Information icon Hello Uw-hasty. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context ( CSD A1) and/or content ( CSD A3) moments after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages ( G10), patent nonsense ( G1), copyright violations ( G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes ( G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.
