Articles for Creation (AFC) process

When you create an article through Wikipedia's Articles for Creation process, it creates a draft in the Drafts area. The purpose of AfC process is to help new editors learn how to write better articles.

If accepted, your draft can be a valuable contribution to the encyclopedia. Wikipedia is over 17 years old and has well over five million articles. The vast majority of those articles never went through AfC which is only a few years old.

AfC works as a peer review process in which registered editors can either help create an article submitted or decline the article because it is unsuitable for Wikipedia. To nominate an existing draft or user sandbox for review at Articles for Creation, add the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or sandbox page. The AfC process allows others to review the draft when you are ready, and also to create the article for you, if it is suitable.

Counter-Vandalism Unit Enrollment

Hello Cassiopeia, I’m Khrincan. I’m interested in enrolling in the Counter-Vandalism Academy, and I see that you have a slot available. I want to join CVAU because I patrol recent changes- but I sometimes make mistakes when I undo edits and interact with other users. I want to reduce my inaccuracies as much as possible and learn about other means of counter-vandalism. Thanks. Khrincan (talk) 18:13, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Khrincan Good day. Thank you for interested in CVUA program. Pls note that the program do require a lot of your time to do the assignments and reading the material (links) provided. If you are still interested then pls complete WP:TWA first (about 45 mins) and when you have finished then pop back here and let me know so I could set up the program for you. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 20:53, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’ve completed the seven missions of TWA, albeit with some difficulty navigating through it, so I’m not sure if I’ve gone through all material. But, if I’m good, I’m prepared for the program to start. Khrincan (talk) 21:56, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #555

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Vector 2020 skin: the search that works properly with Wikidata has been deployed
    • Entity Schemas: Making progress on the proof of concept that will help us figure out the technical way forward
    • REST API: getting ready to deploy the first version to test.wikidata.org on February 17th
    • Lexicographical data: When linking to a Sense in a statement the language of the Lexeme for that Sense is now also shown. This makes it easier to understand translation statements for example (phab:T207392)
    • Constraints: Constraint violations are now also shown to logged out users (phab:T272132)
    • Fixing a regression where Wikipedia and co are no longer notified about a disconnected sitelink when the Item that contains the sitelink is deleted (phab:T326082)

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Army Cadet Force edits

Good evening, I am writing this as a reasoning behind my edit toward the post; and my justification for it. Unfortunately I have no published evidence, only first hand experience as within my company the rule of thumb was ‘1 star passed, JCIC passed’ to achieve the rank of Corporal. However, should you still need evidence other than my word, which is completely logical, please reply and I will do my best to search for it. Have a good day, and thank you for your time. -Equilibrium. ClandestineEquilibrium (talk) 23:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
