Announcement for the Upcoming Event

[edit]

Hello Likil! Thanks for being part of the Electronic Literature project. We are meeting this Thursday, June 19 at 3 pm. UTC for our Third Thursday at 3 UTC monthly editathon. This month, we will be planning for the editathon at the ELO 2025 conference to develop a list of electronic literature works that have enough notability to warrant an article. Please join in on http:SLASH SLASH tinyurl DOT com SLASH 3Thurs3UTC password 1234! Thank you!

Hi, can you take care of this, following MOS? Talk:Giorgia Meloni#who she said, "with the boards of their own examples, built the ladder that today allows me to climb and break the heavy glass ceiling placed over our heads". Thanks.

January–February 2026 NPP backlog drive – Points award

[edit]
The Working Wikipedian's Barnstar   
This award is given in recognition of Lijil for accumulating at least 25 points in the January–February 2026 NPP backlog drive. Your contributions helped review 27,750 articles and 7,050 redirects during the drive. Thank you so much for taking part and helping reduce the backlog! – DreamRimmer 16:51, 4 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yay, thank you!! Lijil (talk) 20:46, 4 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Notability tagging

[edit]

Hi there, and thank you for your help with NPP! I wanted to reach out because I noticed you recently marked The Standing Mast Route as reviewed, then tagged the article for notability concerns ([1]). If you have concerns about a subject's notability, you should not mark the article as reviewed. If you're ever unsure about notability, just leave the article in the queue. If you think the subject is notable but have specific concerns, tag for those specific concerns instead, if possible. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:25, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Significa liberdade (she/her) Oh, I thought I'd seen something on the talk for NPP (during the February drive) that after tagging an article we should mark it as reviewed. But I suppose if in doubt about notability I should either draftify or AfD. Thanks for cleaning it up! Lijil (talk) 21:38, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, if you find the chat, please share! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:43, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
It was this one Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Archive 54#When to mark a page as reviewed - and I can see it's specifically NOT about notability. I need to go back and check that flowchart! Thanks for spotting that and letting me know! Lijil (talk) 21:49, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for checking! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 21:51, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

AI when commenting on talk pages or AfD discussions

[edit]

Hi Lijl, thanks for the note. Just to clarify, my comment in the Kevin Leyes AfD was based on my own lengthy review of the sources, including related discussions on the Spanish Wikipedia that had been ongoing before I requested the deletion in the English Wikipedia. I did use a tool to help polish the English flow and grammar, but not to generate the substance of the argument, which is based on my knowledge of the rules that govern Wikipedia. I understand the concern and will keep this in mind for future discussions. Taty2007 (talk) 12:05, 13 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

hi Liji, my comments for article about Barry Schwartz were scrutinized. I did use an llm for comment as I am newer and didn't know I couldn't use that to manage the links format which I didn't know how to add in comments properly. All links were researched though so it should not have been dismissed. Was it my fault somehow the page for deleted? I hope not. I was trying to help as all sources should have been legit for that instance. Please let me know. Can we recover the page? Kowabundant (talk) 04:40, 15 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
No, it wasn't your fault! I think the main issue is that the sources you and others found do not show WP:SIGCOV - they're mostly not about Barry Schwartz himself. It doesn't look to me as if my question whether your comment was AI-generated influenced the decision in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barry Schwartz (technologist) (3rd nomination). But if you think the person who closed the discussion has misundertood the consensus or that policies were not correctly followed, you can request a deletion review: Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Rollback granted

[edit]

Hi Lijil. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits. For more information about when rollback is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Rollback § When to use rollback.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the permission will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, and feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate use of rollback. If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin) and Wikipedia:Rollback. Good luck and thanks! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:18, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll do my best to use it wisely :) Lijil (talk) 17:26, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @~2026-27978-38! We just need a source for all new claims made in Wikipedia articles, especially when it's an article about a living person. If you can include a source for the text it will be fine! Lijil (talk) 11:18, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thank you. Will do that now ~2026-27978-38 (talk) 11:19, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Great! I see you readded it - I'll give you a little while to find and add a source. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything - ideally it would be a reliable, independent source (like a newspaper article). I can only see Facebook and YouTube posts though and those would not be acceptable sources. Here is more info about what sources are acceptable: Wikipedia:Verifiability#Reliable_sources Lijil (talk) 11:24, 8 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for SCP-173

[edit]

On 11 May 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article SCP-173, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that fans of a fictional moving statue have nicknamed it "Peanut"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/SCP-173. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, SCP-173), 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.

Hook update
Your hook reached 18,743 views (781.0 per hour), making it one of the most viewed hooks of May 2026 – nice work!

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

[edit]

Hello Lijil,

New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Hi! I'm afraid I'm not going to have time to look at this in the next few weeks, so you'll probably have to wait for another reviewer to look at it. Perhaps leave a message on the talk page of the article explaining these things? Lijil (talk) 08:45, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I understand and wanted to answer the questions. I just posted the information to the article's talk page as well. Starlighsky (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
