Your recent edits at Cultural Revolution are very good.
You templated the background section as needing further context. I'm willing to help here if I can. What do you suggest lay readers need more context for? I generally see the section as too long (consistent with your templating of the article overall). It strikes me, for example, that the amount of Great Leap Forward material could be shortened. This is only one view of course, and we might develop some context and trim others. JArthur1984 ( talk) 15:47, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Remsense, thanks again for your answers at
WP:Help desk. Any chance I could get you to stop using Html tags <ul>, <li> <embed> and others? They are error-prone and tend to get left unclosed or improperly closed (as happened in
this edit, with the end sequence </ul></li>
). There are all sorts of alternatives or workarounds, depending what you want to do. There's no reason I can think of to use <ul>, <ol>, or <li> given that regular wiki markup of asterisk or hash will do what you need; alternatives are {{
blist}} and {{
olist}}, and there are others. As far as embedding Html code, try <pre> or {{
Syntaxhighlight}}; the bottom of the template page has plenty of alternatives. A q&d method is using
Html entities; see the wikicode of this message.

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges ( Cwmhiraeth ( talk · contribs), Epicgenius ( talk · contribs), and Frostly ( talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages.

1: Nothing on the page says that you have to go to the talk page before editing it. Even if something on the page DID say that, except in a few administrative cases, Wikipedia does not have random different rules for specific pages. Some random person with a control freak nature deciding he's the special sentinel of a given page is not one of those situations.
If you think something needs a citation, place a citation needed tag after it, do not remove the contribution. People like you are the people that make Wikipedia a toxic place to be.
2: Nothing in the definition of a contronym requires the etymologies be the same, nor defined how they must get to that state. It simply means that the words are the same and mean their own opposite. These are not "two different words", they are one word with multiple definitions.
I am only saying my peace here, as I know you will be unmoved and will insist that you are and must be right. People like you always do that. But it's irrelevant. Wikipedia is apparently yours, not mine. 2601:1C2:5000:8CC7:E8E0:2BA4:C7AA:A638 ( talk) 04:03, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page or ask via the
NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion.

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hello Remsense -- I saw you speedy-deleted an article I wrote about this statistical software package under WP:G11. Although there's some historical advertising material in one of the links this dates back to the 1980s, it relates to historical archives at the Spectrum Archive so I wouldn't have considered this to be promotional material. Could you help me pad this out and get the tone right, also possibly restore the page or a copy of it so I don't need to start from scratch? From what I can tell the article has existed since 2006 but I can't find the history anywhere or the context of why it disappeared, which is why I ended up rewriting. There are a lot of broken links right now to the Unistat article from other statistics articles which is somewhat awkward. Cheers! Isik5 ( talk) 12:42, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

I have quite prematurely rolled back a user removing all of WMIMANSE?'s work on the Ming dynasty, thinking a wholesale deletion of such detailed and sourced content must be some kind of mistake, and only after did I realize the "banned sock" moniker was legitimate.

Hello Remsense, I noticed that you reverted some of my additions to the Sima Guang article because Chinaknowledge.de was "not a reliable source". However, I have used the website in the past for other articles with no issues, and the editor of the website is very credible (Ulrich Theobald is a lecturer and has a PhD in Sinology). I am curious about your reasoning on this revert and will respect your decision, but I would personally prefer that the revert be undone since the website provided a lot of good information. Thanks!

At the risk of seeming to be a cultural imperialist, why not merge into Sans-serif? We don't have an American gothic [a]. There are many "gothic" (aka Sans-serif) typefaces; many include the CJK character sets as well as the European ones. I wonder if you are proposing a solution for a disappearing problem?
It is certainly not an easy one! 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 20:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Gothic: Popular with American type founders. Perhaps the first use of the term was due to the Boston Type and Stereotype Foundry, which in 1837 published a set of sans-serif typefaces under that name. It is believed that those were the first sans-serif designs to be introduced in America. [1] The term probably derived from the architectural definition, which is neither Greek nor Roman, [2] and from the extended adjective term of "Germany", which was the place where sans-serif typefaces became popular in the 19th to 20th centuries. [3] Early adopters for the term includes Miller & Richard (1863), J. & R. M. Wood (1865), Lothian, Conner, Bruce McKellar. Although the usage is now when? rare in the English-speaking world, the term is commonly used in Japan and South Korea; in China they are known by the term heiti (Chinese: 黑體), literally meaning "black type", which is probably derived from the mistranslation of Gothic as blackletter typeface, even though actual blackletter typefaces have serifs.

{{
Infobox Chinese}}
often includes synonyms of terms that aren't explicated in the article itself, simply because it would unduly clutter the article body. I think that's totally fine.I'd like to know more about your "oppose" to the Wugapodes suggestion. You refer there to your own previous comment and to Ssilvers. Your own is too long for now, but what I read from Ssilvers is short: "This would blatantly violate the ArbCom compromise. It also appears that canvassing may be going on here." What in that do you mean, or do you mean something else, - then please clarify in the discussion. (I seriously don't know of any ArbCom compromise. To my possibly limited knowledge, ArbCom just quoted the MoS item that we are discussing, requested a community-wide RfC which we seem to have, finally, and so left things to battle again and again from article to article which hasn't made editor relations sweeter. For me, Mozart and Copland are compromise, and could be models.) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Remsense,
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, me again, i was wondering if you can act as the third person to dispute on Djong talk page.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deng Xiaoping. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 11:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Your edit is entirely erroneous. You say theres no reliable source for the Masoretic text not containing the book of Maccabees? Is the Masoretic text itself not a reliable source? How about any website on the internet other than this one wiki page? Or any every other wiki page that pertains to the Masoretic text. What source do you have listed for the opposite being true? You don’t have any listed at all. The Septuagint is the text that contains the books of Maccabees.
This is page has verifiably false information all the way through it. It says the Masoretic text is most commonly used. Thats not correct. The catholics use the Septuagint and there are 300,000,000 more Catholics than there are Protestants. The Greek Orthodox use the Septuagint, that adds another 260,000,000 to the number. So 560,000,000 more Christians use the septuagint than those who use the Masoretic text. Thats not even counting all of the denominations that use King James Version that also uses the Septuagint, which is a fair number of the protestants in the world, and close to half of the Christians in the US.
All of the information on this page is easily shown to be false. Not to say it mentions a lot of stuff that is fringe. Lukeferg96 ( talk) 09:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I just added this section to the WikiProject:Outlines page, and thought you might find it useful...
The outlines need watchdogs, to keep an eye on them and make sure they are secure and well maintained.
Here are some tips for effective monitoring of this valuable resource:
Place this project's articles alerts template on your talk page in such a way that it floats at the bottom, so that you see it every time you read a message there. To do so, copy and paste this code near the top of your talk page:
<ref>{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Article alerts}}</ref>
This will allow you to easily keep track of outline deletion discussions at AfD, requested moves, featured list nominations, and other formally tagged outline-related nominations.
Note: Article alerts doesn't catch everything, like page edits and untagged discussions. For those, we have watchlists...
There's a comprehensive outline-related watchlist at Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Watchlist using Related changes.
Follow the instructions at the top of that page.
Also feel free to keep that page up to date by adding new outline-related pages to it.
In the desktop view of Wikipedia, one tool available to monitor activity on outlines is related changes. To use it on outlines, go to Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines and click on "Related changes" in the tools menu.
In order for this to work on all outlines, Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines must be kept up to date.
Beware: "Related changes" looks a lot like "Recent changes", and it is easy to accidentally use the latter by mistake.
Related changes works on the various Category:Wikipedia outlines pages, too.
I hope the above tips help.
Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 19:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

This page has archives. Sections older than 90 days may be automatically archived by Lowercase sigmabot III when more than 5 sections are present. |
Your recent edits at Cultural Revolution are very good.
You templated the background section as needing further context. I'm willing to help here if I can. What do you suggest lay readers need more context for? I generally see the section as too long (consistent with your templating of the article overall). It strikes me, for example, that the amount of Great Leap Forward material could be shortened. This is only one view of course, and we might develop some context and trim others. JArthur1984 ( talk) 15:47, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Remsense, thanks again for your answers at
WP:Help desk. Any chance I could get you to stop using Html tags <ul>, <li> <embed> and others? They are error-prone and tend to get left unclosed or improperly closed (as happened in
this edit, with the end sequence </ul></li>
). There are all sorts of alternatives or workarounds, depending what you want to do. There's no reason I can think of to use <ul>, <ol>, or <li> given that regular wiki markup of asterisk or hash will do what you need; alternatives are {{
blist}} and {{
olist}}, and there are others. As far as embedding Html code, try <pre> or {{
Syntaxhighlight}}; the bottom of the template page has plenty of alternatives. A q&d method is using
Html entities; see the wikicode of this message.

The 2024 WikiCup is off to a flying start, with 135 participants. This is the largest number of participants we have seen since 2017.
Our current leader is newcomer Generalissima ( submissions), who has one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher) and 10 GAs and 12 DYKs mostly on New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures. Here are some more noteworthy scorers:
As a reminder, competitors may submit work for the first round until 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February, and the second round starts 1 March. Remember that only the top 64 scoring competitors will make it through to the second round; currently, competitors need at least 15 points to progress. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAN, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

1: Nothing on the page says that you have to go to the talk page before editing it. Even if something on the page DID say that, except in a few administrative cases, Wikipedia does not have random different rules for specific pages. Some random person with a control freak nature deciding he's the special sentinel of a given page is not one of those situations.
If you think something needs a citation, place a citation needed tag after it, do not remove the contribution. People like you are the people that make Wikipedia a toxic place to be.
2: Nothing in the definition of a contronym requires the etymologies be the same, nor defined how they must get to that state. It simply means that the words are the same and mean their own opposite. These are not "two different words", they are one word with multiple definitions.
I am only saying my peace here, as I know you will be unmoved and will insist that you are and must be right. People like you always do that. But it's irrelevant. Wikipedia is apparently yours, not mine. 2601:1C2:5000:8CC7:E8E0:2BA4:C7AA:A638 ( talk) 04:03, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.
The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:
In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to Vami_IV ( submissions), who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.
Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

Hello Remsense -- I saw you speedy-deleted an article I wrote about this statistical software package under WP:G11. Although there's some historical advertising material in one of the links this dates back to the 1980s, it relates to historical archives at the Spectrum Archive so I wouldn't have considered this to be promotional material. Could you help me pad this out and get the tone right, also possibly restore the page or a copy of it so I don't need to start from scratch? From what I can tell the article has existed since 2006 but I can't find the history anywhere or the context of why it disappeared, which is why I ended up rewriting. There are a lot of broken links right now to the Unistat article from other statistics articles which is somewhat awkward. Cheers! Isik5 ( talk) 12:42, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

I am curious about your reasoning on this revert and will respect your decision, but I would personally prefer that the revert be undone since the website provided a lot of good information. Thanks!

The Core Contest—Wikipedia's most exciting contest—returns again this year from April 15 to May 31. The goal: to improve vital or other core articles, with a focus on those in the worst state of disrepair. Editing can be done individually, but in the past groups have also successfully competed. There is £300 of prize money divided among editors who provide the "best additive encyclopedic value". Signups are open now. Cheers from the judges, Femke, Casliber, Aza24. – Aza24 (talk) 02:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

At the risk of seeming to be a cultural imperialist, why not merge into Sans-serif? We don't have an American gothic [a]. There are many "gothic" (aka Sans-serif) typefaces; many include the CJK character sets as well as the European ones. I wonder if you are proposing a solution for a disappearing problem?
It is certainly not an easy one! 𝕁𝕄𝔽 ( talk) 20:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Gothic: Popular with American type founders. Perhaps the first use of the term was due to the Boston Type and Stereotype Foundry, which in 1837 published a set of sans-serif typefaces under that name. It is believed that those were the first sans-serif designs to be introduced in America. [1] The term probably derived from the architectural definition, which is neither Greek nor Roman, [2] and from the extended adjective term of "Germany", which was the place where sans-serif typefaces became popular in the 19th to 20th centuries. [3] Early adopters for the term includes Miller & Richard (1863), J. & R. M. Wood (1865), Lothian, Conner, Bruce McKellar. Although the usage is now when? rare in the English-speaking world, the term is commonly used in Japan and South Korea; in China they are known by the term heiti (Chinese: 黑體), literally meaning "black type", which is probably derived from the mistranslation of Gothic as blackletter typeface, even though actual blackletter typefaces have serifs.

You had recently given me guidance to resort to emailing the Wikimedia foundation for further steps, which I have done.

Hello, @ Remsense. While I’ve no intention of disturbing it again, Catherine of Aragon watching Henry jousting in her honour after giving birth to a son (to be found here) still impresses me as unsound prose. Certainly the intended meaning is clear and the construction technically sound, but those qualities don’t necessarily protect against carrying the reader’s mind in strange directions.

{{
Infobox Chinese}}
often includes synonyms of terms that aren't explicated in the article itself, simply because it would unduly clutter the article body. I think that's totally fine.I'd like to know more about your "oppose" to the Wugapodes suggestion. You refer there to your own previous comment and to Ssilvers. Your own is too long for now, but what I read from Ssilvers is short: "This would blatantly violate the ArbCom compromise. It also appears that canvassing may be going on here." What in that do you mean, or do you mean something else, - then please clarify in the discussion. (I seriously don't know of any ArbCom compromise. To my possibly limited knowledge, ArbCom just quoted the MoS item that we are discussing, requested a community-wide RfC which we seem to have, finally, and so left things to battle again and again from article to article which hasn't made editor relations sweeter. For me, Mozart and Copland are compromise, and could be models.) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello Remsense,
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.

Regarding this comment: I'm not sure " pork-barrelling" is the phrase you're looking for. The term is typically used for handing out specific benefits targeted for specific groups to secure their support, with the connotation that it's the only reason for doing so.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Deng Xiaoping. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Callanecc ( talk • contribs • logs) 11:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Your edit is entirely erroneous. You say theres no reliable source for the Masoretic text not containing the book of Maccabees? Is the Masoretic text itself not a reliable source? How about any website on the internet other than this one wiki page? Or any every other wiki page that pertains to the Masoretic text. What source do you have listed for the opposite being true? You don’t have any listed at all. The Septuagint is the text that contains the books of Maccabees.
This is page has verifiably false information all the way through it. It says the Masoretic text is most commonly used. Thats not correct. The catholics use the Septuagint and there are 300,000,000 more Catholics than there are Protestants. The Greek Orthodox use the Septuagint, that adds another 260,000,000 to the number. So 560,000,000 more Christians use the septuagint than those who use the Masoretic text. Thats not even counting all of the denominations that use King James Version that also uses the Septuagint, which is a fair number of the protestants in the world, and close to half of the Christians in the US.
All of the information on this page is easily shown to be false. Not to say it mentions a lot of stuff that is fringe. Lukeferg96 ( talk) 09:32, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

I just added this section to the WikiProject:Outlines page, and thought you might find it useful...
The outlines need watchdogs, to keep an eye on them and make sure they are secure and well maintained.
Here are some tips for effective monitoring of this valuable resource:
Place this project's articles alerts template on your talk page in such a way that it floats at the bottom, so that you see it every time you read a message there. To do so, copy and paste this code near the top of your talk page:
<ref>{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Article alerts}}</ref>
This will allow you to easily keep track of outline deletion discussions at AfD, requested moves, featured list nominations, and other formally tagged outline-related nominations.
Note: Article alerts doesn't catch everything, like page edits and untagged discussions. For those, we have watchlists...
There's a comprehensive outline-related watchlist at Wikipedia:WikiProject Outlines/Watchlist using Related changes.
Follow the instructions at the top of that page.
Also feel free to keep that page up to date by adding new outline-related pages to it.
In the desktop view of Wikipedia, one tool available to monitor activity on outlines is related changes. To use it on outlines, go to Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines and click on "Related changes" in the tools menu.
In order for this to work on all outlines, Wikipedia:Contents/Outlines must be kept up to date.
Beware: "Related changes" looks a lot like "Recent changes", and it is easy to accidentally use the latter by mistake.
Related changes works on the various Category:Wikipedia outlines pages, too.
I hope the above tips help.
