Beverley Nielsen
Tell me what copyediting is needed for Beverley Nielsen. I don't see a problem with names, unless her name should be changed.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 01:10, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
 * the formatting of the name needs to be changed - the surname takes priority over forename when mentioning the subject more than once. Nördic   Nightfury  08:32, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter No.2
Hello , We now have New Page Reviewers! Most of us requested the user right at PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October. [[
 * A HUGE backlog

File:New_Pages_backlog_2016_-5_Feb_2017.jpg|thumb|350px|right|Hitting soon]]

The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work! It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to. Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten. This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody,  and

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lafayette Square station
Why did you close Articles for deletion/Lafayette Square station? I had several open questions that hadn't been answered. The "Keep" votes largely cited an existing consensus but no one explained where that consensus was recorded. What am I missing here? Powers T 15:45, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The term "test case" said it all for me. As I said on closure, these sort of pages should not be nominated for deletion via AfD. The discussion should be made using a PROD with general consensus to be achieved on the article's talk page. Feel free to continue the discussion there. Nördic   Nightfury  18:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Well I wasn't going to do a test case, but WP:AFD says: "However, for group nominations it is often a good idea to only list one article at afd and see how it goes, before listing an entire group." So that's what I did. Your advice seems to directly contradict that. Powers T 01:23, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * , Not really; that is just a guideline of how to nominate a group of AfDs. There is no guidelines stating "test cases", so I am wholly within my right to suggest what I said, which was that consensus should be reached via a PROD or discussion on the article's talk page before being nominated. Regarding the questions, feel free to start up a new discussion on the talk page and ping the appropriate users. Thanks. Nördic   Nightfury  08:26, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we're not using the phrase "test case" to mean the same thing? When I said "test case" I specifically was referring to what's in the guideline. Powers T 23:58, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Help request
How can I stop Twinkle automatically adding a page to my watchlist once I tag it? Thanks Nördic   Nightfury  10:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * At Twinkle/Preferences you can customize under what conditions Twinkle will add pages to your watchlist. Huon (talk) 11:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

David Game College]]
I remind you that educational institutions can not be deleted via a7. And neither the version you tagged nor the current version is particularly promotional. An earlier deleted version in 2012 was totally an advertisement, and properly deleted via g11, Thecurrent one could use some rewording, but mostarticles about school have a sentence or two about the goals.
