Throw the damn ball...

Hi Goldsztajn, I remember you once mentioning something similar to me, or perhaps it was Toddy1, "Throw the damn ball and leave it". I'm trying to locate a page for it but I have miserably failed. Could you guys please help me locate it? Best, ─ The Aafī on Mobile ^(talk) 05:25, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

@AafiOnMobile @TheAafi: I don't think it was me, but I think you mean Wikipedia:Catch Once and Leave? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 05:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Yes definitely. That's what I was looking for. Thanks. ─ The Aafī on Mobile ^(talk) 05:46, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

@AafiOnMobile Welcome! Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 05:49, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

@Goldsztajn: I'm thankful to you as ever. As a representative of a thematic affiliate of Wikimedia, focused to betterment, improvement and creation of quality-content related to Muslim academia and scholarship. The affiliate has set a target of 500 articles for February-July 2023 alongside completing a strategic research study. Given your vast experience, the researchers of this project might seek ideas from experienced Wikimedians as well and try to know "how and what makes a better encyclopedia" and how this subjective gap could be reduced. Since you often participate in WikiProject Islam related articles, I hope you can propose some articles to be worked upon and made better. Best, ─ The Aafī (talk) 09:06, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Hi @TheAafi - Thank you for the invitation, unfortunately, I've not had much time these last couple of weeks, but I have this on my radar and I hope to be able to support during April. Kind regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 01:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Goldsztajn. This is enough for me that you are willing to help. I hope that we are successful in defining the strategic methods, we could perhaps study and analyze methods adopted by WikiWomenInRed and other such initiatives and find out what works best in bringing "quality based knowledge" and "quality-based-long-time participation" in the themes that concern the DCW. I have plans to join this year's Wikimedia Summit which generally takes place in Berlin. Attending the event could also be helpful in forming some crosswiki collaborative projects. ─ The Aafī (talk) 04:08, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
