New pages patrol January–February 2026 Backlog drive

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Freedom4U:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Hello @Freedom4U! I am writing to let you know that the Brixton meetup is back at Brixton Library next Monday 27th July at 6pm-8pm if you're free it would be lovely to see you there!

June 2026 Good Article Backlog Drive

		The Minor Barnstar
		This award is given in recognition to F4U for accumulating at least 3 points during the 2026 June GA backlog elimination drive (for the review of Semiotics). Thank you for your efforts! -- Reconrabbit (talk) 19:28, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

Hey thanks!

		The Surreal Barnstar
		Thanks for adding photos to a few of my articles about picture books and for the many other things you do around here! I spent a while perusing your articles today and have learned about so many fascinating things (North Korean academic journal! Scammy headache relief! Trotsky's Black Panther great nephew!). Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 23:37, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks! I use a script that makes the whole uploading process really easy, I can help you out with it if you want.

Also! I'm not really sure why, but your signature is time-stamped for May instead of August? ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 13:27, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

New pages patrol September 2026 Backlog drive

September 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
On 1 September 2026, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin at a particularly important time for NPP. The backlog has now passed 30,000 unreviewed articles, a level that has been described in current NPP discussions as exceptionally high and potentially difficult to overcome through normal reviewing alone. Backlog drives are one of the few measures that have historically produced a noticeable reduction in the backlog, so the participation of as many active patrollers as possible will matter this month. If you can review during September, please make articles your priority. Every article that is reviewed is a meaningful reduction in the backlog. With the queue at its current size, even a relatively small increase in the number of articles each patroller reviews can add up to a substantial difference over the course of the month. This is a hybrid drive, so redirect reviewing is still included. Redirects can be a useful way for newer patrollers to get comfortable with NPP and can help people build up to reviewing articles. However, the main goal of this drive is to tackle the article backlog, and experienced patrollers are particularly encouraged to spend as much of their available reviewing time on articles as they can. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. If you have been thinking about doing more NPP, this is an especially good month to jump in. Whether you can review a few pages or hundreds, every review helps. And if you are already an active patroller, please consider whether you can put in some additional time during September to help bring the backlog back under control. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.

FA review of Semiotics

Hello Freedom4U and thanks for your recent GA review of the article Semiotics! I've nominated the article for FA, but the nomination hasn't received much feedback so far, so I was wondering whether you may be interested in reviewing it at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Semiotics/archive1. Thank you for taking a look and please feel under no obligation if now is not a good time. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:04, 14 September 2026 (UTC)

DYK for Big Walk

On 5 November 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Big Walk, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that players of Big Walk are rewarded with "nipples"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Big Walk. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (Big Walk), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
