Autopatrolled granted

Hi AmateurHi$torian, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:38, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Requesting some article expansion and development help

Hi,

Greetings @AmateurHi$torian, I am User:Bookku.

I am looking for some help in recovering (with the help of Wikipedia:REFUND/G13 request) and further developing following partially developed drafts if you find the topics interested in.

• Draft:Ramalinga Vilasam palace

I initiate and support update in information and knowledge gap areas on WP wherever whenever possible. Time to time, also invite other users in draft/ article expansion work for diversity in inputs.

Now a days I mainly work in own user namespace sandboxes for example Presently working on the draft User:Bookku/Indian sceptre. Like you, previously, I have also lost some of well created drafts to unfortunate WP:G13 policy, hence the above request.

Requesting you to visit the draft article User:Bookku/Indian sceptre and provide article expansion, copy edit or any suitable input help in the draft if the topic interests you.

Just fyi: How I came to user name? From Template DYK nominations. Thought that you may be interested in paintings related articles and Draft:Ramalinga Vilasam palace has substantial component relating to paintings hence the request. Thanks Bookku (talk) 07:51, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

@Bookku: If the Ramalinga Vilasam palace in question is this one, then it's certainly notable and deserves an article of it's own. How can I help with the draft recovery? I haven't seen an entry for the draft at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. -AmateurHi$torian (talk) 07:09, 18 November 2025 (UTC)

Yes it's the same. I got the draft recovered. It, and paintings there, are academically too well covered. You can have a look at it. Actually I wish if you like the topic can help further expansion of the article. Bookku (talk) 05:12, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
