Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.
Thank you!

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
[edit]Hello Paper Luigi,
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:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Message from Belko05
[edit]I would like to thank you for actually looking at the source I put for the article, "Christine Cavanaugh", I just wanted to make sure you guys were actually looking inside the source. It was a test and I was just trying to make sure you guys weren't just looking at the title and making assumptions. I wasn't trying to rush my sources and mess up the article. Belko05 (talk) 14:16, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- No harm, no foul, Belko05. I've seen some variant of cancer added and removed over the years, hence the hidden comment. It's excusable this time, though I would advise you not to repeat your test in case you get different results next time. I'd also like to welcome you to the site! Is there a particular subject that sparks your interest here? — Paper Luigi T • C 04:39, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- No not really. Just random. Belko05 (talk) 18:46, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
I notice you added List of sundown towns in the United States to hundreds of US city articles. Unfortunately, many of the articles you added this list to make absolutely no mention of being a sundown town in the text of the article. I have tried to remove your error from some of these articles, but as I said, you added it to hundreds of them. Could you please review your mass edit and remove the erroneous placement of this list? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 19:11, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- That is indeed my error, and I will fix it. Thank you for going through the articles that make no mention of sundown towns. I added every location in Category:Sundown towns in the United States by state and its subcategories, which was naive in hindsight as it's apparent the category was bloated. I appreciate that you removed the category links from those articles as well. I'll start going through the remaining ones right away. — Paper Luigi T • C 02:24, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- I reviewed all the locations on the list and removed categories and most see also links for articles with no specific mention of the sundown town practice. All locations not categorized as sundown towns on WP have been removed from the list article. For towns with historically racist attitudes lacking the sundown town characterization, I have removed the category from the town's article but kept the see also link. — Paper Luigi T • C 04:48, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

BLP - Carl Thoma
[edit]Hi Paper Luigi, I drafted an article for Carl Thoma, an art collector and businessman originally from the Oklahoma panhandle, whose Thoma Scholars Program offers scholarships to students from the Oklahoma panhandle, the Texas panhandle, and eastern New Mexico. I noticed that you worked on the Oklahoma panhandle article, and thought that my article might interest you, as well. Additionally, as you are a new page reviewer. I would appreciate your expertise in reviewing my article - if you agree that it's ready for main space, would you mind moving it? Thank you very much. JBarTB (talk) 14:05, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
