Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!
 | I am not an admin. Please do not ask me to delete, restore or protect pages as I cannot do so. This also means that if you are here because you think I deleted an article you created, you are mistaken--I just tagged it for deletion. Instead, check the deletion log to find out who the deleting admin was and contact them. You are free to ask me why I tagged it, though. On an unrelated note, if you want to put a template on this page, read WP:DTTR before doing so. |
New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021
Hello IntoThinAir,
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)

Request for Adoption
Hi IntoThinAir. I have joined wikipedia last November and found it of great interest. I have edited many existing articles and also drafted articles from my side. I thought it would be helpful for me to ask for adoption to be guided in Wikipedia path to make valuable contribution in future with authors with great experience. I found you have decent experience from adopt a user page to take guidance from and learn. Looking forward to learn from you. Thanks. Gardenkur (talk) 13:13, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
CVU Training
Hello IntoThinAir. I would like to be trained in the CVU by someone, and you seem like a good fit. I haven't been very active on wikipedia but I think I could help with this organization. It's okay if you aren't available. Thanks, Gargantuan Brain (talk) 23:16, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
