Hello, GMH Melbourne. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Parliamentary Secretary of the Cabinet, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

A tag has been placed on Category:1840s in Mauritius indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, 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!} 21:45, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello GMH Melbourne,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

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

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Amelia Hamer is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amelia Hamer until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

I must apologise to you @GMH Melbourne- I mentioned Hamer in the discussion for deletion of Alex Bhathal, (also nominated by AusLondoner). Because of this, they immediately nominated Hamer for deletion as well. I recently created Alex Bhathal and I very much think her article should be kept- I only mentioned Hamer as an example of how a candidate can be notable enough to keep. The deletion discussion for Bhathal is ongoing. GraziePrego (talk) 02:13, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GraziePrego: Hello, no need to apologise, I understand where AusLondonder is coming from. WP:NPOLITICIAN states that unelected candidates aren't inherently notable, which is the case here. But if the articles meet GNG, then they are 'notable' outside of the requirements of NPOLITICIAN and hopefully the community discussion should result in a keep outcome.

Thanks @GMH Melbourne, glad there's no hard feelings. Happy to see what others think. AusLondonder (talk) 06:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I should also say no hard feelings from me to you either @AusLondonder, we’re all here to make Wikipedia better :) totally respect your nominations. GraziePrego (talk) 08:12, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your through and detailed good article review of John Tonkin. You did well! I hope for List of premiers of Victoria to be promoted at FLC soon. You now have 2 supports which might be enough. Steelkamp (talk) 13:53, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! GMH Melbourne (talk) 14:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations, GMH Melbourne! The list you nominated, List of premiers of Victoria, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.

This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 12:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
