Hi there, I created a new page about the web framework I use. I am not even actually sure that I created it, in a sense that it's somewhere in a pipeline for somewhere to take a look at it. It's called "Vely Framework". I used facts as best as I know, and put some citations I found. If I somehow didn't create it right, please let me know.

Hi, I saw you closed the Category:Koryo-saram move discussion with consensus move. The category is still named "Koryo-saram" though; is there still something that needs to be done?
Thanks, toobigtokale ( talk) 21:42, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
A category or categories you have created have been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 26 § Category:Wikipedia XX-Class level-n vital articles on the categories for discussion page. Thank you. Qwerfjkl talk 14:47, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ -- Mohammed
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

Hello Qwerfjkl:
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.
Hello, I would like to upload a recent picture of the schoolhouse renovated -- Drain1419 ( talk) 00:28, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Can I ask you to please expand on your close for Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2023 October 21#Category:Queer organizations & Category:Queer literature? The rationale proposed for deletion is that that queer and LGBT are synonymous. Two of the four editors who responded refuted that central premise. A well-attended, thoroughly argued CFD from April 2023 that included these same categories found no consensus to delete, and specifically no consensus for the claim that queer and LGBT should be treated as simple synonyms. Given the small, numerically close response to the recent CFD, a more detailed close rationale is needed to explain how it demonstrates a change from the state of consensus determined in April.-- Trystan ( talk) 13:54, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
