I see you have been removing AfC draft notices from numerous userspace drafts, and I wondered why. JBW (talk) 21:36, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

@JBW: CAT:AFCU/D is a pseudo-category that I have monitored for the past few years (have not checked it in a while, hence the volume today — went through all of the pages in it; approximately 15% of the 100 or so pages in it required remedy). AfC is a voluntary process. Anyone is welcome to submit a page through the system for consideration. When this occurs, the page will generally be moved to the draft space (and no longer be a 'personal' user draft). However, applying an unsubmitted AFC template in userspace of others only serves to make that page eligible for G13. It is tantamount to backdoor deletion in the userspace of another if the page goes unedited. {{Userspace draft}} provides all of the helpful links and benefits to the user in question, without the nasty side effects. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 21:59, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

OK, thanks for explaining your reason, though I don't agree with it. JBW (talk) 22:36, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Est. 2021. Although I know you're an experienced contributor to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your edits to User:Est. 2021/Userboxes, User:Churba/Userboxes and User:Pr3st0n/My Babel, among others. While you probably didn't intend any disturb, please do remember that users are free to choose whether they prefer to have userboxes and user categories placed on their main userpage or another subpage of theirs, as that's the whole point of having a subpage entirely dedicated to userboxes and user categories. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could avoid such edits. Thank you. – Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 18:26, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

@Est. 2021: Super short on time, so my apologies if the tone of this reply sounds unintentionally curt. I added the newly created category, i.e Category:Wikipedian bartenders (which I also created on August 2, 2025) to Template:User bartender → on August 2nd of this year. So, actually, this edit left your choice unchanged (or in the status quo technically)! It also honors the text on the category page, "please include only your user page in this category, not any sub-pages" (which I borrowed from Category:Wikipedian beekeepers). Warmest regards, — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 20:52, 4 August 2025 (UTC)

@Est. 2021: ~(still traveling)~ Hello again . In regard to Category:Redirectionist Wikipedians: solely one (sub-or-not)page per user in each category is likely tolerable (though not ideal — we seemingly disagree philosophically on the nature of the matter, which I would be happy to discuss another time). But LB22 should not be listed in that category 6 times. It seems your userpage got caught in the crosshairs of my remedying that; I am content with your reversion on your user subpage and offer my sympathy. However, I stand by the other ~5 category removal collection of edits as appropriate (per this comment and the above). I too maintain a subpage for userboxes, User:Godsy/Userboxes, intentionally without 'messing up' the categories (my characterization) — though that is an aside. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 02:48, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi Godsy, thanks for the comment. I kinda agree with you about each user only being listed one time (or two I guess, as I've seen valid exceptions) per each category, not six times in a row in the same category. I suppose we could simply inform such users (eg. LB22) about that, asking them to not list themselves more than one time (or two) per category, leaving then to choose which (sub-or-not)page. Would you agree? Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 12:22, 5 August 2025 (UTC)

@Est. 2021: That very well might be a fruitful solution in general, if anyone desired. In the case of LB22, however, I doubt a notification would be helpful given that the last time they were active (bar one edit in 2013) was 15 years ago (2009). Most solutions would be more of an encroachment into their user space (likely requiring massive substitutions of templates etc.) and quite a bit of work. They also lack a main userpage, so one cannot simply induct them in the category normally to preserve the potential intent. Unfortunately, I think simply removing them from the category (as I did before) is the most well-rounded solution in this case.

In regard to the other template/category, I plan to restore the edits I made to the userspace to preserve the status quo and honor the category instructions (which has precedent) bar any objection. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 09:14, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

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.
