Someone has archived an edit I made as I didn’t have a reference. I now have a reference. How can I find, edit and resubmit my edit -- Jamesthepilot ( talk) 10:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for this. I had full reverted and revdel tagged in similar edits before. But today, since some (especially from the history part) looked salvageable, I thought of tagging it, hoping someone might reword it . - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 18:59, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello ARandomName123!

Thanks for setting up this tool for WP:FEB24. Could you add a way for if no results displays it says something like, "there are no results for User [x] because they have no articles to review or all have already been reviewed"? I was a bit confused initially thinking that some users weren't working, but I think it just doesn't display anything if a user's entries have all been reviewed. -- Engineerchange ( talk) 20:50, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

This award is given in recognition to ARandomName123 for collecting more than 100 points during the WikiProject Unreferenced articles's FEB24 backlog drive. Your contributions played a crucial role in sourcing 14,300 unsourced articles during the drive. Thank you so much for participating and helping to reduce the backlog! – – DreamRimmer ( talk) 18:45, 8 March 2024 (UTC) |
You helped me by replacing content on the article for Joseph Phua and removed the warning from the top. The original editor added the warning back and said, "once someone has confirmed that they feel the content is NPOV the tag can be removed." I assumed this was part of the process when the request was made. I am making the request for the review as I understand it may be a different process. I am wondering if you are able to assist.

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hi ARandomName123, you'd helped with a few of my requests on the Jeffrey Katzenberg article. I've made another one, any chance you'd be willing to review it? Cheers, BINK Robin ( talk) 15:42, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi again, ARandomName123. If you’re available to review, I have another request on the Jeffrey Katzenberg article Talk page. Thanks! BINK Robin ( talk) 15:23, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

As Israeli, I find it absurde that the English page about this person is defined by you as " not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.". Dror is one of the key leaders in Israel, Personaly I'm part of a comunitry of close to 100,000 people that follow him daily on his whatsapp groups. (check is social media) - he is being quated and interviewed almost every day etc etc. https://x.com/faniaoz/status/1771595428573712817?s=20
I edited parts that were wrong, and this page need to be restored ASAP as it makes Wikipedia looks like a political tool which tries to hide the people that are working to change the Israeli goverment.
Thank you, Gili2011 ( talk) 07:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi! The first article I submitted was declined. I thought my references met the four criteria, but the editor thought otherwise. How can I improve my references (I sourced every statement and used third party sources and sites to reference the facts)? I find it challenging to provide information on small companies that may not get coverage in national publications. Any suggestions?? -- TheRealLee5555 ( talk) 17:06, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, would you be able to these articles? They include ' Shastry Viruddh Shastry,' ' UT69,' and ' Fairy Folk.' I've noticed they haven't been reviewed by other users yet, and since you've kindly reviewed two of my previous articles, I thought I'd reach out to you for your insights. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Grabup ( talk) 16:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello ARandomName123,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:

The Growth team will now send quarterly reports to keep you in the loop. Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work.
If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
Growth features are currently configurable at Special:EditGrowthConfig
. This quarter we are working on making
Community Configuration accessible for other MediaWiki developers while also moving Growth feature configuration to the new CommunityConfiguration extension.
An early version of Community Configuration can be tested at Spanish Beta Wikipedia. We plan to release the new Community Configuration extension to pilot wikis (Arabic and Spanish Wikipedia) in early May, 2024. The first non-Growth team feature to utilize Community Configuration will be Automoderator.
In parallel with the development, the Growth team will propose Community Configuration usage guidelines, Community Configuration design guidelines, and provide technical documentation.
Add a Image experiment analysis results
The Growth team conducted an experiment to assess the impact of the “ Add an Image” structured task on the Newcomer Homepage's "Suggested Edits" module. This analysis finds that the Add an Image structured task leads to an increase in newcomer participation on the mobile web platform, particularly by making constructive (non-reverted) article edits:
Personalized praise experiment results
This feature was developed for Mentors as part of the Growth team's Positive Reinforcement project. When A/B testing on Spanish Wikipedia, we found no significant impact on retention, but we found a significant positive impact on newcomer productivity. However, we concluded that the results weren’t positive enough to justify the time investment from Mentors. We plan to discuss this feature with our pilot wikis, and consider further improvements before scaling this feature further. Meanwhile, communities willing to test the feature can ask to have it deployed. ( T361763)
English donors encouraged to try editing
As in previous years, donors were directed to a Thank you page after donation ( example). However, this year we tested a new “Try editing Wikipedia,” call to action on the Thank You page. This call to action linked to a unique account creation page. From this account creation page we were able to track Registrations and Activation (editing for the first time). During the English banner campaign, the Donor Thank you page led to 4,398 new accounts, and 441 of those accounts went on to constructively edit within 24 hours. ( T352900)
Annual Plan
The Growth team and the Editing team will work on the WE1.2 Key Result in the coming fiscal year. We will start initial discussions with communities soon to help finalize our plans. ( T361657)
Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module
We plan to A/B test adding a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We are early in the planning phase of this project that will take place first at our pilot wikis and wikis volunteering. We welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.
