Unlock
And there my dear. You really have to be considerate. I don't know how to get unlocked in Miraheze. I already told you I don't have an account. I just need to be unlocked to edit the wikis, if not they are deleted! Help please. --YellowFrogger Pixial (talk) 17:08, 4 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Pixial, please note that the correct venue for you to e-mail as been explained to you. You have my e-mail address, but should you have forgotten it, please see . Thank you. Dmehus (talk) 05:52, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear, although I am extremely wrong in saying here, the email is too slow and the stewards are neglecting to stop responding to the emails out of nowhere. Greetings. Also, you know there's no way I can email you on the wiki as the account is locked globally and I can't log into it. &#123;&#123;User:Pixial/sig&#125;&#125; (talk) 23:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm rushed and always 1 day for me is 1 week and 1 month is 5 months. There are still the problems of wikis being deleted. So I ask that you please consider unlocking, because really, at least for me, there are no steps to follow. &#123;&#123;User:Pixial/sig&#125;&#125; (talk) 23:49, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

You've got mail!

 * Everything worked. You don't need to look but to the email. Greetings and good work to you. &#123;&#123;User:Pixial/sig&#125;&#125; (talk) 04:10, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello ,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 at the end of May.
 * Backlog status

Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.

In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).

While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).

A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
 * Backlog drive

Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
 * TIP – New school articles

There is a new template available,, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
 * Misc

There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.


 * 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.
