New Page Reviewers are asked to be especially on the look out 08:00-20:00 UTC (that's local London time - check your USA and AUS times) on Thursday 8 December for new pages.

RC Patrol-related Proposals in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey
Greetings Recent Changes Patrollers!

This is a one-time-only message to inform you about technical proposals related to Recent Changes Patrol in the 2016 Community Wishlist Survey that I think you may be interested in reviewing and perhaps even voting for:


 * 1) Adjust number of entries and days at Last unpatrolled
 * 2) Editor-focused central editing dashboard
 * 3) "Hide trusted users" checkbox option on watchlists and related/recent changes (RC) pages
 * 4) Real-Time Recent Changes App for Android
 * 5) Shortcut for patrollers to last changes list

Further, there are more than 20 proposals related to Watchlists in general that you may be interested in reviewing. (and over 260 proposals in all, across many aspects of wikis)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.

Note: You received this message because you have transcluded User wikipedia/RC Patrol (user box) on your user page. Since this message is "one-time-only" there is no opt out for future mailings.

Best regards, — Delivered: 01:12, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

CVU Training
Omni Flames, could you please train me for the CVU? Thanks. JustAGuyOnWikipedia (talk) 00:33, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hey, sorry, but I'm not really active here anymore, as evidenced by the 4 day wait in your reply. You'd be better off trying someone else. My apologies.  Omni Flames ( talk ) 00:17, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, I've tried every trainer. None have gotten back to me yet other than you. JustAGuyOnWikipedia ( To see my User page, click here) (talk) 02:07, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that makes things tough then. I know the CVU program is nowhere near as active as it once was. Have you tried ? He's pretty experienced in counter-vandalism and I think he would make a great trainer for you. If he's busy or doesn't want to do it, then I'll take you in.  Omni Flames ( talk ) 01:16, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm active enough to take you in. Thanks for the ping Omni. Dat GuyTalkContribs 10:36, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

WikiCup December newsletter: WikiCup 2017
On 1 January 2017, WikiCup 2017 (the 10th Annual WikiCup) will begin. This year we are trying something a little different – monetary prizes.

For the WC2017 the prizes will be as follows (amounts are based in US$ and will be awarded in the form of an online Amazon gift certificate):
 * First place – $200
 * Second & Third place – $50 each
 * Category prizes – $25 per category (which will be limited to FA, FL, FP, GA, and DYK for 2017). Winning a category prize does not require making it to the final round.

Note: Monetary prizes are a one-year experiment for 2017 and may or may not be continued in the future. In order to be eligible to receive any of the prizes above, the competing Wikipedia account must have a valid/active email address. After two years as a WikiCup judge, Figureskatingfan is stepping down. We thank her for her contributions as a WikiCup judge. We are pleased to announce that our newest judge is two-time WikiCup champion Cwmhiraeth.

The judges for the 2017 WikiCup are, , and.

Signups are open now and will remain open until 5 February 2017. You can sign up here.

Hi Omni Flames
Hi Omni Flames, I wanted to request you to review a script I recently made based on your pending changes script. I wanted your inputs on whether I've done the script right... Thanks. Lourdes 15:41, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Request for Huawei Honor article
Greetings! Since you implemented my Punit Renjen article at AfC, I thought I'd see if you were available to review my edit request to implement an expanded and updated Huawei Honor draft. I submitted a request a while back, and I've pinged several people for help, but there must be more editors reviewing AfC drafts than edit requests. If you are willing to help, you can view my edit request at Talk:Huawei Honor. Thanks for your consideration. Inkian Jason (talk) 19:08, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
