Hi Cukie Gherkin. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at

• 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. Steps such as checking for copyright violations using
  general notability guideline
  are mandatory and will take a few minutes per article.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any required steps.
• 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 In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. ~~

You mentioned at the last VG/S discussion that you'd contacted Grayson about their editorial policy. Do you still have that line of communication open? It seems that a number of commenters are withholding support contingent on that editorial policy, which they obviously have, getting published somewhere on the site.

Hello Cukie Gherkin,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Thanks for uploading File:Sprigatito.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair 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) 02:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you, but I'd like you to take a look at these articles (mostly from Voltron). It seems to me like they are definitely not notable, but I wanted to ask someone first.

• Princess Allura
• Keith (Voltron)
• Lance (Voltron)
• Hunk (Voltron)
• Sven (Voltron)
• Pidge (Voltron)
• Prince Lotor
• Emperor Zarkon
• Ultraman Belial
• Ultraman Tregear

I would sooner not get involved in this, but I will say that if I came across Ultraman Belial or Ultraman Tregear, I would either boldly redirect them or open a discussion on

WP:AFD based on the reception section being almost exclusively built on primary sources. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 00:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

WP:AFD. You don't get "permission" from individual editors to mass-redirect articles. Toughpigs (talk) 01:53, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

BLAR, and arguably even commendable. Keep in mind that IP addresses would have to ask someone else to create the AFD page for them anyway, since they can't create pages. QuicoleJR (talk) 21:28, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply

Yes, and that's what they did, for two of those articles. This "asking permission" thing was a developing pattern for this IP. As Cukie Gherkin agreed on the IP's talk page, the appropriate venue for contested BLARs is AfD. Toughpigs (talk) 21:42, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		The Video Game Barnstar
		You deserve ten of these. You have created so many articles on characters who I thought would have gotten them long ago. Little Mac, GLaDOS, Ridley, Isabelle, and more have all resulted from your work. You are one of the best editors the Video Games project has ever had! QuicoleJR (talk) 21:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@QuicoleJR Much obliged! it's always nice to have someone who enjoys my edits. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 21:27, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
