Thank you for improving articles in January! I remember Ewa Podleś on the Main page, and had - believe it or not - two musical DYK today. Shalom chaverim. On vacation, with something for your sweet tooth -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
Today: the performance of Anna Nekhames --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:53, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
- Shalom, Gerda, and thank you for sharing the stories with me! And yes, I think that's definitely a piece of music that needs more recognition, especially in light of recent events. Congratulations on the double DYK too :-) Patient Zerotalk 23:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

De Gea
Hi there I do believe that based on what David de Gea has done in his career he should be regarded as one of the greatest ever. He was the first ever premier league goalkeeper to reach the FIFA world 11 despite playing for an underperforming team. He has won many individual awards and showcased his reflexes. 31.205.222.109 (talk) 00:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for reverting vandalism in February. - The image, taken on a cemetery last year after the funeral of a distant but dear family member, commemorates today, with thanks for their achievements, four subjects mentioned on the Main page and Vami_IV, a friend here. Listen to music by Tchaikovsky (an article where one of the four is pictured), sung by today's subject (whose performance on stage I enjoyed two days ago). -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:46, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
- I am so sorry to hear of your loss, Gerda, as well as the loss of Vami. :-( What a beautiful performance, too; thank you for sharing it with me. I do hope you are keeping well? All the very best, Patient Zerotalk 23:54, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, and keeping well is easier with such encouragement! - More music and flowers on Rossini's rare birthday --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:39, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Update on personal issues
My dog suddenly passed away in the early hours of this morning. I had been expecting this for a while, however the circumstances meant that it was still sudden and shocking and I did not get to say goodbye. I am incredibly upset at this and anticipate I will not be on Wikipedia whilst I am processing the loss; I want to make sure I am at my best whilst editing and contributing here and will come back when I am certain this will be the case.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello Patient Zero,
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.
