Too speedy?
Hi Meiloorun, thanks for the work you do at new pages patrol. I was thinking that we should give editors a bit more time to fix their drafts and find sources, even if it's only half an hour. With 22 Savage, it was created at 00:36, 12 January and tagged during the same minute, which was on the fast side! Best, SarahSV (talk) 02:40, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I admit that I might be very fast at patrolling articles (as I spam that refresh button), but I believe the 22 Savage article didn't meet WP:bio, because a google search showed that news about 22 Savage was mainly trivial, mostly just comparing him as a doppelganger to 21 Savage. However I understand that speedy patrolling can cause problems (it has for me once), and I will be sure to slow down in the future. Cheers, Meiloorun   (talk) 🍁 03:29, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

New Page Patrol
Hi there,

Just letting you know I've removed the A7 tag from INSTITUTE_OF_COMPANY_SECRETARIES_OF_INDIA as it is prima facie an educational institution (see, e.g., the top level domain in the URL), which is not eligible for A7. Also, the page was tagged only 3 minutes after creation. Consider waiting about 10 minutes unless it's very obviously promotional, otherwise it is bitey. Cheers, Matthew Thompson talk to me! 05:02, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I know about how educational institutions are exempt from A7 and didn't know that this was an educational institution. However, I'm just wondering now why it was still deleted? Meiloorun   (talk) 🍁 05:11, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Narrowrooms
Hello Meiloorun. Just to let you know I declined the speedy you put up for [WP:A3|CSD A3]] on Narrowrooms. There is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, and we should wait at least 10-15 minutes. That being said, Narrowrooms didn't fit CSD A3, but much better fit CSD G2 which is for test pages. It's really not that big of a deal, it is just nice to put the correct notice on the new user's talk pages, so they know what they did wrong, and how to fix it in the future, so that we don't bite the newbies. Thanks, happy editing, and keep up the good work.  { MordeKyle }  &#9762; 02:07, 1 February 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. 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
 * Abuse
 * 1) this very recent case of paid advertising by a Reviewer resulting  in  a community ban.
 * 2) this case in January of paid advertising by a Reviewer, also resulting in  a community ban.

The Texas Toe
Hi Meiloorun. As a long time Wikipedia contributor and reader, I appreciated what you do, there would be no Wikipedia without people like you. I do contest your deletion of my article on the Texas Toe however. I live in Northern Vermont and I know we don't rank much to the rest of the US. However in the post analysis of the NFC championship, a local sports ancher discussed the maneuver of the Texas Toe on air (live). I found the description so compelling that I have kept it in my back pocket. IT has proved critical during this superbowl and so I thought it deserved a wiki page as something people are talking about, I can't go downtown without the Texas Toe being mentioned (I'm sure it will be worse now that the Super Bowl has demonstrated the value of the maneuver). I am an old man and I am sorry if I did not write my article to WIKI standards, please help me make it correct according to the standards, I only want to help world knowledge, and I am thrilled to contribute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaBjork (talk • contribs) 02:36, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. If this maneuver actually exists, and talk about it is growing, we'll have to wait for a bit until it is covered by some reliable news sources. Right now a Google search for it turns up absolutely nothing, so we'll have to give it some time. If you have any other questions, please ask them here!  Meiloorun   (talk) 🍁 04:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

I don't really have any other questions per se but I will say the texas toe is the talk of the town in Stowe tonight! is it acceptable to expunge knowledge because we don't have a website? I'm sorry that we don't meet your standard of credibility, but I thought that since no one is claiming otherwise our small town wisdom would be at least accepted if not embraced. I'm sorry that our contribution to human culture rings false to you, i really am. Let me know if I can be of further service.

I would further point out that Google is not the arbiter of what is important to humans. Zero google returns does not mean zero value #goNewEngland #weAreStillHere #ruralUSA — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaBjork (talk • contribs) 04:42, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Are people who look up the Texas Toe disappointed? yes if they know what it means. That is unfair.
 * Please keep this in mind. According to the general notability guidelines,

"Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article." Therefore if there is no proof of it, it cannot be on Wikipedia. This is why we need to give this time, or for the time being it is considered a hoax.

Article tagged for speedy deletion - what could be improved
Hi, Meiloorun, thank you for checking quality of so many Wikipedia articles. Cardinity article was marked for speedy deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia. I have created the article based on structure and types of information provided in already approved articles of similar comapanies. Could you provide criteria on which importance of the subject could be measured? Having that I could possibly correct existing article or at least do not create low value articles in future. Indresi (talk) 00:06, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * The notability criteria for companies is listed here. Your article has no independent third party, and relies on information from the company's website, and therefore doesn't prove its notability. If you would like, it is possible for me to move your article to Articles for Creation, where you can work on it and submit it to experienced Wikipedians for review.

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.

Contested deletion
Speedy deletion nomination of VASOUNDLLC==

Hello How are you? This topic is covering a minority entity of Music & Fashion;the name (VA Sound) implies Visual Arts & Production; It does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is relevant too the topic:Arts,Entertainment & Media Production. Any published articles around(VASOUNDLLC)are not intended to misinform the public; and are here instead too present facts regarding this newly formed Production company. If there is any inquiries surrounding my appeal please; reach me here 1st(I will happily answer any questions) Thank you for reading.Artboy93Artboy93 (talk) 07:35, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The deletion was never about any misinformation, it was that this company did not meet wikipedia's Notability standards for companies. It has no third party sources (news articles or other publications) to verify its information that makes it worthy for inclusion. Meiloorun   (talk) 🍁 17:18, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Draft:Simon Viklund
Hi there,

I saw your question about this draft on IRC, but didn't reply until, I think, you had disconnected. There's not a clear guideline for what to do in such a scenario, but I think it may be a good use of "history merge" which allows the record of contributions of two pages to be combined. It's sort of complicated, and to be honest I'm not sure if it's applicable, but if you see some odd edits happen to the draft in the next day or two, that's why. :) &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 01:26, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmmm well not exactly what I intended, but it looks like the pages were simply switched. Sort of. The newer version was moved to Simon Viklund (version 2) as, I imagine, a temporary solution? &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 13:18, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , Um I guess it works then? No sign of the newer/stub version though. Meiloorun   (talk) 🍁 23:26, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
 * It was moved to Simon Viklund (version 2). I'm not sure to what extent this was a standard procedure, but it doesn't make much sense to me to have it at such a location, even temporarily. I've moved it to Draft:Simon Viklund (it's a redirect, but the article is there in the history), which sort of completes the swap. Pinging, too, to let him/her know. Sorry for the confusion. This wasn't what I had in mind when I requested a history merge (in an ideal world, the history would have everybody's edits), but it does make sense to have the older and longer version be the main article and to merge the other into it. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 05:58, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

 * The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
 * Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!
 * The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: 
 * On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
 * Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.

Simon Viklund Draft Conflict
Hi, I accidentally created the page called Simon Viklund before your draft got approved! My apologies for not checking, I wasn't active for many years and didn't realize Drafts were a thing now. I will check for drafts before making new articles from now on. I think you should just withdraw your draft from review and try to merge it with the one I made. Yours is obviously more complete but mine might have some information you didn't include.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 12:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

Please only capitalize proper noun "principal" isn't one. Also, please avoid using "Mr.", "Dr.", "professor" per wp:credential and wp:honorific Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 07:33, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * , I didn't write those names, they were written by another user when the page was created. I should've caught those when I was fixing up the page. Thanks for the notice! Meiloorun   (talk) 🍁 18:04, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
 * My apology. The diff showed "principal" highlighted, so I thought you had added it. I did miss a space, so we're even! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:44, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Thanks for reviewing The Hermes Standard, Meiloorun.

Unfortunately TonyBallioni has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

"Not G12 eligible, copyright violating content removed and revision deleted. Article needs assessment as to whether it meets our other inclusion criteria."

To reply, leave a comment on TonyBallioni's talk page.

New Year New Page Review Drive
 * A backlog drive is planned for the start of the year, beginning on January 1st and running until the end of the month. Unique prizes will be given in tiers for both the total number of reviews made, as well as the longest 'streak' maintained.

 * ACTRIAL has resulted in a significant increase in the quality of new submissions, with noticeably fewer CSD, PROD, and BLPPROD candidates in the new page feed. However, the majority of the backlog still dates back to before ACTRIAL started, so consider reviewing articles from the middle or back of the backlog.
 * The NPP Browser can help you quickly find articles with topics that you prefer to review from within the backlog.

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.
