I was curious, because I just added one to it. An interesting(!) selection 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:14, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
, Timtrent, I was a little scared when you mentioned that what I go through is a documented medical condition, I went to see a specialist and indeed confirmed that I had Synasthesia, I asked if it was curable and they pretty much said no, because it is imbedded in my genetic make up. I’d be lying if I said this didn’t bother but I guess it’s all for the best. It can be scary, to be honest this condition is probably the reason I can easily detect undeclared paid editing as you rightfully said, how it works as I stated earlier is my brain interprets written words as they are spoken/vocalized. In the same manner the 7.9 billion people have their own distinctive handwriting, it works in a similar manner In my head, you see, to me, every Wikipedian has or possess a distinctive manner of writing which my brain interprets as sounds, thus I easily can tell when an editor is socking or engaging in meat puppetry. Oh well, I choose to believe it a blessing rather than something to be scared about, using, on a more jovial note, using my mutant abilities I have succeeded in locating the sock master of that editor (who is evading a ban actually) and I have filed the report promised, See here.

I noticed you extended occultist activity from May to August and I was wondering if I could help you out. Just write the names of the people you’re intending to write about and I’ll do the creating. They might be largely stubs, but I believe it will motivate you to improve them whenever you deem fit..

Hi! Always good to see you wander across my watch list. Re: this edit, should I also change the capitalization on Executive Director? I'm not disagreeing with your edit at all, I'm just not sure since they're both titles and it seems they should be treated the same? Thanks! Star Mississippi 02:52, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
After I noticed two strange accounts editing Nigeria related articles, I suspected one to be a sock of the other(master sock) hence I dug deep into the history of the suspected master account and I noticed they were editing in the topic areas UPE editors frequent thus I filed a report and not only were they mere socks, but both accounts belonged to the banned serial abuser named Buysomebananas, see this. Note that Praxidicae was one who did all the heavy lifting and was very much integral in taking down this socks, without her input, not much would have been accomplished.

How do you make the box where you insert the userboxes on your userpage? Dinosaur TrexXX33 (chat?) 13:08, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Hello Celestina007/Archives/2022,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 817 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 854 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing ((subst:NPR invite))
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
