AfD supportFirst, thanks for your support. Second, if it is inappropriate for me to be commenting here, rather than at the AfD, please let me know, I just didn't want to clog up the AfD. Now, about your comment - just to let you know, EA's comment about the inherent notability came after my subsequent prod. In declining the A7 the comment was: "Declining speedy; not appropriate type of article for A7; references required". After which I prodded it, since it had no references. An ip then contested the prod with "cite a reliable source and contest deletion - "rail line" is an indication of notability". As this was occurring, EA and I had a brief discussion on my talk page, which can be found here. I hope that clears it up for you, and alleviates any concern you might have. Happy New Year.

Liste der namibischen Meister im SchachIch habe es mal veröffentlicht, da mit definitiven Mehrinformationen kaum mehr zu rechnen ist: de:Liste der namibischen Meister im Schach. :-) Mit bestem Gruß, --Gereon K. (talk) 17:12, 16 January 2017 (UTC) New Page Review - newsletter No.2
Hello Pgallert,
![]()
We now have 822 New Page Reviewers! ![]() The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Coordinator electionKudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself. Date for the actual suffrage will be published later. Discuss this newsletter here.

Thanks for writing your op-ed—it finally got me to write that article, which I planned to write for a long time :) --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:21, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Marlice van Vuuren nominated for deletionHi there, I nominated Marlice van Vuuren for speedy deletion. If you feel I am off base in this nomination, please let me know. To me, it looks like a page created primarily for promotional reasons.--TM 18:05, 11 February 2017 (UTC)

Another DYK nomHello again! Would you kindly nominate this new article for DYK: Two Hearts (Jackie Evancho album)?

Mifter (talk) 00:03, 30 March 2017 (UTC) Please support the Sustainability Initiative!![]() Hi, Pgallert! Please allow me to follow up on a project that was discussed at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin a couple of weeks ago: I am writing you to ask for your support for the Sustainability Initiative, which aims at reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. Over the past two years, more than 250 Wikipedians from all over the world have come together to push the Wikimedia movement towards greater sustainability. The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has recently passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Now, we are working with the Wikimedia Foundation staff to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019. In order to demonstrate that this is an issue that the community really cares about, I would like to ask you to sign the project page as well. Thank you! --Gnom (talk) 15:52, 14 April 2017 (UTC) DYK for Winter time (Namibia)On 25 April 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Winter time (Namibia), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Namibia is considering abolishing winter time? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Winter time (Namibia). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Winter time (Namibia)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. 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.

EditathonHi Peter. Have you organised an editathon or are you teaching a class to use Wikipedia today? There is a whole slew of very similar bios arrived at en.Wiki around 13:00 UTC from different user names. Please let me know. Perhaps they should be moved to draft.

Category Unfair dismissal in Namibia.Hi Pgallert,
DYK Nom?Hello, Pgallert. I hope you had a very nice summer. Would you mind nominating Just the Beginning (Grace VanderWaal album) for DYK? The hook could be something like: "...that America's Got Talent winner Grace VanderWaal, now 13 years old, announced the release date of her first full-length album, Just the Beginning, composed of her original songs." -- Ssilvers (talk) 05:52, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
Another nom?Is it too late to nominate Liza Koshy? This article was deleted months ago, and was revived last week by Milowent and me. Then another editor tried to delete it (first by speedy delete and then by AfD). Anyhow, it robustly survived the deletion attempt yesterday, and it's about a very important young actress and social media star. Here's a suggested hook: "... that, up to August 2017, actress Liza Koshy was the fastest YouTuber to reach 10 million subscribers." (See footnote 10). -- Ssilvers (talk) 17:05, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

I am checking with Ivo Kruusamägi from Wikimedia Estonia the composition of the final jury. We did our best to keep it balanced by continent, gender, field etc but in the end it is still a little bit eurocentric. I mean, it is good they are not all from Estonia and Italy, but of course it could have been better. Finding 15 names (and other one for more national juries) to help was not easy... I did gather some "maybes" from China and India in private that might be used next time, including people in national juries that we can promote but so far I could only reduce the gender unbalance. I hope that the results will promote science around the globe in any case. As a last appropriate effort now that more urgent issues have been addressed and we are finalizing the main organization, I am looking all the profiles of active wikimedians from Africa, Oceania or Asia with a public name and surname (jurors should be transparent) and a scientific or technological position. Would you be interested in joining us to be a juror in the second-level jury? I am sure that next time we will find new additional contacts and I will find your name not at the last minute. Of course, if we can finally get two or three new names, we can promote one of them in the final jury too. Even you don't have time, could you help us also in promoting the event? This is also necessary to have more national jury next time. Thank you in advance.--Alexmar983 (talk) 09:29, 15 October 2017 (UTC) Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale! Crime in NamibiaHi for Namibian homicide statistics I used the UN data from 2014: https://www.unodc.org/documents/gsh/pdfs/2014_GLOBAL_HOMICIDE_BOOK_web.pdf It seems to me that the article could have a bit more stuff added to it though? Like Namibia is a transit route from/to South Africa, there's probably loads more things we could add to make it a good article, what do you think?
