New pages patrol January–February 2026 Backlog drive

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.

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Oh-Fortuna!. Thank you for your work on Stacey Merkt. Another editor, Lijil, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for writing this article. I'm not quite sure whether Stacey Merck's fulfils the notability criteria - there is WP:SIGCOV but I think it might be about just one event, her being imprisoned. Could you read Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Subjects_notable_only_for_one_event and see what you think? If you can revise the article to make it clear that it's not just the one event then feel free to remove the notability template.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Lijil}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Lijil (talk) 03:24, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

@Lijil: Thank you for this comment, and I see that you already read my note to you on her talk page. i'm so grateful for editors like you who push my work to be better/stronger/more durable for the long run. Oh-Fortuna! (talk) 18:31, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Why thank you!! Lijil (talk) 18:59, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Women in Green reviewing drive

Hello Oh-Fortuna!:

This month, February 2026, WikiProject Women in Green is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions and guidelines and feel free to ask for a mentor to check your work.

We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page for updates as the event progresses.

We hope to see you there!
