Hi Hydrangeans. Thank you for your work on Horton Davies. Another editor, Aszx5000, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Excellent work. You are constructing articles of a consistently high quality - why are you not autopatrolled? thanks.

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Aszx5000}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

@Aszx5000: Thanks for your kind words; I try my best.

A user needs to have created at least 25 articles, and I've only created a bit less than half that many. Even if I reach that benchmark, I don't create articles that often, so the main purpose (to reduce the workload of new pages patrol by removing prolific high-quality creators' new articles from the patrol pool) may not quite apply.

You are writing large high quality GA-rated article (I see that you have 5), which unfortunately do take time to patrol. Your articles are of a very high quality and in topic areas that would raise no red flags with autopatrolling. It is your choice, and but with +10,000 unreviewed articles (and +300 b-grade articles) on the queue, there is no need for any of yours to be on it. And maybe you might like to try patrolling the +B-grade articles someday. Obviously your choice but I wanted to let you know :) 11:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC) Aszx5000 (talk) 11:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't thought about how the length of a new article adds to the time consumed by patrolling. And a lot of the articles I've created have been lengthy at creation. I'll keep this in mind for when I pass the 25 article threshold. Thanks for the elaboration, and for the invitation to try patrolling; I'll give that some thought.

On 3 July 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that American Colossus is a biography of a man who was "the most famous sportsman in the world" and "the most forgotten great athlete in American history"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, American Colossus: Big Bill Tilden and the Creation of Modern Tennis), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
