How did you assess Albert Rakoto Ratsimamanga as a C

@Paradise Chronicle I am a little bit surprised and disappointed by your review for Albert Rakoto Ratsimamanga. I wonder how did you reach this conclusion. The article is easily a B. if you can please elaborate on what is need for the article to become a B that will help ..FuzzyMagma (talk) 19:42, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

I am not so much familiar with the subject See B 2. and the rater just shows us more or less where it is about standing. I seldomly or almost never rate an article a B. But if you feel it is a B and almost nothing is missing, you can rate it yourself. Up to a B, we can all rate it as we want. Only if it goes to GAN an article gets seriously reviewed. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 19:58, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
@Paradise Chronicle I wrote the article so it’s not fair to grade my own work. But let me know if there something I can do to persuade you to rate the article as B FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:33, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
Ok, you have a B and I agree it is a B. I now went over the article again and if you want, you can even try to take it to a GA. For this I suggest you once more go through the whole article. Remove the little things you might have overseen. For example I know MOS:OL, and there I was wondering why you wikilink countries like France. There might be reason I don't know, but I wouldn't. Then the copy edit with the Ashkenazi Jews you probably noticed as well. You could also compare the awards and honors section with the ones of other articles and see what you like more. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 06:54, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks .. never thought of a GA but why not FuzzyMagma (talk) 07:45, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
FuzzyMagma I saw this edit of yours and wanted to explain why I rate articles. Often articles have been added to projects but were not rated for years. Or articles have been rated years ago and the rating was not reassessed. I mainly rate articles so they do not appear as unrated or as a stub in a chart like this of category like this. If then the project which is ideally supposed to come across the (new) articles (like it happens with new articles in Women in Red) disagrees with my assessment, they can still re-assess the articleParadise Chronicle (talk) 10:13, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

fair judgment

Hi there, i noticed your edit at new article Downtown Paris Historic District which I started, and I don't recognize your name. I happen to create and develop articles mostly on places listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. Your adding {{over-quotation}} tag there is fine and appropriate, given the state of the article, I wanted to say. I'm glad you are on board... keep up your good work. cheers, --Doncram (talk,contribs) 07:08, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

High there, thank you for the interesting article. I must say I believe the article has quite a potential, but you have added many quotations for most of the buildings described. How about smoothening it out (by applying a copy edit) in wikivoice? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:12, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

Arıca

Sorry, I didn't even notice that it wasn't an stub. My apologies. Semsûrî (talk) 14:30, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Ah, ok. You were involved in redirecting village stubs. Check the 771 villages in Diyarbakir province and the 128 in Bitlis Province... were you ever aware about a request for your input? Just wondering how well WP:MASSCREATE is working.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 14:44, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
Not sure at this point, but will look into it. Semsûrî (talk) 15:10, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

DYK nomination

Dear Paradise Chronicle, thank you for your comments and edits with regards to the DYK nomination for the Geneva official chestnut tree article. I've created several incoming links, so that I could remove the orphaned template in the article. However, I'm not sure what you mean by "We sort of expect that most of the phrase are sourced to qualify for DYK". Do you mean that some part of the hook is not sourced in the indicated link (if yes, which one ? to me, it looks like everything is covered). Or that other sentences in the article itself should be sourced, too ? (I'm aware of this last fact; I have plenty of sources available, but very few in English unfortunately). Thank you in advance for your help ! (and, yes, I will have a look into archiving my talk page; thanks for the headsup ! Schutz (talk) Schutz (talk) 21:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

I am just answering from own experience. It is not enough to have the hook sourced. From me it is expected that each paragraph within the article ends with a rock solid source as can be seen here. And once I was also asked to source the first phrase of a paragraph. Since, I try to make sure each phrase is sourced, this counts when being the editor of the article nominated for DYK and also as a reviewer of an article nominated for DYK. This guide is much less demanding and maybe you also come through with it, but I wouldn't comment below nor approve your DYK in the present state.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:08, 11 December 2022 (UTC)
Great, thanks for the detailed answer, I understand better. Yes, I had indeed read carefully the guide you mention. In any case, I will continue working on the article in the next few days, including adding sources (as I mentioned, there are plenty, even though they are almost only in French -- which is better than nothing, of course). All the best, Schutz (talk) 23:20, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Deleting unsourced content

Hi. Please refrain from deleting unsourced content without searching for sources yourself, as you did here. Either search for sources and then add them or delete content if none can be found, or add the 'citation needed' tag. Somuchknowledge (talk) 01:10, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for your concern. Feel free to re-add it. I have just read several lists of laws directed against women by the Taliban, but didn't find those. I found a law that did prohibit to portray all human beings but not specifically only women. And I didn't find anything on first floor when searching with control+f in several better articles, so I removed it.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 01:41, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

1986 Route du Rhum

This was on my watch list as it linked to an article I'd created. It seems a pity to draftify one of a series of articles on the race, leaving a gap. I have found http://www.histoiredeshalfs.com/1986%20Rhum.htm which I think confers notability (found by looking at the 1982 race article, seeing its ref, changing "2" to"6" in the URL ... et voila!) I have dedraftified it. PamD 10:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

That's what draft space is for. I am sure the Route du Rhum is notable, but at the time, it was just not for main space. I'd still add sources for the ranking and maybe add what happened each week etc. Like who was first after the first week, second week..., add some phrases on weather conditions etc. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 11:44, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Awards for expanding stubs

Hey. I saw your recent RfC proposal that we "award the expanders of articles (stubs) with the notifications that usually only the creator receives". I like it. What do you think about expanding it to also propose that expanding stubs counts as creation for awards like WP:FOUR? Enterprisey (talk!) 02:43, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

@Enterprisey I'd absolutely support the awarding of a FOUR star to the ones who make it from a stub. But I also feel that this particular measure will only address a limited number of editors. I believe the transfer of the notifications of the creator to the expanders are the prize. I'd also support editors who achieved a GA receiving the notifications (if they want), no matter if they achieved it from a stub or a B class. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:41, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

AfD Nomination

Hi Paradise Chronicle. I have fixed your AfD nomination of Uthuvayankulam. In the future, please follow the guidance at WP:AFDHOWTO when nominating an article for deletion. Alternatively, you might want to use WP:TWINKLE which automates a lot of these processes. WJ94 (talk) 14:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I actually used TWINKLE to nominate it, but the process was partly stopped, I assume because I included the links the blacklisted URLs in the nomination. I began a discussion on the AFD talk page about the issue here. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 14:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Ah that makes sense. In such an instance, I'd suggest following the guidance at WP:AFDHOWTO - otherwise the nomination doesn't appear correctly on the log (it mainly involves copying & pasting a substituted template to make sure all the headers/other info at the top is there). You might also want to revist your nomination comment on that page because it mainly contains your description of the difficulty nominating, rather than a clear statement of why you think the page should be deleted. WJ94 (talk) 14:42, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. And also updated my deletion report. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 15:09, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Willi Ritschard

Halocene

I've already merged Brian.butt's attempts over to the existing draft at Draft:Halocene, which is probably why draftification didn't work for you. What I do with the MoveToDraft script is add a "(2)" to the end of the expected title, i.e. the page would be moved to "Draft:Halocene (2)" instead. If needed, draft content can be merged after. Jalen Folf (talk) 01:29, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

NPR talk comments

Hello Paradie Chronicle,

I noticed that you started, or engaged in, a very lively talk about the NPR right. I was recently put on trial for the perm after a lengthy NPP school term, and was rather taken aback by that. I will do my best with the trial now, and hopefully still earn the perm and continue to work on NPR related tasks on WP, but was still surprised. I figured that graduating NPP school was big part of the whole vetting, but I was mistaken I guess. I wanted to let you know that I commented on the talk page you were involved in here Wikipedia talk:Requests for permissions and invite you to return for further comment. Personally, I think we should raise the edit count from 500 to 5,000+, but then also make NPP school a requirement, but that should be sufficient. Have that, and no major red flags, hat collecting, or other issues, and then personally... I feel you should be eligible to receive the perm from there and get to work. Just my thoughts... would be curious to hear how you feel? :) — Moops ⋠T⋡ 14:18, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I am sorry to hear that also after having approved NPP school and also received your trainers support you still need to prove your self. I believe the permission is for something different than what it is called. Some editors like to review new pages and add wikilinks from the new and existing pages. Add categories, rate them etc. I have not yet nominated for deletion much and mostly outside the NPP. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 16:08, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

DYK for Erdoğan-Gollum comparison trials

On 22 February 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Erdoğan-Gollum comparison trials, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status.

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Erdoğan-Gollum comparison trials.

Nirmaljoshi

Hi,

Just letting you know that I've already talked to Nirmaljoshi and unless I have missed something they stopped their mass creation of articles on Japanese dams after having their request for permission to create them denied. BilledMammal (talk) 08:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Where did they apply for permission? As to my count, on the 1 March they created about 19 articles within ca.2 1/2 hours.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 19:47, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
I was not aware of those creations; they applied for permission here. BilledMammal (talk) 19:52, 4 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello I noticed you added the one source tag but the article has 6 sources? Nocturnal781 (talk) 19:17, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

Valentine Python

In your article on Valentine Python you write that she has a doctorate from EPFL and that "she was employed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change from 2007 onwards". I couldn't find any scientific publication by her, neither in the library of EPFL nor with Google Scholar. Can you back up your statements? Thank you, SchaerWords (talk) 08:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for evaluating the article of Valentine Python and entrusting me with improving it. That she completed a doctorate in 2010 is sourced in that source by Le Temps probably the leading newspaper in francophone Switzerland. Here is another one from an University Ranking sort of website. But I also couldn't find a source for her professional involvement in the GEIC, so I changed it into studied the work of the GEIC during her preparation for her doctorate. I hope this addresses your concerns.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 23:44, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Speedway articles

Hi Paradise Chronicle, thanks for the guidance. What exactly do you mean? The individual championship or team championship? Both carry an introduction paragraph before the table itself and the tables have columns which I thought were self explanatory. Anyway if you could advise what you think needs explaining more, then I will amend. Many thanks Pyeongchang (talk) 20:50, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Yeah maybe I am also not so much into it as you and therefore the tables are not as self explanatory for me as for you:) In the 1990 Swedish Speedway individual season (I believe they have several races?) the finish between the different racers seemed pretty tight and maybe some info could be added on how Tony Richardson came out first. Erik Stenlund was already a champion at the time and maybe a favorite to the title? Then you could also explain why it is notable that Hans Nielsen topped the team average, if his team came in only third? Maybe I am also too demanding, but for me, this would make the article a bit more interesting. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:48, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Article ratings

Hi there Paridise Chronicle. I believe I've seen you around but this will be a first time contacting you. I want to know why you don't consider Scaramouche (Milhaud) a B class article. After your C class rating, I was wondering if there was anything you think could be done. After all, I've nominated it for GA, so would appreciate anything you could say. Thanks, Schminnte (talk • contribs) 07:24, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

I do not trust the automatic assessment and prefer to be humble than overrating an article. Ulrich Ochsenbein (an article I expanded) also showed a B, but I assessed it as a start. Military History then assessed it a C. I just believe articles should be added to projects so they can be included in project drives (as it happened with Ulrich Ochsenbein) and more or less assessed. I believe Scaramouche is very well sourced and I wish you good luck with the GA review.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:53, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Contesting a close

Hello,

I noticed that you wanted to contest the close of the 2023 Israeli judicial reform protests nomination at ITN/C, but you did so by reverting an edit of mine that simply fixed a broken template & leaving a message in the middle of the template.

To contest it, rename the section to change (Closed) to (Reopened) and delete the following from the top: 

 {{atop|result=Good faith proposal, but a consensus in favor of posting will not develop. Feel free to reopen if the target article receives substantial updates. <b style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">[[User:Vanilla Wizard|<b style="background-color:#07d;color:#FFF"> Vanilla </b>]][[User Talk:Vanilla Wizard|<b style="background-color:#749;color:#FFF"> Wizard </b>]]</b> [[Special:Contribs/Vanilla Wizard|💙]] 00:28, 11 July 2023 (UTC)}}

Then delete {{abot}} from the bottom and leave a quick comment indicating that you've reopened a previously closed discussion, and that's all!

Though I will caution you that you may face an uphill battle considering how much opposition there was to your nomination. Small edits that don't add significant prose are usually not considered by the community to be sufficiently substantial when considering if a page should appear in Ongoing, and statements along the lines of "the oppose votes above are not valid" may not change minds unless the page has received major updates since their !votes were cast, as these editors already came to the conclusion that the updates up to that point were insufficient.

Best wishes,  Vanilla  Wizard 💙 05:11, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Yes, my dear, major updates were made before and after the votes were cast. Do you really think, I nominate an un-updated article? Best wishes to you, too.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 05:29, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

On operation murat and winter campaign of 1994-95

Why are you trying to change the topics of these channels when im literally giving out proper proof? The proof youre using for operation murat are from an article when the operation was ONGOING the proof i placed was an article updated after the operation had ENDED For the campaign, the campaign was done THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE SOUTHEAST TURKEY, no few tens turkish soldiers dead, same with the kurds, check the casualties in kurdish turkish campaign for 1994-1995. TRAVERA1 (talk) 01:11, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I have seen the names of the "martyrs". But there is no operation Murat in the source. You also removed sources and now I am trying to figure out what the sources from before and your sources say. Please bring sources that say operation Murat. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 01:17, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Ok, I found out that the text of Operation Murat is either a trimmed copy paste from a google translation of the source or you have a similar translation technique like google translate. It's ok for me, but I am not sure if for Diannaa as well. But that the victims died in the same operation is unsourced and I am not sure what the privacy policy states on their mention. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 01:40, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
The listed soldiers are there because if you check where they were killed they are in the zone of the operation, the dates match up with operation murat aswell. TRAVERA1 (talk) 02:58, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
Thats not how sourcing works. Maybe there was another enemy in that zone? And terrorism in Turkey, ... maybe a few children flashed the victory sign or demanded education in Kurdish language
(this is terror in Turkey) and the soldiers died for this? We don't know. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:03, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
How could there be another enemy in that zone? If so, they are apart of the operation and they are to be wiped out. Also stop saying as if kurds are being oppressed, there are literal sections for you to study in university about the kurdish language and history. TRAVERA1 (talk) 09:03, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
I have never said in our conversation Kurds are being oppressed. Anyway, doesn't matter, the soldiers dying from the Operation Murat is unsourced. They died and this is sourced, but from Operation Murat not and that article is about Operation Murat. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
What youre saying is like, lets say, a german soldier was killed in the area conducted inside of operation barbarossa during ww2, the dates match wehn the operation barbarossa is going on and you say that "he wasnt killed in operation barbarossa" TRAVERA1 (talk) 21:19, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
I don't believe you could add the name of a dead soldier of Operation Barbarossa if the source doesn't mention Operation Barbarossa. I requested page protection for now. If you insist, I believe you are heading for a block. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:22, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
Fine delete them then TRAVERA1 (talk) 14:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
But then you have to delete the amount of turkish soldiers killed in the infobox because in no where it mentions a single soldier being killed so you gotta make it literally 0, up to you TRAVERA1 (talk) 14:58, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank You!

Administrators' newsletter – June 2023

News and updates for administrators from the past month (May 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, editors indefinitely site-banned by community consensus will now have all rights, including sysop, removed.
  • As a part of the Wikimedia Foundation's IP Masking project, a new policy has been created that governs the access to temporary account IP addresses. An associated FAQ has been created and individual communities can increase the requirements to view temporary account IP addresses.

Technical news

  • Bot operators and tool maintainers should schedule time in the coming months to test and update their tools for the effects of IP masking. IP masking will not be deployed to any content wiki until at least October 2023 and is unlikely to be deployed to the English Wikipedia until some time in 2024.

Arbitration

  • The arbitration case World War II and the history of Jews in Poland has been closed. The topic area of Polish history during World War II (1933-1945) and the history of Jews in Poland is subject to a "reliable source consensus-required" contentious topic restriction.

Question from Henry, P. V. (00:43, 2 May 2023)

I thought my Sandbox was set up, but I was wrong. I noticed I have a Mentor and thought I'd say hello and thank you. I don't have a question now but give me time! Promise I won't overload you or aim to be burdensome. FWIW, I have Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia, so errors occur with Microsoft Editor, Grammarly Pro, and OS Advance Corrections/Defaults. NOT mentioned out of a desire to generate pity (one of three despised traits) but a head's-up that all added AI-Grammar Oversites and the strict reviews/re-reads imprinted on my brain via my former Editor-in-Chief included, I might make an unintentional typo occasionally. I look forward to playing a more initiative-taking role as a longtime Beta and, in general, Wiki-Contributor/Editor, at least as much as the Season/Cycle and Schedule allow. I miss it (Journalism and Writing/Editing/Sharing Info! Sorry you were assigned to me, lol! I hope all is wonderful on our end!

Dear Paradise Chronicle :

Thanks for participating Wikipedia Asian Month 2022. We are grateful of your dedication to Wikimedia movement and hope you join us next year!
Wish you all the best!

ITN recognition for Elisabeth Kopp

On 20 April 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Elisabeth Kopp, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:09, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Turkish POV?

Selahattin Demirtaş and Pervin Vuldan literally praised a separatist leader, how does it NOT make their party a separatist one? How this pure and obvious fact is biased? Turkish POV you say but even some people in Turkey disagree with the fact that HDP is a separatist party. Non lex rex (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Because they do not politicize for secession? Öcalan since at least 1993 has abandoned the idea of Kurdish independence from Turkey but wanted to have for the Kurds the same political and cultural rights as the Turks had and this within Turkey. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 21:35, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
Well please cite it so I can have a look Non lex rex (talk) 21:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
I do not really understand what you mean. To cite a revert? Here is a source for when Öcalan (then still in liberty) has explained that the PKK stands for cultural and political freedoms in Turkey and explicitly denies they intend to create a separate state.
"I accept the current Turkish borders. Nobody wants Turkey to be divided. This is very important! I want to negotiate a just, democratic solution to this twenty-year-old struggle. The Turks must accept the Kurdish identity. They should say in the constitution that there are other people in Turkey and accept a federal system, as in the United States, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and Spain."
On page 217 in the book which is accessible over the Wikipedia library. Here in a BBC source below the image with the PKK flag it says
"In the 1990s, the PKK rolled back on its demands for an independent state, calling instead for more autonomy for the Kurds."
And in a Guardian article are also mentioned greater autonomy and cultural rights. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 06:21, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Lugnuts

I appreciate the archiving on Lugnut's page, but using the autoarchive doesn't exactly work. It puts everything in Archive 1 instead of the last Archive, 62. I've been manually archiving for a while, just cut and paste with a summery "arch" or similar. I haven't been curious enough to fix the problem, as it is easy to manually edit. I already fixed the archive myself, but wanted to just let you know you want to do this manually, so the chronology makes sense and all the deletion templates are in one place, which might prove useful for others. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 01:57, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for coming to me, I also thought of finding a solution for the AfD notification from Lugnuts. I have Lugnuts page watchlisted, so I saw you archiving the notifications and thought it was ok, if I do just the same, but was then also surprised to see it goes to archive umber one and apparently it was not just the same. I guess I'll leave the task to you again next time.:)
Another solution would be if the notifications could be required for by another editor. I am rather sure others would be interested to get the notifications on their talk page.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 08:18, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
We really shouldn't use "nobots" or redirect. Archiving is acceptable, but since it's a talk page, we are kind of stuck to just that. It will start to slow down soon. I just don't want the deletion notes to look like gravedancing, but at the same time, we are obligated to keep them accessible. No good solution. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 23:03, 18 May 2023 (UTC)

Juan de Valladolid

It would appear that based on the references that there was a rivalry between Juan de Valladolid and Montoro not a friendship. The exchanges between the two were satirical and insulting. Dan arndt (talk) 13:06, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. My source said ...To his good and great friend 'We both belong to one and the same race—we are both Jews; the insults offered to you wound me also, and the injury which you suffer I suffer too.. I replaced friendship with acquaintance now. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 15:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

May 2023 NPP Drive Award

The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar

This award is given to Paradise Chronicle for collecting more than 40 points doing redirect reviews, in the May 2023 NPP backlog reduction drive. Thank you for your help in bringing down the backlog. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 01:38, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Paradise Chronicle,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

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).

Lewis Milestone

Hi Paradise Chronicle, I've finished my c/e and I've removed the "tone" tag as I think I've sufficiently dealt with that problem. It's quite a complex article, I'm sure you'll agree. The lede / header needs expanding to give a full summary of the article (see here). I found the referencing system quite confusing; some of the quoted material in footnotes is unrelated to what's being said in the article, and multiple citations are used where not really necessary. As I said on my talk, I've moved a lot of mostly off-topic text and refs to the article's talk page; much of this could be used to expand the relevant film articles; see my edit summaries for full rationales. So it's now almost 20,000 bytes lighter. i also think the section and sub-section headers could be shortened and the article better organized. Anyway, good luck with the article and have fun. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 04:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Bafflegab, thank you very much it was a pleasure to observe you. I was in fact not a major contributor, just a minor one. But after I noticed an edit war raged over the tone tag which led to a block, I thought i'd better bring the article to the specialists in tone and style. How you work is really good. Specially your saving of the removed info for just in case...I'll try that one too.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:03, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
No problem and thank you. :) I was unaware of the edit war but the article really did need the copy-edit and the tone issue needed addressing. It's an interesting article. Cheers and good luck, Baffle☿gab 20:55, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Paradise Chronicle, please take a look at this Turkey Project page Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey (DEİK) and possibly review. Kind regards TEB001 (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

Hey thanks, interesting article, didn't know about that one. I made some ce, added a few wls... what I doubt is whether the name of Fuat Heritage was really that. I believe it's a (mis)translation but I am not sure. The article also inspired me to expand Turgut Özals article a bit. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:23, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Greetings Paradise Chronicle. Glad the article helps improve another. My error on ‘Heritage’, didn’t notice that, thanks for pointing it out, I have corrected it, you can please revisit. Also take a look at Faruk Kaymakcı and Birnur Fertekligil and possibly review if you have the time. Kind regards. I will also like to send you an email. TEB001 (talk) 21:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Hi Paradise Chronicle, please help me see Ahmet Kavas, particularly because I had hard time assimilating some Turkish write ups. So I would be happy to have a Turk related reviewer see the article. Kind regards TEB001 (talk) 19:09, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women.

Article translation request

Hello colleague. Could I ask you to create a Kurdish wikipedia article about Mamed Iskenderov? I recently added information about his Kurdish origin (first in the Russian wiki, then duplicated in many other language sections). If not, could you suggest a user who could do this? Because, I don't know Kurdish. With respect, colleague. Smpad (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Smpad, thanks for the trust, but I am not so active in the Kurdish Wikipedia. Maybe you could ask Balyozxane? I have never made a request to them before though, but they are a member of the Kurdish Wikipedia group.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 02:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
