Question from Jefferebu (15:57, 26 July 2022)
Hello, how to start writting an article --Jefferebu (talk) 15:57, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * , Good day. You can read WP:Your first article on how to start write an article in Wikipedia. However, to write an article in Wikipedia is a hard task. I would suggest you to do some minor edits such as spelling, typo, grammar corrections and etc first - see Finding things to do. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia   talk  06:34, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

Counter Vandalism Student Apply
Hi I would love to be a part on how to counter Vandalism. Thank you Rejoy2003 (talk) 17:36, 27 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Good day. Thank yo for interested in joining CVUA. I had a look at your contribution log and talk page. You have been warned several times for creating promotional articles, violate of copyright which Wikipedia takes this matter very seriously and adding info on the articles which were not supported by sources. All this is part o vandalism and the most concern of the top two is promotion/spam added and violation of copyright material which you have done repeatedly and admin has given you the last warning. I dont think you are ready to take on the CVUA program until you could contribute constructively. Btw, all deleted edits/info can always be viewed from the history log, so it is better for you to archive your talk page instead of removing all the warnings messages - see Help:Archiving a talk page for instruction.  Cassiopeia  talk  07:00, 30 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Cassiopeia, thanks for the message. I'm constantly learning and trying to be a good contributor but my actions mostly seem to be going towards the wrong direction.


 * I shall fix this and most likely be less on Wikipedia now. Also on this note, I find archiving my talk page really confusing. I checked the link but it hardly helped. Could you guide me? Rejoy2003 (talk) 14:16, 30 July 2022 (UTC)


 * if you want, you can copy my talk page archive format on to your talk page - see here (copy all except the first line (TPS/banner)). Cassiopeia   talk  05:04, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Restoration of talk page messages
Hello Cassiopeia, apologies for being a bit late writing this message. Yesterday, IP was blocked for repeated vandalism, which I was reverting for a quarter-hour beforehand. I noticed you reverted their blanking of the warnings I and others had given them here and here. I wanted to ask, was there a reason you were restoring those messages? As far as I know there is no policy prohibiting users, registered or otherwise, blanking messages on their own user talk page messages (as per WP:BLANKING).

Looking forward to your reply. Also pinging and  who also reverted blankings by the same IP here and here. Linguist111 (talk) 09:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It appears I was wrong in restoring the comments. As I remembered it, we can restore comments regarding a block while the block is ongoing. I remembered wrong, since that only applies to declined unblock requests while the block is still in effect. I will try to remember that in the future. Sjö (talk) 10:05, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * No policy against blanking, and I never touch the talk page of another user. However given this was an IP solely engaged in vandalism I was restoring the warnings so admin could easily see them. However after the IP kept blanking, I gave up and left it for admin to check page history. MaxnaCarta (talk) 12:08, 6 August 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello ,

After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators and, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
 * Backlog status

Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.


 * Coordination: and  have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out.  will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.


 * Open letter to the WMF: The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.


 * TIP - Reviewing by subject: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.


 * New reviewers: The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.


 * Reminders
 * Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
 * If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing on their talk page.
 * If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
 * To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Counter vandalism enrollment
Hello and good day. I haven't had from my soon-to-be-mentor for the past 24 hours. I would be honoured to learn under you and to have you as a trainer. CHEERS Uricdivine (talk) 22:11, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Good day and thank you for interested in joining CVUA. You have been warning many times regarding adding unsourced content and I hope by now you have learnt what IS|independent, reliable sources are and the reasons for WP:V and WP:BURDEN (I do expect you to read the links I place here). Secondly, pls dont report editors to [ Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] (ANI) for some trivial disruptive issues or vandalism edits. ANI is for issues which have been (usually) discussed in the article talk pages with the involved parties and still would not find a resolution to slove the issues that greatly impact the article. So only report the editor to ANI when it is super necessary. Excessive vandalism or disruptive edits can be report to AIV which is what CVUA program is all about. To join CVUA, you are require to read the links/guidelines provided and do the assignments which would take up some of your personal time. Many participants would abandam the program because they find the work load was a little too much even they have been info prior joining the program. If you still want to join the program after info above provided then pls complete WP:TWA (very short program - about 90 mins) first so you may understand some of the basic Wikipedia guidelines. Pop back here when you have done TWA. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia   talk  05:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hello, Cassiopeia. After reading the links you sent in the afternoon and finishing it now I decided to begin WP:TWA but I always get stuck In "Edit user space". In the instructions is states that it won't work with visual editing only source but my editing button reads "Edit source". After editing my userspace I dont see any thing again only "<---" Nothing else. Please am I doing any other thing wrong?.... Am a mobile editor and I use Mozilla Firefox (might that be the problem?).  Please guide me. Cheers Uricdivine (talk) 21:23, 4 August 2022 (UTC)


 * For any questions on an edit, you need to provide the hist diff (that particular edit made) so I may know what is the issue. Pls go to the link provide (hist diff) and provide the info.  Cassiopeia</b>  talk  01:10, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Am sorry for being a burden on you. Am really interested to complete this, after seeing this message I went to the link site and I tapped "start the adventure" multiple times but nothing was happening. I had to change browser and logged in to my uc browser (I was on Firefox) still if I tap it the adventure doesn't begin. I first taught it was rain due to rain was falling so i wanted to wait for the till this night. Now I have tried clicking it is not still working and am sure the problem isn't network please is there anyway I can fix this. CHEERS Uricdivine (talk) 21:32, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I uploaded an image of the particular place am always stuck so would better understand the problem am encountering Screenshot!.png this is the screenshot, whenever I reach here I don't know what to do again please help me. CHEERS Uricdivine (talk) 21:46, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
 * From your screen shot, the system asked you to use "source editing" mode to edit the page. I believe you used "visual editing" mode. The source/visual editing modes can be found at the top right on the main manu on every page. Look for the "pencil/pen" icon and click the drop down list and choose "source editing". As for TWA, you have to do the assignment on laptop/computer and not on the mobile. Finally, you still need to learn how to provie "hist diff" for CVUA program. Let me know if have any other questions. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  01:57, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Since am a mobile editor I believe WP:TWA is not for me. Thanks for trying. But if there is any way I can graduate from Cuva with a mobile phone please let me know. Uricdivine (talk) 15:39, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Let me as for "help" Uricdivine (talk) 21:05, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * TWA is for every editor and it provide great help especially for new editor to understand Wikipedia guidelines so editors would edit constructively. There are some features that mobile editors might not have, so it would be difficult for you to join the program. I suggest you to use a lap top or computer even you want to edit casually.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  03:38, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply. I had a problem with my laptop, is being fixed now, that means I can't use it for another two weeks or days. That's the reason I said I believe is not for me maybe not now, according to a user on teahouse he said I can graduate even though am using Mobile is that right?. I wanted to ask someone unrelated to this current subject in the teahouse but I felt that attention would be removed from my WP:ADVENTURE topic.. the question is how did you customize your signature with color and design?. CHEERS, happiest editing. Uricdivine (talk) 16:57, 7 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey pm, never mind about the signature I think I have learnt and done mine now. CHEERS happy editing <span style="color: white; font-weight: bold; background: linear-gradient(Darkgreen, DarkGray, black)">Uricdivine Talk? 00:07, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

Pls note that CVUA program do require you to read Wikipedia guidelines (reading material) an doing the assingment which will take some of your personal free time. Many participant abandon the program as they didnt foresee the amount of work and time they need to do and spend on the assignment. So if you still want to join the program after reading the above info, then pop back here. In the meantime, pls complete WP:TWA program (about 90 mins) so you may understand some of the basic Wikipedia guidelines prior starting CVUA program.
 * Lastly, pls remove "Add your ads here. I really don't care." as Wikipedia is an enclyopedia and adding any ads would consider promotional and it violate the important Wikipedia guidlines.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  05:16, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Dominick Cruz date of birth
To Cassiopeia: Hello, I have made edits to MMA fighter Dominick Cruz date of birth and it seems you have reversed them numerous times. If you were a fan of Dominick Cruz, you would know that his birthday is 03/09/1985 not 09/03/1985. You can check his social media pages such as Instagram to verify this. He even did an interview with MMAFighting.com saying “Someone on Wikipedia put my birthday as September and I don’t know why”. You can literally click on the reference source link and it will take you to Sherdog, an mma website, that verifies his real date of birth. You wrote to me about vandalism, but you should do your research. 72.26.48.146 (talk) 20:33, 12 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Good day. Thank you for your message above. I always check the change of DoB for the MMA fighter on Sherdog web page (as per existing source) prior revert (I remember most of the UFC fighter nickname but not DoB) and both incidents were Sept 3. I reverted your edits as you added content were not source and the then cited info was correct for such vandalism messages were posted in your talk page. I check again today after reading your message and it has changed to March 9 in Sherdog, I guess somehow someone info Sherdog of their mistake/error (I have informed Sherdog and UFC many times on their errors via twitter and Sherdog did change the info such as they indicated a fighter is already dead but she was actually was fighting in next 2 days, but UFC made so many mistakes and even after I informed them, it will take them a few days to correct they errors) and I will change the info as per source. (note: instragram, facebook and all social media is considered not reliable in Wikipedia and the what the subject said (Dom in this case) is considered not independent source in Wikipedia).Stay safe and best<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>   talk

NPP School
Hey there, I see you might have a student slot available for NPP school. I'm interested in participating and have begun reviewing the material. Let me know if you'd be willing to take me on, or if you have any questions for me. Retswerb (talk) 05:28, 13 August 2022 (UTC)


 * , Good day. Thank you for interested in joining NPPS. Please note that NPPS is a comprehension program and would require you to read some guidelines (reading material / links) and work on the assignment. Thus it would require you to spend some of your personal time to complete the program. However, the program has not time set limit for completion and every participant would work on the assignment at their own pace. Most participant would complete the program in 3 months. Let me know if you are still interested in joining the program after knowing the info above and I will set up the program for you. Stay safe and best.<b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  07:23, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi - yes, I understand that there will be reading and assignments and that it will require a time investment on my part. I am interested in joining, let me know next steps when it's convenient for you. Thank you! Retswerb (talk) 08:20, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
