Page mover granted

Hello, Rich Smith. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 16:58, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

RichBot: Checking drafts for Copyvios failure

RichBot's task "Checking drafts for Copyvios" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 day, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 13:20, 2 January 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia article about Karlton Jones

Hi Rich, thank you for your help with the Wikipedia article I wrote for Karlton Jones. Can you please tell me is it possible for the review process to be completed sooner and for my article to be published sooner? I'm new to wikipedia and I don't know everything that is involved with getting the article about Karlton published and showing live on wikipedia when someone google's his name. I sincerely thank you for your help and I look forward to hearing from you. DreamsRealized7 (talk) 11:28, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

@DreamsRealized7: No, it may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order. There are 2,442 pending submissions waiting for review. Wikipedia has no deadlines, why the rush? Are you needing this published so you can be paid? - RichT|C|E-Mail 11:33, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
