Kia ora Sophie, greetings from the other side of the ditch. Regarding the prep promotion copy-and-paste error, it seems that you aren’t using WP:PSHAW ↗ for promotion to prep. Personally, I’d never want to have to do a manual promotion again because this tool is so convenient. Have you tried it? Super-straightforward to install and easy to use. And it would certainly prevent copy-and-paste errors. '''<span style="color: #000000;">Schwede</span><span style="color: #FF4500;">66</span>''' 17:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Schwede66}}, no I haven't tried it yet as I wasn't sure how easy it would be to use when I've been doing manual promotions (on and off) for years. I'll have to install and have a play around with it. 97198 (talk) 11:47, 21 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello 97198:
'''WikiProject Articles for creation ↗''' is holding a '''month long Backlog Drive ↗!'''<br />
The goal of this drive is to '''reduce''' the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
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.<br />
There is a backlog of over {{Rounddown|{{formatnum:{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pending AfC submissions}}|R}}|-2}} pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)</div>

The European Destubathon
You are invited to participate in '''The European Destubathon ↗''' in April. Almost $3000 in Amazon voucher prizes, including prizes for 5 different entities of the UK and Ireland, which can be used to buy books for content, though it can also be treated as an editathon if you're not interested in competing! Minimum content to be added to each article just to ensure that they're over a stub, though longer expansions also welcome. Entries at the end of the contest will be tipped into the 50,000 Destubbing Challenge and European Challenge/20,000 Challenge for UK and Ireland entries. Previous contests were really enjoyable and I'm hoping this one will be too! Sign up if interested.

Hello 97198:
'''WikiProject Articles for creation ↗''' is holding a '''month long Backlog Drive ↗ in June!'''<br />
The goal of this drive is to '''reduce''' the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 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 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.
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.<br />
There is a backlog of over {{Rounddown|{{formatnum:3,205|R}}|-2}} pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- <small>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.</small>

The World Destubathon ↗
You are invited to participate in The World Destubathon. It's currently planned for June 16-July 13, partly due to me having hayfever during that period and not wanting to run it throughout July or August in the hotter summer and will be run then unless multiple editors object. There is currently $3338 going into it, with $500 the top prize. As 250 countries and entities is too much to patrol, entries will be by user, but there is $500 going into prizes for editors covering the most countries. Sign up if interested! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>

Hello 97198:
'''WikiProject Articles for creation ↗''' is holding a '''month long Backlog Drive ↗ in December!'''<br />
The goal of this drive is to '''reduce''' the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.
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.<br />
There is a backlog of over {{Rounddown|{{formatnum:3000|R}}|-2}} pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 06:07, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
- <small>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.</small>

Draft:Malachi Beasley
Hello,
you declined the draft for the subject I created a wikipedia for, all of the articles he is mentioned in he is the headline, im confused on your comment. Lopsd (talk) 00:17, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
:such as this https://deadline.com/2025/07/jamiee-foxx-fight-for-84-malachi-beasley-netflix-1236454335/ he is the lead headline in the deadline article apologies for bothering just very confused. Lopsd (talk) 00:20, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
::He has over 9 mentions in deadline alone https://deadline.com/results/?q=Malachi%20Beasley%20&size=n_10_n&sort-field=relevance&sort-direction=desc so the decline being because of sources doesn't really add up sorry, can you please just help me understand. Lopsd (talk) 00:24, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Lopsd}} No apologies required. Unfortunately Wikipedia's notability guidelines require "significant coverage" ↗ of the subject in secondary sources. Being in the headline, or being mentioned in many sources, is not enough when the substance essentially amounts to "he was / will be in this film". 97198 (talk) 01:29, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
::::ohh so just because he has the sources he's not creditable enough like on google, he doesn't have the presence ? Lopsd (talk) 01:31, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
:::::he would just need like wider coverage basically ? Lopsd (talk) 01:32, 26 November 2025 (UTC)
Draft:McKinzie Scott ↗
Hey Sophie, Thanks a lot for your feedback help a lot, is it possible if you could look at Draft:McKinzie Scott ↗ and let me know what you think? I've been contributing to this subject a lot and think he is notable of approval. Would be really appreciated. Lopsd (talk) 06:24, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon!
