By far the funniest and most clever Wikipedia page I randomly stumbled on. Kudos. The fish genuinely made me laugh out loud — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sumtimz I B Learnin ( talk • contribs) 07:04, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

hi, how to add an institution (like college or hospital) profile on Wikipedia? -- Ar.S.Anand Kumar ( talk) 03:01, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I'm just beginning to edit and draft in Wikipedia. I've just completed an article entitled "the size and shape of the atomic nucleus." A note at the top of the page states that the article is unassessed. How do I request an assessment? This is my first Wikipedia article and your suggestions would be most helpful!

Hey, Extraordinary Writ,
I see you are active right now so I'm hoping you can take care of deleting the files in Category:Proposed deletion as of 23 March 2024. I tagged them for PROD'd deletion so I can't delete them myself. Thanks for any help you can provide. Hope you are having a good weekend! Liz Read! Talk! 22:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article William Burnham Woods you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article William Burnham Woods you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:William Burnham Woods for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of the article.

You moved Macbeth (opera), without a redirect, and now hundreds of links are leading to nonsense instead to a precise opera. Shouldn't in case of a move to a new name without redirect the links be fixed first?? I'd like to hope that's all an April Fool's joke, but the pedantic name change seems to be planned to stay, sigh. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:23, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2024).
Hello Extraordinary Writ,
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.

Hey, I can't edit my change request. The "edit" button is missing, since the formatting is wrong. Here is the link to the talk page: /info/en/?search=Talk:Paraguayan_War Thanks -- JakobR32 ( talk) 17:35, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi, I request you to please restore the Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip article that you deleted as I intend to write and expand. Thanks. Mfarazbaig ( talk) 00:23, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Mentor! I have a added a large contribution to a Regenerative Architecture section on the wiki page "Sustainable City". This is from some research I have done for a university project and I thought I could contribute. In my paragraphs, I often include in-sentence citations. I am used to APA citation and I did my best to replicate that for the Wiki system. Please let me know if I did anything wrong! Thank you and have a great day! -- Kpendry ( talk) 00:05, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
