4As

edit

Hey! Thanks for taking care of those 4A nominations. For what it's worth, per the FAQ on the talk page, it's explicitly acceptable to 4A an article that's split from another. It's generally assumed that the process of splitting and rescoping will generally produce enough "new content" that it's not worth worrying about. I ought to update the instructions to reflect the FAQ though. ♠PMC(talk) 04:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Premeditated Chaos Awesome, thank you for the heads-up. I figured it was probably fine but, as a relatively new reviewer, I didn't want to award it if I wasn't 100% certain. Appreciate your help. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:05, 1 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you today for Annie Dove Denmark. introduced: "This is my third FAC on a college president, though this time I'm moving away from Centre College to South Carolina's Anderson University and its fifth president, Annie Dove Denmark. The first woman to be president of a South Carolina college or university (except actually not; click the link to learn more!), she transformed Anderson from a four-year women's college to a two-year co-ed junior college and worked to bring the school's large sum of debt (over a million dollars in today's money) down to zero in around eight years. She created Anderson's "Founders Day" to mark the date of her inauguration, and the school still celebrates the holiday to this day. She resigned in 1953 and her 25-year presidency still stands as the longest in Anderson's history."! - On the same page Helga Paris and Seiji Ozawa, - my stories. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

edit

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.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

edit

Hello PCN02WPS,

 
New Page Review queue January to March 2024

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:

Adminship

edit

Hey PCN02WPS! You may remember me from my GA nomination a couple months back. I've enjoyed reading your GA's and FA's, and I was wondering if you would consider running for adminship. My interaction with you was one of the friendliest encounters I've ever had with another editor, and your accomplishments are very impressive. I'm convinced that you would be an amazing admin. If you're interested, I would be happy to write a nomination statement for you. 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 02:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@FatCat96 Hi! First of all, thank you for your kind words - I am flattered to say the least. Adminship is not something I've ever seriously considered but I am not categorically opposed to it, though I fear that I would come up a little short as far as experience behind-the-scenes goes at this point in time. I have put a lot of emphasis on content creation (and within the last few years have shifted my emphasis from quantity to quality) as it's what I enjoy doing most, meaning my participation in more gnome-y type, inward-facing stuff has been lacking in comparison, and from what I've seen browsing RfAs that seems to be an issue from time to time. I think I will message some admins and ask their opinions as to which areas could use improvement on my end in preparation for a potential RfA sometime in the future (if you have any such suggestions, they would also be greatly appreciated). If I end up deciding to run, it probably won't be for a few months since I'd like to actually gain some experience and competence in areas in which I'm currently lacking as opposed to just going through the motions - in any event, if I decide to pull the trigger I will let you know. Again, thank you for reaching out - your words really do mean a lot to me. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
DYK needs more admins for promoting prep sets to queue. The queues are often getting short and sometimes are empty. Say if you want to know more about what is needed. Schwede66 18:53, 20 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on 2020 Old Dominion Monarchs football team requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Wikipedia talk:Good article review circles

Regarding the article I was assigned to review here, I have already gone through the article I'm sorry to tell you that it's out of my expertise as I'm more into media entertainment and music (you can throw in some biographies here and there) but this way too difficult for me. I'm so sorry. dxneo (talk) 20:16, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "After surprising many by simply being competitive the year prior, the football team from tiny Centre College returned to Boston for a rematch with football giants Harvard in October 1921. Led by star quarterback Bo McMillin, the "Praying Colonels" shocked the sports world by winning 6–0, a victory considered by many to be one of the greatest in college football history. After the game, a Centre professor remarked that Harvard had been poisoned by the organic compound "C6H0", giving the game a name that has stuck to this day. This article was super fun to rewrite and I look forward to any and all comments it receives."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:16, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Second opinion

edit

Hello, sorry for not doing this on the project's talk, but I believe it can be moved later if need may be. I use WP:GARC for quicker reviews as we all know articles spend months at GAC. However, I think GARC can introduce a new "thing" for articles placed on hold for second opinion because it kind of defeats the whole point of quick reviews as second option sends the article back GAC where it will likely take weeks or months for another reviewer to re-review it. Just a thought, I'll be on the lookout for your response   Thank you. dxneo (talk) 02:45, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Dxneo, thanks for your message. I'm not sure I understand - have there been GARC articles placed on hold for a second opinion? I wasn't aware this was a problem. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:40, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, yes. An article I nominated is placed on hold for second opinion. I was just raising this concern just in case other editors stumble across the same problem. Second opinion is part of the reviewal process, but in my opinion it really defeats the whole point of GARC (quick reviews). I was wondering what if a thing or section for second opinions was implemented? Wouldn't that work? dxneo (talk) 19:13, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Dxneo That review is not under the umbrella of GARC - that circle failed and was archived, and you and Chchcheckit mutually agreed to review each other's articles because the circle didn't work. Unfortunately there's not much I can do from a GARC perspective about that specifically. I'm not sure what you mean about implementing a "thing" for second opinion reviews, and in any case I'm not sure such an idea would be necessary at this point in time since GARC is still a fairly small operation and second-opinion reviews are such a small proportion of GA review outcomes anyway.
