This is to let you know that the al-Hafiz article has been scheduled as today's featured article for April 13, 2023. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page blurb, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 13, 2023, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2020): "Al-Hafiz was the eleventh Fatimid caliph, and the last to actually exercise any power. His accession was disputed, and his reign was tumultuous to say the least, with even his sons turning on him and one another in pursuit of power. This is my first Fatimid caliphal biography FAC, and hopefully not the last. I think it is as comprehensive as it can get, and have tried to present the complex circumstances of rise to the throne as well as I could, given that the modern sources are often themselves contradictory in their assertions." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:53, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
On 14 March 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Al-Adid, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

I've always appreciated your work, especially since we overlap on some areas of interest. But I think that it might be helpful to give back a little by reviewing some GANs. Your high-quality work has been recognized by the time and effort of other editors at the GA level and I think that it might be time to start evening that balance out. This is not any sort of attempt at soliciting reviews of my own nominations and I'd specifically ask that you not review any of them. There are plenty of other noms that I suspect that you could do an excellent job on, even if you're not a subject-matter expert on any of them. I've done plenty of reviews where the bulk of my attention has been on images and prose because I don't know much about the subject. That's OK because the bar for GA quality isn't all that high.

Hello Cplakidas. Reading the article you wrote, Andreas Tzimas, I saw his mother was from Moscopole, so I wanted to add Tzimas at Moscopole#Notable people for having roots from there. However this information is not referenced in the article and I couldn't find any sources regarding this. I could also not find Ourania Alvanou in any academic sources, searching her name both in the Latin and Greek alphabets. Where did you find this info? Could you add a source to the article? Thank you. Super Ψ Dro 21:12, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, some time ago I made an edit to the Greek President's Wikipedia page, specifically where I have labeled the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament as the Greek President's "deputy", but you seem to disagree stating that it is "Not vandalism; the Speaker is not the President's deputy". Let me explain the following: the dictionary definition of a "deputy" is "someone appointed as the substitute of another, and empowered to act for them, in their name or their behalf" and the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament fits that description as the constitutional substitute for the Greek President as per Article 34 of the Greek Constitution which states that the Parliament Speaker becomes Acting President during both temporary and absolute absences of the President of Greece. Let me explain the following: The role of a deputy of a country's President varies by jurisdiction, Wikipedians at the very least define three basic categories of deputies to a country's President: first is the category of "Vice President" which is a standalone office existing for deputizing or replacing a President, second is the category of "Designated Acting President" which is a person that deputizes or replaces a President by holding another separate office, and third is the category of "Presidential Commission" (like the one in Ireland) which is essentially a collective version of a Designated Acting President (Note: this of course excludes countries whose Presidents have no deputies or assigned substitutes and instead a new President or Acting President has to be elected or appointed immediately, such as in the case of the President of Ethiopia). In a number of jurisdictions where there is a Vice President (such as the U.S. and Brazilian Vice Presidents), the Vice President usually becomes "Acting President" (where they are just temporarily assuming the duties and powers of the presidency of their countries when the official President is not available and do not assume the full Office of President in their own right) during temporary absences and become the "Official" President during absolute absences (meaning they are now officially occupying the Office of President for the remainder of the "original" President's term). However, some Vice Presidents (such as the Vice President of India) and most Designated Acting Presidents are usually only assigned by the local constitutions to serve as "Acting President" until a new "Official" President can be elected as soon as possible in case of absolute absence, but are also assigned to become "Acting President" during temporary absences (such as travel, illness, etc.) and even during certain occasions they might not assume all powers and duties of the country's President, but instead "deputise" for the President by performing on the President's behalf merely tasks that require the President's physical presence, such as the signing of documents. So the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament is the constitutional deputy of the Greek President in that sense of the word. Belson 303 ( talk) 14:41, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Hello Constantine; hope you are doing well. I see that you tagged Draft:Albanian-Greek Border Clashes 1949 with {{ POV}} ( diff). I would like to inform you that there have been discussions about this in the past ( here and here). I thought to request a speedy deletion, with either G4 or A10, but regarding the former, even though there was a deletion discussion, the decision was a merge; regarding the latter, it cannot be used according to criterion 16 of WP:NOTCSD.

Hello Cplakidas,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Would you be interested in having a look at galley in comparison with Hellenistic-era warships? I think it would be good to get the two articles reasonably synced. You know, to avoid excessive duplication and make sure they don't contradict each other.
Also, do you think it would be relevant to do something similar with oared vessel tactics in relation to HEW? I changed the title from galley tactics recently to allow the article to be broader in scope and match sailing vessel tactics better.

On 5 July 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Sack of Mecca (930), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 930, the Qarmatians sacked Mecca, massacred Hajj pilgrims, plundered the Kaaba, and carried off the Black Stone to their homeland in Bahrayn?

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2020): "This article is about the conquest of Egypt by the Fatimids, who would make the country their seat and rule it for almost exactly two centuries. The conquest itself is an excellent example of successful political subversion, as the Egyptian elites were gradually induced to not oppose the invasion itself. As a direct result of the conquest, Cairo was founded, Egypt became once again the seat of a Mediterranean imperial power, and the Fatimids were brought one big step closer to their (ultimately unfulfilled) goal of taking Baghdad and overthrowing the Abbasid Caliphate."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I wanted to make a few comments about the "conquest of Morea" that you just added. The current untranslated version of the page is available on the Turkish wiki. ( https://tr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mora_Seferi_(1460)#:~:text=1460'ta%20ger%C3%A7ekle%C5%9Fen%20Mora%20Seferi,d%C3%BCzenledi%C4 %9Fi%20two%20soldier%C3%AE%20movement%C3%A2t%C4%B1n%20the second.&text=Sure%2) I wanted to inform you about this, so was there a need for a new page?

Hello Cplakidas,
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.

I noticed you cutting content from the sources sections at Battle of the Aegates and at Ships of ancient Rome, over 1kb at the latter. There was no Talk discussion initiated, and no edit summary, in either case. Since there are two of them (perhaps more?) and you're a long-term serious contributor, you must have some good reason for it, although for the life of me I can't see what it might be. Can you enlighten, in these two cases, and then going forward, can you please always add an edit summary with your edits, so your fellow editors aren't in the dark, and can go contribute elsewhere, instead of having to come here and ask about it? A couple of dummy edits to supply the missing edit summaries ex post facto at those articles, would be a nice touch. Cheers, Mathglot ( talk) 08:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@ Mathglot: I would recommend having there only sources that are directly under the scope of the title, e.g. Goldsworthy or Haldon are not specific to the topic, but more general histories. Otherwise the collection will become too large to be useful (potentially you could include every history work about the ancient period there because you just want a citation for a specific detail). Constantine ✍ 18:20, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
Came across this while researching for the article - thought you might have some insight:
On 13 March 1940 Metaxas attended a public lecture by Marinatos. The latter, in return, paid tribute to the "Deceased" (the dictator) and the "Absent" (King Georgios II), in his ceremonial speech at Athens University on the first national celebration of 28 October 1940.
Any idea what Marinatos might have meant by "the Deceased" or "the Absent"? In 1940, as far as I know, Metaxas wasn't dead and Georgios was no longer in exile... UndercoverClassicist T· C 09:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

The article Theodoros Pangalos (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Disambiguation page not required ( WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.
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

Dear Cplakidas, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing this message prompted by the article on the battle of Meligalas that you translated from Greek to English. Having in mind this excellent translation of yours, I was wondering whether I could ask you if you would be interested in employing your skills in the translation of another article of the Greek version of the encyclopedia concerning modern Greek history, that has also been given featured status in elwiki, that about Pavlos Melas, with which I have also greatly concerned myself in the past. Regardless of whether this would be included in your future activities, in which case I am sure of a similarly excellent result, please accept my best wishes, Ashmedai 119 ( talk) 12:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very much for this notification. I am not sure if I should be replying here, so please let me know if you would prefer me to write not in this talk page. In any case, there is not really a contradiction, as this statement is temporally specific; it refers to the period after the defeat in the war of 1897 and the dissolution of the "National Society". I am quoting from page 101 of Gounaris's chapter:
I propose adding an explanatory phrase to the end of the sentence (e.g. something along the lines of "against the mood of apathy and despair that had prevailed after the war of 1897") and including page 101 to the range of pages to which the reader is referred in the footnote following after this sentence. Ashmedai 119 ( talk) 07:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The article Coronation of the Byzantine emperor you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Coronation of the Byzantine emperor for comments about the article, and Talk:Coronation of the Byzantine emperor/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Thank you today for Battle of Settepozzi, introduced (in 2019): "An article on a naval battle between the Venetians and the Genoese in 1263, in the context of the War of Saint Sabas and the restoration of the Byzantine Empire by Michael VIII Palaiologos. Few details are known about the battle itself, but its diplomatic repercussions were great, leading the Byzantines to a rapprochement with Venice soon after. Consequently much of the article deals with the political setting and impact. I began the article back in 2010, but over the last year of so have expanded it considerably, as I have gained access to more sources, and as some questions of detail have emerged." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Constantine! Long time no see. I hope everything is doing well. I was checking some Ancient Egyptian content and, despite I know is not exactly your primary area of interest, I think I found an hoax. Probably a fake goddess. " Nebtuwi" was supposedly Khnum's wife, but I cannot find reliable sources to that on the internet (in press or online). The articles mentions a Russian source (unverified) and a broken site (but considering the name, it's difficult to assume that is reliable). The creator is banned now, and I guess that was a fake thing left behind. Supposing it's correct my idea, would you mind sending that to deletion? I'm not acquainted about the procedures to propose myself. Renato de Carvalho Ferreira ( talk) 15:43, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey! First of all, thank you for reviewing Eretna and Eretnid dynasty. I have a question about the different spellings of the names of historical figures that would be relevant to these articles as well. Many sources I have come across use diacritics (specifically macrons), and I have initially paid close attention to using them, perhaps because they looked really fancy :). But there is always some variation and no apparent pattern within Wikipedia when they are used (apart from the obvious case of transliterations). They also slow down the writing process, so I'm unsure if this is the right way to do it. I know that often times, diacritics are discouraged when it comes to article titles, and WP:DIACRITICS is a bit general and leaves it to the frequency of different spellings among RS. I see that you have worked on many GAs and FAs that use diacritics in some places. Do you follow any specific rules or any guidelines I might have missed? I am thinking of removing most macrons on the aforementioned pages and several other. Thank you, Aintabli ( talk) 03:43, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you could take a look at the articles edited by Eugene de Moree since you're knowledgeable on the topic. To me, they use what appears to be highly suspicious sources at odds with the academic ones I'm aware of to push genealogical narratives related to the medieval Morea/Achaea principality.

Hello Cplakidas,
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.

Hello Constantine,
I try to follow the changes you make to the article Preveza, and I would like to ask some questions.
What makes you believe that the Ottoman conquest of the region of Preveza occured in c. 1486/87? There has been more recent research since these views were formed. i.e. this article, in English of this, in Greek. Furthermore, the views of late Petros Phourikes, published almost 100 years back in the EEBS (annuaire de l’ association d’ études byzantines), have already been reevaluated by this article published in the same scientific annuaire. Namely, the dating of Preveza concluded by Phourikes, and based on the mention of the place (Prevesa) in some of the copies of the Chronicle of Morea, has been disputed.
Many thanks for the time you take to make wikipedia a safer reading.

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2020): "Al-Hafiz was the eleventh Fatimid caliph, and the last to actually exercise any power. His accession was disputed, and his reign was tumultuous to say the least, with even his sons turning on him and one another in pursuit of power. This is my first Fatimid caliphal biography FAC, and hopefully not the last. I think it is as comprehensive as it can get, and have tried to present the complex circumstances of rise to the throne as well as I could, given that the modern sources are often themselves contradictory in their assertions." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:53, 13 April 2023 (UTC)

I've always appreciated your work, especially since we overlap on some areas of interest. But I think that it might be helpful to give back a little by reviewing some GANs. Your high-quality work has been recognized by the time and effort of other editors at the GA level and I think that it might be time to start evening that balance out. This is not any sort of attempt at soliciting reviews of my own nominations and I'd specifically ask that you not review any of them. There are plenty of other noms that I suspect that you could do an excellent job on, even if you're not a subject-matter expert on any of them. I've done plenty of reviews where the bulk of my attention has been on images and prose because I don't know much about the subject. That's OK because the bar for GA quality isn't all that high.

On 10 May 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that medieval Muslim historians blamed al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah for the loss of much of Palestine to the crusaders but, in reality, he played no role in the Fatimid government during that period? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Al-Amir bi-Ahkam Allah), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hi, some time ago I made an edit to the Greek President's Wikipedia page, specifically where I have labeled the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament as the Greek President's "deputy", but you seem to disagree stating that it is "Not vandalism; the Speaker is not the President's deputy". Let me explain the following: the dictionary definition of a "deputy" is "someone appointed as the substitute of another, and empowered to act for them, in their name or their behalf" and the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament fits that description as the constitutional substitute for the Greek President as per Article 34 of the Greek Constitution which states that the Parliament Speaker becomes Acting President during both temporary and absolute absences of the President of Greece. Let me explain the following: The role of a deputy of a country's President varies by jurisdiction, Wikipedians at the very least define three basic categories of deputies to a country's President: first is the category of "Vice President" which is a standalone office existing for deputizing or replacing a President, second is the category of "Designated Acting President" which is a person that deputizes or replaces a President by holding another separate office, and third is the category of "Presidential Commission" (like the one in Ireland) which is essentially a collective version of a Designated Acting President (Note: this of course excludes countries whose Presidents have no deputies or assigned substitutes and instead a new President or Acting President has to be elected or appointed immediately, such as in the case of the President of Ethiopia). In a number of jurisdictions where there is a Vice President (such as the U.S. and Brazilian Vice Presidents), the Vice President usually becomes "Acting President" (where they are just temporarily assuming the duties and powers of the presidency of their countries when the official President is not available and do not assume the full Office of President in their own right) during temporary absences and become the "Official" President during absolute absences (meaning they are now officially occupying the Office of President for the remainder of the "original" President's term). However, some Vice Presidents (such as the Vice President of India) and most Designated Acting Presidents are usually only assigned by the local constitutions to serve as "Acting President" until a new "Official" President can be elected as soon as possible in case of absolute absence, but are also assigned to become "Acting President" during temporary absences (such as travel, illness, etc.) and even during certain occasions they might not assume all powers and duties of the country's President, but instead "deputise" for the President by performing on the President's behalf merely tasks that require the President's physical presence, such as the signing of documents. So the Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament is the constitutional deputy of the Greek President in that sense of the word. Belson 303 ( talk) 14:41, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
The article Angelo Emo you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Angelo Emo for comments about the article, and Talk:Angelo Emo/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Hello Constantine; hope you are doing well. I see that you tagged Draft:Albanian-Greek Border Clashes 1949 with {{ POV}} ( diff). I would like to inform you that there have been discussions about this in the past ( here and here). I thought to request a speedy deletion, with either G4 or A10, but regarding the former, even though there was a deletion discussion, the decision was a merge; regarding the latter, it cannot be used according to criterion 16 of WP:NOTCSD. I believe the only other alternative is an MfD. Unfortunately, i am not familiar with this process, and i don't have time to go over the instructions right now.

Hello Cplakidas,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Would you be interested in having a look at galley in comparison with Hellenistic-era warships? I think it would be good to get the two articles reasonably synced. You know, to avoid excessive duplication and make sure they don't contradict each other.
Also, do you think it would be relevant to do something similar with oared vessel tactics in relation to HEW? I changed the title from galley tactics recently to allow the article to be broader in scope and match sailing vessel tactics better.

Thank you today for the article, introduced (in 2020): "This article is about the conquest of Egypt by the Fatimids, who would make the country their seat and rule it for almost exactly two centuries. The conquest itself is an excellent example of successful political subversion, as the Egyptian elites were gradually induced to not oppose the invasion itself. As a direct result of the conquest, Cairo was founded, Egypt became once again the seat of a Mediterranean imperial power, and the Fatimids were brought one big step closer to their (ultimately unfulfilled) goal of taking Baghdad and overthrowing the Abbasid Caliphate."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:41, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Cplakidas,
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.

I noticed you cutting content from the sources sections at Battle of the Aegates and at Ships of ancient Rome, over 1kb at the latter. There was no Talk discussion initiated, and no edit summary, in either case. Since there are two of them (perhaps more?) and you're a long-term serious contributor, you must have some good reason for it, although for the life of me I can't see what it might be. Can you enlighten, in these two cases, and then going forward, can you please always add an edit summary with your edits, so your fellow editors aren't in the dark, and can go contribute elsewhere, instead of having to come here and ask about it? A couple of dummy edits to supply the missing edit summaries ex post facto at those articles, would be a nice touch. Cheers, Mathglot ( talk) 08:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
@ Mathglot: I would recommend having there only sources that are directly under the scope of the title, e.g. Goldsworthy or Haldon are not specific to the topic, but more general histories. Otherwise the collection will become too large to be useful (potentially you could include every history work about the ancient period there because you just want a citation for a specific detail).

On 13 March 1940 Metaxas attended a public lecture by Marinatos. The latter, in return, paid tribute to the "Deceased" (the dictator) and the "Absent" (King Georgios II), in his ceremonial speech at Athens University on the first national celebration of 28 October 1940.
Any idea what Marinatos might have meant by "the Deceased" or "the Absent"? In 1940, as far as I know, Metaxas wasn't dead and Georgios was no longer in exile... UndercoverClassicist T· C 09:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Dear Cplakidas, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing this message prompted by the article on the battle of Meligalas that you translated from Greek to English. Having in mind this excellent translation of yours, I was wondering whether I could ask you if you would be interested in employing your skills in the translation of another article of the Greek version of the encyclopedia concerning modern Greek history, that has also been given featured status in elwiki, that about Pavlos Melas, with which I have also greatly concerned myself in the past. Regardless of whether this would be included in your future activities, in which case I am sure of a similarly excellent result, please accept my best wishes, Ashmedai 119 ( talk) 12:29, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
Thank you very much for this notification. I am not sure if I should be replying here, so please let me know if you would prefer me to write not in this talk page. In any case, there is not really a contradiction, as this statement is temporally specific; it refers to the period after the defeat in the war of 1897 and the dissolution of the "National Society". I am quoting from page 101 of Gounaris's chapter:
I propose adding an explanatory phrase to the end of the sentence (e.g. something along the lines of "against the mood of apathy and despair that had prevailed after the war of 1897") and including page 101 to the range of pages to which the reader is referred in the footnote following after this sentence. Ashmedai 119 ( talk) 07:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The article Coronation of the Byzantine emperor you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Coronation of the Byzantine emperor for comments about the article, and Talk:Coronation of the Byzantine emperor/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Thank you today for Battle of Settepozzi, introduced (in 2019): "An article on a naval battle between the Venetians and the Genoese in 1263, in the context of the War of Saint Sabas and the restoration of the Byzantine Empire by Michael VIII Palaiologos. Few details are known about the battle itself, but its diplomatic repercussions were great, leading the Byzantines to a rapprochement with Venice soon after. Consequently much of the article deals with the political setting and impact. I began the article back in 2010, but over the last year of so have expanded it considerably, as I have gained access to more sources, and as some questions of detail have emerged." -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:21, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

I just bought a dozen volumes of the Journal of Military History at a used bookstore and stumbled across one that you might find of interest. Stoyanov, Aleksandr. The Size of Bulgaria's Medieval Field Armies: A Case Study of Military Mobilization Capacity in the Middle Ages. JMH, July 2019 83(3), pp. 719–746. It's got a few relevant bits relating the 2nd Arab Siege of Constantinople that should be useful for that article. Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 22:05, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Constantine! Long time no see. I hope everything is doing well. I was checking some Ancient Egyptian content and, despite I know is not exactly your primary area of interest, I think I found an hoax. Probably a fake goddess. " Nebtuwi" was supposedly Khnum's wife, but I cannot find reliable sources to that on the internet (in press or online). The articles mentions a Russian source (unverified) and a broken site (but considering the name, it's difficult to assume that is reliable). The creator is banned now, and I guess that was a fake thing left behind. Supposing it's correct my idea, would you mind sending that to deletion? I'm not acquainted about the procedures to propose myself. Renato de Carvalho Ferreira ( talk) 15:43, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

On 23 December 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Coronation of the Byzantine emperor, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Coronation of the Byzantine emperor), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hey! First of all, thank you for reviewing Eretna and Eretnid dynasty. I have a question about the different spellings of the names of historical figures that would be relevant to these articles as well. Many sources I have come across use diacritics (specifically macrons), and I have initially paid close attention to using them, perhaps because they looked really fancy :). But there is always some variation and no apparent pattern within Wikipedia when they are used (apart from the obvious case of transliterations). They also slow down the writing process, so I'm unsure if this is the right way to do it. I know that often times, diacritics are discouraged when it comes to article titles, and WP:DIACRITICS is a bit general and leaves it to the frequency of different spellings among RS. I see that you have worked on many GAs and FAs that use diacritics in some places. Do you follow any specific rules or any guidelines I might have missed? I am thinking of removing most macrons on the aforementioned pages and several other. Thank you, Aintabli ( talk) 03:43, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm wondering if you could take a look at the articles edited by Eugene de Moree since you're knowledgeable on the topic.

Hello Cplakidas,
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.

Hello Constantine,
I try to follow the changes you make to the article Preveza, and I would like to ask some questions.
What makes you believe that the Ottoman conquest of the region of Preveza occured in c. 1486/87? There has been more recent research since these views were formed. i.e. this article, in English of this, in Greek. Furthermore, the views of late Petros Phourikes, published almost 100 years back in the EEBS (annuaire de l’ association d’ études byzantines), have already been reevaluated by this article published in the same scientific annuaire. Namely, the dating of Preveza concluded by Phourikes, and based on the mention of the place (Prevesa) in some of the copies of the Chronicle of Morea, has been disputed.
Many thanks for the time you take to make wikipedia a safer reading.
