		The Multiple Barnstar
		I wasn't sure which barnstar to offer for your newest userscript previewRedirectContext.js; so here are three! I installed it right when I saw your post about it, and it has sped me up so much. I highly recommend it to all redirect patrollers. Also, while I'm giving you the redirect star, thanks for your recent reviews at WT:RAL!

@Chithrima hi, I assume you mean Draft:Madhu Sudan V. It looks like you had some advice from @ChrysGalley. You need to find several independent, high-quality sources with more than a sentence or two about him. Interviews or movie databases aren't great for this. The Times of India source could work, but as ChrysGalley said, it isn't always grat: see WP:TIMESOFINDIA. Can you find a couple more profiles on this person like that one, from reputable newspapers? If you can, the article will probably be accepted. Rusalkii (talk) 23:07, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Hello --Kaebi (talk) 11:05, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to reach out to you and say thank you for the edit(s) you performed to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2026 January 5#Current U.S. state representative redirects after I relisted it. After all the work you did, I went ahead and closed it, though, since the nominator changed the nomination further to a point where their edits were rather detrimental to determining consensus in that discussion. I was hoping for a better result, but the nominator went ahead and solidified the WP:TRAINWRECK. Steel1943 (talk) 18:49, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rusalkii, I'm looking for a Russian speaker to help me interpret this, I came across Mysterious Ways (album), but I'm not sure if this is an accurate translation of the original title. I found it from the redirect Пути неисповедимы (the original Russian title), which is machine translating to "The Ways Are Inscrutable". The titles in the references for the article also say "The Ways Are Inscrutable". So I'm trying to figure out where "Mysterious Ways" came from, and I search the original Russian title. Google gives me a different title saying "Ways are unfathomable", so... cool. And Google Translate gives me "The ways of fate are inscrutable" btw. I'm just plain confused now, do you have any idea what the best English translation would be? Sophisticatedevening^(talk) 18:06, 15 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm! Honestly none of those are terrible, except the Google translate one which invented "fate" out of thin air. I'd go with "Unfathomable Ways" myself but "Inscrutable Ways" works about as well and "Mysterious Ways" is worse but not a mistranslation, I'd say. The grammar also allows for "The ways are [adjective]" but that works worse as a title.

Now, haven't actually looked where the title comes from, if there's a set usage on English obviously we should go with that regardless of my translation opinions. Rusalkii (talk) 18:36, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
