Hi, we just had an edit conflict. I also came by to promote the hook but thought it was too promotional. I reopened the nomination and suggested an ALT. If you need another hook to fill in a blank, I'll provide it. Best, Yoninah (talk) 01:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prep 4: Balloon pilot[edit]

Hi, the nominator's preference was for ALT1 (which is indeed hookier):

... that Eleanor Vadala (pictured), the third woman in the US to receive FAA certification as a balloon pilot, not only flew balloons but also studied them, repaired them and drove chase cars after them? Yoninah (talk) 01:21, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That was the hook I meant to promote; I've now changed it. Note that the nominator did not actually express a preference for a hook, if you read the conversation. For future reference, you don't need my permission to make changes such as these. 97198 (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. I recently got slapped on the hand for changing someone else's edit, so that's why I mentioned it. Yoninah (talk) 02:51, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, feel free to come along after me and make any improvements you see fit. 97198 (talk) 04:51, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DBigXray: Can I ask why you decided to "invite" me to this discussion? I have never edited the article and I have never displayed any interest in Indian political biographies. I am very curious. 97198 (talk) 03:12, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
97198, one of the editors at Afd wants the DYK participants of this article invited. So i complied instead of arguing. You can ignore the message. If you want. Regards. ⋙–DBigXray 04:21, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 97198, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

NPP[edit]

Hi 97198. I am currently working off a list of editors active at AfC who also have autopatrol as possible NPP additions. Anyway I can get you to give NPP a second chance? One of the reasons I'm doing this is off a NPP discussion about how it can sometimes be useful for AfC to mark as unreviewed new articles so they get second opinions. Let me know if you might be interested in giving it another go. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 01:47, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Barkeep49, thanks for the note. I found NPP very confusing on my first foray and unfortunately I'm very pretty off-wiki at the moment so don't have a lot of time to dedicate to a second attempt at learning NPP. 97198 (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2020 (UTC) Resending botched ping. 97198 (talk) 11:03, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AFC Helper News[edit]

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

  • AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
  • The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.
