Hello Hawkeye7,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly
explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your
common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

I noted with interest that your bot MilHistBot today awarded a start-class automatic assessment in the WikiProject Military history, apparently for allegedly failing the B1 (insufficient referencing) and B2 (gaps) criteria. I wonder if you would care to comment, and especially point out instances of insufficient referencing and insufficient coverage of the subject. Or could it be that your bot itself leaves something to desire? Ereunetes ( talk) 19:03, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
One more question. I first started the Dutch States Army article back in 2010 (see the revision history). Since then I have more or less lost track of it till very recently. I have a vague memory of a talk-page that was fairly busy. But maybe my memory is tricking me, because right now the only activity recorded is very recent, except for the B-class rating for the WikiProject Netherlands that dates back to August 2011 (!). So according to the revision history everything was quiet till on 14 January 2023 suddenly the WikiProject History was added to the top of the page. That seems like an extraordinary time lag to me. Has the article really remained under the radar for Military History for such a long time? Or has something happened to the revision history of this talk-page? I am sure the invitation to open a discussion that was at the top of the page was only recently added, as this is a relatively new feature. But that revision is not shown in the revision history. Do you happen to know what may have been going on here? I am a pure ingenue as far as Wikipedia administration is concerned-- Ereunetes ( talk) 07:57, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
Hey there – hope you're doing well. I recently nominated AFL Women's season seven as a WP:GAN#SPORT (I noticed you nominated the grand final article as well – keen to hopefully see more AFLW and related articles reach the level in the coming years), and just thought I'd reach out to see if you might have time to perform the review, if interested; if not, though, totally understand.

I had been waiting for a new hook on this one but I see it got promoted Preparation area 5. It looks like Leeky also had some questions in the nomination. Generally hooks are not promoted when there is a symbol other than green. File:Symbol possible vote.svg. I think it should be unprompted because the hook is not about the bot.

The article Bonnie J. Dunbar you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Bonnie J. Dunbar and Talk:Bonnie J. Dunbar/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Dear, thanks for your quick reaction in the article American transportation in the Siegfried Line campaign. I am fully willing to believe that the sources mention "Bassin Albert", however that is then simply wrong. It suffices to look at any map - check https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/197920661#map=15/51.2537/4.4047 for just one example - to see that the real correct local name is "Albertdok"; which I translated to English "Albert Dock" and I still hold that to be correct, since it is and was the correct local name. I can well imagine how the confusion arose, though: at the time, the Belgian military was largely dominated by French speakers (that's historical, and an interesting but sad story) and I can well imagine that the Belgian officers, with whom the Allied commmanders would normally communicate, gave the name in French, even if that was not the local denomination. The misnomer is explainable and understandable, still it remains a misnomer. And yes, cultures and languages in Europe are a complicated and delicate matter, sorry for that, it was not my doing :) Jan olieslagers ( talk) 10:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
In British English, a dock is an enclosed area of water used for loading, unloading, building or repairing ships. Such a dock may be created by building enclosing harbour walls into an existing natural water space, or by excavation within what would otherwise be dry land.But
In American English, dock is technically synonymous with pier or wharf—any human-made structure in the water intended for people to be on.The article is in American English, and so I (again following the sources) translated "bassin" as "basin" in several places. (My brother-in-law's folks come from Friesland but neither he nor they speak Dutch.) Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:34, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
The article Bonnie J. Dunbar you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Bonnie J. Dunbar for comments about the article, and Talk:Bonnie J. Dunbar/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:
The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, Trainsandotherthings, Lee Vilenski, Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, SounderBruce, Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. Sturmvogel 66 and Cwmhiraeth.

Hi Hawkeye7, I recently came across a clear contradiction in the artcles on the ALP and Chris Watson. The ALP lead says he supported federation, but the Chris Watson lead says he opposed it, both without cites. My knowledge of Australian history would barely fill Captain Cook's bicorne, but I don't think we should have a contradiction like that in two articles on important topics. I know you mainly do military history, but could you take a look at the messages I left on the edit pages? Thanks, Mr Serjeant Buzfuz ( talk) 01:08, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi. I agree that 'further reading' is for books not cited in the text. But the section listing items that are cited in the text is entitled 'References' (see this article for example Joseph Banks).

Admiral Murray was a very important WW2 Admiral - not just my opinion - he was the only Canadian to command a theatre of war in WW2, and he is hoping to get to FA status in the next month. In time for the anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic. I am trying to get a good peer review going before nominating for FA, and I really need an experienced peer reviewer who knows military history (not necessarily Canadian though). I would be most grateful if you could review the article and suggest improvements of any sort (we think it is pretty good already but an experienced second opinion is super helpful).

Aye, Hawkeye. I went ahead and restored the original infobox that has been in use for some time. As I think you agree, we should have more than a passing, day old, marginal consensus to make the sort of change proposed --by an editor with an apparent Single-purpose account who has a history of making veiled statements with this sort of thing.

He also flew the Gemini 12 mission with Buzz Aldrin, who is two years younger. Lovell was part of the Next Nine group of astronauts selected in 1962 that also included Neil Armstrong, and he was Armstrong's backup for the Apollo 11 mission. Today he is probably best known for his unsuccessful final mission, Apollo 13, which was made into the 1995 film Apollo 13, in which he appeared."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 08:33, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Hawkeye7, are you aware that the diff that FACBot provides when closing a nomination sometimes compares an old version of a nomination with itself? for example, in this diff, FACBot provides this diff, which shows no difference between the two versions compared because they are the same version of the fac nomination. if this was the intended behaviour, please ignore me. dying ( talk) 15:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

I've gone ahead with the re-nomination of the James Madison article. There is a rewritten Slavery section now per some of your comments from 2 months ago.

Hi, I recently put Maurice Suckling back up for ACR after my last attempt was hijacked by enforced absence. I've clearly done something wrong with the nomination as it hasn't turned up on the review page. Any ideas what? Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe ( talk) 16:44, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
You accused me of making an unconstructive edit when I was merely correcting an error in a date field in an article I stumbled across.

The second round of the 2023 WikiCup has now finished. Contestants needed to have scored 60 points to advance into round 3. Our top five scorers in round 2 all included a featured article among their submissions and each scored over 500 points. They were:
Other notable performances were put in by Sammi Brie, Thebiguglyalien, MyCatIsAChonk, PCN02WPS, and AirshipJungleman29.
So far contestants have achieved thirteen featured articles between them, one being a joint effort, and forty-nine good articles. The judges are pleased with the thorough reviews that are being performed, and have hardly had to reject any. As we enter the third round, remember that any content promoted after the end of round 2 but before the start of round 3 can be claimed in round 3. Remember too that you must claim your points within 14 days of "earning" them.
If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article nominations, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed (remember to remove your listing when no longer required). Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

This is to let you know that the American logistics in the Normandy campaign article has been scheduled as today's featured article for the anniversary date July 24, 2023. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page blurb, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/July 24, 2023, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so. If you wish to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article, you can do so at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/July 2023.

Hey, Hawkeye7. I'd like to wish you a wonderful First Edit Day on behalf of the
Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day! Mann Mann ( talk) 02:38, 19 June 2023 (UTC) |
Hello Hawkeye7,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.
Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.
You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.
Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 6 June 2023. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 2023, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/June 2023. I suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from two days before it appears on the Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work!— Wehwalt ( talk) 13:34, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

Since you caught that moment of "where am I?" I'd like to invite you to where it was meant to go, the talk page of Barbenheimer, where discussion of the opening image is occurring. I've never done that before, although I edit on pages sometimes while looking for information. Please come by and improve the page as well, this article and discussions are fun edits.

Iron Gwazi passed its FAC! Although I am a primary contributor to the article, your involvement was just as significant. The road to FA relies on community consensus and voluntary commentary. You dedicated your time and skills to help improve the article to its current condition. Without your input, the article would not have reached its status quo. You are a significant contributor! Whether you are a one-time commenter or contribute to other GA, PR, or FA candidates, I hereby award Hawkeye7 with the Teamwork Barnstar! Thank you for your efforts to improve the Iron Gwazi article.

My wife and I just saw the new movie Oppenheimer this evening. I highly recommend it. Since I did B-class reviews on some of your "mad scientist" articles, I was able to recognize some of the principals involved that most people probably never heard of: Leslie Groves, Hans Bethe, Vannevar Bush, Ernest Lawrence, Edward Teller, Enrico Fermi, and the traitor Karl Fuchs. Who was the female secretary-assistant that you wrote an article about? I think she was in there too. Djmaschek ( talk) 04:10, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Hawkeye7 - Re your reversion of my alteration to British logistics in the Normandy Campaign I did not say that the opening of the harbour approaches was not necessary, but had emphasized that while Antwerp was captured on 26 June the port was not open until the approaches had been captured on 29 November. Hence Monty’s delaying of the capture of the Scheldt by the Canadians with his preoccupation with Market Garden affected Allied logistics, and allowed the Germans to bring up reinforcements! Admiral Ramsay had pointed out that Antwerp would be as much use as Timbuktu without the opening of the approaches. Hugo999 ( talk) 04:33, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

High praise from The New Yorker! [124]
Leaving the theatre after seeing “Oppenheimer,” I was tempted to call it a movie-length Wikipedia article. But, after a look online, I realized I was giving Wikipedia too little credit—or Christopher Nolan, the movie’s writer and director, too much. A simple fact-heavy article about J. Robert Oppenheimer, the physicist whose leadership of the Manhattan Project, during the Second World War, produced the atom bomb, turns out to offer more complexity and more enticing detail than Nolan’s script does. And it has more to say about the movie’s essential themes—the ironies and perils that arise when science, ambition, and political power mix—than the movie itself does.

Hello, in the lead section of the article American logistics in the Normandy Campaign, you reverted my edit - placing a citation needed tag on the sentence “no one expected that it would.” I placed that tag there because it seemed to be very opinionated and was not backed up by any cited sources. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks! JuxtaposedJacob ( talk) 17:18, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Hawkeye, didn't there use to be some sort of preload text when you created an a-class review nomination? I went through the process of starting an a-class review at Talk:John Bullock Clark, and when I went to create the nomination page through the MILHIST wikiproject template, it came up as a blank page. I'm also not seeing the link back to the a-class review page that use to be there on any of the existing nomination pages - did anything change with how ACRs are created? Hog Farm Talk 20:13, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Hawkeye7, i had a quick question regarding this blurb for this article. the blurb states that parsons "became the deputy commander of the Armed Forces Special Weapons Project". is the use of the definite article before "deputy commander" appropriate here? i noticed that the article lead uses neither a definite article nor an indefinite article before "deputy commander", and am not sure why there is a discrepancy. the article body states that parsons and roscoe c. wilson were deputies of commander leslie groves, and is worded in such a way to suggest that parsons and wilson both served as deputies simultaneously, so i had been thinking of either dropping the definite article to conform with the article lead, or replacing it with the indefinite article if the original reason for the use of the definite article in the blurb was a desire to use an article before "deputy commander". dying ( talk) 01:53, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

I saw your comments at Pppery's RFA. If you haven't already seen it, I thought you might be interested in the discussion at WT:TFA#Enough is enough, which (though sort of stalled) seems to be leading to a proactive semi-protection of the TFA. Although maybe that discussion is what initiated your comments.
I think the back and forth at the RFA might be due to a lack of clarity of terms; when you say "admins uphold the right of vandals to attack the front page by refusing to protect it", obviously vandals can't edit the front page, including the TFA blurb; they can (currently) edit the TFA article itself, but that isn't on the front page, it's just linked from there. In fact, no article linked from the front page is automatically protected. The TFA section of the main page is protected exactly the same as the other sections.
Finally, gently, I'm a little taken aback by the claims that "admins" uphold the right of vandals ... by refusing to protect it. In my experience, the occasional proposal to automatically protect it was supported by a majority of admins, but was opposed by a majority of non-admins, who saw it as a slippery slope to eventually increase the number of pages that are fully protected. It's unfair to blame admins for following the will of the community as a whole. Maybe you were blaming "admins" at the RFA to make your point, but it's inaccurate, and (in my own case) somewhat insulting. If you want to blame the community for "upholding the rights of vandals", that's slightly more on point, but still pretty unfair and insulting. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 22:57, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Hawkeye7,
Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Hawkeye7, i had a quick question regarding this article. the statement that uranium-233 "has a higher number of neutrons per fission event" [link removed] compared to uranium-235 thoroughly confused me, as i had believed that uranium-235 had two more neutrons than uranium-233, regardless of any fission events. after looking through the cited borowski source, i realized that what was of interest was that uranium-233 had a "large ν-value", where ν is defined on page 6 as "the average number of neutrons (both prompt and delayed) released per fission reaction".
would it be proper to replace "higher number of neutrons" with "higher average number of neutrons released", or perhaps just "higher number of neutrons released"? admittedly, i am not a nuclear physicist, so i don't know if how the passage is currently worded is reflective of the literature, but i thought i might make the suggestion to help prevent others like me from being confused. dying ( talk) 00:57, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Hawkeye. I am looking at scheduling British logistics in the Western Allied invasion of Germany on 30 November. Do you fancy generating a blurb? Gog the Mild ( talk) 21:14, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello, congratulations on getting NERVA to FA status. I went to the main page with the hopes of finding a good-quality article to use as a model and I found the one you wrote. I recently wrote this article [168], I've edited for years but only recently switched to the sfn template system. That article I've linked had a big number of newspaper citations despite initially believing I'd mostly write the article based on journals, so for the first time I applied sfn on some sources and the normal etiquettes <ref></ref> on others. Your FA also has variation, so my question was the following.
Could you explain to me when is sfn applied? As I understand it is used for journals and books, or for citations with pages. I don't know which one of the two. In my article there's two cited pageless journals, one is self-published (reference 16) and another is I believe a peer-reviewed journal (reference 5). I did not use sfn on the first but I did on the second. Would this be appropriate? Sorry for randomly coming here asking for help, hopefully you can lend me a hand.

The fourth round of the competition has finished, with anyone scoring less than 673 points being eliminated. It was a high scoring round with all but one of the contestants who progressed to the final having achieved an FA during the round. The highest scorers were
Between them during round 4, contestants achieved 12 featured articles, 3 featured lists, 3 featured pictures, 126 good articles, 46 DYK entries, 14 ITN entries, 67 featured article candidate reviews and 147 good article reviews. Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated! It was a generally high-scoring and productive round and I think we can expect a highly competitive finish to the competition.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of round 4 but before the start of round 5 can be claimed in round 5.

The article 2023 AFL Grand Final you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:2023 AFL Grand Final for comments about the article, and Talk:2023 AFL Grand Final/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article has never appeared on the Main Page as a "Did you know" item, and has not appeared within the last year either as "Today's featured article", or as a bold link under "In the news" or in the "On this day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear at DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On this day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

my story today |

Thank you today for Howard Florey, about "the scientist who led the team that developed penicillin. They developed techniques for growing, purifying and manufacturing the drug, determined its chemical and physical structure, discovered how it worked, tested it for toxicity and efficacy on animals, and carried out the first clinical trials. The development of antibiotics revolutionised medicine and agriculture. His discoveries are estimated to have saved over 80 million lives, and earned him a share of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945."! - Thanks also for the other great achievements just on this page! - Did you know that the image in your edit notice doesn't show? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:45, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
I am learning from the assessments and further comments on the History of military logistics review. It seems I need some catching up to do get up to speed on what is required for a review or various aspects of it. Great article. Trivial aside: I have a copy of the American Civil War railroad photo in the article, which I framed. Donner60 ( talk) 03:45, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
This looks to be misplaced, somehow. I would have moved it, but trying to edit the full source of a large page makes my phone unhappy. ScottishFinnishRadish ( talk) 01:07, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello Hawkeye7:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long
Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
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.
This is not constructive at all. It doesn't agree with the way anyone else on WP is writing, it's introducing confusing case inconsistency in the same page, it's WP:MEATBOT unconstructive and very unnecessary twiddling with code for no reader benefit of any kind, and multiple editors are reverting you. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 09:21, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Links are not sensitive to initial capitalization, so there is no need to use the pipe character where the case of the initial letter is the only difference between the link text and the target page.Hawkeye7 (discuss) 18:49, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
On 5 November 2023, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Ken Mattingly, which you nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Step hen 03:59, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
The WikiCup is a marathon rather than a sprint and all those reaching the final round have been involved in the competition for the last ten months, improving Wikipedia vastly during the process. After all this hard work, BeanieFan11 has emerged as the 2023 winner and the WikiCup Champion. The finalists this year were:-
Congratulations to everyone who participated in this year's WikiCup, whether they made it to the final round or not, and particular congratulations to the newcomers to the competition, some of whom did very well. Wikipedia has benefitted greatly from the quality creations, expansions and improvements made, and the numerous reviews performed. All those who reached the final round will win awards. The following special awards will be made based on high performance in particular areas of content creation and review. Awards will be handed out in the next few days.
The WikiCup has run every year since 2007. With the 2023 contest now concluded, I will be standing down as a judge due to real life commitments, so I hope that another editor will take over running the competition. Please get in touch if you are interested. Next year's competition will hopefully begin on 1 January 2024. You are invited to sign up to participate in the contest; the WikiCup is open to all Wikipedians, both novices and experienced editors. It only remains to congratulate our worthy winners once again and thank all participants for their involvement!

The article 2017 IWBF Asia-Oceania Championships has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. This article relies almost entirely on associated (non-independent) sources).
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.

This is to let you know that the above article has been scheduled as today's featured article for 10 December 2023. Please check that the article needs no amendments. Feel free to amend the draft blurb, which can be found at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/December 2023, or to make comments on other matters concerning the scheduling of this article at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/December 2023. Please keep an eye on that page, as comments regarding the draft blurb may be left there by user:dying, who assists the coordinators by making suggestions on the blurbs, or by others. I also suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from two days before the article appears on the Main Page. Thanks and congratulations on your work! Also note that Oppenheimer security hearing will appear on December 17, 2023, same caution.— Wehwalt ( talk) 21:41, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm wondering why you changed capitalization at least twice, [196] [197] once after being reverted and the edit explained. [198] (Others have now fixed it.) I hope you haven't been doing this elsewhere. I have never seen that done, and that is not the way we do it.

Thank you today for your share of Alan Shepard, introduced (in 2017): "This article is about Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and one of twelve men to walk on the moon."! - Nice to see him on his birthday! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 09:23, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
... and today for British logistics in the Western Allied invasion of Germany, introduced: "The concluding article in the series on British logistics in the campaign in North West Europe in 1944-1945, taking the story down to the conclusion of the war in Europe. (Its American counterpart is still in the works.) For some reason the campaigns of 1945 has not been covered in the literature or the Wikipedia nearly as well as those of 1944. Once again though, I have uncovered some striking images and maps and high quality sources."! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 07:45, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Hey Hawkeye, long time no see. I'm continually amazed that railways in warfare and railways in World War I are red links. I have quite a few books on the subject but mostly focusing on the UK and all in English. I'm not sure I could do it justice. As our resident expert in military logistics, do you have any thoughts? Does the material you have on logistics in general cover railways? How would you go about writing something like that from a global perspective? Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:48, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello from the former colony on the other side of the world! I'm about to embark on my first GA review and thought I'd enlist your help. The article in question is Secret Empire (1974 comic). Given the dreadful state of comic articles on WP, I was especially impressed by this one. Meets all the criteria from where I'm sitting, except that a couple of the sources may be questionable. I'd love your input and help with the process. Ta! Just Another Cringy Username ( talk) 03:09, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
The article is only a couple weeks old. Is that long enough to meet the stability criteria? Can an article be considered "stable" if it's only been online for two weeks w/ no chance for other editors to improve it?
Despite being new, the article has already been assessed as C Class by its own author. I didn't think editors were allowed to review their own articles and I'm not sure if I should accept the editor's assertion as a legitimate assessment. Said author/editor claimed they did it "as a placeholder" and admitted that nothing has been done to the article since then. If that's the case and if we accept the author's assessment, I'm tempted to say the article does not meet GA criteria, since nothing's been done to improve it since being assessed.
My tentative is to WP:GAN/I#HOLD the nom, but do I have grounds? Just Another Cringy Username ( talk) 22:34, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

You may have seen this already -- but if not, Brill have just published a new companion to diet and logistics in Greek and Roman warfare. I haven't checked but should be available via TWL. Much of it seems to be about what soldiers ate, but Part 3 is dedicated to how they got that food out to the armies, and looks at Persia as well as Greece and Rome themselves.

Thank you today for Oppenheimer security hearing, introduced (in 2015): "This article is about Robert Oppenheimer's 1954 security hearing, which resulted in his Q clearance being revoked.
