For Evie Ferris you pulled in the description of Australian singer from Wikidata. I don't know much about Wikidata, so I am not sure how the information is generated. From the articles I read about Ferris, she seems to be known as a dancer, though I don't know if she also sings on the The Wiggles. I didn't want to just change the short description, as I did not know how Wikidata came up with the description of singer. Your thoughts? DaffodilOcean ( talk) 16:49, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I know you are well versed in art topics. I wonder if you might give me an opinion about a separate article for Western (genre) or Western art. I recently started an article on Richard Lorenz (artist) and started reading about others who worked in that area. Right now it is a paragraph in the Western (genre) article. Thanks!

Vexations,
Thanks for your contribution to the Miriam Shatal article. This article is being considered for deletion. Could we get your opinion?

Hi there, Vexations. As a result of your comments on the WiR talk page, I thought I would take a look at your own article creations. I see you have been responsible for including quite a few women artists yourself. As you seem interested not only in visual art but in mentoring, growth and statistics, not to mention your knowledge of Dutch and German, I'm sure you would be a useful member of our project. Please think about joining. I think you will find us pretty welcoming and not at all subject to the aspects of leadership you so dislike. Alternatively, if you are not keen to become a member, I could always include you on our mailing list so that you could see what we are doing.-- Ipigott ( talk) 13:37, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Here is a barnstar to show appreciation for the NPP reviews you did back in 2020. We realize this is late, but NPP fell behind in some coordination activities. We are just getting caught up. If you don't want to receive "old" barnstars, please just ignore this and reply to let us know not to send you any more. - MPGuy2824 ( talk) 03:50, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to the twenty-second newsletter from the Growth team!
As of the last week of June 2022, the newcomers of the world have completed over 500,000 newcomer tasks. In other words, newcomers have made over half a million Wikipedia edits via Growth’s “Suggested Edits” module.
We have added some new data to Grafana. You can now check the number of edits and reverts by task types, or the number of questions asked to mentors. You can filter the data by wiki.
If you have any questions, or there is more data you want access to, please let us know.
We are continuing our work on our new project, Positive Reinforcement. User testing of initial Positive Reinforcement designs was just completed. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, English, and Spanish. The outcome has been published on the Positive Reinforcement page. We are now utilizing user testing feedback along with prior community feedback to iterate and improve designs.
We are exploring the idea of a Copy Edit structured task. We have tested copy edits in Wikipedia articles for arwiki, bnwiki, cswiki, eswiki (Growth pilot-wikis) and enwiki with two different methods: LanguageTool and Hunspell. We will share more details here and on the associated Copy Edit page once the evaluation is complete.
Add an image was utilized at GLAM events in Argentina, Mexico, and Chile. For an overview of what was learned from these events, read: #1Pic1Article I: how Latin American heritage experts added images to Wikipedia (in English).

A new system for the mentors list
The configuration of the mentors list will change over the next weeks. In the future, mentors will sign up, edit their mentor description and quit using Special:MentorDashboard. This new system will make the development of new features for mentors much easier.
At the moment, the mentor list is a simple page anyone can edit, unless it’s protected. With the new page, mentors will be able to edit only their own description, while administrators will be able to edit the entire mentors' list if needed.
The deployment will happen first at the pilot wikis, then at all wikis. Existing lists of mentors will be automatically converted, no action will be needed from the mentors. [5] [6]
Mentors will be informed about the next steps soon, by a message posted on the talk page of existing Mentor lists.
Learn more about this new structured page on mediawiki.org.
A tip for mentors
Did you know that mentors can filter their mentees' changes at Special:MentorDashboard (and star the ones that require attention)? This feature helps to keep an eye on newcomers' edits, helping mentors to fix minor details, and encourage them if necessary.
And did you know that mentors have special filters to highlight their mentees' edits at Special:RecentChanges? Look for the following filters in RecentChanges: Your starred mentees, Your unstarred mentees.
Other improvements
Some improvements will be made to the mentor dashboard in the coming weeks:

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity (TAMA) and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 October 26#Thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity (TAMA) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
