newish, question about submitted draft articles?

Hi folks, I'm still fairly new to wikipedia, and I'd like to contribute more to the WikiProject Germany. Although I've searched and read through quite a bit of Wikipedia guidance, I'm still not sure what to do about draft articles. I've written a couple of draft articles by now and submitted them, but they seem to sit a long time under the "Review waiting, please be patient" template. It seems like a worthwhile thing to do to figure out how I can review other people's drafts to relieve this kind of problem in general. Can someone point me in the right direction to learn how to work on this? Snowflakedivertor (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Snowflakedivertor, the place you're looking for is WikiProject Articles for creation. AfC reviewers need to show that they understand notability guidelines, so a history of accepted drafts will help, as will participation at WP:AFD. I recommend lurking at AfD for a little while, then joining some deletion discussions. When you're confident that you understand what articles tend to survive deletion debates, then apply to be an AfC reviewer. AfC would love to have you! -- asilvering (talk) 21:34, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

Many thanks, I'll check this out. Snowflakedivertor (talk) 06:11, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Adelindis von Buchau

The article Adelindis von Buchau has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

three different topics (person/festival/spring), none of which seem particularly notable

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Improving Angela Merkel

Hi everyone! I've been working on Angela Merkel for a while now, and hopefully, it will soon pass it's GA nom. If that does in fact happen (or if it unexpectedly does not), would someone be interested in collaborating on further improving it? My goal is to bring it up to FA, but it would be my first FA, so it'd rather not do it alone. Let me know :) Actualcpscm (talk) 21:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Credibility bot

As this is a highly active WikiProject, I would like to introduce you to Credibility bot. This is a bot that makes it easier to track source usage across articles through automated reports and alerts. We piloted this approach at Wikipedia:Vaccine safety and we want to offer it to any subject area or domain. We need your support to demonstrate demand for this toolkit. If you have a desire for this functionality, or would like to leave other feedback, please endorse the tool or comment at WP:CREDBOT. Thanks! Harej (talk) 17:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Menno Aden

Hi, would appreciate it if someone could have a look at Menno Aden. I've just copyedited it but don't know anything about this person, and am not sure whether the article is a decent summary of his career. In particular, he was described in the lead as "the author of the Neue Rechte". I have changed this to "founder", but the political movement is not mentioned in the rest of the article on Aden, and Aden himself is not mentioned in the Neue Rechte article - so I'm not sure that this is accurate. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 18:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

University of Heidelberg articles

Please refer to the below navbox. I discovered while editing an AFD nomination for Heidelberg University Faculty of Philosophy and History, that much (but not all) of what is listed in the navbox, has little-to-nothing in the way of sourcing. — Maile (talk) 03:55, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Germany:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!
