Hallo, Thank you for creating Hey You (2022 film). When you create an article like this with a "disambiguated" title, please make sure that the reader can find it from the basic name (ie Hey You), by adding or expanding a hatnote, or adding the article to a disambiguation page. This helps the reader to find the new article, and also reduces the chance of a future careless editor creating a duplicate article with a slightly different disambiguator. I've fixed this one. Thanks, and Happy Editing. PamD 19:14, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mohamed Thameur Chaibi moved to draftspace and others

Hi, I have moved couple of articles to the draft space before it gets deleted + they are not yet suitable as written to remain published. I would recommend adding more to the articles which can be easily found online. These articles can also use some proofreading before being published. I understand your ambition but I really think these scientists deserve better coverage/article and it is better to spend time on making an article good in the draft space before rushing to the mainspace. I will come back to help improving these articles before re-publish them.

list of the articles that I have moved:

Mohamed Thameur Chaibi (copy edited the text, kept well referenced informations, add more about his research and education, and fix the infobox you should use scientist infobox and not academic infobox as you need to describe the field + you like to use the word member when these are fellows)
Driss Bensari (similar to Mohamed Thameur Chaibi. one useful trick, go for source edit, copy everything to a word document and then run Grammarly or word review for basic copy editing.)
Ramjugernath Deresh (added more references, when you start and article as a DRAFT, wikipedia suggests sources. that is why I suggested you should start with a draft before jumping to main space. I see you did not do that for your recent two articles although I, and many other editors, recommended doing that. Please consider taking this advise. AAS is a good source but you sometime miss different aspect of the person work when your story is narrated/derived from one source)
Mohamed T. El-Ashry (+ added a section called see also, it will give a chance to link articles together so they will not be orphan, I will also look to these scientists' organisation to link them)
Aster Gebrekirstos, minor edits mostly in line referencing and copy editing.
Yehia Bahei El-Din (mainly copy editing + citation, I removed the mention of NASA award as I did not find any NASA related website that confrims this beyond what is written on AAS website)
Ashraf Mansour (expaned the article but one questions that bugs me is why did you make this article to start with)
Gombe Samson (his name is the other way around, the date of birth was wrong and referenced to a site that does mentioned anything about his death, you tend to group reference which once checked one by one you will find only one actually give a reliable reference, It will be better if you can stick to referencing each information separately if you can, so it can be easily corrected)
Farida Fassi Added more references and more sections (+ fixed broken references, added a note, change the infox to scientist include the field, copy editing to use her last and remove mention of professor, for full details see here)
Djeffal Fayçal
Bunmi Adelugba
Cyrill Nunn (wrong infox is being used, need alot of copy editing + a free picture can be found + the references does not include many that go into depth about his education, work and personal life)

PS: as I am not familiar with politics, so I restricted myself to science as I know well that these scientist biographies can be assembled from reliable sources online. These are champions of science in their countries and Africa, at least they deserve a good WP. Yours FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:23, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I hope you will not forget them in the draft. I will also try to improve them. Bunmi Adelugba is not an academic, she is a politician and a public office holder. The article should be stubbed rather than moved to draft Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:07, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, most of the articles drafted have been reviewed by four or five different reviewers. Drafting them will only give two of us the chance to incubate them but stubbing them can give many editors the chance to add more to the articles. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 we are on this together brother. And I might disagree with you 2nd assumption especially because that why we are building these articles because no one ever thought about doing that .. but time will prove one of us wrong .. FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:26, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FuzzyMagmaYes brother! Most of these scientists have been forgotten and I hope that more hands like us will assist. So what is the conclusion now? Allowing them to be stubbed or leave them in draft. Seriously, even some of the administrator that I feared most have reviewed the articles. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:36, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 give me a week on the draft space and then let’s submit them for review (not moving them directly back), just to get a 2nd opinion on how to improve them FuzzyMagma (talk) 11:45, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FuzzyMagma It is a good idea brother. Thank you for your time. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:55, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Hi I have done two and described above what I have done, please check them and have a go at Bunmi Adelugba and Ramjugernath Deresh and I can have a look when you are done before we sumbit for review. FuzzyMagma (talk) 21:34, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked them and I have gotten the logic. I will also try it tomorrow. It's already late here FuzzyMagma Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:47, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Also, thank you FuzzyMagma Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:48, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

FuzzyMagma using Grammarly on mobile phone is a little bit frustrating. Ibjaja055 (talk) 22:39, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 no worries. I can do that for you. Let me know when you want me to proofread and copy edit FuzzyMagma (talk) 23:02, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the barnstar and I really enjoyed reading your new article, Abdellatif Berbich FuzzyMagma (talk) 10:30, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are highly welcome @FuzzyMagma Ibjaja055 (talk) 10:37, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your efforts on the articles. I am still trying to find my way around starting with the draft. I am learning a lot from your edits. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:28, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What I do most of the times is to create the draft in my phone notebook before creating the article. For every I create I have the draft in my phone. there are some information that I never thought are essential but looking at your edits, I realized I have been missing vital information. Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:35, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks brother, it’s a learning process to be honest. And I really admire your passion. To start with a draft article, you can make a to do list in your talk and then use [[ followed by Draft:TheTopic and then close the prac, e.g.,Draft:Sudanese National Academy of Sciences FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:19, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FuzzyMagma Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:37, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good .. will benefit from copy editing which I will do tomorrow in grammaly + creating an info box. But content wise this have more ‘meat’. Btw I looked to the articles that you have created - which is alot! - but 1/3 of them is un-assessed, sup and start. You have 1 C article. I’d recommend trying to at least upgrade 50% to start and 25% to C.

last thing, I saw the delete notification on your pictures which something I expected, I would recommend chatting with person who flagged them to see what you can learn from that mistake. There is the option of non-free image upload but that also applies to specific situations/images

all and all .. love your dedication bro .. FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:49, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot to mention, @Ibjaja055 can we try to finish the articles on this list by this week so you can go back to your routine of daily article creation FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:52, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I will work on them this week In Shaa Allah. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:04, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FuzzyMagma I have worked on this Farida Fassi Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:14, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I will chat him up. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:03, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@FuzzyMagma Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:05, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I went through Draft:Aster Gebrekirstos, It is really good work. I have done some inline citation (for FAAS and FTWAS). My inclination is to cite whenever the information can be sourced to a one reliable reference, and group references when the sources are not very reliable but more than one is saying the same information. But overall, you are making strides my friend. Amazing work FuzzyMagma (talk) 10:00, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will stick to that, thank you. @FuzzyMagma Ibjaja055 (talk) 16:49, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 can you please have a go at fixing Ashraf Mansour's article. A quick warning, there is alot of information about him in the internet and everyone will appreciate if his package act as a summary of all of the reliable information about him available online. Good luck. I will come and review it once you are done and add more from the Arabic sources. He is a well known name and done alot scientifically and politically so make sure that is reflected in his WP. FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to but most of the references am seeing are linking him with GUC. I barely see good reference that talks about him. Ibjaja055 (talk) 15:36, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 ok no worries. I will take care of this page then.

do you fancy editing Cyrill? FuzzyMagma (talk) 15:38, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 I have finished my part. That was a good collab. the major thing that I have learned is that AAS and TWAS are not reliable sources. They copy and paste things without checking. FuzzyMagma (talk) 16:29, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the collaboration. I really learnt alot. Now, I have 7C articles. Thank to you Ibjaja055 (talk) 16:59, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 can I get your help on this deletion review FuzzyMagma (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is it that the category was deleted or the article was deleted? Ibjaja055 (talk) 11:07, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 the category. Some admins previously discussed deleting sub-categories of Order of merits that relates to African nations and decided to delete them and give each nation one category. While UK have almost 32. I discovered this and re-initiated the discussion pointing holes into their arguments but "Abundance overcome courage" FuzzyMagma (talk) 12:36, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Ibjaja055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk) 13:51, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion contested: Happy Palace Group of Schools

Hello Ibjaja055. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Happy Palace Group of Schools, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: There is sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Thank you. BangJan1999 22:32, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your observation. The article has been deleted three times check [1]. Also, Wikiwriterforal has submitted it to AFC up to four times and it has been rejected for NPOV. Lastly, not only that the article failed WP: GNG it also has a very low reliable media coverage.

New pages patrol newsletter

Hello Ibjaja055,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

@XERI MUSIC Thank you for reaching out to me. Also, I am impressed that's you want to add more to the world; f creativity. Kindly read through this [[2]] to know more about the Notability of music on Wikipedia. Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@XERI MUSIC Also, I discovered that in the article that I rejected, you didn't make use of headings. I will make use of them using the draft as case study. Pls check and be making use of it in your subsequent submissions Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How you dey?

Ibjaja, how far nah. E don tey wey speak. On a side note, did you know that fellows of the Nigerian Academy of Science are notable? Best, Reading Beans (talk) 20:49, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading Beans Am good o. I just dey gentle o. Yes, I have had some issues with them but the consensus is that the fellows are notable. The fellows are elected based on the contributions of scientists in Africa. It is also part of the Notability guideline of WP: Academic but it shouldn't be the only source, there should be other sources too that can confirm his/her scholarly contributions. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but, how can someone be elected a fellow without having sources that can help them establish Wikipedia notability? *Wink* Reading Beans (talk) 21:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading BeansAt times, it can happen. What I discovered over the time of creating articles around them is that they preferred featuring in peer reviewing journals rather than news coverages. smiles.. My conclusion on that is that maybe because journals further elevates their status in the realm of academics. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:17, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It’s fine sha. Jisike. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin

Hello Ibjaja055,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Warhammer: Age of Sigmar - Realms of Ruin to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

@Illusion Flame Thank you for reaching out to me. I recently moved the article to draft before I discovered the rest of the drafts and disambiguation. I should have tagged it for speedy delete instead of moving to draft. Ibjaja055 (talk) 22:50, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, what you did was appropriate! All I did was tag the redirect you left behind. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 23:02, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Your Favourite London Sounds

Hello. May I ask why you added the notability tag to Your Favourite London Sounds? I accept the subject is quite niche but I believe it passes the notability criteria of WikiProject Albums. It uses fifteen secondary sources; most are direct coverage of the release, including reviews and analysis from The Guardian, Los Angeles Times and NPR. There is also material from The Chicago Tribune and The Wire. I believe the article demonstrates notable coverage. --TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 23:29, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TangoTizerWolfstone Thank you for the clarification. However, majority of the references are not accessible either they are subscription based or google books. You have two The Guardian sources and one can be considered as a reference because the other was not talking about the subject. I think we should give a chance for another reviewer to review it. Thank you Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:56, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I feel, per WP:PAYWALL, that the newspaper.com sources are fine. Ditto the Google books. I may take this to WikiProject Albums for further opinion. Thank you. TangoTizerWolfstone (talk) 04:18, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TangoTizerWolfstone You are highly welcome. Ibjaja055 (talk) 06:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Ibjaja055:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1400 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Ibjaja055. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:57, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ibjaja055,

Please remember to sign all comments, not only on Talk pages but also on Project pages like AFD deletion discussions. Otherwise, editors have to look at the page history to see who posted a comment. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:58, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Spread the cheer by adding {{subst:Happy holidays}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Adding template

Hello Ibjaja055, just want to let you know that when adding templates, there's no need of adding the Template: prefix if you're using the curly brackets ({{}}), for example, just do {{WAP}} and NOT {{Template:WAP}}. Many thanks :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:23, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed Talk:Olugbemiro Jegede, Talk:Sunday Iyahen‎ and Talk:Peter Okebukola. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:26, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces Thank you very much for the correction. I am still trying to find my ways around templates. It took me several hours to be able to even create one. LOL. Thank you once again Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:30, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Hehe, please tell me how I can help, are you trying to add that template to all the articles created at WikiProject AfroDemics?

Also, I have few observations, instead of adding the Wiki Afrodemics Project Articles to the main articles as you did here, we could just add the category inside this Template:WAP so that whenever the template {{WAP}} is added to the talk page of any of the articles, the category is automatically populated with the talk pages of the articles, instead of the main pages. What do you think? Because it doesn't appear to make sense to add the main pages unless you want to make the category a hidden one.

Can you do that? I could help if you want. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces That's a little bit technical for me. I would really appreciate if you can help me and teach me later. Thank you very nuch Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:42, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanderwaalforces Yes, I am trying to add the templates to all the articles. Ibjaja055 (talk) 12:43, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 Okay, please hold on and do not add the category to articles for now so that you don't have to undo many edits. I will make some edits to the template and the category will be populated by the article's talk pages it was added to. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:48, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ibjaja055 I guess I didn't spoil things. You can now go ahead and add the template to the talk pages and don't bother to add the category to the articles directly. I will also assist in adding the category to the articles. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:54, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@VanderwaalforcesThank you very much. The magic is working perfectly. Ibjaja055 (talk) 13:00, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter

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:

Generalissima (submissions), who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
Vami_IV (submissions), who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
AirshipJungleman29 (submissions), who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews

Skyshifter (submissions), who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

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. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024

Hello Ibjaja055,

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:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Editing a page for Nenad Vorih

Hello :) Its me. I gathered a couple more sources from the local library. I believe that there is more than enough to edit and resubmit the page. I am simply putting forth the the same question about the nature of your rejection so i can make necessary changes. Was it any particular source that you took issue with in terms of credibility ...maybe the playboy articles? I almost didn't include them but they were actually very insightful and well written so I figured who am I to judge? I have found two more from visual art centric magazines so I dont need to include them anyway. Also before I do the edit I wanted to check in about the notability issue that you raised in your comment to the other editors notes. I was under the impression that seven sources would be more than enough to pass notability requirements. Please explain or provide additional details regarding how i can address that objection. the guy is a famous painter. i didnt even include all of the online articles that could be referenced as most say the same things. Thanks again for all of your help :) I very much appreciate your assistance. MorriconeEnnio (talk) 09:05, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Jonathan Clement Abalos

Thank you for taking the time to review my draft, but I don't see any reason to reject it, and the person does not fail WP:NPOL. As a reviewer myself (in my main account), I know you probably rejected it for the three-or-so sources, but the subject passes WP:NPOL as a Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. The subject passes the 'legislative body' rule because of being part of the 19th Congress of the Philippines, therefore becoming a member of a national legislative body surpassing the guidelines. I renominated the nomination. Thanks, Jettward (talk) 01:22, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning users multiple times for the same thing

Hi there, I was just looking at a case of unattributed translation and found that you'd dropped a couple of warnings on the editor's talk page about it - but the messages immediately above yours were also about adding unattributed translations, and the unattributed edit in question was made several years ago. Warning someone like that has no benefits, and might just annoy them, so please do check first. -- asilvering (talk) 22:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Asilveringcan you help me with the username. I tried as much as possible to warn editors only once. A couple of warnings might have been from the tools that I am using or maybe an oversight from me. Also, I will also try to check their talk page if they have been warned before. I understand that it can be very annoying when the same warnings are coming in from an old edits.

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Ibjaja055, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 01:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Just Step Sideways thank you very much for this user right. I promise not to abuse it. Ibjaja055 (talk) 18:13, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm suggesting that you restructure the project page and the template to resemble other WikiProjects. Please review Wikipedia:Categorization#Non-article_and_maintenance_categories, WikiProject FAQ, and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Guide/WikiProject. For example, look at how Category:Science and academia work group articles is templated and organized, compared to Category:The AfroDemics Project articles, as well as how your template Template:WAP, isn't documented. ^SMason_Garrison 22:11, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request of Retaining the article you marked for deletion Grema Sulaiman

@Ibjaja055: Hello there!, please kindly understand that the article is currently undergoing editing and changes. As for notability, all valuable references pointing to the subject's notablity are herein attached and the person in subject is a high ranking individual in Nigeria. I made sure i was brief and concise with neutral writing point while writing about the subject. In response to your comment of "being a director general of an organization that is not notable", I request you to read about the organization properly. It is a recognized organization by the Public Investment Fund and other large Nigerian entities like the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources. please kindly don't flag articles you don't specialize in and leave them to be moderated by nigerian editors. i have read countless nigeria articles where some organizations are not even notable, yet they pass the criteria of notability. i believe there should be no bias. ~~ Gonisulaimann (talk) 11:34, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD.

Hello, the philosopher is member of the Accademia dei Lincei, which is " one of the oldest and most prestigious European scientific institutions", so this should meet criteria 3 in [[Wikipedia:Notability (academics)#Specific criteria notes]]. Is it enough?
