Welcome, welcome, welcome! Your work on LGBT-related articles is very commendable, especially because how little editors are working on that area. Since I couldn't get WP:PetScan to run, unfortunately I couldn't suggest to you any articles right now :(. You can try putting "LGBT" in the categories section, adjust the depth to 7, then go to the templates page and put "Unreferenced" in the "has a template:" box to search for uncited articles though. It's complicated I know :). I search for you some articles later in the day if you want some articles to test out your citation skills. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 07:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, PetScan is working again. Here are a few short articles you can try out:

• Terminal Velocity (novel)
• Gender transposition
• Q-Factor (LGBT)
• National Day Against Homophobia
• List of LGBT organizations that affiliate with political parties

Your page

The name Coraline is actually one that has been invented twice by fictional writers. One source says the French name, with an een ending, was invented for a character in the opera La Toreador in the 1850s. It was later reinvented by Gaiman based on the misprint of Caroline, with the long i ending. In both conttexts, it is an invented name that meets the category.

Hello. I saw you approved some of my newly created pages about inscriptions. I wanted to ask why some of the inscription pages I made have been approved I made in the last week (Zabad inscription, Ruwafa inscriptions, Yazid inscription) but others which were created even before some of these still have not been approved (Jabal Dabub inscription, Ri al-Zallalah inscription, Jebel Usays inscription, Harran inscription, Hima Paleo-Arabic inscriptions, Dumat al-Jandal inscription)? Pogenplain (talk) 16:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pogenplain:, the reason for this is likely that some of your articles got listed by a bot on a "new pages" notice page that I happen to follow because they contained some key words (probably related to ancient Rome or Greece, since those are the main topics I follow on Wikipedia), it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the pages or anything like that, all your articles are good as far as I've seen. 🙂★Trekker (talk) 17:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @StarTrekker:. If you do not mind I have created two more inscriptions and these are the last inscription pages I am creating for the foreseeable future so I hope you can review these quickly as well so that I do not encounter the same issue. Umm al-Jimal Paleo-Arabic inscription and Umm Burayrah inscription. Pogenplain (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pogenplain: Done! Thank you for your work on these pages.★Trekker (talk) 20:27, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@StarTrekker: Thank you and I enjoy it. Are you OK with if I tag you from now on on my talk page about approving new pages I make? I also have now Paleo-Arabic, Ja 1028, DJE 23, Malkikarib Yuhamin. I also changed Judaism in pre-Islamic Arabia from a redirect into its own page do you know who I can ask to get it a content assessment rating? Pogenplain (talk) 22:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pogenplain: I have no problem with you tagging me to review your articles. Ratings tend to be made by persons who are experienced in quality assessing, something that I'm personally not, ut usually takes at most a couple of weeks for someone to come across a new article and rate it.★Trekker (talk) 15:09, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw this edit, and was curious as to the purpose. Using a space for sorting causes the article to be sorted at the top, but a plus causes it to be sorted under a plus—to no obvious advantage that I can see. However, knowing your usual meticulousness, I thought I'd better ask in case I was missing something. As a rule, I always use a space to have things sort at the top; but perhaps there's a reason for not doing so in this instance. P Aculeius (talk) 01:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@P Aculeius: I tend to use + for related articles which are not lists or the main topic. For example in the case of Category:Ancient Roman censors the Roman censor has a space because it's the main topic, and List of censors of the Roman Republic uses a * because it's a list, using the + makes the Fasti Capitolini get listed third as a related but not essential article for the subject. Other symbols can be used for this as well, for example a lot of people use the minus (-) symbol to categorize templates. It's not a hard rule and if you prefer to use a space you are free to change it back.★Trekker (talk) 03:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there StarTrekker, I was just wondering whether you might still consider working on the Antón Castillo draft that you have previously contributed to. I feel that Castillo is an important enough character to have his own character article.

I have attempted to contact the user GhostRiver about her helping to edit the article again, but I have not yet received a response. However, I see no harm in asking you to contribute to the article anyway.

Also, would it be a good idea to place a notification on the Video Games WikiProject to see if other editors could contribute to the article? (Oh, and by the way, thanks for the Thanks! I now feel as if I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.)

Kind regards, Lotsw73 (talk) 13:07, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 23 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article PHerc. Paris. 4, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that it took a particle accelerator and machine-learning algorithms to extract the charred text of PHerc. Paris. 4 without unrolling it? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/PHerc. Paris. 4. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, PHerc. Paris. 4), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello StarTrekker,

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.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
