DYK requests
Dr Aaij, I'm not sure whether you're aware that there are 187 approved DYK nominations awaiting promotion, or another 160 awaiting or under review. In either event, I'm not currently building prep sets, and I'm not in the habit of arbitrarily soliciting reviewers for newish unreviewed nominations—unfortunately, given the current backlog, waiting for over two weeks to get a review is all too common, and three to four weeks is the average wait for an approved nomination to be promoted to the main page.
I can understand that this doesn't fit well with academic schedules, especially given that your course appears to end in 16 days. I don't really have the time to help you (my Wikipedia activity level is low this fall), so please don't ping me or post about me in nominations; the only affect it's likely to have is that people may think I might be taking action, so they'll be less likely to engage, not more. But then, if you're really Drmies, as your user page claims, you ought to know this already, so I'm at a loss as to why you made those two posts earlier today. As Drmies, you'd stand a far better chance if you posted to WT:DYK about the class, and how more prompt attention (rather like an impending special occasion in terms of timing) for reviews and promotions would help the educational experience. The flip side, of course, is that such DYK nominations that get reviewed a bit later end up dying on the vine because the course has ended and the student has stopped editing Wikipedia.

- BlueMoonset, no, neither I nor Drmies were aware of these numbers, nor did we know a review took two weeks or more. I was just asking a question, that's all. I don't know why you thought Drmies would know all this already but don't worry, I won't ping you any more. Dr Aaij (talk) 21:01, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
- Dr Aaij, DYK nominations can be reviewed right away, or wait for over a month; two weeks is unfortunately far from unusual. I had thought Drmies had been paying attention when made DYK nominations or reviewed same, which is admittedly not terribly often, but apparently not. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:10, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

- Cwmhiraeth, thank you so much for your help. Dr Aaij (talk) 15:13, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
- One more thing, Cwmhiraeth--I "created" the article, but it's really all User:Germanboi87's work. Credit where credit is due! Dr Aaij (talk) 16:56, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
Template message
A user just edited my article, and he made some changes that I think really improved the article but he also inserted a template saying my article might need copy editing for tone and cohesion. Is that going to interfere with my DYK nomination at all? Thank you! Germanboi87 (talk) 22:24, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
