Articles for Creation backlog drive
[edit]
Hello CycloneYoris:
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!

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.

Deprecating and re-reviewing PC edits
[edit]Hey, so I'm just wondering: Why do deprecate and then immediately re-accept the same edits to pages with PC protection? Am I missing something in my reviews, because you mostly do that with pages I've reviewed? LightlySeared (talk) 19:55, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
- @LightlySeared: Those pages were still appearing on my watchlist as unreviewed for some reason, since I have most DOY pages there, which is why I went ahead and accepted them twice. I honestly wasn't aware that you had already reviewed them before. CycloneYoris talk! 20:02, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
