Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Dhtwiki!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Invitation to write something
Hi Dhtwiki, I'm slooowly putting together the GOCE annual report, which I hope will be ready by early February. Before 2020, the new or continuing Lead Coordinator would write a "Plans for 20xx" closing section (example from 2019). I wrote some drivel for 2022. I thus invite you to write something deep and meaningful for 2024 here. If you'd rather not, we can omit that section. Thanks for what you do and cheers, Baffle☿gab 11:31, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- @Baffle gab1978: I saw the filler comment on the report, that something possibly inspirational was required, or at least hoped for. I've since been looking for where I mislaid my ebulliently dynamic personality, one that could infuse excited hopefulness into the project. I looked at the previous year's work and thought that I could somewhat copy that, with adjustments. I think that, first, thank yous are in order, even for those that merely sign up, for they encourage the rest merely by doing so. Then, perhaps to try and explain the disappointing trend being a product of our taking on increased responsibilities (e.g. the various template redirects), as well as the continuing clamoring for our services, via templates and, especially, the requests page, due to our having done such wonderful work and having such a stellar reputation. Dhtwiki (talk) 21:44, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was being flippant above; it's your prerogative as Lead to write that section, your plan sounds good to me. :) I'll let you know when it's ready to go. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 07:02, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- Speaking of thanks. You've been doing a tremendous amount of coordinator work, and it's much appreciated. You should be a coordinator emeritus, if you're not going to be a nominal coordinator. Dhtwiki (talk) 07:51, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, thanks for the offer but I believe emeritus status is reserved for former Lead Coordinators. Besides, I've been busy in meatspace the past few weeks and I expect to be less active from March until October. I'll still be around though. I think the Annual Report is ready to go now, though it will probably need a tidy-up, which I'll look at this week. I'm sorry for my late reply to this thread, I didn't see your reply until now. Cheers, Baffle☿gab 03:41, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Baffle gab1978: Tdslk was made emeritus without having served as lead. Emeritus status doesn't require activity, as only Jonesey and Miniapolis are particularly active, with rare exceptions on the part of the others, nor does it mean you can't again be a coordinator, as Miniapolis has shown. You've served 13 terms as coordinator, and, as far as I can tell, are exceeded in that only by Mini, with 19, and Jonesey, with 16, both of whom are on the emeritus list when not serving a regular term as coordinator.

All the best, Miniapolis 13:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Ali al-Sajjad
Hi! Thanks so much for improving Ali al-Sajjad, in preparation for its GA nomination. I realize that you might be busy with other things, but I wonder if you would be able to continue helping us with this article. what else do you think should be done? Please let me know. Thanks again for your much-needed help here. Albertatiran (talk) 14:41, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've taken another look at the article and see that there's more that can be done in the way of copy editing. Let me work through it a second time before you nominate for GA status. Dhtwiki (talk) 08:21, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sounds good, thanks. Albertatiran (talk) 09:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Albertatiran: I've completed my second pass. Feel free to nominate for GA, as I think I've taken care of any gross problems with the prose, not that a GA reviewer won't find more, as that can happen. Dhtwiki (talk) 06:40, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate your help. Thanks again. I'll go ahead with the nomination in the coming days. Albertatiran (talk) 12:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Reporting of edits for GOCE
Dear User: Dhtwiki,
I am a member of GOCE and have started copy - edit from September only. I have just put in the number of words in the Article , before I started to edit.
Kindly confirm if I have done it correctly.
Regards Anupam Dutta (talk) 13:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Anupamdutta73: Thank you for your participation. Your entry at the September drive was malformed merely for want of an opening brace on one of the lines. See the correction I made here. Otherwise, it looks good. Dhtwiki (talk) 23:48, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Dhtwiki. The words in the report is the total number of words in the Articles and not what I contributed. I want to be extra sure. Anupam Dutta (talk) 02:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- You are supposed to take a word count of the article, or section thereof, before you start editing. That word count will probably not reflect the additions or subtractions you make, but is indicative of the amount of material you will have read through, which in itself is work, if done conscientiously, even if few edits have to be made. Dhtwiki (talk) 02:17, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks @Dhtwiki. The words in the report is the total number of words in the Articles and not what I contributed. I want to be extra sure. Anupam Dutta (talk) 02:13, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
