[edit]Hello Jeffrey R. Clark,

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).

[edit]Hello Jeffrey
Hope you are doing well.
I am a newbie on Wikipedia as far as contributing is concerned though I have been an avid reader since ages.
I have created an article by the name - RIV (As a name). I would be extremely happy to get some insight on the quality, do's and dont's before it can be published. --Xyzhellogain (talk) 08:32, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Jeffrey,
I have just started editing some articles and would like to hear your thoughts! I made the most changes to the article about Donald Attig and would really like to hear some feedback. I understand that you may be busy but any advice would be much appreciated.

Help Publishing a New Mathematical Framework on Wikipedia
Hello Mr. Clark
I am MJ Celedon I’m working on publishing an article about Fluid Mathematics System (FMS), a proposed mathematical framework that integrates classical, quantum, and computational mathematics. I submitted a draft through Articles for Creation (AfC), but it was declined due to concerns about the following: 1. Notability – FMS is a new framework, and there are limited independent sources beyond my published research. 2. Tone and neutrality – The article was flagged as too promotional. 3. Verification of research – I have published research on Zenodo (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15038600) and Academia.edu, but I am unsure if Wikipedia considers these reliable sources.
I would appreciate your guidance on the following: How to properly cite self-published research while meeting Wikipedia’s verification standards
What additional sources would strengthen the notability of FMS How to adjust the article’s tone to ensure it meets Wikipedia’s neutrality guidelines
Any steps I can take to improve the chances of approval
I’m not a great writer so this part of getting my mathematical system published is very hard for me. I would greatly appreciate your guidance. I do use chatGPT to help clean up my writing but it is all my own work.
Best regards, MJ Celedon --MJCeledon (talk) 04:40, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- @MJCeledon Hi and welcome to Wikipedia, with the lack of third party sources and the subject being largely a self-published research work it's highly unlikely to pass notability at this point in time. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 00:55, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
