You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Jefferson Airplane Edit
Hello Mudwater, I noticed you reverted my recent revert edit to the Jefferson Airplane page, changing the year back to 1974 from 1984. While you are correct about the transition from Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship happening in 1974, this specific section of the article, labeled "Reunions and other performances, 1989–present," is dealing with the events that led to the 1989 Jefferson Airplane reunion. The sentence in question is referring to the change from Jefferson Starship to Starship, which began in 1984 when Paul Kantner left the band. This led to the KBC Band and so on until the JA reunion happened. As such, I think it should be changed back to 1984. Your thoughts? Regards, AbleGus (talk) 03:11, 26 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello. Thanks for the note.  Yeah, I missed that.  I've changed it back, here. — Mudwater (Talk) 10:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Why do you contradict yourself
OK, so I updated the links for Dallas & Texas on Dave's Picks 43, the state of New York on Dave's Picks 12 and the city of New York on Dave's Picks 14 because they are all first time mentions of these locations within this segment of the page and you go back and undo them....WTF!!!! My edits were all in line with all of the following Dave's Picks: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 26, 27, 28, 32, 34 and 41 - whereby both the city and the state are separately linked the first time both are listed within this segment. So what makes my edits wrong when all of the others aren't?????

You contradict yourself MUDWATER and then you hide behind fuckwad editing rules when those editing rules ARE NOT CONSISTENTLY FOLLOWED THROUGHOUT THIS ARTICLE.
