My research is addressing a growing scholarship about the use and benefits of virtual choirs. There has been a move to differentiate between the common 'virtual choir' term (used to describe choirs participating in any context online) and those using the split-screen technology like Eric Whitacre's projects. My addition to the page is not intended as promotional but to draw attention to alternative nomenclature for this specific type of 'virtual choir'. Does this explanation justify my edit to be included? Many thanks. Paul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pwright1 ( talk • contribs) 08:42, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

She was actually called Jennifer Yu per her Chinese name (probably her birth name) but her name was changed after she married (in 2009) and follows her husband‘s surname. Her Chinese name became [her husband's surname] (鄭;Cheng) + [her birth name] (余雅穎;Yu Nga-wing). Perhaps sometimes she is still called the older name. It is a Chinese tradition, just like the current Chief Executive of HK Carrie Lam. Yet there aren't many people following this tradition nowadays. Sun8908 Talk 04:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Your comment was titled "Proposed merge of Ravenseat Farm into Amanda Oweb" in case that means anything to you. Maybe you posted your remark on the wrong talk page? Liz Read!

Hi PamD I have only just checked on my talk page your edits...and your asking me about the edits on Talgarth station page...without sounding like a broken record the reason I copied the railway details was because the editor from 2019 had redirected an old railway page to Talgarth itself thus confusing the Mid-Wales Railway articles station diagram. It would not show the next stations and instead took you the reader to the page of Talgarth a claim was it is not detailed enough for its own article. So I did remove the redirect and do admit I should not have copied over the text without a reason or knowledge explanation. I found that though with Fochriw. I did copy the text to the railway page because it covered the station and line.
It did not seem to be feasible keeping it clogging up the villages transport section. I get it is old and archived and should not be moved. I do not intentionally do this and try to avoid it at all costs. I just want to make sure it does not duplicate something on another article and create a duplicate conflict. In regards to your thing about Wiki might not be the best hobby for me. I have to completely disagree with you there. A lot of editors and admin have always thanked me and welcomed my contributions, discussions and creations. So I would say Wiki is a great place for me to contribute to geographical, railway and borough related works. I thank you for your indepth suggestion on my other four articles and will eventually work on them. I want to focus though for now on working on some Wales articles for villages, hamlets, areas or stations that might not exist just yet on wiki but are credible and reliable to be given an article. But I will stop copying over old text on articles already in them. I agree my edits might look disruptive but if I did get a temporary ban it would likely only be if I stepped out of line on something or was seen as trolling which so far I have not been and many have not said I have either. Cheers anyway and will take your suggestions and advice on board. Regards RailwayJG ( talk) 19:52, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

Earlier this year, the Editing team ran a large study of the Reply Tool. The main goal was to find out whether the Reply Tool helped newer editors communicate on wiki. The second goal was to see whether the comments that newer editors made using the tool needed to be reverted more frequently than comments newer editors made with the existing wikitext page editor.
The key results were:
These results give the Editing team confidence that the tool is helpful.
Looking ahead
The team is planning to make the Reply tool available to everyone as an opt-out preference in the coming months. This has already happened at the Arabic, Czech, and Hungarian Wikipedias.
The next step is to resolve a technical challenge. Then, they will deploy the Reply tool first to the Wikipedias that participated in the study. After that, they will deploy it, in stages, to the other Wikipedias and all WMF-hosted wikis.
You can turn on "Discussion Tools" in Beta Features now. After you get the Reply tool, you can change your preferences at any time in Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion.

I found another like Scotforth/ Scotforth (parish) where the parish didn't include its namesake settlement namely St Gluvias which the settlement is in Penryn parish however in April the parish was renamed Ponsanooth so that article now deals with the parish and the former with the suburb. If we'd known about this an article about the CP at St Gluvias (parish) would have been appropriate but then we would have merged it with Ponsanooth when it was renamed. Interestingly Paul parish also in Cornwall didn't include the village was abolished and merged with St Buryan to form St Buryan, Lamorna and Paul but yet for some odd reason they decided to keep "Paul" in the name rather than just calling it St Buryan and Lamorna, maybe they wished to keep the fact that's what the new parish was formed from in the name?

I can't apologise enough for having to reach out again. The AfD could not have come at a worse time for me. I have at long last made it through to the second and final stage of two important shortlists, one of which is in front of a committee right now. It represents a lifetime's worth of work and the support of influential colleagues who I may not be able to call on again. My Wikipedia entry is now filled with 'unreliable source?' and 'failed verification'. While it might not influence a committee at best it doesn't help and at worst, well...
I have been working through my clippings and references today to produce a page of edits that I hope are coherent and in the correct format [ [6]].

Hello PamD,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.

Hello PamD:
I am writing this message to ask for your help. I am a user who mainly edits existing articles on Wikipedia in English with the intention of improving them. But now I have a problem: I am interested in creating an article on Wikipedia in English with the biography of a German sociologist and sexologist named Monika Krause-Fuchs. Actually, I created that article, but after a few hours of creating it, another user converted it into a Draft, explaining that it was of poor quality.
Actually I created that article as a translation of an original German Wikipedia article called "Monika Krause-Fuchs" (the same name I gave to the equivalent article that I created in English Wikipedia).
Since that happened I have been improving the content of the Draft and adding references to it, but the problem now is that I do not know how to request that it be converted back into an article. I have been editing Wikipedia for some time now, but this is the first article that I have created, and I did not expect all this complication to arise.
That is why I ask you, please, for your help. I would like to ask you to review the Draft "Monika Krause-Fuchs" that I have created and values if it is ready to be converted into an article and (if possible) if you could request its conversion into an article.
Here is the URL of the Draft that I created:

I have started a list of (current) parishes at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. I'd note that back in January 2020 you pointed out around 93% have articles but it appears today (partly because I have identified some actually exist under a different name) that almost 96% exist, see User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes#Progress. I have also removed the buildings with parishes of the same name but the main page still links to User:Crouch, Swale/Civil parishes/Splits and suggests looking at them. As a side note what do you make of those listed at the bottom of User:Crouch, Swale/Civil parishes/Splits namely the likes of Goosnargh? where large parts of the settlement fall outside of the parish? My recommendation is to recommend not to split partly due to the fact that unlike the cases like Scotforth where the settlement was artificially removed from the parish it seems like (at least with Goosnargh and Catterall, I can't tell with Allington) the historical centre was and still is in the parish and it opens the door for many towns such as Rugeley to be split. I think the similar (last) point at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK subdivisions/English districts#Principals that the boundaries may be historical. I have also started Orton, Carlisle.

Hello again! I want to apologize again for any watchlist interference that the tagging caused on my end. What I learn from this is that as long as the redirect is classified, whether or not it has a shell, is all that is needed from a human editor standpoint. Shell vs. no shell is irrelevant in that regard is what I gather. I know that if a tag is missing, it is an acceptable edit because that puts it in a category.
If I can assist with any cleanup, just let me know. Thanks for being such a vital member of the editing community. Best wishes. Red Director ( talk) 19:31, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi PamD, sorry for the late reply to this statement of yours. I don't understand your argumentation as Category:Taekwondo_practitioners_at_the_2020_Summer_Olympics obviously is a sub-category of Category:Competitors at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Thankyou for expanding Haltcliff Bridge but is it really a good idea to put the 2011 census for "Mungrisdale" parish in the hamlet article? If they want that information then they'll surely click on the parish article.

Well call me a philistine but each of the three articles I have helped get to GA uses {{ sfn}} for multiple citations of the same book and ref|cite|/ref for single instance citations. [See, for example, Calendar (New Style) Act 1750#References ]. This was primarily because it made a difficult task manageable, some of the citations are quite messy. But also I consider it unfriendly to readers (especially on mobile) to have to step through an intermediate phase to get to a cited web page. I really can't see what is so terrible about mixing techniques according to the context but that apparently is a hanging offence.

Hi, Pam. I hate to edit my comment after someone has already replied, but I felt the need to do so here. I don't think it changes anything you wrote, but let me know if you would prefer I add an indication that my comment was amended after your reply. Graham ( talk) 07:24, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

The problem with Justine Roberts is that the subject has challenged this, saying that they are separated, but as per normal they're being made to jump through hoops to prove it, while also being told that it is trivial information. It seemed like the best solution was just to leave it out until this can be settled. - Bilby ( talk) 05:47, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
