Carolyn PerrucciI am in the midst of a GOCE edit on the article Carolyn Perrucci (which is very good; a fascinating and accomplished woman). The final citation in the bibliography - Perrucci, Carolyn - has an incorrect link to the citation for Haas, Violet B. The correct link is https://archives.lib.purdue.edu/agents/people/3180. I've fooled around with it, but am unclear how to correct it in . Can you? Thanks. Cleveland Todd (talk) 15:28, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Bash7oven (talk) 07:24, 21 June 2022 (UTC) New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022Hello TJMSmith,
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: 15696 articles, as of 04:00, 29 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.

Helene LangevinI noticed that you updated Dr. Shannon Zenk's page. Any chance you have time to correct Dr. Helene Langevin's page? The first sentence incorrectly states that she is a professor at UVM. She is the director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The 4th sentence is also wrong. She is no longer a director at Osher.

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022Hello TJMSmith,
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.

I see that in fact you added the WiR user box back in October 2017 and have written hundreds of women's biographies since then, making you one of the most active contributors to our goals. I'm happy to see you are now an "official" member and look forward to many more biographies as well as to more contributions to our talk page. It goes without saying that I will always be ready to help if ever you run into any difficulties. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:44, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
