Dear Coffeeandcrumbs,
I just want to be the first to congratulate you for your vision and your perseverance to create the first all-space DYK set for July 21. In fact, the whole appearance of the Main Page is a credit to your pioneering vision. It just went live! Enjoy basking in the glow of your stellar achievement! Best, Yoninah (talk) 00:12, 21 July 2019 (UTC) |
- Yoninah, thank you for my first barnstar ever! And thank you for your patient and diligent assistance in getting this going. I should say that just as much credit should go to User:Kees08 without whom this would never have been possible. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 15:22, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- And a special thanks to Cwmhiraeth. Your act of bravery did not go unnoticed!!! --- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:42, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Main page compliment
Hi, it appeared to me like you did a lot of the work in planning how to recognize the Apollo 11 anniversary this week, and I wanted to make sure you saw a compliment from a reader on WP:VPM. (I would have mentioned it where the discussions were but seems like there were many in different places.) Schazjmd (talk) 16:41, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
- I agree completely. Great job with the Main page coverage of the 50th anniversary. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 17:28, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
... with thanks from QAI |
- Joining the chorus: quality job on that project! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:55, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

For good and thoughtful comments during a RM discussion. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC) |
Hey bud, quick note to let you know I was impressed by the move discussion you raised here. It's sorta fascinating how controversial "Death of..." article title moves can be, even when the logic seems obvious. Perhaps all the controversy that surrounds these talks reflects the emotion that surrounds the subject of death and dying. Don't get discouraged if the RM doesn't work. Emotion often trumps reason over the short term. But in the end, the truth will out. NickCT (talk) 02:57, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
- NickCT, I thank you for the kind words. These discussions are difficult but I believe they are important. It is crucial that we question our own preconceptions; objectivity and NPOV are paramount. I always ask myself, what would an alien species who speak perfect English but have no emotions give as the title of this subject? I like to say that we are all biased and we must actively fight that bias. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 06:24, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello Coffeeandcrumbs,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.
Rank | Username | Num reviews | Log |
---|---|---|---|
1 | DannyS712 bot III (talk) | 67,552 | Patrol Page Curation |
2 | Rosguill (talk) | 63,821 | Patrol Page Curation |

9 | Hughesdarren (talk) | 4,520 | Patrol Page Curation |
10 | Utopes (talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Elizabeth Willing Powel scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the Elizabeth Willing Powel article has been scheduled as today's featured article for January 17, 2021. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/January 17, 2021, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1000 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.
For Featured Articles promoted recently, there will be an existing blurb linked from the FAC talk page, which is likely to be transferred to the TFA page by a coordinator at some point.
We suggest that you watchlist Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors from the day before this appears on Main Page. Thanks! Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:33, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for the article - finally a woman in 2021! - introduced: "Elizabeth Willing Powel has been called a forgotten "Founding Mother" of the United States. An apt moniker for a woman perhaps forgotten by history but whose influence on early American History is evident in her communiques with the notables of her period, including many of the Founding Fathers of the United States who she entertained at her home at Powel House (now a museum in Philadelphia). She is most often remembered for a light exchange with Benjamin Franklin which became an often quoted statement about the Constitution of the United States. The story goes as such: a "lady" asked Franklin "What have we got, a republic or a monarchy?", to which he responded, "A republic ... if you can keep it". Who this "lady" was is often glossed over. This article attempts to answer that question with the best sources available today. Powel was a kingmaker and power broker of her time who counseled Supreme Court justices, presidents, senators, and mayors."! - Happy WP 20! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:40, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
The joys of having an article on the MP, eh? :D ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:25, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
- Gerda Arendt and ProcrastinatingReader, thank you both. Vandalism is a small price to pay for a main page appearance. Her appearance on the main page only 3 days before we depose a wannabe monarch is appropriate.
- "What have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"

Explanatory supplement
I count this as good progress! :) —valereee (talk) 16:09, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Valereee, I am so exhausted and I wouldn't know where to begin writing such a thing. I would need a lot of help. Maybe after the holidays if you, ProcrastinatingReader, and Levivich are willing to help write it. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 20:25, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- I'm thinking just create a page, write a few sentences about the purpose of the guideline and a link to the RfC that resulted in its creation, and (most importantly) slap the flowchart into the page. Then we add the explanatory supplement template and add it into the AT policy page as a link. Not the preferred result, but it may well work I'm thinking: we can do a bunch of bold moves quoting the newly created explanatory supplement and (assuming none get reverted, I wouldn't really expect they would be) we're good. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 20:28, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Of course I'll help. And PR is right. Writing is hard. Editing is easy. Put up a page with the flowchart, a link to RfC, and a starting content that "This is the flowchart for evaluating article titles about deaths." Then just go do something else. Take a bubble bath or something. PR will no doubt add whatever template and links they're talking about in their nerdy ways I don't understand. ;) It'll grow. :) —valereee (talk) 20:34, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Hitler on OTD
December 20 isn't really a good day to list Hitler. He should be put on a day that is one of the most important for him. I was going to put him on January 30 (when he was appointed chancellor), but there's already another Hitler article there, so he needs another home. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 07:51, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
- Howcheng, it is so hard. No way we are going to use his birthday. But there has to be a date that fits but does not overtly offend. I will keep looking. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 09:33, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week in recognition of continuing efforts to improve WP. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project) |
User:ProcrastinatingReader submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
- It is my pleasure to commend User:Coffeeandcrumbs for Editor of the Week. C&C has been an editor for 3 years, and in that time they have created, and contributed to, a staggering number of quality and interesting articles. To pick a small selection of their contributions, many of which improve the encyclopaedia's coverage of women, I've particularly enjoyed reading Mae Jemison, Valentina Tereshkova (GAs) and Elizabeth Willing Powel (FA created from scratch). C&C also does tireless work behind the scenes, particularly at WP:ERRORS, WP:ITN and WP:DYK, and has thousands of edits at these venues. C&C is unfailingly polite, helpful, productive, and a model Wikipedian. I hope this award is a fitting recognition of their continuing efforts to improve the encyclopaedia.

Re: Margaret Hamilton (software engineer)
Hi there,
I was reading Margaret Hamilton (software engineer) and saw that you were a major contributor to this article and had nominated it for GA a few years back. I just wanted to say that (1) I thought the article was quite well done, (2) that the subject was very interesting and admirable, and (3) that if you ever want to put it back up for GA review, I'd be happy to be the one to do the review. Anyway, sorry for the random message, and thanks for creating a cool article! DocFreeman24 (talk) 06:41, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
- DocFreeman24, I appreciate that. I did plan on getting back to it sometime. I will let you know if I do nominate it again.
- Feel free to improve it and nominate it for GA yourself. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 16:57, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

WikiCup 2021 March newsletter
Round 1 of the competition has finished; it was a high-scoring round with 21 contestants scoring more than 100 points. Everyone with a positive score moves on to Round 2, with 55 contestants qualifying. You will need to finish among the top thirty-two contestants in Round 2 if you are to qualify for Round 3. Our top scorers in Round 1 were:
- Epicgenius led the field with a featured article, nine good articles and an assortment of other submissions, specialising on buildings and locations in New York, for a total of 945 points.
- Bloom6132 was close behind with 896 points, largely gained from 71 "In the news" items, mostly recent deaths.
- ImaginesTigers, who has been editing Wikipedia for less than a year, was in third place with 711 points, much helped by bringing League of Legends to featured article status, exemplifying how bonus points can boost a contestant's score.
- Amakuru came next with 708 points, Kigali being another featured article that scored maximum bonus points.
- Ktin, new to the WikiCup, was in fifth place with 523 points, garnered from 15 DYKs and 34 "In the news" items.
- The Rambling Man scored 511 points, many from featured article candidate reviews and from football related DYKs.
- Gog the Mild, last year's runner-up, came next with 498 points, from a featured article and numerous featured article candidate reviews.
- Hog Farm, at 452, scored for a featured article, four good articles and a number of reviews.
- Le Panini, another newcomer to the WikiCup, scored 438 for a featured article and three good articles.
- Lee Vilenski, last year's champion, scored 332 points, from a featured article and various other sport-related topics.
These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. In Round 1, contestants achieved eight featured articles, three featured lists and one featured picture, as well as around two hundred DYKs and twenty-seven ITNs. They completed 97 good article reviews, nearly double the 52 good articles they claimed. Contestants also claimed for 135 featured article and featured list candidate reviews. There is no longer a requirement to mention your WikiCup participation when undertaking these reviews.
Remember that any content promoted after the end of Round 1 but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is a good article candidate, a featured process, or something else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

- I am concerned that the article unduly focuses on the Challenger disaster. Not saying trim down that part but we should add more about his career before and after the disaster. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 15:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Will leave that to Z1720 if they want to add more; I just put in the basics to get a solid article started (and doubt that sources focus on much other than the Challenger). And again, this is why I don't do DYK; I was not aware that DYKs had to be comprehensive. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:17, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Responding on my phone because my computer is doing an update for five hours with no end in sight. Coffeeandcrumbs Before nominating the article for DYK I looked for additional information and sources on various databases. Sources mostly focus on his role in the Challenger explosion and the subsequent investigation. I'll keep looking when my computer is done its update, but I don't have much hope in finding more info. Z1720 (talk) 18:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I guess something has changed (and I sure don’t keep up with DYK), but I thought that DYK was for new articles, and that expansion was expected ... that we do it to encourage editors to engage and expand, but we don’t expect DYKs to be finished. Oh, well ... SandyGeorgia (Talk) 18:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I just read through the DYK rules and supplementary rules twice and I could not find a requirement that DYK articles be comprehensive. I'll still look for more info to add to the article, but as far as I am concerned, it is good to go for a DYK nom. If I am mistaken please link me the info so I can determine how to get this article to conform to that requirement. Z1720 (talk) 23:03, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- I was just commenting as an observer. I have no intention to stand in the way of it appearing on DYK. If no other info is available about his career, that is that.
- It was a interesting article. I hope it quickly makes it through DYK review and on to the main page. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 23:17, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thx, C&C; the whole deal here was that I don’t know anything about DYK processes, and don’t have the time or interest to learn, which is why I offered the DYK to Z1720 ... and then I felt bad for putting up a fine start to an article that wasn’t even worthy of a DYK, or so I thought ... my only experience with DYK is finding copyvio and uncited hooks and translation errors over and over and over ... when I see them on the main page, I speak up. And that’s all I know! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:20, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for commenting on the article. I hope my comments were taken in the good faith that they were intended to be, and if they caused you any stress or worry then I am sorry and I need to choose better language next time (and hopefully not comment on my phone because my computer was in the middle of a 7-hour computer update!) I hope this article is the best it can be when it's posted on the main page. Z1720 (talk) 00:42, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Instead of just complaining about it, I decided to lend a hand. I hope that helps! Thank you for creating this article!! --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 01:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks! I quite intentionally left room for expansion, as I thought that was the idea of DYK ... to encourage other editors who read the mainpage to engage! Bst, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:53, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
