New page reviewer granted
Hi Singularity42. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. -- TNT (talk • she/her) 01:49, 10 March 2022 (UTC)
Draft: Dabon Dambazau.
Hello . I appreciate that you recently moved my article with the name above to draft from main article space, although it was intially proposed for deletion you decided to move it to draft to give me a chance to develop it, and that I did and submitted it for approval but the approval was rejected citing that the article sources are not reliable. So in essence I'm talking to you to ask you to please take a look at it again and advise me appropriately on what next to do. Thanks. Baaballiyo (talk) 22:18, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I know other editors focus on reviewing AFC submissions, whereas my focus is on other areas of Wikipedia. Another editor felt that a lot of the content was not supported by reliable sources (either because there are insufficient sources, or a concern that the sources were not sufficiently reliable). I would review WP:Reliable sources and follow up with the editor who thought the sources were not reliable if you disagree. Singularity42 (talk) 12:58, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
The secret behind /64 IPv6 "rangeblocks"
Hi Singularity42, WP:/64 may be interesting. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:25, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
- That is super helpful! Thanks very much. Singularity42 (talk) 19:46, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
I need your help
In an ANI rport you asked me to revert if needed, but as i am not autoconfirmed what can i do to stop the disruptive edits. No editors are paying heed to stop all these disruptive edits. Please guide me what can i do. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baidy540 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
- Any editor - registered or unregistered, autoconfirmed or not, can revert another editor's edits. Just edit the article and remove the bold addition you are disputing and explain why in the edit summary. There are easier ways to revert a recent addition, but that's the most basic way. The only type of article you can't is if the page is protected at a level that prevents certain types of editors, in which case you request the change on the article's talk page. Remember to not WP:Edit war. Remember to explain why you are making the change in the edit summary. If it is restored back, take it to a talk page discussion to discuss the change.

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Singularity42,
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 733 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.

About copyright
Previously, I edited existing texts on Wikipedia, but you deleted them, referring to the fact that I violate copyright. But since I am a representative of the organization that owns those texts, I have received from them copyright permission to use their texts on Wikipedia. Therefore, I wanted to ask what I need to provide you so that you can restore the texts that were edited? My old nickname is Upravlenieturizma13 Turkupt13 (talk) 17:44, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- You need to read through this page (Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials) and then either clearly make it clear on the webiste that the text is licensed with a Creative Commons license, or follow the instructions at WP:DONATETEXT. Once that it done, if the Wikipeda page was deleted, you can request it to be undeleted at WP:REFUND. Singularity42 (talk) 19:02, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
