Your GA nomination of Marcus Klingberg
The article Marcus Klingberg 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:Marcus Klingberg and Talk:Marcus Klingberg/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello Goldsztajn,
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.

Question from Malpasram (16:36, 5 April 2024)
How do I create a wiki page? --Malpasram (talk) 16:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Malpasram - what is it that you wish to create? Do you mean you wish to create an article about something? Usually it is best to start by editing articles to get a feel for how things work, but if you tell me what you wish to create I can give you some advice on whether your idea is possible. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 09:33, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Phiaso (08:29, 6 April 2024)
Hello Goldsztajn! I'm just starting out, and had a clarifying question about minor edits. In the event that the article needs minor restructuring (re-ordering of paragraphs without removal of information), would this be counted as a minor edit? I wasn't confident enough from reading through the page, so I didn't mark the edit I am referring to as minor out of an abundance of caution. Thanks! --Phiaso (talk) 08:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Phiaso - welcome and happy to answer your questions. A minor edit is anything which more or less a reader will not notice. So re-ordering paragraphs would not count as a minor edit. However, a spelling correction, or an punctuation change (without changing meaning) would count as a minor edit. Hope that helps, feel free to ask me anything else. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 09:36, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello Can you give me a presentation topic on practical and theoretical lexicography? --Beinmote God'sgift (talk) 23:39, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from ExoField (12:14, 18 April 2024)
Hi, I'm in need of some help. In University of Peshawar there was probably a purge to remove all the departments and colleges (because it was copy pasta from the official website) from the page and now the page is all messed up and completely wrong, someone has listed the departments with a secondary source, but it's completely wrong, what do I do? I want to discuss this in detail please. --ExoField (talk) 12:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- By "what do I do" I mean, should I just remove the departments entirely (page will be completely empty) or should I add back some of the departments with a primary source? ExoField (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Also, I'm having difficulty finding secondary sources that mention the various departments/colleges/faculty of the university reliably, they're either completely unrelated, or just straight up wrong.
- I'll appreciate any guidance. ExoField (talk) 12:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @ExoField - I'm somewhat inactive this week, so replies are delayed. For the purposes of Wikipedia, have a look at the Harvard University article to get a sense of a structure for a university article. In terms of sourcing, it's ok to use a primary source where the information is "factual", but consider that a list of faculties in the article is not necessarily encyclopedic. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 05:13, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you. ExoField (talk) 07:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins
Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:
- Proposals 2 and 9b (phase II discussion): Add a reminder of civility norms at RfA and Require links for claims of specific policy violations
- Proposal 3b (in trial): Make the first two days discussion-only
- Proposal 13 (in trial): Admin elections
- Proposal 14 (implemented): Suffrage requirements
- Proposals 16 and 16c (phase II discussion): Allow the community to initiate recall RfAs and Community recall process based on dewiki
- Proposal 17 (phase II discussion): Have named Admins/crats to monitor infractions
- Proposal 24 (phase II discussion): Provide better mentoring for becoming an admin and the RfA process
- Proposal 25 (implemented): Require nominees to be extended confirmed
See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green GA Editathon June 2024 - Going Back in Time
Hello Goldsztajn:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in June 2024!
Running from June 1 to 30, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Going Back in Time! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 20 centuries by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!

- Hi @SarahHunnings24 - I'm not certain for sure, but it might be a problem with the browser window/tab you are using that has been left open for too long. Save the edits elsewhere (eg in a word doc), close all the windows, restart and try to do a sinlge small edit on the piece you are working on. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 02:27, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
