Sign up here to participate!
- The Unreferenced articles backlog drive is happening in June 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles tagged with {{Unreferenced}}. You can help reduce the backlog by adding citations to these articles. Sign up to participate!
Interest in joining NPPS
[edit]Hi @Zippybonzo, I saw your note on the WP:NPPS page and would like to apply to join NPPS. I have over 2,400 edits, including more than 2,000 in mainspace. My focus has been on article expansion, AfD participation (48 AfDs with a 94.7% match rate excluding no-consensus), and AfC reviewing (35 reviews with around a 30% acceptance rate). I’m here to help build a high-quality, open-access encyclopedia, and I’d like to deepen my understanding of notability and CSD policy so I can contribute more effectively to new page triage. NPPS looks like a great next step. Thanks again for offering your time to help editors grow their skills. HerBauhaus (talk) 06:29, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
Question from Anonymous656565 (09:05, 8 June 2025)
[edit]Hello. can I somehow edit via the main page and not the "edit source"? What I mean is - can I somehow edit in a way that is more intuitive? --Anonymous656565 (talk) 09:05, 8 June 2025 (UTC)
