Hi Rosiestep,
I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been working on creating a Wikipedia draft for Jayd Poels, a young Belgian field hockey player. I’ve prepared a neutral, verifiable draft with references from HLN, Le Soir, EuroHockey, and official league sites, and I’ve included an infobox with his club and international career.
Since this is my first draft submission, I would really appreciate your guidance in reviewing it and making sure it meets Wikipedia’s standards before I submit it for review.
Here’s the draft page I’ve prepared: Draft:Jayd Poels
Thank you so much for your time and support!
Best regards,Granchini

Welcome to Phase 2 of theJanuary–February 2026 NPP drive. DuringPhase 1, we reviewed 16,658 articles and 4,416 redirects, and there is currently a backlog of 16,475 articles and 23,782 redirects in the queue. Fantastic job! Completing 22,502 patrols in the first phase made a significant dent in the backlog. Let's keep our foot on the gas for Phase 2, and I hope we can achieve even more reviews than Phase 1. Best of luck!

News and updates for administrators from the past month (January 2026).
Hello, I made this account to change, or someone else to change a page about the House of Saxe-Gessaphe, the House of Gessaphe leads to a page about the Assaf Dynasty in Turkey. But I would still like to find out to edit pages for inaccuracies and what the rules are to follow to ensure accuracy. --Mattthaaeeus (talk)19:50, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
... rules ... to follow to ensure accuracy ...: add areliable, secondary source that substantiates the edit you make to theSaxe-Gessaphe and/orAssaf dynasty pages. Thanks for wanting to edit Wikipedia; just by showing up, you are already a valuable member of our community. --Rosiestep (talk)18:55, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
