Some critics of the optional RfA candidate poll have said they don't see any advantages that couldn't be achieved more effectively through other means. I was wondering if you had some concerns about asking one of the frequent administrator candidate nominators for feedback? You can get a sense from their track record how dialed in they are to community sentiment. I appreciate it can be tricky to take an unbiased look at your own record. Nonetheless, have you attempted to see how you measure up based on the various concerns that users have raised at RfA?
Regarding your proposal, I understand you might think it's a perfect way to attract you to volunteer to be an administrator. I have concerns, though, both about the community effort expended in having trial runs versus added benefit, and making the process twice as arduous for prospective candidates, while still discouraging those who don't receive positive support during their trial run and thus leave Wikipedia. isaacl ( talk) 01:23, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:
To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron ( talk • she/her), via:

Hi, do you think you would vote to delete the page John Tran if you saw it in an AfD? I asked on another editor's talk page weeks ago with no response. I ask only because I am unsure if it meets WP:NPOL #2 and I'd rather avoid another Paul Richards if possible. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse ( talk) 17:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
I agree with you, but it can be a futile task to debate the long term notability of a political candidate in the middle of election season in the US. It may be better to wait until the election is in the rear view mirror to discuss notability and in the meantime, patrol the article for policy violations. - Enos733 ( talk) 04:42, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
I wanted to be honest with you regarding the RfC closure review in January and say that yes, I had noticed the discussion that you and others were having on A. B.'s talk page. I'm sorry for plotting against your plan to challenge the close. I had spoken to A. B. about this on their talk page and should've contacted you, too. Sunnya343 ( talk) 21:23, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
I believe the Chiefs going on to win the Super Bowl shows an “lasting impact” that could justify the page. 131.247.224.203 ( talk) 20:14, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Where is Kate? (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.IgnatiusofLondon (he/him • ☎️) 11:55, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello SportingFlyer,
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.
