Technical news

Hello Rosiestep,
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.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

A few more pics, now from back home, a bird family ;) - listened live to a fascinating woman conducting "her" orchestra which now has an article -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:39, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Wow,
Gerda Arendt:
"Lyniv is the first female conductor to be named music director of an Italian opera house."
! -- Rosiestep ( talk) 11:48, 4 April 2024 (UTC)- yes, and the first to conduct at the Bayreuth Festival possibly even more sensational, and then she comes and speaks in lovely German on the cause of her youth orchestra, and conducts with great economy of movements, - not a show but serving the music, - did you look at a video? -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 12:21, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- I like to see Appalachian Spring on the Main page today (not by me, just interested and reviewed, - and the woman behind it pictured, not the man, and I'm proud of that little bit), and I also made it my story. - How do you like the statue (look up places - no cat) - I was undecided so show three versions ;) -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 16:18, 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) 16:32, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- I have never listened to Marian Anderson previously, but now I shall. Cherry blossoms are so beautiful! --

- thank you! - My story today is about a piece composed for the Second Sunday after Easter 300 years ago, and I just returned from a (long) opera about the same age, with soprano Pretty Yende -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 23:18, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
