Netherzone Thank you for your comments for this and Alexa Beiser! -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:12, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pleasure to review your articles, they are always so well crafted! Netherzone (talk) 22:21, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind words! After this month and the NPP backlog drive I hope to create some more articles, though now I'm autopatrolled it's a bit less work for others to review. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:51, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Kj cheetham, I refer to the External links tag on the Teresa Rojas Rabiela article. I have reduced the external links from 5 to 3 ¿Do you think is possible to remove the tag? If it is, please I ask you to remove it. Thanks in advance. Eduardo Ruiz Mondragón (talk) 23:24, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eduardo Ruiz Mondragón, thank you for the edit, though the issue was more to do with external links in the main body of the article. But I've just removed the links to other websites, and fixed the interlanguage links, and removed the tag. Hope that helps. -Kj cheetham (talk) 10:53, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for your help Kj cheetham! Eduardo Ruiz Mondragón (talk) 14:17, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On 12 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Natalie Portman, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Natalie Portman was a co-author on a scientific paper about frontal lobe activation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Natalie Portman. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Natalie Portman), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. 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.

		Hook update
		Your hook reached 7,053 views (587.8 per hour), making it one of the most viewed hooks of October 2022 – nice work!

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Elcho Castle you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Djmaschek -- Djmaschek (talk) 21:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The article Elcho Castle you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Elcho Castle for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Djmaschek -- Djmaschek (talk) 23:20, 16 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Djmaschek, thank you, I'll look at this within the next day or two. -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:21, 17 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kj cheetham,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

Suggestions:

• There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
• Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
• Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
• This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

The article Elcho Castle you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Elcho Castle for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Djmaschek Thank you, that's much appreciated! -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:09, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.

Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.

Great work everyone! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Con Brio.

Hi Kj cheetham! Many thanks for the note you shared in the page Laura Messing that I started. I appreciate you adding these details while I humbly cruise my first steps as a contributor :) I've been working in including categories, links and brushed up a few errors you pointed out. I was wondering when would it be appropriate to delete the note, do you have any suggestions/ tips for me to continue making it better? Sending good thoughts on your day! Melloncita Melloncita (talk) 11:10, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Melloncita, thanks for your message! Categories look good, I see the article now has links to it and so I've removed the orphan tag, and I've done a couple of minor tweaks myself too. I've not proof-read it or looked at the sources, but you should be aware about the different types of sources outlined at WP:PSTS. Basically you don't want too many sources written by the subject or the institution they work for, etc. You may want to ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Women artists (or even join that project if you haven't already) for more specific help. Hope that helps! -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:46, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kj cheetham, many thanks for your reply and for kindly having checked the categories and removed the orphan tag. I will follow your lead re joining/checking Wikipedia:WikiProject Women artists project, and will continue to research on different sources. Thank you once again for this! and for your recent tweaks. All my best, -Melloncita Melloncita (talk) 14:37, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Florence Guggenheim-Grünberg. 2001:44C8:4748:AD87:9315:F077:1C72:C628 (talk) 08:43, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Adding {{Uncategorized}} is hardly vandalism... especially when the article doesn't have any actual categories... -Kj cheetham (talk) 08:49, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know that I've unreviewed this page and moved it to draft. There's likely a UPE issue, the page was created by a sock. See this SPI for more information. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 13:54, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Recently I edited this article and added some references, wikilinks, and Image(with copyright permission). Suddenly, noticed that the promotional template. Which part of the article needs to improve. Since I told you I'm new to Wikipedia and still learning to improve myself.
