Your GA nomination of Ayrton SennaThe article Ayrton Senna you nominated as a good article has failed reporting names with no editsPlease don't report usernames that don't have any edits. It's a waste of everyone's time. We only block usernames when they have edited. There are many many usernames that are made that never do anything. Secretlondon (talk) 17:28, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
Im curious why you continue to allow extremely biased and false information to abound on the Jared Lakey page; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jared_Lakey There is a ton of false AND misleading information written on that page and there is also content that keeps getting deleted that is true and contributory. of course-thats why people use wiki as a line in a joke.... 170.10.32.52 (talk) 02:06, 27 May 2023 (UTC) Tagging pages for speedy deletionHello, Patient Zero, If you tag a page for CSD G5 speedy deletion, please put the name of the sockpuppet master in the field provided in the Twinkle screen. It helps the admin reviewing the page to see whether deletion is appropriate when they know who the sockpuppet master is in case they want to examine a SPI case. Thank you. Liz Read!

Thank you for improving articles in May. - I had a good story on coronation day: the Te Deum we sang that day.

Gun laws in Poland articleHi, would you allow at least a few minutes for anyone to complete a sequence of edits? Yeah, it is true the new paragraph in the edited section did not have a reference - for a whole 8 minutes! References are in a separate section and it is often more convenient to edit section-by-section instead of scrolling through the whole wikitext. It takes a little time to copy all the gory details from the legislative source and get the title translation about right. I've put the change back.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023Hello Patient Zero, ![]() Backlog Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day. Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here. WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers. Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script. You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest. Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

New pages patrol newsletterHello Patient Zero, ![]() Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews! October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here. PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon. Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD. Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge. Reminders:

I saw your edit summary for your reversion of my deletion of your speedy tag on Kkpkopor’s user space sandbox page. As a courtesy, I encourage you to engage with this editor on their talk page before deleting all their sandbox pages. I’m uncomfortable with all these deletions.

10 years!Tomorrow marks 10 years since I started editing Wikipedia! I guess it was a bit of a “false start”, given that I did not make many edits at all in 2014. But it is where my journey began, and the rest, as they say, is history. Thank you to all who have made, and continue to make, my experience on Wikipedia a positive one. Here’s to the next 10 years! :-) Patient Zerotalk 18:41, 6 January 2024 (UTC) WP:RFCNAn IP has started a discussion on your username at WP:RFCN, but they failed to notify you.

Puzzling Edit SummaryYour revert summary here doesn't make sense to me, as the IP only delinked a red link (which is a lesser complaint I've had of their editing, among more major things things), but "not providing a reliable source" seems an odd reason to give for reverting a delinking. If your summary was a misclick on your part (I've made misclicks on summary myself), or was something automated with your edits (per HUGGLE), no worries. If you were thinking that the sentence was added by this IP, it was not (was added March 24, 2022). The sentence is still in the article, and if lack of source is the complaint, (this could work to source it. No criticism, just baffled, hope you have a great weekend.
