I edited and submitted the articles in the draft section for review
Good afternoon, Rsjaffe. My name is Kirilinm. I have made adjustments to the articles you curated and made all the necessary changes. I have added CoI to all the talk pages and edited the articles:
Draft:MQL5 Community — did proofreading in a neutral style, and edited the sources. Draft:MetaTrader 5 — did proofreading in a neutral style, edited the sources, did proofreading in a neutral style, and edited the sources. Added content and sources for MQL5 language after deleting the main article.
I hope you can be able to review your articles in your comfort time. Ready to make any necessary edits. Regards, Kirilinm (talk) 11:52, 02 August 2022 (UTC+03:00)
NPP Drive award

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello Rsjaffe/Archives/2022,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- 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.

Speedy deletion declined: Protenodontosaurus
Hello Rsjaffe. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Protenodontosaurus, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not an unambiguous copyright infringement, or there is other content to save. Thank you. DatGuyTalkContribs 16:47, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

What do I need to do to keep my page here? I am a retired broadcaster who once was on over 200 stations on a news network and also with art bell in 2015. He is on here as well as many other American talk radio broadcasters. Leoashcraft2 (talk) 03:17, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
