I want to talk with Muninnbot, why am I here?
Muninnbot is not a real person but a bot performing automated edits. You can talk to the human handling this account on this page.
I cannot edit this page!
On 2018-11-07, an administrator semi-protected my talk page because of some vandalism. You can head to User_talk:Tigraan/unprotected_backup to contact me if that affects you.
Simple instructions for new editors
Although you should probably look at WP:TALK, please at least do the following:
- For a first contact, create a new subsection: the easy way to do so is to click on the "new section" tab above the editing area.
- For a follow-up, indent your posts: use ':' to indent once, '::' twice, ':::', etc. - indent once more than the thread you are replying to.
- Sign your posts, using four tildes (
~~~~
) at the end of them.
If you refer to a specific existing article page (e.g. Tiger), discussion of general interest should take place on the article talk page (e.g. Talk:Tiger). I will usually know by my watchlist that the page changed, but you can "ping" me by including the code {{U|Tigraan}}
in your post and signing it by four tildes (cf. above).
You may still have reasons to contact me more personally, in which case it can be done on either of our talk pages. In that case, please keep the discussion where it started.
Old timers
I watch all pages that I edit in article/article talk space and user talk pages, except the ones with lots of traffic. In other cases, please ping me if needed.
New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Tigraan,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
>NPP backlog: 11172 as of 20:00, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, 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.

About the draft I created recently
You told me that i don't care what you have said to add reliable and proper source . Actually, it's not . I am new in English wikipedia, so I'm facing problems in adding references,like what website will be proper to fulfill wiki's criteria. So I'm improving myself day by day and asking your help Baruah ranuj (talk) 18:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
