Hey there. Congrats on being on the backlog drive leaderboard already. Off to a great start! If you want to hang out with other NPPs, consider joining us on the NPP Discord.

On12 October 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Natalie Portman, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Natalie Portman was a co-author on a scientific paper about frontal lobe activation? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Natalie Portman. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Natalie Portman), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Elcho Castle you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Djmaschek -- Djmaschek (talk) 21:41, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
The article Elcho Castle you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Elcho Castle for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Djmaschek -- Djmaschek (talk) 23:20, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Kj cheetham,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
The article Elcho Castle you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Elcho Castle for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Djmaschek -- Djmaschek (talk) 02:41, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
A few days ago, new page patrollers got the backlog to zero. Due to the unprecedented success of the backlog drive, it will be ending early—at the end of 24 October, or in approximately two hours.
Barnstars will be awarded as soon as the coords can tally the results. Streak awards will be allocated based on the first three weeks of the drive, with the last three days being counted as part of week three.

Good morning! I few weeks back, you (kindly) pointed out that I would benefit from reading the definition of "Minor edit" more closely (done). You also mentioned in passing that I could bounce "any issues" off of you (hope I'm not misreading this). May I ask you to have a quick look at an article I've been working on? This is my first attempt at a ground-up contribution, so I'd really like to get it right. The draft is here:
Draft:Livio Castiglioni - Wikipedia
Apart from any general advice/guidance on the overall piece (tone, syntax, referencing, layout, etc.) you'd be willing to share, I'm wondering what the next step is— should I publish "as is", submit for review, or is there some other path one should follow? (Also, unsure how to add relevant Categories and WikiProjects while working in the Draft space.) Many thanks, ~~~~ Cl3phact0 (talk) 11:07, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for everything you do. Can I just ask you to not touch the assessments on any talk pages with the WP Scotland banner for a few days?

But I didn't receive a response from anyone. So, how can I add the image and the references to the article. Please suggest to me🙏🙏

Hello!
I wanted to ask you a quick question about the close paraphrasing tag that was placed on Andres De Los Reyes. I looked over the page this morning and I cannot find any close paraphrasing between the page and the external source listed in the tag. I went through the version history and saw that several revisions to the page had been made since the tag was placed. If you have the time, could you look over the page and assess whether the template message about close paraphrasing still applies? If the message is still relevant, please let me know what I can do to further remedy the issue.

Hello Kj cheetham,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.
Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)
New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js
toUser:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js
Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
Hi, in 2021 I created an article about a scientist Wojciech Karlowski and you kindly helped me to publish it. Now, I noticed that there is a tag on the article informing about my possible connection to the subject. Unfortunately, I was not aware that this may be a problem. I'm related to the subject but the article is based on pure and well documented facts. There is no personal opinion or anything subjective in the article. Could you please advise how should I proceed now? Should I delete the article or is there any way to remove the tag? I just don't want to leave it like this. Thank you a lot and best regards. -- Msciszewianka (talk) 13:39, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello Kj cheetham, I hope you are well. May I ask your advice on a matter of decorum? I recently made some fairly significant changes to a previously rejected draft article about Yinka Ilori MBE. (He was on my list of people to write about, and I'm not entirely certain how I initially stumbled across the rejected draft, though I've now figured out that piece of the puzzle.) My question is: Is it okay to edit someone else's drafts (in Draft namespace) if they have not yet been submitted? (I've found another draft of an article about someone who I had also though of writing about, but this one hasn't yet been submitted — so I didn't want to inadvertently step on anyone's toes.) Thanks for you help (once more). Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 07:43, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey! I had to say something regarding both the articles list of songs recorded by Zubeen Garg and Zubeen Garg discography. The discography article was created a year ago but the songs recorded article was created years back so i think that giving a notability question mark on "list of songs recorded by Zubeen Garg" doesn't seem to be accurate rather it should be on the discovery article as the article is very unorganised and poorly sourced.
Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Discographymen (talk • contribs) 14:42, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for your response! I think the article "list of songs recorded by Zubeen Garg" is necessary as it contains 1000+ songs and it would make the main article "Zubeen Garg" very large and chaotic. Also, it is sourced with more than 400 references and according to this it can be a stand alone article. Discographymen (talk) 20:34, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello Kj cheetham can you please explain your stance on refusing a move to use of plurals on page names. I am familiar with WP:Singular but there are always exceptions, and the use of plural on all the page titles (many longstanding, and of which there are many more) I gave as examples are evidence of this. For redirect purposes in many cases the use of a plural name avoids the use of an ambiguation page. --Iztwoz (talk) 18:15, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello Kj--thanks so much for making this article better and cleaning up my infobox photo addition--my first time with an infobox, so I have a lot to learn. I'm writing to ask about the potential copyright issue you flagged. I'd like to help resolve that issue if I can. In fact, I'd like to make the whole piece better. I couldn't believe there wasn't even a photo of this amazing filmmaker!
One more quick question: I don't understand why there are two television sections toward the bottom of the article. One says it needs expansion, but I'm thinking the longer television section below it takes care of that. Perhaps I'm missing something?

On4 June 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Louise Willingale, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Louise Willingale is developing ZEUS, which is projected to be the most powerful laser in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Louise Willingale. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Louise Willingale), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi! I saw that you added project assessments for Angela Merkel; all of the classify the article as B-class. However, the top-level template labels it C-class as of a recent reassessment by User:Wow. Is there a particular reason for the difference between the project assessments and the general assessment? Actualcpscm (talk) 12:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
HiKj cheetham,
I'm reaching out to you as you recently gave me feedback on an edit that I made. I just created an article for Colin Leonard and was informed that it is being discussed for a speedy deletion. Can you check it out and let me know what I need to do on my end to keep it up?

Hello Kj cheetham,
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).
Reminders
Hi, thank you for your contributions. I note your of this statement over at WP:RMT. Note that if the OP has set "discuss=yes" in the proposal, it implies that he/she is in favour of taking it to RM; there's no need to seek further input before proceeding. 162 etc. (talk) 18:10, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
The New Page Patrol team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

Hello Kj cheetham, thank you for following-up on the recently published Cheryl McKissack Daniel article (my first AfC review). I noticed that you moved the {{WIR-00-2023}}
wrapper template into the banner shell. Can you have a glance at my note in Talk explaining why I placed it where I did, and let me know if any objection to my moving out again? Cheers, Cl3phact0 (talk) 16:59, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Hello Kj cheetham, reaching out to you for discussing on the addition of Cleanup tag and Puffery tag by you. I appreciate recent re-organization of content but instead of deleting my contributions would like to understand what the problems with the information were that I added on the life of Lancelot Ribeiro. To the best of my knowledge, I am being objective in my approach on describing his life and career. Would like to discuss the ways forward to remove the above-mentioned tags and continue positive contribution to bettering the article as art lovers.
Regards,
