Welcome, welcome, welcome! Your work on LGBT-related articles is very commendable, especially because how little editors are working on that area. Since I couldn't get WP:PetScan to run, unfortunately I couldn't suggest to you any articles right now :(. You can try putting "LGBT" in the categories section, adjust the depth to 7, then go to the templates page and put "Unreferenced" in the "has a template:" box to search for uncited articles though. It's complicated I know :). I search for you some articles later in the day if you want some articles to test out your citation skills. CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 07:03, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

The name Coraline is actually one that has been invented twice by fictional writers. One source says the French name, with an een ending, was invented for a character in the opera La Toreador in the 1850s. It was later reinvented by Gaiman based on the misprint of Caroline, with the long i ending. In both conttexts, it is an invented name that meets the category.

Hello. I saw you approved some of my newly created pages about inscriptions. I wanted to ask why some of the inscription pages I made have been approved I made in the last week (Zabad inscription, Ruwafa inscriptions, Yazid inscription) but others which were created even before some of these still have not been approved (Jabal Dabub inscription, Ri al-Zallalah inscription, Jebel Usays inscription, Harran inscription, Hima Paleo-Arabic inscriptions, Dumat al-Jandal inscription)? Pogenplain (talk) 16:47, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Pogenplain:, the reason for this is likely that some of your articles got listed by a bot on a "new pages" notice page that I happen to follow because they contained some key words (probably related to ancient Rome or Greece, since those are the main topics I follow on Wikipedia), it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the pages or anything like that, all your articles are good as far as I've seen. 🙂★Trekker (talk) 17:02, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @StarTrekker:. If you do not mind I have created two more inscriptions and these are the last inscription pages I am creating for the foreseeable future so I hope you can review these quickly as well so that I do not encounter the same issue. Umm al-Jimal Paleo-Arabic inscription and Umm Burayrah inscription. Pogenplain (talk) 19:26, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

I also changed Judaism in pre-Islamic Arabia from a redirect into its own page do you know who I can ask to get it a content assessment rating? Pogenplain (talk) 22:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

@Pogenplain: I have no problem with you tagging me to review your articles. Ratings tend to be made by persons who are experienced in quality assessing, something that I'm personally not, ut usually takes at most a couple of weeks for someone to come across a new article and rate it.★Trekker (talk) 15:09, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Just saw this edit, and was curious as to the purpose. Using a space for sorting causes the article to be sorted at the top, but a plus causes it to be sorted under a plus—to no obvious advantage that I can see. However, knowing your usual meticulousness, I thought I'd better ask in case I was missing something. As a rule, I always use a space to have things sort at the top; but perhaps there's a reason for not doing so in this instance. P Aculeius (talk) 01:12, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

@P Aculeius: I tend to use + for related articles which are not lists or the main topic. For example in the case of Category:Ancient Roman censors the Roman censor has a space because it's the main topic, and List of censors of the Roman Republic uses a * because it's a list, using the + makes the Fasti Capitolini get listed third as a related but not essential article for the subject. Other symbols can be used for this as well, for example a lot of people use the minus (-) symbol to categorize templates. It's not a hard rule and if you prefer to use a space you are free to change it back.★Trekker (talk) 03:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi there StarTrekker, I was just wondering whether you might still consider working on the Antón Castillo draft that you have previously contributed to. I feel that Castillo is an important enough character to have his own character article.

I have attempted to contact the user GhostRiver about her helping to edit the article again, but I have not yet received a response. However, I see no harm in asking you to contribute to the article anyway.

Also, would it be a good idea to place a notification on the Video Games WikiProject to see if other editors could contribute to the article? (Oh, and by the way, thanks for the Thanks! I now feel as if I'm the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be.)

Hello StarTrekker,

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.

Saw you reverted the IP's change this afternoon. I saw it earlier and thought about the same reason you gave, but it seemed nitpicky to me. Yes, women are girls before they're women, but the article is called "naming conventions for women", not "naming conventions for females". And it's just clunky/florid referring to women and/or girls collectively as "females"; Mark Twain poked fun at James Fenimore Cooper for doing this in the nineteenth century. And of course modern distinctions are irrelevant, or we'd be wading into a minefield with questions as to whether all women and girls are female.

Perhaps this is an argument for rewording the sentences. But I think that the simpler solution is to leave it at "women" instead of trying to be technically correct in every possible sense. Also, I had it in mind that at some point this and the main article on Roman names should be merged at a better title... but that's for another time. Again, I chose not to intervene this morning because I thought the edits were probably an improvement, but I'm also not going to revert your changes if you're not convinced. Just explaining why I think they were probably okay. P Aculeius (talk) 23:07, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

I guess that's a fair argument. If someone changes it to women again I wont revert it again.★Trekker (talk) 20:25, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi. You seem to be into technical stuff, which complements me very nicely, putting it delicately towards myself. I have started the Rehovot-in-the-Negev article from a somewhat illogical redirect, created 10 yrs ago and leading to Rehoboth (Bible). Rehovot-in-the-Negev has NO connection to any of the 3 biblical Rehovot/Rehoboth items. So I feel fine about it in terms of logic. Technically... not so much, as I do know that it shouldn't be done: one puts in an application (I'm always forgetting where), they're wasting time, sometimes somebody opposes out of priciple, eventually the DAB is deleted, and then one can create the article using the vacated name. I did pay attention, have changed/updated all relevant wikilinks etc., but I'm not sure if there isn't some hidden reason why this really isn't the kosher way to do it. Is there a reason? Does some inner Wiki programme/code get confused and the whole project implodes because of me taking a shortcut?

Thanks, Arminden (talk) 21:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@Arminden: As far as I'm aware there is no strict rule against doing what you did (turning a redirect into its own article) and if you have indeed checked all the wikilinks then there shouldn't be a problem.★Trekker (talk) 21:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @StarTrekker— I was just working with the page for this obscure 3rd-century person, and saw that you’d added the line He was the last family member of an emperor to be deified posthumously, a designation I’d previously seen applied to Valerius Romulus. The fact was added at least a year ago, but do you remember from whence it originated? Since we’ve previously interacted, I figured I’d ask you directly rather than going through the article’s talk page. ManuelKomnenos (talk) 13:35, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

@ManuelKomnenos: Oh darn, I really can't remember, I must have forgotten to add a souce. If it is true that Valerius Romulus was then the line should probably be removed.★Trekker (talk) 13:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Skyerise (talk) 20:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

Late to the table, as I came here to ask about something else, and saw this. I believe there are certain cases where modifying another editor's comments is acceptable: for example, formatting errors causing broken links, re-indenting replies to place them in the proper location/order without materially affecting their contents, moving talk page references, etc. WP:OTHERSCOMMENTS provides further examples, more clearly than I could have. Fixing someone's typo may fall under the heading of "potentially irritating" at the top, but I would have to judge that on a case-by-case basis when it comes to editors who regularly interact with one another. This warning seems a bit strongly worded given the circumstances. Butting out now. P Aculeius (talk) 11:26, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I see you added the WikiProject Genealogy banner at Talk:Hostia gens. I wonder whether it makes sense to include Roman gentes under this heading, as I would not have expected to find them there. There are over a thousand articles on Roman gentes now, and while many of them mention how some members are related to one another, they were not intended to constitute genealogical topics, and most do no more than connect a few immediate family members who are so identified in the inscriptions that attest their existence. The major families sometimes do include tables (mostly against my better judgment, but other editors have added them and I did not want to fight over the subject; I also created or edited a couple), but even so the heading "genealogy" suggests a different scope and purpose than the one intended, and possibly a link with Descent from antiquity, which I regard as a very dubious field that has occasionally come into discussion in Roman articles.

Now, I don't mean to suggest for a minute that genealogy is a dubious field; I'm a genealogist myself, and perhaps there's some intersection between my interest in genealogy and that in Roman gentes and the names they used. But I try to keep these topics strictly separate—as a rule I don't even venture into genealogy on Wikipedia, though I may refer to articles on historic events or persons while working on genealogy. And I think that my concern may be motivated by worries that someone will come along and start tagging Roman gentes for deletion on the grounds that as genealogical articles they would fail general notability guidelines (in fact, even before today I've wondered whether this might happen; CGR currently has some editors who apply policy very strictly and seem to have a narrow view of what should and shouldn't be here.)

Since "Hostia gens" certainly isn't likely to show up in anyone's "descent from antiquity", it seems as though WikiProject Genealogy would apply equally to all other articles on Roman gentes, and that prospect worries me for the above reasons. Is there something I'm not aware of here? Is this a good idea? P Aculeius (talk) 11:44, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

I understand your arguments @P Aculeius:. Personally I find gentes to be of prosopographical interest, but I understand your concern over focus and genealogical notability standards. I will probably refrain from adding the project to future articles.★Trekker (talk) 15:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, StarTrekker. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Untitled Jimmy Woo series".

Hey Trekker, I don't disagree that the Universal Monsters is more than a home video line anymore, but it does not mean it isn't one. I feel as if this edit edit, suggests otherwise. I don't really want to debate it, but I don't think this category limits it. Up to you, but I just want to assume this wasn't removed from spite or anything. We should also probably add Category:Image Comics titles as well for the comic books. Thoughts? Andrzejbanas (talk) 00:56, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Personally I find it to be non-defining. While there are several home video lines (some of which might deserve articles of their own considering that they have won awards) I don't think the concept as a whole can be considered a home video line, it's simply to narrow. For the same reason I don't agree with adding any comics categories to the article either, such categories belong either on articles for the comics or on redirects if the series are not notable enough for their own articles. It is absolutely not a mater of spite, I hold no resentment towards you at all! I very much admire an appreciate a lot of work you have done on horror articles on Wikipedia. (I just think you have an odd problem with this specific subject).★Trekker (talk) 12:07, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Good points.I think Universal Monsters is probably a bigger concept than home videos or comics as the article goes into that now. my heart is more interested in content than esoteric categorization at the moment. Thanks for the kind words too. I've been having a lot of self-doubts about my actions or inaction as if late so it's really good to hear something not entirely negative. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:24, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

While checking the sources for Nymphidia, I looked for epigraphy before finding the Plutarch reference in PIR, and found this sepulchral inscription from Tarraco in Hispania Citerior: "D(is) M(anibus) / Nymphidiae / Callistus / contub(ernali) aman/tissimae de se me/ritae fecit". It's undated, but the juxtaposition of "Nymphidia" and "Callistus" seems unlikely to be a coincidence. Perhaps it accounts for the confusion about how they were connected.

But assuming that Plutarch is right, and that Callistus' daughter was named "Nymphidia", might this be her mother, buried in Spain? Of course what you or I think is irrelevant in itself, but if you've been working on these persons or their family, perhaps one of your sources was aware of this inscription. It would certainly be relevant to the "origins" section if a scholarly source is even willing to speculate on it, though without one I doubt the wisdom of mentioning it, as tempting as it seems to draw such a connection. P Aculeius (talk) 20:53, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

This is amazing @P Aculeius:! I never cease to be impressed by your ability to find and navigate epigraphs! And I'm inclined to agree, I think it's very plausible that this is indeed Nymphidia ("the Elder") the mother of Nymphidia the mother of Gaius Nymphidius Sabinus. I tried googling around to find any mention of it in literature but it doesn't seem like any reliable source has made the connection. Too bad.★Trekker (talk) 23:01, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

It's mainly a matter of knowing how to enter the right stems in the search window of the Clauss–Slaby Datenbank, then narrow down the results using the browser's search window. In this case, I searched for "Nymphidi" knowing that that would pick up any inscriptions that were known for anyone in this gens; it would have been harder with a much more common name, since fifty-odd inscriptions came up. Then I searched the results for "Callist", and spotted this one right away.

My theory was that the relationship was established by epigraphy, which would be cited in PIR, but I thought I'd check the C–S Datenbank first since countless inscriptions have been uncovered or re-evaluated since PIR was published. But since the inscription didn't support the original text, I double-checked PIR to see what it was based on, and found the citation to Plutarch (not sure why I didn't cite that to begin with, but it was cited in the following entry). I don't know if the original entry was wrong because the relationship was misstated in my source, or if I saw the inscription and had a mental slip with "contubernalis". Probably the former, but I didn't try to track down every possible explanation.

Thank you for keeping an eye on Roman gentes, and correcting mistakes when you find them! P Aculeius (talk) 23:49, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I saw you removing my proposal for deletion on some one-liner articles like Graffiti in Boston, saying that the article being short is not a reason for deletion. But the problem is also notability - by this measure, every city in the world could have a similar article, because every city has at least a few news articles discussing graffiti. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 10:45, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

@Notcharizard: I agree that could be somewhat problematic, but I would regard it as a larger issue of Wikipedia in general, by our current GNG one could argue that every city should have an article like that, similar to how there are dozens of article like marriage in Spain (marriage in location foo) that consist of a broad topic and a location. Maybe a solution could be to merge the small articles into a larger one like Art in Boston.★Trekker (talk) 11:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

There is graffiti in the United States which is a nice article I'd be happy to try and add in some state sections that the smaller city articles could be merged into (I'm not from the USA so would need to do some background research first). I've genuinely tried to do some research into graffiti in those towns as graffiti a topic I'm interested in, but it's difficult to find anything to build an article on that's not generic. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 11:11, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

@Notcharizard: It's a decent idea, but one might argue that graffiti in the United States is almost too broad to include all the information on each city, but on the other hand if all the information is very generic as you say, a lot of it might be able to be condensed into the US article. A couple of merge discussions (or a centralised on on the US article talk page) might be best, in that way the original creator might want to explain if they have a plan to expand these articles or if a merge is for the best.★Trekker (talk) 14:06, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

That makes sense - thank you for the advice, and thank you for explaining so clearly and kindly! It is very appreciated. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 14:24, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Category:Box sets requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013 January 3#Category:Box set albums. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I see you're currently active on the project, so as a courtesy, I'm letting you know about a non-free file you uploaded. Non-free files are supposed to be subject to strict scrutiny. It's obvious that the editors who specialize in that area are derelict in their duty, however. For a file of this type, the standard has been to discourage including this content simply to pretty up an article, that the existence of sourced critical commentary is necessary to accompany the image. I went through as many links as I could find on the relevant articles and only found mere mentions in blog posts. If you know of better sources, feel free to add them before the file is deleted. Thank you for your attention in this matter. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 19:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Wrestler Stu Hart wearing an amateur wrestling championship belt, sometime between 1933 and 1936.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on File:Michael Hannah, Lost Years album cover.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.

I would personally advise not to use the 'wiki-jargon' like WP:GNG when responding to new user's comments, as you did on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rock music#requested article. I would recommend explaining how the notability process works in general instead, like at the Teahouse. That's all, thanks! —Sparkle and Fade (talk • contributions) 03:09, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Bliss Powerpuff Girl.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 999real (talk) 16:02, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

I saw you added special characters to "List of Roman dictators" (*) and "Fasti Triumphales" (+), and was wondering why. They had a space as the sort key so that they would come at the top of their categories. Now they're in a hierarchy of symbols—asterisks come before pluses, both come after spaces—is there a particular plan involved here? I generally stick to spaces when sorting things to the top, and if there are multiple top items, leave them in alphabetical order (but there aren't likely to be more than a handful of top items in most categories). P Aculeius (talk) 14:56, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

• @P Aculeius: Asterix is as far as I'm aware the standard for lists, while the main article usually uses blank space. I used + for the fasti because the other fasti article in the category was sorted with a +, so it was mainly for consistency.★Trekker (talk) 16:35, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

The article Reginald Long (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Hello, StarTrekker,

First, you really need to archive the old messages on your User talk page. It's gotten way too big and unwieldy for easy navigation. Would you consider archiving older discussions?

Second, I saw you referenced in a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. I don't know if you saw it so I'm bringing it to your attention in case you wanted to respond.

Hope you are having a good summer! Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:22, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

I noticed you previously proposed deletions of articles by User:PeterLGreen1996 so I would appreciate your comments on the delete I proposed.

Also do you think maybe the editor to who created the page The Craft (film series) is a sock puppet? Maybe User:PeterLGreen1996 only copied a draft from User:DisneyMetalhead or maybe they're the same person because they are both creating creating superfluous new film series articles, not only ignoring WP:FILMSERIES but also ignoring really old really simple guidelines like unnecessary use of ampersands MOS:AMP (a mistake I notice you corrected) and unnecessary smallfont MOS:SMALLFONT. -- 109.76.194.98 (talk) 11:37, 12 August 2025 (UTC)

I'm quite familiar with DisneyMetalhead and I do not believe they're a sockpuppet. I have no real strong thoughts about the article really, but I agree with the editor who said that redirecting it would probably be fine.★Trekker (talk) 10:15, 13 August 2025 (UTC)

Ok thanks. The edits seemed weirdly coincidental to me, so I wanted a second opinion. Without a high level of confidence I'm not going to even try and go anywhere near the wiki admin process, it all just seems too complicated.

Thanks for cleaning up the redirect too. -- 109.76.128.25 (talk) 14:11, 13 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.

I see you have access to this page. It's been awhile since I did any editing here, and apparently my >2,000 edits is insufficient for me to add to the Talk page for Killing of Renee Good. So I'm sharing my observation with you. If there's any merit to my observation you can share it on that talk page as you see fit.

My observation is the articles current bulleted statement saying "Ross stepped in front of Good's vehicle" is probably incorrect and likely should be modified. There are sources cited for the comment, but yesterday I happened upon a well-known YouTuber (a lawyer) who showed how one publicly available video shows that Officer Ross did not step "in front of Good's vehicle", but, rather, as he showed in and opined of the publicly available video, it was Good's relocation of her vehicle that placed Officer Ross in front of her SUV. You can see this at time stamp 9:33 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDda-L_ZOE8&t=600s&pp=ygUPbmF0ZSB0aGUgbGF3eWVy

It's been so long since I edited here on Wikipedia, and assuming changes over time, I don't know current Wikipedia rules on use of a source such as the verbal journalism shared by a YouTuber. I'm sharing this info here hoping you know what to do with it. Thanks. Marvin Shilmer (talk) 19:49, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Hey, I just realized that a lot of our common interests really overlapped! I figured with a name like yours they would, but it's always fun to find another fan of the Aliens franchise - have you read The Cold Forge? That's like my favorite book of all of them. Phalanx is a close second, though. Also, have you ever read Dungeon Crawler Carl? Super recommend, if not and if it seems like something you'd like. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:33, 23 January 2026 (UTC)

That's so cool that we have so many of the same interests @ReaderofthePack:! Sadly I havn't read any of the Alien novels or Dungeon Crawler Carl, and honestly it's been a long time since I've taken the time to read a novel, I'm always so bussy with reading school material these days. I havn't even listened to the Alien 3 podcast yet and I've been planning to do that for forever. 😩 ★Trekker (talk) 16:35, 24 January 2026 (UTC)

Oh, I'm going to have to check that podcast out - is that its name?

I definitely understand school taking up all of the time, though. It was bad during my undergraduate but I didn't really understand how bad it got until I did my master's. It ended up seriously trashing my ability to sink into a book like I was prior to college. When I do read, it's often Google Translated light novels from Syosetsu or audiobooks. ReaderofthePack(formerly Tokyogirl79) (｡◕‿◕｡) 15:44, 26 January 2026 (UTC)

@ReaderofthePack: The podcast is called Alien 3 it's an adaptation of an unproduced script for a third Alien film, it stars Michael Biehn and Lance Henricksen!★Trekker (talk) 23:10, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
