Hello Dcheagle,

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

I want to create an author page, how do I do that? the author has publications on Amazon.com as well was a Patron to several well known charities over the years. --Saltyvixen (talk) 14:25, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saltyvixen Sorry for the delayed reply, this link is a helpful guide to creating your first article. If you have any more questions feel free to ask me at any time. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 23:29, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saltyvixen See above. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 23:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hi :) thank you for replying. The problem with creating article, even with valid links - IMDB. : https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6738882/

Some of her books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Salty-Vixen/author/B083NSMCDY?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true

she has books at various places, been in AP news, helped out charities, and people on wikipedia tend to delete so I don't know how to set one up that will stay there. Perhaps you can help me? thanks! Saltyvixen (talk) 12:20, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saltyvixen Before we go any further I need to ask as your username and the amazon name are the same, are you ether the author in question or have some personal connection to the author in question. If so you have a Conflict of Interest. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 11:26, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i am a fan of the author. I am not the author and no connection to the author. Saltyvixen (talk) 16:27, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello- I'm going to start by reading the help articles. --Raymond P. Curran (talk) 17:48, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Raymond P. Curran Good place to start, if you have any questions feel free to ask me at anytime. Dcheagle • talk • contribs 22:05, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dcheagle

Thanks for your offer of help. I have just moved an article from my sandbox to production and one of the references (which I cite multiple times) shows an error message. It "published" perfectly in the sandbox but now has an error. Can you help? The article is Hugh Thompson(British Naval Officer). Sorry to bother you! Arethusa --ArethusaF38 (talk) 14:24, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that and fixed it. Basically, how it works is the first time you use <ref name="Times">{{cite news |title=Hugh Thompson Obituary |publisher=The Times |date=24 December 1996}}</ref> and for the ones after that you should use <ref name="Times"/>. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:19, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

what sources are reliable enough to be quoted? is say human rights watch trustworthy enough? and if I'm editing a niche topic and there isnt a famous or english source, can i cite relatively obscure news articles, or non-english sources? --Rebelknight274 (talk) 14:56, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Oklahoma State Cowboys football, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Receivers. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
