Hi JBchrch. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. signed, Rosguill talk 16:36, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Discussion about NFT page
Hey JBchrch, thank you for checking my edit to the https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Non-fungible_token page! I'm referring to your "removed promo sourced to dubious and presumably non-independent coverage" edit. You state that the sentence was a promo and I would like to offer a different opinion. In my opinion the sentence regarding YourTicketProvider is a perfect example of recent adoption of the NFT ticketing usecase and would therefore fit the subject. How do you see this? You're also stating that the coverage might be non-independent, perhaps a better source would remove doubts? Love to hear your thoughts, thanks! Jeronemoo (talk) 20:59, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Jeronemoo and thanks for reaching out. In my view, the sources I removed were all repeating marketing material and corporate language provided by YourTicketProvider, without offering any independent journalistic coverage (like the NY Times or the Financial Times would in such instance). They all read like press releases. In this field, news outlets do not have very high moral or ethical standards, and will often just reprint whatever the companies say about themselves, in order to churn out content. I think we should avoid it when we see it. See also WP:SIRS for an exploration of this subject in the context of notability. Obviously, if you can obtain consensus on the article's talk page to keep this passage I won't interfere. Cheers. JBchrch talk 21:17, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Hey JBchrch, thanks for your answer! I've read your response, I agree partly to your statement. I've posted my complete thoughts here, in an effort to obtain that consensus you were talking about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Non-fungible_token#Request_to_add_recent_adoption_example_to_Ticketing_subject. Do you know how this process usually goes? Do I just wait for other people to react to this, or is there something else I must do? Jeronemoo (talk) 09:29, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Jeronemoo: Talk page discussions are an informal and pretty open-ended process: generally, we just wait for people to comment on the proposal to get a rough sense of the consensus. There are way of escalating disputes to more formal processes: see WP:DR. The most common way to escalate a dispute if you are not satisfied with the outcome of an informal talk page discussion or wish to get the input of the broader community is through the Request for Comment process. Let me know if you have any questions! JBchrch talk 16:03, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021

Hello JBchrch,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Redirect articles removed
--Haseebmirza306 (talk) 02:54, 25 September 2021 (UTC)Haseeb I think my articles are fine. Please do not redirect your article Mirza Abad, Chakri, Chakri, Jhelum, Ajmair Sharif, Jhelum . The references are the same. You can see them on Google Maps. Pakistan is a developing country. In which many things are not spot online.
- @Haseebmirza306: You articles are not fine. You keep on re-adding unsourced and poorly content, and have received many warnings about your behavior, which may turn into a block at some point. Please consult WP:RS and WP:NGEO to understand how you should go about sourcing your articles about places in Pakistan. JBchrch talk 19:42, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Don't redirect this article
--Sagheermirza (talk) 06:27, 27 September 2021 (UTC)Sagheer Sir previously this article was not redirected. You have now redirected it. Most of the places in this area have falling rains or google map references. The names of many places mentioned by the government are not on the official website. I can show you my ID card which has Chakri written on it.
