Deletion of my post[edit]
Today (March 25th, 2024), you deleted a question that I posted in the Talk page of the article "Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024". What is the reason that you deleted it? Shailevi8 (talk) 11:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Shailevi8: I reverted your post because it contravenes Wikipedia's talk page guidelines. Article talk pages are meant to be used for discussion on how best to improve the article, and are not forums for unrelated discussions about the subject. There are many Eurovision forums which exist elsewhere where subjects like the one you brought up can be discussed, but Wikipedia is not the place for that. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 11:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- To be fair the genre of the song is relevant to the article — IмSтevan talk 15:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- It's relevant to the Europapa article, where the question the editor asked is already covered in great detail, however its relevance to the article on the country's participation in the contest is tangential. Per WP:NOTAFORUM
[...] article talk pages exist solely to discuss how to improve articles; they are not for general discussion about the subject of the article [...]
, which I believe the deleted post contravened and was subject to removal. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 15:11, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Map[edit]
I asked the Map Project on input regarding our map — IмSтevan talk 15:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ImStevan: That's a really good idea! I had put in a request back in December with the Graphics Lab Map workshop before our work these past couple of weeks but to no avail. Hopefully though this will be a more direct point of contact that will be more likely to help us out. Sims2aholic8 (talk) 15:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]
Hello Sims2aholic8,
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.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Thanks[edit]
Thanks for correcting some of my latest edits. There’s a lot of stuff to keep track of and I happen to make stupid mistakes because I rush. :) ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 16:20, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @IvanScrooge98: No problem at all! It's a very busy time and we're only human so bound to make mistakes every now and then. I'm no different at all, and it's great to have another set of eyes to look over everyone's edits just to catch anything that may crop up. :) Sims2aholic8 (talk) 16:32, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
