Global lock

Any idea why it is taking so long for a global lock on User:Im the simplest person? I reported to meta:Stewards (and that interface is not user friendly). I thought I would ask you as you are so active with SWV and combating vandalism. SVTCobra 08:06, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

I guess there would be many reasons. Some factors that I can easily imagine is due to time zone differences (our stewards come from different regions around the world), and there are many accounts waiting for global locks. MathXplore (talk) 08:10, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

(Note) The user is now locked. MathXplore (talk) 08:38, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Reporting??

You do a lot of clean up work here (Thanks, by the way!) -- Have you ever considered doing a bit of journalism?--Bddpaux (talk) 21:40, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

(About journalistic availability) Hello. I understand that the trend at here is mainly the news of the United States. I think there are many editors who have better coverage in this area. I don't think I can do better than them, and I don't know if I have enough resources to pass the reviewing procedure. If there are any requests to translate JAWN news articles, I might be able to help them. MathXplore (talk) 05:57, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

(Availability for other type of assistance) Instead I mainly aim to assist the journalistic objectives of this project. For example, categorization of the news articles. I have already helped the categorization at ENWQ/ENWV/ENWS, simplewiki, etc. and I look forward to helping here in this area. I usually try to add relevant categories to new article submissions, and sometimes I see commonly used categories at other projects are not existing here. Since many news archives are fully protected here, I think the creation of new categories are harder than other places. If we had an edit-protected user group like the Spanish Wikinews (es:Special:ListGroupRights) or any other alternative, my categorization works can be more effective, but that is not what we currently we have. I will continue to work with the tools that I'm allowed to have. MathXplore (talk) 06:12, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Help me: 'JAWN' news articles?? And, just as a prompt: This is English WN......so, if there is a news worthy event that happens in Malaysia, Paraguay, Belize, China, Japan etc. etc. etc., -- we value an article pertaining to it -- I promise! Sometimes (outside the US), people get deeply hung up on being an 'accredited' reporter..... If you were to, say, watch an important sporting event, you could submit a news article here about it! 'Credentials' in that regard are deemed more important in some ways outside the US, but we don't require that necessarily. Anyway: Thanks for what you do here. Let me know if I can help in some way.--Bddpaux (talk) 14:21, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, the help I think that would be needed is the processing of the (speedy) deletion requests, I think many users will agree to this point. I have no other specific requests at this moment. Thank you for the guidances. MathXplore (talk) 02:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
