With regard to a message left on my talk page[edit]

Hello @Schierbecker, this is with regard to a comment on my talk page where you had stated that I had edited under multiple accounts ( comment seems to have been deleted now ). I can assure you that any connections that were made or anything like that is completely and 100% false. I have only used this account for all my edits since October 2023 though I had edited under IP addresses previously. However every edit I have made since I created this account was made using only this account of 4-RAZOR 01. I had read the guidelines when I joined and I am proud to say that I will never be someone like a sockpuppetier. thank you and have a good day. RΔ𝚉🌑R-𝕏 (talk) 05:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:4-RAZOR 01. You were not sockpuppeting. Someone else was. I am sorry for making that insinuation, which I deleted within moments of posting. It was getting late and I was getting tired. I made a mistake in notifying you. Schierbecker (talk) 14:11, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It all right, mistakes can happen. But I am glad that it was resolved. THanks and have a good day! RΔ𝚉🌑R-𝕏 (talk) 04:38, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024[edit]

Hello Schierbecker,

New Page Review queue January to March 2024

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
