Re:Speedy deletion of Devourment band members
Hey, no problem. A lot of people seem to hate me at the moment, and have decided that vandalising that article is the best way to tell me. I've semi-protected it for a week. J Milburn (talk) 08:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Rollback request granted
For the public record, the request for this alternative to be flagged with rollback has been granted. As a reminder to the account holder, abuse of rollback (that is, usage of the tool outwith the boundaries of vandalism reversion) may result in all of your accounts being deflagged, and certainly this one. Use wisely! AGK (contact) 00:34, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I was just running through Anon ip's and I saw that you warned someone for vandalising my user page. Double yew tea eff I thought, no one has vandalised my user page, this madness, "I would know if someone vandalised my user page" I muttered in disbelief, but alas this is wikipedia!, where vandals vandalise user pages and people like you revert them real fast. As some sort of reward, I award you with an extremely exclusive, cookie. Its yours to keep :P-- Kerotan Leave Me a Message  Have  a nice day :) 02:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Rollback
I just rolledback one of your changes, where you accidently changed "software" to "sofware". I used rollback because I thought you had introduced the mistake to other articles aswell, so a fast tool was the handiest. It seems that's not the case, and using rollback gives the wrong impression here. Sorry for the inconvenience. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 22:57, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to make these links accurate. Don't worry about it too much, though, because making all of them would be a lot of work, and there's a specific guideline that says it's not really necessary to bypass the redirects. You can read about that at WP:REDIRECT.

Re:Your Message
Thank you for the reprimand. I actually vandalized the page becuase my previous vandalism of the Iowa class battleship article wasn't reverted within five minutes. I assumed that by vandalising a more visable article someone would notice the original vandalism and revert that too. Question: why haven't the bots caught this? They usually pick up on blatent vandalism alot faster. Have they gone down? 129.108.96.45 (talk) 02:25, 18 April 2008 (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. 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
 * A HUGE backlog
 * Second set of eyes

New Page Review - Newsletter No.4
Hello ,

Since rolling out the right in November, just 6 months ago, we now have reviewers, but the backlog is still mysteriously growing fast. If every reviewer did just reviews, the  backlog would be gone, in a flash, schwoop, just like that!

But do remember: Rather than speed, quality and depth of patrolling and the use of correct CSD criteria are essential to good reviewing. Do not over-tag. Make use of the message feature to let the creator know about your maintenance tags. See the tutorial again HERE. Get help HERE.

 * Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.

 * The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
 * User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
 * User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through

New Years new page backlog drive
Hello, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Announcing the NPP New Year Backlog Drive!

We have done amazing work so far in December to reduce the New Pages Feed backlog by over 3000 articles! Now is the time to capitalise on our momentum and help eliminate the backlog!

The backlog drive will begin on January 1st and run until January 29th. Prize tiers and other info can be found HERE.

Awards will be given in tiers in two categories:


 * The total number of reviews completed for the month.
 * The minimum weekly total maintained for all four weeks of the backlog drive.

NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

 * I'm not sure how you expect me to 'retract the "warning"' as you have already removed it with a hostile edit summary. If the mistake isn't going to be repeated then there's nothing to worry about. If you already knew it was a mistake and have apologised then that's even better. Unfortunately you did add libel to a page on a living person, and I had to remove it, so that's what the warning was for. Never mind. I'm sure you'll be more careful in the future. --John (talk) 06:16, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

New Page Review Newsletter No.10
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages! ACTRIAL:
 * ACTRIAL's six month experiment restricting new page creation to (auto)confirmed users ended on 14 March. As expected, a greatly increased number of unsuitable articles and candidates for deletion are showing up in the feed again, and the backlog has since increased already by ~30%. Please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day.

Paid editing
 * Now that ACTRIAL is inoperative pending discussion, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies. A further discussion is currently taking  place at: Can a subject specific guideline invalidate the General Notability Guideline?

Nominate competent users for Autopatrolled
 * While patrolling articles, if you find an editor that is particularly competent at creating quality new articles, and that user has created more than 25 articles (rather than stubs), consider nominating them for the 'Autopatrolled' user right HERE.

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
Hello, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

ACTRIAL:
 * WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

Deletion tags
 * Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.

Backlog drive:
 * A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.

Editathons
 * There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

Paid editing - new policy
 * Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

Subject-specific notability guidelines
 * The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
 * Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.

 * A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
 * Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
 * The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

Not sure why the question was deleted from the help desk; newish editors often post like that. Their request showed up on my watchlist and I just clicked on their contribs. directly from there to find the page and save time. I then saw your 'ping' from the other TP but when I got there, that had been deleted too! Cheers. Eagleash (talk) 20:06, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for digging up this link. This dispute has highlighted (as people at WP:AWNB are noting) that a lot of these articles could really do with stronger referencing - it'd be great if you could add that and anything else you dig up where appropriate. It's never been an area I've edited in, but after this I might have to dedicate a bit of time myself when I get the chance. The Drover&#39;s Wife (talk) 01:59, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
