n'ayant pu m'écrire bien, ils m'ont écrit mal edit

The phrase n'ayant pu me corrompre, ils m'ont assassiné popped into my head for some reason today, and I wondered whether there was a redirect from that to The Death of Marat. I was surprised to find not only no redirect, but no mention of the phrase, and in fact nothing about the Louvre copy (where that phrase appears) other than a single sentence about its existence. What content we do have on the painting is, well, disappointing. Since my own content pipeline is backed up several months right now, and I've seen your work before on French art of that era, I thought I'd put it on your radar, either if you're interested or if you know someone who might be. Easily GA material with some work, seemingly Quarter-Million-Award-eligible. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 23:08, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Tamzin, I hope you're doing well!
Thank you for thinking of me for this and my apologies for a ridiculous delay in replying to you. I have been on a semi wikibreak due to dissertation deadlines and will not be as active likely until the end of the calendar year. That being said, I would not be not opposed to spacing this out as a long-term project.
It's definitely worth the time and I am drawn to the work for a variety of reasons, from David's own politics to stimulating scholarship it has since generated, including T.J. Clark's reading (which is only briefly mentioned). I'd love to continue this conversation! :) Ppt91talk 19:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024 edit

Hello Ppt91,

 
New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

 

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
