Hey, what more would the article need?
Draft: Net Zero Conference
[edit]Hi Xoak. Thank you for your notes on my Net Zero Conference article. I saw in a previous post that your don't review articles again, but I just wanted to get your advice on (1) any more edits you would suggest and (2) how to get articles reviewed more quickly? I think it's been about 40 days for this article and I have another article (Draft: Wawa Gatheru) that is even older and hasn't been reviewed at all. Is it just a waiting game? Thank you! Jonasstaff (talk) 17:40, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Jonasstaff Hi as you can see from the top of my talk page I'm currently taking a wiki break due to exams, so I can't help, unfortunately. Re waiting game, yes. Some drafts get reviewed within days and some take months. I'd suggest you to post for help here. You can also post on Teahouse. Friendly editors in both of these spaces would provide suggestions and will help you. Regards. X (talk) 23:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi X. Thank you for the reply and all the info! I saw you had exams after I posted my question, so apologies for the bother. Good luck on your exams and appreciate the suggestions! Jonasstaff (talk) 17:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Xoak,
I don't know how busy you may be, but Incase you're free, you may want to help, mostly with your knowledge and research for this draft Draft:Adam Thorn (biologist) (I really don't have time, I may have one thing or the other pop out) . The editor seem not to understand yet. Thanks with any help you can offer. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 20:39, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
- @SafariScribe, Hi, sorry for the delay as I'm quite tied up. I do remember the draft, and at that time it was evident to me that the subject is notable. However, the draft needs some touch-ups (especially with NPOV and removal of deprecating sources). I'd have amended the page myself if I could, but I'm in the midst of my final year exam, so I'd look into it after it's finished. The creator (or AFC submitter) seems to be stale rn, so there's no issue there as well. Regards. X (talk) 16:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Lois E. Trott
[edit]
On 8 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lois E. Trott, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Lois E. Trott ran the first lodging house for homeless girls in America, providing shelter and support for over 1,000 girls annually, all without receiving any payment? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lois E. Trott. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Lois E. Trott), 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 suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Recent draftification
[edit]Hello. I wanted to let you know that I reversed your draftification of Battle on the Sindhu River. I did so because articles older than 90 days should not be draftified without prior consensus at AfD, per the result of this RfC. Please be mindful of this when moving pages to draft space in the future. Note that this does not stop you from nominating the page for deletion if you're interested in going down that route.

Articles for Creation backlog drive
[edit]
Hello Xoak:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
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.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (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.

There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:26, 15 June 2025 (UTC)
