New Page Reviewer Flag
Hi, Thsmi002. I've noticed that you are an AfC reviewer but don't yet have the New Page Reviewer flag. Would you please consider heading over to PERM and requesting it? (check the flag requirements HERE)

As part of a larger plan to increase cooperation between New Page Patrol and Articles for creation, we are trying to get as many of the active AfC reviewers as possible under the NPR user flag (per this discussion). Unlike the AfC request list, the NPR flag carries no obligation to review new articles, so I'm not asking you to help out at New Page Patrol if you don't want to, just to request the flag. Of course, if it is something you would be interested in, you can have a look at the NPP tutorial. Please mention that you are an active AfC reviewer in your application. Cheers and thanks for helping out at AfC, —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  06:45, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hello Thsmi002. Your account has been added to the " " user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk. The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:01, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.
 * Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
 * You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
 * Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
 * Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

Thank you for reviewing the article. Can you please give me some suggestions on how I can fix it so it will be allowed?

Jazzilisterwiki (talk) 20:19, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm asking for assistance because I'm not sure what to do to make the changes necessary for the article to be allowed? This is the first time I've done this, so I obviously didn't understand everything. I'm thinking I should I just hire a company or someone who knows what they're doing. Can you make any recommendations?Jazzilisterwiki (talk) 20:44, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

Jasmine needs a wikipedia page, but this is the first time I've attempted to do this (I'm Jasmine's mom). Anyway, what is the best way to go about having someone create it who know's what they are doing, or just editing the draft I already created? Jazzilisterwiki (talk) 21:10, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , you don't have to create a new section every time you post. Just click the [edit] link next to the section header. Also, make sure to sign your posts with ~~~~. Primefac (talk) 21:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , it looks like the draft is improving. Thanks for your contributions. Sports is not my area of expertise. I recommend you visit Teahouse. They can better help answer your questions. Cheers! Thsmi002 (talk) 01:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Draft:Ella Sheppard
I've made several changes. Can you help me with it before I resubmit? Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:51, 15 April 2018 (UTC)
 * , it looks like the draft is improving. Thanks for your contributions! Please be careful not to directly copy Non-free content. The draft can be improved by rewriting the information in your own words using an encyclopedic tone. Be sure to include citations. The Teahouse is a great place to get advice on how to improve this and other articles! Best, Thsmi002 (talk) 02:03, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm trying. Just added the bit about the Ella Sheppard School of Music in Chicago. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:11, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Please let me know if anything else needs to be removed. Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:34, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Again, Huon has a problem with the article. I don't know if his issue is that she is a woman or an African-American. He accepted articles about men with no problem. Maybe he thinks women don't belong in encyclopedias. Is there any way I can bypass him? Nina07011960 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:54, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
