 * The new page backlog is currently at 16,991 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
 * has created a NPP browser in WMF Labs that allows you to search new unreviewed pages using keywords and categories.
 * The Wikimedia Foundation Community Tech team is working with the community to implement the autoconfirmed article creation trial. The trial is currently set to start on 7 September 2017, pending final approval of the technical features.
 * Please remember to focus on the quality of review: correct tagging of articles and not tagbombing are important. Searching for potential copyright violations is also important, and it can be aided by Earwig's Copyvio Detector, which can be added to your toolbar for ease of use with this user script.
 * To keep up with the latest conversation on New Pages Patrol or to ask questions, you can go to Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers and add it to your watchlist.

Ways to improve Frederic Matys Thursz
Hi, I'm Mduvekot. KathrynLybarger, thanks for creating Frederic Matys Thursz!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. While it is true that the (anonymous) author of the bio at the Sammlung Zimmermann says that he is "considered one of the most important representatives of post-modern colour painting of the 1980s in Europe as well as the United States" it is not clear WHO says that. None of the other sources say anything that comes even close to that. I think that toning it down a bit would be in order, don't you think?

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

 * Fair point! I have removed that language and the tag. Thank you for your help! --KathrynLybarger (talk) 11:39, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
