New pages patrol January 2025 Backlog drive

January 2025 Backlog Drive \| New pages patrol
On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points. Streak awards will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive. Barnstars will also be granted for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in taking part? Sign up here.
You're receiving this message because you are a new page patroller. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Orphaned non-free image File:Lancashire Police & Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Lancashire Police & Crime Commissioner, Clive Grunshaw.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 04:00, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Police commissioner logo changes per commissioner, so this has been superseded. PamD 08:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Major conflict of interest

I want to bring to your attention a few pages where I believe there is a major conflict of interest or paid editing. These include the pages for Dipali Goenka, Manish Kejriwal, and B. K. Goenka (deleted multiple times). All three pages are of poor quality, and it’s worth noting that the first two were moved into the namespace by the same user ID. The last page was similarly moved into the namespace, possibly by a related ID, and the subject is Dipali Goenka's husband. What should we do about it?
