Thanks for the thanks... I had a look around at likely topics and found Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/French speaking African authors, then when I went to the letter "R" I found that the first woman listed, with 2 red links was already in en.wiki! So I created two new redirects for her, from Ntyugwetondo Angèle Rawiri and Rawiri, Ntyugwetondo Angèle (supported by the source used in that list). So instead of a contribution to Francophone fortnight, perhaps I should list her in WP:WIR-301! I've got my eye on another couple of possibilities, French-writing women with "R" names. I'll just do one of them, to show willing. PamD 22:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PamD: I will resist the urge to thank you for thanking me for... (etc) :) that redlist is a great find, I'll add it to the event page. Thanks so much for your contributions and putting the work in! Chocmilk03 (talk) 23:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On 16 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Potiki, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Patricia Grace did not intend for her novel Potiki, about the impact of land development on an indigenous community, to be seen as political? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Potiki. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Potiki), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello Chocmilk03,

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.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hi Chocmilk03, I just created this Wikidata item for Ben Schrader a housing historian and writer on Wellington as well as New Zealand history. I think he is notable for the purposes of Wikipedia as books he has written have won awards and his social historian work is significant and has also resulted in him being given awards including the JD Stout fellowship. Given your extensive experience of writing Wikipedia articles for New Zealand writers I just thought I'd put him on your radar as a potential candidate for a Wikipedia article.

Thanks @Ambrosia10, I've added him to my list. :) Hope all is well with you! Chocmilk03 (talk) 08:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Chocmilk03, I really appreciate that. We've managed to get a photo of Ben onto Wikicommons as well. I'm doing great atm, although extremely busy! Lots and lots of projects but I'm enjoying myself. Hope you are well and happy too! Ambrosia10 (talk) 18:15, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
