You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard

Hi, Toadspike. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the § Survey when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 06:43, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

User renamed and active now

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nuraddin historys13/Archive#13 February 2026 having seen the mess just one of the socks can create, if the one you thought was a sleeper is one I'd rather they not stick around. Also someone may need to go dump some ice water on the one article they're disputing over anyway. Jerod Lycett (talk) 09:04, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of 中国 (disambiguation)

The article 中国 (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Disambiguation page not required (WP:ONEOTHER). Primary topic article has a hatnote to the only other use. I have read Talk:China/Archive_22#Hatnote which does warn that this page would fall foul of WP:ONEOTHER

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, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:38, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Toadspike:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:38, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
