Move Wiki Loves Africa project 2023 from Wikipedia sandbox to metapage sandbox

Hello AngusWOOF, Thank you first of all for moving WLA 2023 to Wikipedia Sandbox, and I am now working safely to the page, but I would like to ask you if metapage has sandbox? I tried to find the sandbox of metapage but in vain, if it exist, is there any possibility to move the page Wiki Love Africa 2023 from Wikipedia Sandbox to metapage Sandbox?? Because that page which I am creating is a metapage not wikipedia article.

Please I need your help

Thank you Cnyirahabihirwe123 (talk) 07:14, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello , I got the link to create a metapage in sandbox, Perhaps we must do it manually, I am working on it, and thank you very much

Have a nice day Cnyirahabihirwe123 (talk) 07:40, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Cnyirahabihirwe123, I'm not sure how to move stuff to wikimeta, maybe you can ask one of the admins there? AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:24, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request on 16:20:27, 19 December 2022 for assistance on AfC submission by Smecomplete

- Draft:Daniel White (real estate developer) (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Just looking for more feedback on a recent article that was kicked back. It said it read like a LinkedIn page. That being said, this person is of interest due to their business ventures, which is why it would be similar to LinkedIn. There are references to the individuals sports and college career, however, there is not as much coverage there as there is on their business ventures so more of the emphasis is on that. There are a number of very reliable sources including Business Journals, Omaha Times and others that are on there which I would think are relevant.

Smecomplete (talk) 16:20, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Smecomplete, I was thinking more of articles that focused on White's life and career, where he grew up, went to school, first few jobs, how he became famous. Less of the press release stuff or ones where he is just quoted in a byline. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:23, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So I've only become aware of the subject due to his business dealings and these are how he's become a person of interest. He has a European Hockey background but not a ton of references there outside of "HockeyFights.com" which isn't the best citation and also has his birth place and date incorrectly listed. Also, I can't see why a person's early life would dictate the importance of their business endeavors since then? I've come across literally 20 businesses owned by this guy, one of the largest homes in LA and more - all pretty worthy subjects. I appreciate the pointers though and anything else you could provide would be great! Smecomplete (talk) 16:49, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merry Christmas!

	Merry Christmas, AngusWOOF
	Or Season's Greetings or Happy Winter Solstice! As the year winds to a close, I would like to take a moment to recognize your hard work and offer heartfelt gratitude for all you do for Wikipedia. May this Holiday Season bring you and yours nothing but joy, health and prosperity. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 20:07, 20 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Onel5969! Great interacting with you on discord too! Merry Xmas! :) AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:21, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mayor Max

I know you declined my request to have an article about Mayor Max III on Wikipedia. However, I noticed you also seggusted we added a general article about all three Mayor Max's (Mayor Max (dog)). Could we discuss some ideas for this proposed article? Thank you! JordanJa🎮es92🐱9 (wanna play?) Wikipedia ⭐ 22:24, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A general article could cover all three dogs and any future dogs still under this scheme, and then Max II would merge to that one. If a different animal becomes mayor then it could be renamed as Mayor of Idylwild, (county), California AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 00:35, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is it okay if I edit Mayor Max II as such then move the article to Mayor Max (dog)? JordanJa🎮es92🐱9 (wanna play?) Wikipedia ⭐ 19:38, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That would work too. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 22:46, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Pigment articles

Hello! It looks as though the discussion of splitting off zinc white from zinc oxide has quieted down. Do you think it would be appropriate to move forward with the split? I also created drafts for titanium white and lead white that can be split off from their associated chemical articles. Thanks for your perspective. Owunsch (talk) 18:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello AngusWOOF,

Backlog

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.

2022 Awards

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.

Declined article - Sheila Voas

Can I ask what count as reliable sources given that most of the citations I included are from national news papers or independent websites? The page itself was based on the one for her English colleague Christine Middlemiss, though obviously the details are different Mogms66 (talk) 11:49, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mogms66, a bunch of the sites are associated with the subject in some way, so they aren't independent and could be getting their information about the person directly from the person. Also, the greater concern is that it's formatted much like a resume, highlightiing achivements and roles in that bullet list style. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 12:44, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mogms66, I went ahead and put the article in mainspace. Still need to find some more independent sources, but she's been in a highly notable position in the government. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 14:51, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft - HWS Round Robin

Hey. I've revised Draft:HWS Round Robin to more clearly explain its background and importance to the debate community. I've also updated the list of non-university references to include articles from Business Insider, Finger Lakes Times, The Daily Star, and Joy FM. I hope it meets the standard.

Nomination of Krakoa for deletion.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Krakoa is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Krakoa (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
