Hello Class455. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various
deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at
page reviewer talk.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. -- Samtar talk · contribs 12:39, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

We now have 814 New Page Reviewers!
Most of us requested the user right at
PERM, expressing a wish to be able to do something about the huge backlog, but the chart on the right does not demonstrate any changes to the pre-user-right levels of October.
The backlog is still steadily growing at a rate of 150 a day or 4,650 a month. Only 20 reviews a day by each reviewer over the next few days would bring the backlog down to a managable level and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
It didn't work in time to relax for the Xmas/New Year holidays. Let's see if we can achieve our goal before Easter, otherwise by Thanksgiving it will be closer to 70,000.
Remember that we are the only guardians of quality of new articles, we alone have to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged by non-Reviewer patrollers and that new authors are not being bitten.
This is even more important and extra vigilance is required considering Orangemoody, and
Kudpung is stepping down after 6 years as unofficial coordinator of New Page Patrolling/Reviewing. There is enough work for two people and two coords are now required. Nominations are now open. Details are at NPR Coordinators; nominate someone or nominate yourself.

Hello, I'm Miunouta. Thank you for your message. You recently reverted my contribution to Mike Dean (referee), citing it was "unconstructive", which I believe is subjective. By simply stating that Arsenal supporters started a petition, it does not reflect the popularity and the significance of the petition as it reached 100,000 signatures within a week. If you would like to explain why you don't think it was a constructive contribution, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. -- Miunouta ( talk) 17:40, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Miunouta. Thank you for your message. You recently reverted my contribution to Mike Dean (referee), citing it was "unconstructive", which I believe is subjective. By simply stating that Arsenal supporters started a petition, it does not reflect the popularity and the significance of the petition as it reached 100,000 signatures within a week. If you would like to explain why you don't think it was a constructive contribution, you can leave a message on my talk page. Thanks. -- Miunouta ( talk) 17:40, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
