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 undid your reversion of Update6's blanking of their user talk page; as the policy you cite states, "Declined unblock requests regarding a currently active block."; Update6 does not presently have an active block, making the policy void in that respect. — Dædαlus^{+ Contribs} 03:51, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that! I hadn't noticed the point about the block needing to be active - I'll remember that. Lijil (talk) 04:33, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that source on the merge on Transgender disenfranchisement. I have no idea where it came from as it's not something I used or read. Spooky. Revolving Doormat (talk) 14:22, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Wait, nevermind, I see where it was from. I must have copy/pasted the wrong one when moving things around to the first sentence. Disregard! Revolving Doormat (talk) 14:32, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it, and for doing the merge! I would have fixed the citation myself but it was so late and I was so sleepy... I would like to help with the whole article, but it's pretty intimidating and I've no idea where to start and will have a bit less time for Wikipediaing in the next weeks - but if you have specific suggestions, like a section I could work on, or spin off, let me know, I'd like to help. Lijil (talk) 15:17, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

I think the two easiest, non-controversial places to start are ones that already have spin-offs could be significantly reduced to briefly summarize the topic and link out to the main articles I mentioned on the talk page, #Trump presidency (2025–present), so that is already spun off into Persecution of transgender people under the second Trump administration and the #Violence sections into Violence against transgender people in the United States. as these are both fairly substantial on their own and may well contain significant duplicate content. The later could include #Physical violence, #Sexual violence, and #Genocide sections be collapsed into #Violence with a summary that encompasses all three and any other topics covered in the target article.

I agree it is intimidating. My computer is not the newest, but it certainly isn't so old that editing Wikipedia should cause my browser to freeze up entirely. I think that is the longest page I've ever seen on Wikipedia and I shutter at the thought of being proved it is not the longest that exists. Revolving Doormat (talk) 15:41, 7 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, can you take care of this, following MOS? Talk:Giorgia Meloni#who she said, "with the boards of their own examples, built the ladder that today allows me to climb and break the heavy glass ceiling placed over our heads". Thanks.

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Cera Care, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Bloomberg.

Hello, I'm Historyexpert2. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Please read WP:HOUND Historyexpert2 (talk) 18:50, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Historyexpert2. Thanks for your message. I wasn't trying to offend you, I was asking you to take care with your edits of gender/trans-related articles. Apparently writing at the same time as you wrote this, I just left another note on your user talk page asking you not to merge articles without a consensus to do so. I am concerned about your apparent targeting of articles about transgender people and gender related topics, which as you know is designated as a contentious topic, and where you delete sections referencing WP policies that are often incorrectly applied and merge whole articles which bypasses the discussions that are supposed to be had in PROD/AfD. (See diff), diff). I also noted your inappropriate politicizing of an AfD for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trans* where you referred to the article's sources being "mostly niche woke/sjw sources", which other people in the discussion also criticized as "pejorative" and "buffoonish" and suggested you should strike out. You chose not to. WP:HOUND clearly states that "Correct use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing unambiguous errors or violations of Wikipedia policy, or correcting related problems on multiple articles." That is all I have been doing. Lijil (talk) 19:27, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello, here is a response regarding to your concerns: I have not continued to use this vocabulary during source evaluation and will not continue out of care to the editors who disliked it. Furthermore, I will take more steps like editing other topics or adding text instead of deleting, as to avoid fueling your impression that this is a targeting of this topic area. Historyexpert2 (talk) 19:39, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks, @Historyexpert2 - that sounds great. All the best to you. Lijil (talk) 19:44, 11 January 2026 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Link rot. Thanks! --Hipal (talk) 18:41, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder! I actually can't remember which article this was on, I've been reviewing a lot, so if you'd like me to fix it can you please tell me which article? Lijil (talk) 12:59, 14 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I've discussing slightly at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Mathematics#Draft:Best_arm_identification about a draft that a few weeks ago you rejected. At the time, you tagged it as possibly LLM-generated, but your comments didn't expand on that point, and personally I don't really see it. Would you be willing to comment on that in the discussion at WT:WPM? Thanks, --JBL (talk) 18:08, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to Phase 2 of the January–February 2026 NPP drive. During Phase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!
