Hello,

Your article was published to the main space without any sourcing and without following Wikipedia's manual of style. I was unable to find any information or sourcing to justify notability and based on your username, it seemed like a COI was possible. If I am incorrect, then I apologize. However, I would suggest taking a look at WP:GNG and WP:YFA when deciding whether or not an article should be created. FiddleheadLady (talk) 01:16, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

thank you Baraka15 (talk) 06:03, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

I would like to apologize for accidently deleting content on the now deleted page baraka mtajiri, I was most likely editing a former version of the page while adding maintenence infoboxes. The page was being reviewed over by a handful of people and version were changing every minute or so, I must have not realised I was editing a former version. I would like to also apologize for not providing an edit summary on the now deleted page, because it may have been confused behind my intentions on the edit, I usually switch to visual editor before editing, so I mustve just clicked confirm changes because I am used to a confirmation screen like on the visual editor. Sorry and thank you for checking in with me on the issue! KCanadianJ316 (talk) 01:52, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

it's all right — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baraka15 (talk • contribs) 06:03, 20 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

For context, I was apologizing to @FiddleheadLady, that is why I posted on his talk page. Just informing you! Also, I see that you made the article "baraka mtajiri", I advise you to read WP:MOS and WP:NOTE before publishing an article. Please review carefully before contributing a page to Wikipedia.

Hi FiddleheadLady, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed, Rosguill ^talk 17:37, 24 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Hi, this is an automated reminder as part of Global reminder bot to let you know that your permission "patroller" (New page reviewers) will expire on 00:00, 24 May 2026 (UTC). For most rights, you will need to renew at WP:PERM, unless you have been told otherwise when your right was approved. To opt out of user right expiry notifications, add yourself to m:Global reminder bot/Exclusion. Leaderbot (talk) 19:41, 17 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

		The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
		This award is given in recognition of FiddleheadLady for accumulating at least 25 points in the May 2026 NPP backlog drive. Your contributions helped review 14884 articles during the drive. Thank you so much for taking part and helping reduce the backlog! – DreamRimmer ■ 15:57, 12 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Lesbrary has been moved to Draft by you. You said that it lacks sources and other things. What sources should be added? What else would make it better? Sulav567 (talk) 02:14, 18 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi!

The article was sent back to the draft space because it relied heavily on primary sources - bios, the Lesbray website, etc. rather than independent, secondary sourcing. For a page to meet the general notability requirement, there should be significant coverage on the topic. If you need more info on what this might look like or require, you can check out WP:SIGCOV. Other places to get more info would be WP:GNG or WP:RS. I hope this helps! FiddleheadLady (talk) 01:07, 19 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hello FiddleheadLady:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a 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 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

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)Reply
