You tagged Mellon (saint) with {{db|empty}}. That is entirely a wrong use of CSD. The article has two references, and a perfectly good definition. Charles Matthews 10:32, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi... I happened to see your page and, after looking at your contributions, wanted to give you some suggestions to help you become a better editor. I see that you've been working on newpage patrol, which is a great way to help Wikipedia. However, along the way, some of the things you've done weren't the ideal way to handle the articles you found, so I wanted to point them out to improve how you deal with similar situations in the future:
Finally, a note about your userpage -- you make a big deal out of the fact that you want to become an admin, even including a practice RfA. This probably isn't the best way to approach things for a couple of reasons. First, you've only been here for a couple of weeks, and need a lot more experience before considering nominating yourself (or having someone else nominate you) for adminship. Second, mentioning a desire for adminship on your page often gives the appearance that you're here to gain some sort of power instead of to build an encyclopedia; people may find that offputting when dealing with you, and if someday you do find yourself with an admin nomination, a lot of people will oppose you simply because of that. Make good contributions in many different aspects of the Wikipedia, especially article writing, vandal fighting, and policy discussions, and eventually your work will speak for itself much better than anything else could.
I hope this is helpful to you -- it looks to me like you're genuinely interested in doing good things here, and I'm always anxious to help new users along the path to becoming great editors. If you have any questions about anything I've said here, or anything else, please let me know -- just reply here and I'll be happy to help. Pinball22 17:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
![]() New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Termiy! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

Hi Termiy,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
