Rusalkii (talk) 18:43, 5 January 2022 (UTC)DYK for Gloria Lizárraga de CaprilesOn 13 January 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gloria Lizárraga de Capriles, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that when elected as mayor, Venezuelan politician Gloria Lizárraga de Capriles did not have her own office and worked from a shopping mall?

If you want to keep improving and renewing it, how about the Venezuela WikiProject holds a formal RfC every month or so, asking if sources on the list should be moved/removed/new ones added, and doing a sweep of Wikipedia to see if there are any instances of problem sourcing?

Bkissin (talk) 23:30, 21 February 2022 (UTC)QuestionHello, I have seen that you added information about how the international community specifically in Latin American countries has reacted to the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, could you add the reaction of the governments of African countries to the crisis? At the moment, there is only the Kenyan response in the article. I thought it would be a good idea to add the response from South Africa, as both this country and Russia belong to the BRICS, the BBC published a news about how African countries are reacting to the crisis. It would also be appropriate to place in the Civil Society section, the reaction of Syrians, Al Jazeera published an article about it. I ask you to add them, because the subject is very polemic at the moment, I really do not know much about the subject and I am not an expert in political affairs, and I would like someone who has experience with articles on bilateral relations to add this information.--Seb { 💬 Talk + 📝 Edits } 01:31, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 16:37, 27 February 2022 (UTC) via MassMessaging Algunas regalosI noticed you made a number of Women in Red articles, and thought I could help by illustrating some. (I do that occasionally.) Hope you like. Also, of course, because no gift comes without strings attached , could you please check that these are the right people? I think they are, but I only did a brief glance over the sources in each case and my Spanish isn't the best, and it would be embarrassing if instead of the article subject I ended up adding a picture of a different person with the same name or otherwise. (Is "en" the right way to say "person on television program"?) --GRuban (talk) 16:40, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
@GRuban: Many thanks! Spanish has many rules for diacritical accents, so I really appreciate the effort; even native speakers forget or use them incorrectly from time to time. They depend on which syllable is emphasized in the word: palabras agudas (emphasis in the last syllable), graves (in the second last one) and esdrújulas (in the antepenultimate syllable). The general rules are that agudas words have an accent in the emphasized syllable if they end in a vowel, an "n" or an "s" and graves words if they don't, while esdrújulas words always have accents. Hoping it isn't too confusing, I can illustrate with some examples with last names: "Rondón" and "Cortés" are agudas (having an accent in the last syllable, as well as some words ending in "-ión"), and "González" and "Martínez" are graves (it's also common to have an accent in the second last syllable of words ending in "-ez"). As a fun fact, to drive the point further, "esdrújula" is a esdrújula word, having the accent in the third syllable always. I naturally don't expect you to know all of the cases by heart. Sometimes the only way to know which type of word is which is be listening to its pronunciation, and naturally there will be some exceptions, and in the case of Hispanics migrants accents are even sometimes omitted. However, I hope they can offer more insight in case you have any doubt :) You can also consult this link to look a little further into the rules, if you wish so (Reglas de acentuación del castellano). As usual, don't be afraid to ask if you have any doubt regarding this. Happy editing! --NoonIcarus (talk) 23:11, 6 March 2022 (UTC) April Editathons from Women in Red

Whiteguru (talk) 22:29, 7 May 2022 (UTC) New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022Hello NoonIcarus, At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue. Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant. In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 812 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 848 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP. This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear. If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May. Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b] In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month). While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 15612 articles, as of 04:00, 28 December 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022Hello NoonIcarus,
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details. Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.

We would love to see you over at the backlog drive! Buidhe 10:49, 4 October 2022 (UTC) New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022Hello NoonIcarus, Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section. Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also. Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved. Suggestions:
Backlog: Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
Early end of the backlog driveA few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours. Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three. Great work everyone!

Afterwards, you could document the valid and invalid entries in the talk page to inform future editors. Side question: how does one prevent a pinned talk page post from being archived? --Minoa (talk) 13:49, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Armenia–Kosovo relations
A tag has been placed on Armenia–Kosovo relations requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armenia–Kosovo relations. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. czar 19:18, 26 December 2022 (UTC) Women in Red January 2023
