WikiProject Anarchism checking in

Hey there! Just wanted to say thanks for finding an image of Rosa Laviña for the article I wrote about her recently, and for the article on Marcel·lí Massana too! It's really helpful to have images for people of the Spanish Civil War and resistance to the Francoist dictatorship, as they're so often unavailable on Wikipedia and Wikicommons. I have noticed that, while you're on the WikiProject Anarchism members list, you don't appear to have been very active on our noticeboard, which has recently seen an upsurge in activity. In case you haven't seen what we've been up to, here's an update of our most recent activity:

• In the past couple years, we have brought four articles to Featured status, including the ones on Nestor Makhno, La Salute è in voi, The May Pamphlet and "The Day Before the Revolution". We're likely to get even more to this status in the near future, so stay tuned to the front page for some of our best articles on the platform.
• A number of our most vital articles have been reviewed and achieved Good Article status, including ones on Gaetano Bresci, Camilo Cienfuegos, Joseph Déjacque, Luigi Galleani, Paul Goodman, and the Kronstadt rebellion. As these "vital articles" are generally considered among the most important on the platform, we aim to get as many as possible to GA and FA status over the coming years.
• We recently hit the first milestone for our stub-expansion project, getting the number of stubs down to under 1/5th of our total articles. This means that the vast majority of our articles are now relatively substantial, as we expand and add greater detail to the articles that lack sufficient information. We hope to narrow this number down even further, so more articles have the information they deserve.
• We just started a cleanup drive, in which we are aiming to resolve the problematic parts of our articles, from finding citations for unsourced sections to fixing up formatting errors. In doing this, we intend to make sure our articles provide the best possible reading experience, without unsourced claims or ugly tags littering the page.

If you'd like to be more closely involved in our collective efforts, consider adding our noticeboard to your watchlist or adding your name to our mailing list. We'd be very happy to see you more around the project.

All the best to you, whatever your future plans are. Regards, --Grnrchst (talk) 10:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

@Grnrchst: I appreciate the personalized check in. I'm probably not going to be active on the noticeboard. I'm most likely to contribute to the project by writing articles for women/non-binary anarchists (e.g. Soledad Rosas) or working on content related to anarcho-syndicalism. Let me know if you see any other articles that need images though. Thanks, gobonobo ^{+ c} 01:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

That's a terrific goal and I look forward to seeing more from you in that area! Thanks for getting back. :) --Grnrchst (talk) 08:10, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

Review

Hello, could you please review Draft:Battle of Gochouri? Thanks 45.231.80.107 (talk) 21:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry, 45.231.80.107. Military history isn't exactly my forte and I'd rather leave to someone else. I encourage you to register an account though, so that you can bypass the Articles for Creation process entirely. gobonobo ^{+ c} 01:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
