Hi. I would like to correct a place name but I don't know how. Can you take care of it? It's mentioned on the Canaan page I think. The name of the place is Greenbrier, Saskatchewan but it is spelled Greenbrie.
Greenbrier is where my father was born on the family homestead so I would like it to be correct. I can send you a picture of the Greenbrier sign with the school behind it. This is the only sign I saw when we were looking for the property.
Thanks. Nance Wallace -- Nance Wallace ( talk) 19:04, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi Cassiopeia, greetings from this part of Nigeria, I hope your day is going fine. It's been over a week since you told me you'll review the assignment the next day and I've been waiting since then. Hope all is well? Comr Melody Idoghor (talk) 13:39, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Cassopeai insists on spreading false information under Fiziev page. The fighter confirmed he is of Azeri and Russian ethnicity. As his mother is Russian and his Father Azeri. Cassopeia keeps changing it to Kyrgiz. Arguing that his parents ethnicity does not determine his. Please stop him from spreading false information, thanks 89.205.133.207 ( talk) 07:53, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi mate, just a quick one however I've just seen that Gane vs Tuivasa has been officially announced about 3 hours ago as the headliner for the Paris, France card and was wondering if the UFC Fight Night 210 needs renaming?
Seen as you are one of the best here, I thought it would be best left for you to decide.

Hiya Cassiopeia,
It appears UFC Fight Night 211 will now be UFC 279 according to the article listed below. I know moving all the pages is complicated and I’m not sure how to do it correctly, so bringing it to your attention. Thanks!

HeinzMaster ( talk) 19:54, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Hi Cassiopeia.
I'm right now having a dispute with an IP user on List of Muay Thai practitioners. You have already encountered him on Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. The IP address may change but from tone and geolocate, its pretty obvious its the same user.
Some of the changes to page which he has added MMA fighters, I consider not constructive. List of Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners is now bloated because almost every notable MMA fighter is a BJJ practitioner. Greco-Roman wrestling has MMA fighters who have no recorded experience in it. We already have categories for an extensive list of practitioners. Therefore I think we can trim the practitioner page.
I plan to make a clean up on these pages. But I wanted to ask your opinion on something. When we include MMA fighters under this section, what is an ideal criteria for putting notable ones on the page? For List of Muay Thai practitioners, I believe only Champion fighters that utilize muay thai as their main weapon in MMA and are known for it throughout their entire career should be included. Otherwise we will get a bloated list Category:Mixed martial artists utilizing Muay Thai. Fighters like Fabrício Werdum and Rafael dos Anjos have developed Muay Thai skills but they do not belong on the list in my opinion. Their main weapon will always be BJJ and they didn't even develop proper Muay Thai skills until they moved to Kings MMA which was already half way into their career. How can we claim these are the same as other fighters who have been using it as their main style since the very start of their career?
The same applies to List of Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners where we should include only specialists that use it as their main weapon in MMA. As for Greco-Roman wrestling, I need to look more on the fighters but some like Luke Rockhold definitely do not belong there.
Let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks

Hello Cassiopeia,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000 [a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size. [b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by
buidhe and
Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up
here.
Barnstars will be awarded.
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
There is a new template available, {{
NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 13764 articles, as of 16:00, 15 July 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
