Speedy deletion nomination of Category:RuPaul's Drag Race season 6 episodes

A tag has been placed on Category:RuPaul's Drag Race season 6 episodes indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, 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! 07:03, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
Category recreation
Naraht, are you aware of this previous deletion discussion? I ask due to your recreation of Category:RuPaul's Drag Race season 6 episodes.-- Ponyobons mots 20:06, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Ponyo Yes. That isn't what these categories are. These categories are specific to the episodes rather than overall to the seasons. *Both* levels existed at that point and once the Season categories were deleted in this CFD and later a *lot* of back and forth over the notability of individual episodes the primary author moved all of the episodes to Draft and the season episode categories were deleted. See Category:RuPaul's Drag Race season 5 episodes for information on when the *episode* categories for each season occured and the notifications to me are at User_talk:Naraht/Archive_18, specifically around 21 November, by Liz.
- Once enough episodes of each season went through the AFC process for a season, the episode categories were recreated. (Given that they weren't removed by a CFD but rather after being emptied, there is no issue with recreating them) Each of the categories has at least three entries. There are a few left in the overall Category:RuPaul's Drag Race episodes for the seasons that don't have three episodes.Naraht (talk) 20:18, 23 January 2026 (UTC)
- Okay, I just wanted to double check that you were aware as the recreation popped up in an edit filter. Cheers, -- Ponyobons mots 20:23, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

The arclimits method
It appears you had reverted my update of the Angle Trisection page. If you are able to refute my solution, which I have called the arclimits method, I would welcome correction. Sandwich the arc of an angle between a straight line and a semicircle, both of which may be divided into thirds easily, and connect those dividing points. I wonder if the line to connect/trisect/divide is exactly circular, and would enjoy comment. But I cannot reason that the trisecting line would inflect in any way; whereas I reason it must depart from the straight line's dividing point perpendicularly Michaelatobias (talk) 14:51, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Censorship (and similar) is that you can't say what you want on the streets, what you are claiming is the right to walk into a business and expressing your opinion.

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026
Hello Naraht,

Backlog update
At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.
After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.
2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.
Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.
BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.
January–February backlog drive
The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.
May backlog drive
An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.
PageTriage
An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Stupid mistake
(Perpetrated by me, not you.) Before spending my time doing this, I should have looked to see if there was an article with the same title (but conventionally capitalized). After editing, I did notice that there indeed was, and was about to zap the draft -- but found that you'd beat me to it. There's a moral in that, somewhere.

Check your Regex with AWB
Please be sure to check your AWB edits. Special:Diff/1358346093, Special:Diff/1358346908 & Special:Diff/1358348540 all duplicated the |open_theme= parameter. We all make mistakes with AWB, but these are pretty glaring as the duplicated parameters were right next to eachother showing you did not review the edits at all. The last one also had a misleading edit summary. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:11, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- Zackmann08 Hmm. I thought that the automatic fixes of depreciated parameters by AWB would clean that up. I'd see that in the past, may have to loop through again. (So it will eliminate if A exists twice, but not when the change duplicates A) I completely agree on the last, I don't know what happened on the last one's edit summary (I had had a consistent title out of AWB, wierd.) Thank you for the catch.Naraht (talk) 04:22, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
- As an additional comment, While I initially was doing normal replaces (without regex) I then noticed it was doing narrated to narrator without me including that in my changes. I was actually pulling from the category that had the depreciated parameters and AWB was doing the depreciated paramters itself, so no regex at all (which is unusual for my AWB edits.Naraht (talk) 04:24, 8 June 2026 (UTC)
"3st" & "4st"
Sorry to bother you about this again, but do you know of a possible advanced search that would find articles that contain both the strings "3st", and "4st"? I am asking this as I have came across four separate examples of articles that have abbreviations of numerical adjectives listed as just nst, regardless of what n is, and I wanted to know if there are more out there, although it could also be useful just to have any advanced search that only selects articles that have both of 2 adjustable strings.
I haven't been very active in the past 10 days, so hopefully I will feel the desire to edit again, since I have only done maybe 10% of the master typo list, at most. - BlueEleephant (talk · contribs) 02:51, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
- BlueEleephant sorry for not getting back to you. You want anything with the letters 3st or 4st in that order so it will find 93st and 94st? Naraht (talk) 14:15, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

This eliminates anything like 3stirring. This causes a few groupings of perhaps problematic pages to jump out. One group is Russian Soldiers, who have File:RUS Georgievsky Krest 3st BAR.svg and File:RUS Georgievsky Krest 4st BAR.svg in their list of medals. Since that is from a Russian government source and it is apparently from a Russian source, I'm not sure it is worth applying for a name change on Commons (which would then filter down to the english version. A second group is images for various pieces of Beethoven Symphonies where the 3st (and 5st for example) are in the image names of musical scores. A third group is in URLs to a specific german sports team's website. Not sure what the st means after the date, not sure it is worth it for those.

Let me know if you'd like help on either of the groups of images and renaming.Naraht (talk) 18:04, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Naraht:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.
Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
