AfC review invite

I noticed from Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/List of reviewers by subject that you have an interest in classical music, on the chance that this includes opera, I thought I'd politely "ping" you here in case you might fancy reviewing my AfC submission: Draft:Marian Pop. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia editing (on the approach to 500 edits) so please excuse me if this isn't the right procedure. Thank you! Marvingauld (talk) 09:17, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

@Marvingauld I'd be delighted to. Doric Loon (talk) 18:53, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Scopf von dem lône

Hello, Doric Loon. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Scopf von dem lône, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:07, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Your Articles for Creation review on TUD Faculty of Computer Science

Hello Doric Loon. This is a reminder that your Articles for Creation review on TUD Faculty of Computer Science is still marked as ongoing for over forty-eight hours. After seventy-two hours, TUD Faculty of Computer Science will be returned to the review queue so that other reviewers may review the draft.

If you wish to continue reviewing the draft but need more time before the bot returns it to the review queue, you can place {{bots|deny=TenshiBot}} on the draft so you can continue your review. Also, if you do not want to receive these notifications, you can place the same template on your talk page. TenshiBot (talk) 09:39, 18 July 2026 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Doric Loon:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in August!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than a month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 August 2026 through 31 August 2026.

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

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 5000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:37, 19 July 2026 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.
