The article Rachel Wolfe-Goldsmith has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Her organization has a better chance of passing GNG, but she does not have the type of in-depth coverage coverage needed to pass WP:GNG.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Oakland Black Cowboy Association article
[edit]Thanks for reaching out! I didn't know there was an article for the Oakland Black Cowboy Association, and it looks like you did great work starting it. With a quick search, I found a bunch of additional potential sources, and really I think any topic with its own finding aid in the Online Archive of California should be considered sufficiently notable for Wikipedia. Here are a few links - feel free to work them in, and I'll give this a try later too: book chapter from 2007, Oakland North 2009, KQED 2017, Post News Group 2018, Mercury News 2019, SFGate 2021.

Hello, EponineBunnyKickQueen
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Bruxton, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Marysia Nikitiuk, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
- Edit the page
- Remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}} - Click the button.
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bruxton}}. And remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. Thanks!
(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Deletion discussion about Marysia Nikitiuk
[edit]Hello, EponineBunnyKickQueen, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Bruxton, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Marysia Nikitiuk, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marysia Nikitiuk.
You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Bruxton}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

New Article advice
[edit]Hope you are well!
I've drafted a new article in my sandbox and would like to get your take before publishing. If you have any suggestions with regard to notability, in particular, I'd be grateful!
- @Skvjold (MNovotny) Skvjold (talk) 21:39, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Margeigh! Great to see you around! Good work on the article. :) The subject definitely seems notable to me, and you've done a good job with sources. Some suggestions:
- Be careful to use NPOV (neutral point of view). Basically, if a sentence leans toward sounding like a press release, focus on just the facts. For example, for [the Moby Spout Cover] "has become so ubiquitous in American households with new babies that the product was parodied by Pixar in the Toy Story era short film, Partysaurus Rex," I'd probably just write that the product was parodied in the short film without the extra claims, and provide a reference. Likewise, for "award-winning face shield," I would name the actual award.
- Gallery: I don't know if those images will be allowed to stay up. Honestly, the fair use/commons issue still trips me up sometimes, so I'd be cautious. For example: I put photos I took of Breyer models on the Breyer page, but they were removed due to copyright issues around products.
- Publications: to keep in line with Wikipedia's general style, I would rename this "Further reading," remove the articles that are already cited in the article, and put it after the References section.

- Wikipedia App: We have launched an A/B test of tabbed browsing in the Wikipedia iOS app. This feature allows users to open multiple articles in separate tabs, making it easier to switch between topics, explore, and return to previous reading spots. The test is currently running in Arabic, English, and Japanese in selected regions. We’re collecting feedback and plan to make the feature more widely available soon.
- MediaWiki: The MediaWiki Platform team has introduced a unified Built-in Notifications system, as part of MediaWiki 1.44, that makes it easier for developers to send, manage, and customize notifications across the platform.

- Mobile Editing: Insights on mobile web editing on Wikipedia in 2025 are now available. This report highlights that ~95% of IP mobile users editing via wikitext open the editor but make no changes at all, a vast untapped potential. It also pinpoints where contributors most often drop off.
- Dark Mode: Dark Mode user interface will be rolled out on all Wikimedia sites on October 29. All anonymous users of Wikimedia sites will have the option to activate a color scheme that features light-colored text on a dark background. This is designed to provide a more comfortable reading experience, especially in low-light situations.
- Community wishlist extension: The new Community Wishlist extension has been released. This will allow users to add tags to their wishes to better categorise them, and (in a future iteration) to filter them by status, tags and focus areas. It will also be possible to support individual wishes again, as requested by the community in many instances.
- Paste Check: 22 Wikis are now testing a new Edit Check feature, Paste Check, to help avoid and fight copyright violations. When editors paste text into an article, Paste Check prompts them to confirm the origin and licensing of the content.
- Tone Check: The Wikimedia Foundation is working on a new check for newcomers: Tone check. Using a prediction model, this check will encourage editors to improve the tone of their edits.
- Search Suggestions: Search Suggestions was deployed on English Wikipedia. Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature is available on both desktop and mobile.
- Unsupported Tools Working Group: A new Unsupported Tools Working Group has been formed to help prioritize and review requests for support of unmaintained extensions, gadgets, bots, and tools. The group has chosen Video2Commons as the first tool for its pilot cycle. The group will explore ways to improve and sustain the tool over the coming months.
- Tech News: Read updates from Tech News week 40 and 41 including about Sub-referencing – a new feature to re-use references with different details.
- Wikimedia Research Showcase: Don't miss the next Wikimedia Research Showcase, "Celebrating 13 Years: Wikidata's Role in Learning and Culture" taking place on October 15 at 16:30 UTC.
