The intended length of the study is two weeks, but your actual time commitment is totally up to you. If you would like to see more details you can read the project proposal at Research:Measuring editor time commitment and workflow (on meta), but if you are feeling bold and would like just like to sign up right now you can add the line importScript("User:Another_Article/workflowstudyclient.js");

DYK for Dysphania pusilla
On 2 October 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dysphania pusilla, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the pygmy goosefoot (pictured), a plant endemic to New Zealand that was thought to be extinct, was rediscovered in 2015? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dysphania pusilla. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Dysphania pusilla), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Festival de Cinema e Vídeo de Cuiabá
Hello Sam,
Is this page something that CSD A2. Foreign language articles that exist on another Wikimedia project should apply to? (See https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival_de_Cinema_e_V%C3%ADdeo_de_Cuiab%C3%A1). Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 22:33, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Eagleash. Sorry for the delay in response, but I have chosen to spend very little time online these days. I have moved the article to Cuiabá Film and Video Festival, translated the lead, added a {{cite book}} and {{IMDb event}}, and linked to the :pt article. Isn't that a better solution? Hope you are well. — Sam Sailor 22:35, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review needs your help
Hi Sam Sailor,
As an AfC reviewer you're probably aware that a new user right has been created for patrolling new pages (you might even have been granted the right already, and admins have it automatically).
Since July there has been a very serious backlog at Special:NewPagesFeed of over 14,000 pages, by far the worst since 2011, and we need an all out drive to get this back down to just a few hundred that can be easily maintained in the future. Unlike AfC, these pages are already in mainspace, and the thought of what might be there is quite scary. There are also many good faith article creators who need a simple, gentle push to the Tea House or their pages converted to Draft rather than being deleted.
Although
It is hoped that AfC reviewers will apply for this right at
