Regarding Draft:Template:2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup Group A
Hey Paul Vaurie, you recently rejected the above draft stating it lacks any references. But, it is a template which will be used as a points table in 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup article, in case it still requires any source I have added few citations in my new submission. I would be grateful if you could review it, thanks. Cric editor (talk) 7:10, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello... I've never seen such articles exist. I went on the 2022 aricle and there didn't appear to be sub-articles for each group. There's no precedence to this in ICC Men's T20 World Cup articles, and I know nothing about cricket, so I rather leave the review for another editor. I just rejected because I saw "no citations", which is unacceptable (in the most literal sense). Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:26, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry. It's a template. Let me review it again. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:28, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * My bad. For some reason, I thought it was an article fork. I've accepted it. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks bud Cric editor (talk) 03:08, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not offended, but just so you know, most people see "bud" and "buddy" as condescending from people they don't know well. Paul Vaurie (talk) 03:30, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Ohh! I wasn't aware of it, I'm sorry if it seemed that way Cric editor (talk) 03:35, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Cleanup for article
Dear Paul, thanks for noticing that my draft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mestre_Sapo needs cleanup, please could you be more specific? Cheers, Daniele DanieleGamba1995 (talk) 11:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sure! Firstly, the citations go after the periods. Next, you might want an WP:Infobox (most biographies have them). I saw that you also did some editing since I reviewed it so those are all my suggestions for now. I'm not sure if your submission will get accepted but now it has a better chance of, for sure. Paul Vaurie (talk) 15:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Dear Paul, thanks a lot, I just implemented your good advice, let me know if any other. What are possible issues that might cause my submission to be declined? DanieleGamba1995 (talk) 10:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, you need to make sure demonyms like "Brazilian" are capitalized, and you might want to create sections. Also use proper date format for Brazil. Take a look at some other Wikipedia articles and try to see what they do. However, the reason I think the article will be declined is because you need to follow WP:NPOV. Words like "important", "major", "great", etc need to be supported by sources. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And even if supported by sources, it needs to have an encyclopedic tone, not a positively-skewed tone towards the person. Paul Vaurie (talk) 16:49, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, you're very right. I think I have fixed this issue by rewriting the article in a formal tone, avoiding any kind of praise and sticking just to objective, verifiable historical facts. Do you think that in this way the Draft can become acceptable? In the next days I'll continue working on the minor issues. DanieleGamba1995 (talk) 17:47, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Now of course, the question of the subject's notability is important. I just gave you tips on the content of the article. I'm not sure about the notability. That's the next reviewer's job to decide. Good luck with your article! Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
 * thanks! DanieleGamba1995 (talk) 09:41, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Articles
Such a shame you decided to move from a numbered/ordered list to a bulleted/alphabetic list for your article creations page, especially the Football Clubs. I used to use that to spot any new creations you had made to include in future articles. Guess I'll just need to monitor diffs for the page now. Keep producing the content! Cheers, Gricehead (talk) 14:05, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Haha! I didn't know about this. Sorry! I just thought that the formatting and everything was taking too much space, so I wanted to reduce the size of the page. I also didn't think the dates of creation was important to me anymore. Hopefully monitoring the page diffs will still allow you to make inclusions in articles!

Your GA nomination of Clément Chantôme
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Clément Chantôme you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Sammi Brie -- Sammi Brie (talk) 18:42, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello. I'll get onto making the changes as soon as possible. Might be a few days. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, @Paul Vaurie. The priority has to be the missing cites for end-of-season stats. Also, the C'Chartres section needs bringing up to date. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 19:14, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, in the review you keep referring to "my" writing, and "my" work. However I didn't write the article. I made some contributions to it but that's it. Almost all of the prose and citations is someone else's. Paul Vaurie (talk) 21:43, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * If anyone had noticed that, @Paul Vaurie, the nomination likely would have merited removal as a drive-by nomination. 3.6% authorship is probably not enough to lead a GAN. Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 22:45, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I mean, just because someone hasn't written most of an article doesn't mean they can't fix all the issues in an article. Paul Vaurie (talk) 22:51, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Of course not. However, WP:GAI states, Nominators must have contributed significantly to the article and be familiar with its subject and cited sources. Reviewers have the discretion to remove any drive-by nominations they come across. (original bolding). Sammi Brie  (she/her • t • c) 23:21, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

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.
