Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Joonas Sundman, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Ghazi Ayadi, you may be blocked from editing. Giant Snowman 09:31, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Abu Salim SC players

A tag has been placed on Category:Abu Salim SC players indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:02, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy speedy deletion

Hi there! I wanted to reach out because I noticed you recently nominated the Colm Merrick article for A7 speedy deletion one minute after the article was created. Except in extreme cases (e.g., harassment or copyright violations), editors are encouraged to wait to nominate a page for speedy deletion until the article is no longer being actively edited. In practice, this often means editors should wait to tag a page for speedy deletions such as A7 until the page has been stable for at least one hour. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. Take care, Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:19, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
