Need access
Hi, MLG - can you help me with access to this article? Title: Beloved Companion or Problem Animal: The Shifting Meaning of Pit Bull, published in: Society & Animals, authors: Maria A. Iliopoulou1, Carla L. Carleton2, and Laura A. Reese – Online Publication Date: 13 Jun 2019. I tried through TWL but all I can access is the Abstract. (Please ping me when you respond) Atsme 💬 📧 21:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
- Atsme I am so sorry I missed this! I apologize! Do you still need access? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:04, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, please - for some reason, I've lost my access to some publications via TWL. Not sure how that happened. It has really put me in a bind. Atsme 💬 📧 22:11, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
- I found it Atsme! I can send it your way. I have two of your emails saved... one is outlook and one is gmail. Are those still good? Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Megalibrarygirl,
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 736 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 1034 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.

Draft:Tiff's Treats
Hi. I saw that you are a member of the WP project Texas with an interest in Austin and women's issues. I was hoping you might be able to take a look at the article I drafted for Tiff's Treats (which is owned by a woman) and offer any feedback. Or, if it looks ok, please approve for mainspace. Thanks in advance.Variety312 (talk) 21:42, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
