Nice bit o' hardware for the mantelpiece, at any rate. :-)

WP:ARCA request
I think that motion is needed to explicitly allow participation in RFC and move discussions if that what arbs want.--Shrike (talk) 07:05, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Shrike: The Committee directed me to archive the request without formal action, so there is no formal decision here explaining the Committee's stance. Nonetheless, speaking without my clerk hat on, I would assume, given their comments, that the status quo stands and existing procedures and motions mean what they say with no exceptions. I would encourage you (with the clerk hat back on) to file a new ARCA if material changes develop – for example, in an arb's words, if "examples where this has caused actual problems" arise.

New Page Reviewer Newsletter
Backlog update:
- The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
- Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.
Technology update:
- Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
- The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:
- User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js adds a link to the new pages feed and page curation toolbar to your top toolbar on Wikipedia
- User:The Earwig/copyvios.js adds a link in your side toolbox that will run the current page through
General project update:
- Following discussion at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers, Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Noticeboard has been marked as historical. Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers is currently the most active central discussion forum for the New Page Patrol project. To keep up to date on the most recent discussions you can add it to your watchlist or visit it periodically.
