28 Squadron RAF page

Thanks for your edits on the page for this squadron! We need to edit the battle honours and the heraldic badge- as I have no real clue how to do this I wonder fi you would agree to help? ~2026-27720-44 (talk) 13:25, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I was just fixing a link, I'm not otherwise familiar with the article or the topic. I recommend you leave a message at Talk:No. 28 Squadron RAF and also at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history seeking help, being as specific as possible as to what you want changed and how.

Hello Mdewman6,

New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Robert C. Pringle

This move was not a productive change. Last time I checked, parenthetical disambiguation was an optional choice, not actually against any of the set rules, either of MOS or WP:SHIP. There are innumerable articles on Wikipedia using a similar title style, as it is precisely that, a personal choice of the writer, a bit like ENGVAR. If the ship is sufficiently well-known (i. e. Titanic), we could rely on WP:COMMONNAME to settle such matters. However, in cases where a vessel is relatively obscure, a title like this is confusing, since it falsely implies an article is covering a person, rather than a ship. Akaza ^[talk] 09:13, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

@Akaza:. The issue is WP:QUALIFIER, we use parenthetical disambiguation when there is something to disambiguate with. If the ship's namesake were covered on Wikipedia, then adding the qualifier would be appropriate, but having the base name Robert C. Pringle be a redirect to Robert C. Pringle (tug) is WP:MISPLACED. I'll start an RM. Mdewman6 (talk) 22:16, 23 May 2026 (UTC)
