New page reviewer granted
Hi Darling. Your account has been added to the " " user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
 * Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging  pages for maintenance so that  they are aware.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
 * If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
 * Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
 * Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. signed,Rosguill talk 01:11, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

AfD Format Change
Question: You changed my !vote format from Merge to X to Merge to X. I do not mind in any way, but always look for ways to be a better editor. Is there WP documentation preferring one over the other? I've had an admin suggest that putting the target inside the bold made it easier for them to determine consensus on a target, but it may have just been that person (or long enough ago that it's changed). Thanking You in Advance, Last1in (talk) 19:27, 28 December 2023 (UTC)


 * hi--that was a mistake on my end; I had simply meant to bullet your vote. as for your question: I don't think it matters how you bold it, but I've mostly seen people just bold the one word and leave the "to x" out of it. Darling ☔ (talk · contribs) 19:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
 * You're wonderful! Thank you. And you really didn't need to change it back. I thought it was cool that you thought to correct my [bleep]-up! Cheers, Last1in (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
