Hi, kinda new to editing wikipedia (though I've edited some fandom wikis fairly extensively).
The problem I have is that the page I wanted to edit is pretty badly written both in structure and grammar. While I think I can write at a standard required, I'm not sure if I can keep it up for a whole article given that i don't have much experience with writing standards of Wikipedia specifically.
I wouldn't want to create issues where my work has to be rewritten so was wondering whether I should go ahead and do it or just leave it for someone more qualified.
I don't mind giving it a shot of course, I am familiar with the subject matter so I could probably do a decent job. -- Wixilix ( talk) 20:24, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello Alextejthompson,
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, my name is Pearl and I was asked by Dr. Giorgio D'alessandro to edit his page, He was an athlete before he became a doctor and his journey to becoming a doctor is quite interesting, He does not have a page to say, but he is on the Russian Wikipedia..He is anxious to have this started and I would like some advice on how to do this..I am savvy and have experience with technology -- MD-Milano ( talk) 02:05, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Hola Alex, I've read you are my mentor. Glad to know that!! I'm a little bit confused about how to collaborate.
I joined: «Coordinate Me 2024 AR» «DesafioGLAM»
I don't understand both interfaces and "how to collaborate"
I read the tutorials but I'm afraid it didn't help. Altough I "might be old" (56 yeard old) I consider myself great with technology (I'm Beta Tester Google Maps and I collaborate with Local Guides Program 9 Level with about 151M photo views)
I uploaded yesterday a photo of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6150835 But I don't see it.
I also send a note that this entry should be deleted: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q9088802
Thank you very much Alex for your time! -- 68rodcan ( talk) 15:10, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
