Dear Pigsonthewing/Archive 121,
I'd like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join the Fifteen Year Society, an informal group for editors who've been participating in the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more.
Best regards, Urhixidur ( talk) 16:28, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi there, as you created this template, I thought I should let you know that the SongFacts URLs are no longer in the http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1697 format, now they look like this: https://www.songfacts.com/facts/pink-floyd/comfortably-numb and there doesn't appear to be any way to derive the ID number from the page, if you don't know it in advance.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Paul Braddon, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Addington ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Hello Pigsonthewing,
Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:
Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.
Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.
