You are the GOAT for helping bring Great Bear (roller coaster) to GA status! I appreciate your recent help, especially with the Loch Ness Monster DYK (which you should have credit for since your hook appeared on the front page)!

Phenomenal work on South Ferry/Whitehall Street station, Mets-Willets Point station (IRT Flushing Line), and Interstate 495 in New York. Due to grad school, I have not had as much time to edit as I would like to, though I will try to find more time. Tons of articles just need news updates (like the postponement of a portion of the R262 order), updates on Penn Station, more details on track changes for Third Track, the subway weekend czar, and much more.

Welcome to the twenty-third newsletter from the Growth team!
The goal of the Growth team is to encourage newcomers to try editing for the first time, and encourage them to keep editing. We want to increase newcomers' motivation by showing them how impactful their edits are.
Newcomers have access to an impact module; you can find yours at Special:Impact. The revised impact module provides new editors with more context about their impact. It will display the number of edits, the number of thanks received, the last time they edited, the number of consecutive days they edited, and the number of views for the articles they edited.
This module will soon be available at our pilot wikis starting December 1. You can already test this new module at Beta Wikipedia. For safety reasons, do not use your regular account and password at Beta wiki. Create a new, specific account for this wiki, with a different password.
After the deployment of Structured tasks, we received feedback from various communities regarding how patrollers of recent changes were feeling overwhelmed by an increase in edits to check, and how some edits were poor quality or of poor relevance.
We made several improvements based on the feedback we received. Several points of improvement have already been addressed:
The Positive Reinforcement project will also address some of the concerns around encouraging newcomers to progress to higher value edits. The Growth team will soon work on strategies geared at "Leveling up" newcomers so they progress from easy to more difficult tasks.
Special:MentorDashboard
.Special:ManageMentors
— now displays the list of mentors. This page can be transcluded on any other page. There are also new processes to signup as a mentor or to quit mentorship, and we improved community mentorship management.We plan to have a more regular newsletter, every two months. We also want to know if the current format suits you! Let us know what you like, what you like less and your suggestions of improvements: leave us a comment, in your preferred language.
