4As[edit]

Hey! Thanks for taking care of those 4A nominations. For what it's worth, per the FAQ on the talk page, it's explicitly acceptable to 4A an article that's split from another. It's generally assumed that the process of splitting and rescoping will generally produce enough "new content" that it's not worth worrying about. I ought to update the instructions to reflect the FAQ though. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 04:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Premeditated Chaos Awesome, thank you for the heads-up. I figured it was probably fine but, as a relatively new reviewer, I didn't want to award it if I wasn't 100% certain. Appreciate your help. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 17:05, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TFA[edit]

story · music · places

Thank you today for Annie Dove Denmark. introduced: "This is my third FAC on a college president, though this time I'm moving away from Centre College to South Carolina's Anderson University and its fifth president, Annie Dove Denmark. The first woman to be president of a South Carolina college or university (except actually not; click the link to learn more!), she transformed Anderson from a four-year women's college to a two-year co-ed junior college and worked to bring the school's large sum of debt (over a million dollars in today's money) down to zero in around eight years. She created Anderson's "Founders Day" to mark the date of her inauguration, and the school still celebrates the holiday to this day. She resigned in 1953 and her 25-year presidency still stands as the longest in Anderson's history."! - On the same page Helga Paris and Seiji Ozawa, - my stories. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:24, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter[edit]

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:

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.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]

Hello PCN02WPS,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

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:

Pan Am Flight 214[edit]

Hello, PCN02WPS. I've just nominated Pan Am Flight 214 as a Featured Article candidate. Since you were so helpful with your featured article nominations of Paradise Airlines Flight 901A last year, would you have any interest in taking a look at this one? Any feedback you could provide would be greatly appreciated. RecycledPixels (talk) 20:21, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship[edit]

Hey PCN02WPS! You may remember me from my GA nomination a couple months back. I've enjoyed reading your GA's and FA's, and I was wondering if you would consider running for adminship. My interaction with you was one of the friendliest encounters I've ever had with another editor, and your accomplishments are very impressive. I'm convinced that you would be an amazing admin. If you're interested, I would be happy to write a nomination statement for you. 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 02:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FatCat96 Hi! First of all, thank you for your kind words - I am flattered to say the least. Adminship is not something I've ever seriously considered but I am not categorically opposed to it, though I fear that I would come up a little short as far as experience behind-the-scenes goes at this point in time. I have put a lot of emphasis on content creation (and within the last few years have shifted my emphasis from quantity to quality) as it's what I enjoy doing most, meaning my participation in more gnome-y type, inward-facing stuff has been lacking in comparison, and from what I've seen browsing RfAs that seems to be an issue from time to time. I think I will message some admins and ask their opinions as to which areas could use improvement on my end in preparation for a potential RfA sometime in the future (if you have any such suggestions, they would also be greatly appreciated). If I end up deciding to run, it probably won't be for a few months since I'd like to actually gain some experience and competence in areas in which I'm currently lacking as opposed to just going through the motions - in any event, if I decide to pull the trigger I will let you know. Again, thank you for reaching out - your words really do mean a lot to me. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
