Wilf Lunn
Hi Andy, hope you are well. Thanks for the image you provided some time ago. I have now added to his article. I expect you will have heard about his passing in December? Kind regards. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes thanks, Yes, sad to hear about Wilf. I didn't know him well myself, but we had a few friends in common.
 * I'd probably have added that photo years ago, except it's such a poor photo (taken right into the Sun). I'll see if I've any other releasable photos. There used to be some more up, but they were deleted for being 'promotional'. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:36, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
 * How ridiculous. Yesm not the best picture, but I thought it was better than nothing for the main body. Not a huge article anyway, but a gallery would be very nice if there were images available. A great British eccentric, not unlike that other one. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Sock rv
Just curious about - is this IP a confirmed sock? Just appears a little odd as they’re still editing away freely… surely if you suspect they’re a sock it should be taken to SPI? Danners430 (talk) 21:35, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Take it to SPI if you wish. But what's the point? They'll just get blocked (they're already blocked) until they reboot their router. Or (worse) some admin will issue another of those massive rangeblocks and take out half of Lancashire.
 * But the editing style is pure Moylsey and the IP locates to Sefton. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:11, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Might be worth a poke… Moylsey isn't someone I've come across so I don't know their style Danners430 (talk) 22:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Edit warring at the Norden bombsight article
Greetings Andy. The persistent editor at that page is not getting the picture. The term tachometric belongs. Its linked. It needs elaboration in the body. (See edit summaries in page history.) Thought you'd like to know. 2601:196:180:DC0:F420:CBC4:36C1:1932 (talk) 14:27, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
