Hi, thanks for reviewing Carolyn Shelby. I'm not exactly too sure what it means though? Also, could you please maybe review Verdis too? MicroSupporter ( talk) 20:00, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Hi Reading Beans,
where can I find the draft for the article that you have moved to the draft space? I can't edit it anymore. Thanks you! Leda74
Hello Reading Beans/Archives/2022,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Hiya. Sorry, I added a tag to the page and the tool automatically unreviewed it!!! :( Best Alexandermcnabb ( talk) 07:38, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello sir, thanks for the copy edits on the article i created, you did a clean job I must say wow I’m so impressed Madeforall1 ( talk) 02:54, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello reading, I strongly suspect that the article Bizzle Osikoya, Plug Sports and Asa Asika are paid jobs. It’s fishy that the editor has a close connection with them. Those two people are the founder of The Plug which is a PR company so they will want to do anything to make sure they are well branded. How I wish Celestina was still active the editor who created those pages would have been going a tough time with her which was happening and I saw at the editor talk page. I feel the editor has an undisclosed payments within the Nigerian entertainment industry but if you wanna let that slide I’m cool. Gabriel (talk to me ) 21:53, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for your review on Qdot /info/en/?search=Draft:Qdot. I will work on it from the draft but the article has been recreated with unreliable sources( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qdot.) Should I stop working on the one you drafted? Ibjaja055 ( talk) 12:57, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
