Hey Cassiopeia, how are your injuries again? I hope it at least doesn't hurt as bad as it used to. Well, just wanted to know if you anything about this guy/girl "KhanzotChinev"? Why does s/he try to troll and act like a high-ranked user when s/he has got less than 100 edits? I saw that s/he wrote a "Welcome" message on your page, then told you to count to 5 if you were mad and that you weren't qualified to be on English Wikipedia due to the language not being your first (I think you're American, lol). Now s/he has been pretty annoying while editing Khamzat Chimaev and he just deletes everything on his/her talk page, sooo... what's the deal with him/her? PabloLikesToWrestle ( talk) 15:53, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Cassiopeia, sorry to be bothering you with this. I was wondering whether you've had the chance to mark my final exam for the NPPS. I know it's a lot to mark, but I'd just be grateful for an update. Best, Modussiccandi ( talk) 10:28, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I’m fairly new to Wikipedia (or at least I think I am anyway. I was looking through the methods of how to get actual Counter-Vandalism training under my belt, and read about how certain users were designated “trainers” who could teach newer users like myself about CV and the ins and outs of how to effectively perform it. I saw in the CVU trainer section that you had two spots available for trainees. If those spots are still available, I would love to be able to learn from you and eventually use those skills to help the Wikipedia community in a more productive way. I have a little experience in combating vandalism, but no formal training or instruction from any experienced CVU personnel. Please let me know if you have a spot open and are able to teach a new student a thing or two. Thank you, and I hope to hear back from you!

Hello! Apparently some people take issue with me being a CVUA instructor, so I decided to eliminate the prospect. Would you consider taking HurricaneTracker495 under your wings? Heart (talk) 05:30, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Cassiopeia, I have a question that's been puzzling me for a while: when describing an MMA bout in a fighter's article, is it allowed to mention knockdowns in it? Regarding the recent Robert Whittaker vs. Jared Cannonier bout I described that despite knocking Cannonier down, Whittaker won the bout via unanimous. It was reverted with message "doesn't follow" (follow what?), but I cannot find anything regarding describing bouts verbosely at least from here Articles about mixed martial artists. In boxer articles the bouts are very verbosely described, and in my humble opinion the knockdowns play pretty significant role in MMA also. Ticelon ( talk) 16:17, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello Cassiopeia, I wanted to thank you for your efforts on helping me out, despite me not being a white sheep on the discussion. That is in the past now and if taken the right approach it will only help me for the future. I already apologized to KhanzotChinev and asked him if he wants to civilly discuss the content at Khamzat Chimaev or if he will just leave it there. I intend to discuss from a neutral point of view as an editor, rather than as a guy who lets people on the internet get under his skin. Once again, thanks.

It is my opinion that their continued participation in CVUA needs to be reconsidered. On their talk page, multiple editors have expressed concerns that (to be brief) they are diving too deep, too early, into the administrative areas of the project, in particular overly bitey behavior towards a new user. This was a recent example of them giving wrong advice (CheckUser cannot by itself be used to determine if two users are two people who know each other). This doesn't give me confidence that they are ready to go into counter-vandalism just yet, and thus my advice was for them to stay out of counter-vandalism or other patrolling and stick to just content creation, but since my message they have continued patrolling.-- Jasper Deng (talk) 02:44, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Hiya. Just a note that I've offered to mentor HurricaneTracker495. I'm hoping to help them work more positively with other editors, and to focus on the areas that they are strongest in and most interested in. I'm hoping to mainly be a friendly face that they can ask questions to, and don't intend for it to conflict with your CVUA work - but let me know if you have any concerns or want to talk through. Best, Darren-M talk 23:06, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
I'm a professional actress in the film Under The Stadium Lights. I am one of the main actors in this film. It didn't list me in the article when I found it, so I edited it. But when I did, it linked to the wrong person, an Irish poet named Bridget Fitzgerald. Can you please help me figure out how to fix? Thanks and best wishes!

Hello Cassiopeia,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

10 | Utopes ( talk) | 3,958 | Patrol Page Curation |
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Hello again! I'm not quite sure if you remember me, but a little over a week ago, I asked if I could receive instruction from you to become part of the CVU. You asked me to complete the TWA program, and then contact you again. I have completed the TWA program, and, if a spot is still open and you're still willing, I'd love to be taught about counter vandalism from you. Thanks, and I hope to hear back from you soon!

Hello! I'd like to join the Counter-Vandalism Unit Academy, and I noticed that you were one of the available trainers from the list. I've been doing some recent changes patrolling for vandals myself, but I feel that I'm too rash at making decisions and that I may lack enough guidance. I live in UTC +07:00 so I don't think that time zones would be an issue. Looking forward to your reply, thanks! Fehufanga ( talk) 23:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
Hello Cassiopeia, I wish to join the Counter vandalism Academy to fight vandalism. I'd requested rollback rights about two weeks ago, but was unfortunately denied.
