Hello Samoht27:

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)[reply]

• 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.

Hello! Your submission of List of bigfin squid specimens and sightings at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there at your earliest convenience. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! NeoGaze (talk) 19:11, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Samoht27, this is on the verge of being closed because you haven't responded to the latest queries and pings. If you wish to proceed with this nomination, please respond immediately. Best of luck! BlueMoonset (talk) 05:38, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BlueMoonset I've been very busy recently, I will respond as soon as possible, I've been intending to solve the reviewers issues when I'm able. I apologize for the inconvenience -Samoht27 (talk) 17:33, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Samoht27, it was not up to me, and the nomination has already closed as unsuccessful. I'm sorry the timing didn't work out. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:04, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Samoht27 The nomination has been closed several hours ago, but I have contacted the editor who closed it to see if we can continue it. NeoGaze (talk) 20:11, 11 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you're inrested in continuing with the nomination, you should reply here. NeoGaze (talk) 06:26, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Samoht27! I’m following up on the PuppySpot draft you previously reviewed. I recently posted a message on the draft’s Talk page to ask for final input, since there’s still no clear consensus about whether the subject meets notability guidelines. The language has been revised for neutrality, and the cited sources are the best available—there’s no opportunity to improve them further.

If you're willing to offer a final opinion, it would really help clarify whether the draft should move forward or be set aside. You're welcome to reply here or on the draft Talk page — either is appreciated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:PuppySpot

Thanks again for all your time and feedback so far. SBCornelius (talk) 16:47, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for my late response, I believe this likely meets notability, and the used sources do satisfy WP:GNG -Samoht27 (talk) 19:02, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. My draft was declined do to needing more resources. I'm having trouble uploading them, any suggestions? Here is the declined link: Draft:Laura Barbato Twelve83Entertainment (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Samoht27, the Developing Countries WikiContest will be returning for a second year, and sign-ups are now open! The contest will run from 1 July to 30 September, and the objective remains the same: improve as many articles relating to developing countries as you can to help fight systemic bias on Wikipedia.

In other news, we have a new face on the coordinator team this year: last year's sixth-place finisher, Arconning (talk · contribs)! The coordinators would like to extend a sincere thanks to Ixtal (talk · contribs), who is leaving the team, without whom the contest would not exist. After feedback from contestants last year, the scoring rules are undergoing some modifications; the new rules and a summary of the changes made will be posted to the contest talk page shortly.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or contact one of the coordinators: Arconning (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).

Hello @Samoht27, Thank you for reviewing my draft. I have re-worded and restructured the article, and especially have used language similar to the AIPAC article (e.g. "AIPAC is a pro-Israel lobbying group that advocates its policies to the legislative and executive branches of the US" vs "The coalition advocates for candidates for federal office to not take endorsements or contributions from AIPAC and its affiliated political action committees.") Please could you advise if there are any further issues with the draft, or if not, it can be approved? Thank you very much. The draft is here: Draft:Reject_AIPAC Sideriver84 (talk) 17:32, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for participating in the Articles for Creation June Backlog Drive! We've done amazing work so far, dropping the backlog by more than 2000 drafts already. We have around 400 drafts outstanding, and we need your help to get that down to zero in 5 days. We can do this, but we need all hands on deck to make this happen. A list of the pending drafts can be found at WP:AFCSORT, where you can select submissions in your area of interest. Thank you so much for your work so far, and happy reviewing! – DreamRimmer ■ 01:34, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
