You added an OTRS template to this file. Did you notice that there are two photos in the history? Does the ticket apply to both of them or only to one of them? --Stefan2 (talk) 16:15, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for asking. The discussion in the ticket was about the two later versions. I have just asked the photographer about the first version on your behalf.  — Jeff G. ツ 16:30, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
 * This concerns your uploads.  — Jeff G. ツ 16:38, 30 June 2018 (UTC)


 * If the old revision turns out to be unfree, then it needs to be deleted per WP:F5. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:27, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Bot work again
Hi, will the JeffGbot be operational again? It did a lot of good work I see back in 2011. Regards--BabbaQ (talk) 09:14, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I will look into it. Sadly, the computer which ran it is no longer functional.  — Jeff G. ツ 13:08, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * OK, it might be difficult then. But take a look at it. Thanks!--BabbaQ (talk) 13:44, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

NPR Newsletter No.12 30 July 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers. Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly 1,400 already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.
 * June backlog drive


 * New technology, new rules
 * New features are shortly going to be added to the Special:NewPagesFeed which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at this page.
 * Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
 * Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.


 * Editathons
 * Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

 * The Signpost
 * The next issue of the monthly magazine will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team here.
