- We'll never never know which role that played ... - I supported then. - 9 March: the premiere of Nabucco, va pensiero ... - I always wanted to go to that theatre where Idomeneo premiered, and they played Mozart! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:22, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Rossini's Petite messe solennelle was premiered on 14 March 1864, - when I listen to the desolate Agnus Dei I think of Vami. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 22:55, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- I uploaded vacation pics (from back home), at least the first day, - and remember Aribert Reimann. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:09, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333, I see you removed the CSD tag at KLGB-LP which is fine, however your rationale that radio stations are ineligible for A7 I don't think is supported by the relevant CSD policy which states A7 does not apply to "articles about albums (these may be covered by CSD A9), products, books, films, TV programs, software, or other creative works, nor to entire species of animals" - no mention of radio stations there. AusLondonder ( talk) 15:47, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- I think potentially this could be a redirect to somewhere else, but I'm not sure whether that should be a talk page discussion, an AfD, or some bold action. In any case, a straight unilateral deletion without discussion probably isn't appropriate. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
Question from Modelex (15:55, 27 March 2024)
Hi Richie, I want to publish my sandbox page on the British School of Monaco onto Wikipedia - I can't see any 'move' button, or even a button to have it checked by an expert. What do I need to do, please? Best wishes, Luke -- Modelex ( talk) 15:55, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello Ritchie333,
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.

I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed), and I also made it my story. How do you like the compromise in the composer's infobox? - How do you like the statue (look up places)? - I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:41, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Today I see Marian Anderson as my top story (by NBC, 1939), and below (on my talk) three people with raised arms, - and the place is the cherry blossom in Frauenstein. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
plum tree blossom for Kalevi Kiviniemi in the snow - see my talk -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:04, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
today a sad task - memory of Andrew Davis - turned into entertainment (yt at the bottom of his article, actually both) -- the latest pictures capture extreme weather -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Captchaedits (19:25, 8 April 2024)
Hello sir guide me how to unprotect an article which is semi or extended protected? -- Captchaedits ( talk) 19:25, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
- You need to go to Requests for page protection, where there are instructions to get a page unprotected. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:38, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello
Ritchie333, out of all the GA mentors you're the only one who specializes in music which is what I'm here for. I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask for your help in walking me through the reviewal process as I'm looking forward to nominating
Tyla and reviewing
Blackpink but I'm scared of initiating a review (I have read the reviewer instructions). I've recently stated participating in the
WP:ITN,
WP:AFI, and
WP:DYK and I wish to expand to obviously lower the immense backlogs. I'll be on the lookout for your response 
Thank you. dxneo (

- Hi, unfortunately I'm absolutely snowed under with other things right now and I won't be able to address this for a couple of weeks - are you okay to hold on?

Hi Ritchie! Thryduulf and I are contemplating taking a trip across the length of the East Coastway and Marshlink lines possibly this Saturday or the following Monday, depending on weather/trains/significant others. Just wondered if you fancied joining us for any part of the journey or for a quick pint at the Ashford end? Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:03, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm around on Saturday until about 5pm. For obvious reasons, I'll follow up the discussion privately. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Trinitywonders (06:23, 26 April 2024)
Hello, how do I add an image? -- Trinitywonders ( talk) 06:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- ( talk page watcher) @ Trinitywonders: You would use the File Upload Wizard. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
