Draft:Continental Express Inc.
Hi Jeff,
I was wondering if you could take a look over my Draft:Continental Express Inc. page. As far as I can tell I have written it in a non-partisan way. All the content on there is accurate. Also, how do I move the table that is currently in the middle above 'History' to the right side on its own? If you could do that, or explain to how to me how to do that, that would be great! Let me know if you have any suggestions to the page and how I can ensure that the page itself will get published.

- @Brad Gottemoeller: I suggest you read Help:Infobox and WP:MFA, and then use {{Infobox company}}. You should also distinguish your article from the other titles at Special:PrefixIndex/Continental Express. — Jeff G. ツ 20:24, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Concerning the photo of Raffaella Corcione Sandoval
Dear Jeff, I am new to the intricacies of communicating on Wikipedia, so forgive me if I do not use the proper technical protocol. Regarding the issue of copyright on the picture, you should know that this is a selfie by the artist. She has given me permission to use this photograph for this purpose. Please let me know if you need any other information in order to accept its use in the article. Thank you. Ted Nottingham (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 02:22, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019
Hello Jeff G./Archives/2019,
- WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
- QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.
- Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
- Move to draft
NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
- Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
- PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
- Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.
Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.
