Next NPP Drive
Seen as the last one was such a success, would you be interested in helping run another one in October? Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 19:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
Zippybonzo I agree that October would be a good time to run it but unfortunately I'm quite busy these days. Although I could help, I'm not really in a position to do half the coordinator work (t · c) buidhe 22:02, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- I can do most of the work during it, I just need some help setting it up and sending MassMessages in the beginning and whatnot. Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 06:52, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Zippybonzo Then we're on, I can definitely set it up and send messages. (t · c) buidhe 06:58, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Great! I’ll duplicate July’s page and then we can move this discussion over to the drive page. Thanks, Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 07:05, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

NPP Award for 2020
The New Page Reviewer's Iron Award | ||
For over 360 article reviews during 2020. Thank you for patrolling new pages and helping us out with the backlog! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:42, 25 August 2022 (UTC) |
Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2020. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are just getting caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply to let us know not to send you any more. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:53, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

...in this image I just uploaded.[1] Might be of use for several Armenian genocide-related topics and/subtopics. The description says "Against the background of the recent violence towards the Armenians of Ottoman Turkey in 1917-1918". I linked this[2] to the Armenian genocide article, as I assume thats the event they're actually referring to. - LouisAragon (talk) 16:08, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
Settled the case regarding Makiya and villages
Hello Buidhe, since the editor pushing hard for inclusion didn't do the leg work, I did it for them. You are correct in observing there isn't an indication of Makiya doing research. His entire substantiation for the villages figure is a single sentence. However, to make matters worse, Makiya didn't get it from HRW or someone else. He says its his own, based on a vague "analysis". Check out this Talk section where I put more details. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Anfal_campaign#On_Makiya_and_villages Thanks for your valuable insights and guidance for editors on that Talk page!

If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September.

About Bobby Witt (disambiguation)
Hello again, and thanks for sending the page to AfD. However, true as it is that I recommended BLARing the Bobby Witt dab page, and that I understand the fact that I don't own the page, I wouldn't have unilaterally implemented my suggestion to the page. If you think that BLARing is the best course of action (rather than "no consensus"), might I recommend sending the decision to DRV? Thanks, NotReallySoroka (talk) 05:51, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

first homosexual movement scheduled for TFA
This is to let you know that the first homosexual movement article has been scheduled as today's featured article for October 7, 2022. 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/October 7, 2022, 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? 08:42, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Correction to previous election announcement
Just a quick correction to the prior message about the 2022 MILHIST coordinator election! I (Hog Farm) didn't proofread the message well enough and left out a link to the election page itself in this message. The voting will occur here; sorry about the need for a second message and the inadvertent omission from the prior one. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:40, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
