Hello, Carwil.It is nice to meet you personally on your talk page. Let me quoteUser:Macrakis:

It looks like you have not been notified of the additional scrutiny the topic area is under. This is your notification of that. The case page mentions a "warning" but please look at this as no more than a simple heads up on it since the only concern was that revertlike edit at Psagot. Not a major concern but it is slightly annoying and could grow into a larger problem if editors start knee-jerking. SO to make sure everyone is on the same page: "As a result ofan arbitration case, theArbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to thePalestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broadediting restrictions, describedhere."Cptnono (talk)23:02, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I very much enjoyed your talk at Wikipedia Day 18 NYC on Sunday. I was poking around and found a couple of things that might be of interest. First, there is a project at Open Street Map called Open Historical Map,https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Historical_Map that maybe a good home for creating thematic maps that reflect what has happened to people in a more balanced way. Their FAQ page could use some text on the problems you are trying to solve.
I suppose you are aware that we have acommons:Category:Maps of indigenous peoples of the Americas which has a number of maps that may meet part of your goals. In particular I was struck byFile:Young folks' history of the United States (1903) (14775227994).jpg which does not have a modern state boundary background and was in a book for children from 1903. I wonder how authoritative it is and if it should be used in one of our introductory articles--agr (talk)
Hope you can join usthis saturday. We could use your help! --Heathart (talk)17:09, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Carwil,
I had a question as to why a new page is deleted even if there is citation in it. What is the main reason for it. Kindly waiting for your response.
Thank You— Precedingunsigned comment added byTerminatorwil (talk •contribs)10:54, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
HelloCarwil! I am the co-founder of a company, Boundless Immigration, that helps individuals apply for green cards and U.S. citizenship. Before that, I worked on immigration policy in the Obama White House.
After reviewing Wikipedia’sPublic charge rule article, I have suggestions for improving it. For example, the current article does not distinguish among the three different public charge regulations that have been finalized (or are soon to be proposed) by DHS, the State Department, and DOJ. It also does not clearly distinguish between the two separate parts of the Immigration and Nationality Act that deal with public charge as a grounds for inadmissibility vs. deportability.
This is an area I know reasonably well, having developed a wide range of public education materials and legal analyses of the public charge rule(s) through Boundless. Yet because of that intersection between my position with Boundless and my work on the public charge rule, I believe I may have a conflict of interest if I directly edit the article.
For more background, here’s a link to the resources that Boundless has made available about the various public charge rules:https://www.boundless.com/public-charge-rule
And here is a draft Wikipedia article about the company:Draft:Boundless Immigration. I am in the process of editing and updating the draft, with the required COI disclosure.
If you agree that I do have a COI with respect to thePublic charge rule article, would you be willing to review my suggestions on the talk page of the article and, if you agree with them, make the revisions? I would appreciate your feedback on any proposed changes you do not agree with, of course. I could use theWikipedia:Simple conflict of interest edit request form if that's helpful. I am also happy to make purely technical improvements to the page, such as adding in-line citations, if you would like for me to do that. Thank you in advance!Messier6 (talk)02:05, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Carwil,
NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been sinceACPERM, your help could really make a difference.
In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Hello Carwil,
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done byRosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go toJTtheOG andOnel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks toJohn B123,Hughesdarren, andMccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed byDannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on theredirect whitelist.

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
As a special recognition and thank youDannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

The fileFile:Notes from the Second Year cover, New York Radical Women.jpg has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free cover art whose non-free use inThe personal is political#The Carol Hanisch essay failsWP:NFCC#8 (WP:NFC#cite_note-3). While the essay may be Wikipedia notable, there's no reason to show the cover of the publication it appeared in unless the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary; so, basically this file's non-free use inWP:DECORATIVE in the article about the essay and removing the file from the article is not going to be detrimental to the reader's understanding of the article perWP:NFC#CS. For reference, the file was also being used inNew York Radical Women andShulamith Firestone, but these uses didn't have the separate specific non-free use rationale required byWP:NFCC#10c; so, the file was removed from those articles perWP:NFCCE. The file's use in those other two articles also doesn't seem to satisfy NFCC#8 and simply adding a rationale for each would not make the file's non-free use in each policy compliant perWP:JUSTONE.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may bedeleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing{{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop theproposed deletion process, but otherdeletion processes exist.

Hello :)I am writing my MA dissertation on Wikipedia Wars and the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I noticed that you have contributed to those pages. My dissertation will look at the process of collaborative knowledge production on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the effect it has on bias in the articles. This will involve understanding the profiles and motivations of editors, contention/controversy and dispute resolution in the talk pages, and bias in the final article.
For more information, you can check out mymeta-wiki research page or myuser page, where I will be posting my findings when I am done.
I would greatly appreciate if you could take 5 minutes to fill outthis quick surveybefore 8 August 2021.
Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous. There are no foreseeable risks nor benefits to you associated with this project.

Hello Carwil,
Please jointhis discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights includingAutopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves atAfC andNPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detectionhere.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
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 or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are describedhere.

Hi Carwil! I recall that in yourWikiConference North America plenary last year, you discussed an example of editors contributing to cultural erasure by prematurely declaring theWukchumni language extinct. I just came across a related example that I wanted to draw to your attention. The last male member of the AmazonianJuma people died of COVID-19 last February, but he had three daughters who married into other tribes and several multiethnic grandchildren. An editor (since blocked)changed the article last October, stating without sourcing that the daughters had also died and the tribe gone extinct. Searching, I couldn't find any coverage indicating that, but the edits stuck around until I just reverted them today. This is clearly a poorly monitored area, but even so, falsely declaring an entire ethnic group extinct for more than 6 months is a pretty egregious error.(Courtesy pingingUnitedStatesian who previously reverted at the article andPonyo who blocked the editor later for socking.){{u|Sdkb}} talk20:23, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Carwil,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on thetalk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently869 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 829 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with agood understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do 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.

Hello Carwil,
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 newdiscussion 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).
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated bybuidhe andZippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign uphere.
Barnstars will be awarded.
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.
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:
Very highunreviewed pages backlog: 18585 articles, as of 20:00, 28 November 2025 (UTC), according toDatBot
There has been significant discussion atWP: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.

Hello Carwil,
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 coordinatorsBuidhe andZippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations toDr vulpes who led with 880 points. Seethis 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 theother 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at leastone a day.

Hello Carwil,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. Theopen 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 thecurrent issue ofThe Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks toMPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went toJohn 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 theAwards page. Check out the newHall of Fame also.
Software news:Novem Linguae andMPGuy2824 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 recentlyhere. Thereviewer 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 theOctober 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!
Hi! I'm currently working on expanding Wikipedia's article onDavid Choquehuanca, the vice president of Bolivia, and was wondering if you could provide some insight, specifically regarding his policy as the country's foreign minister. In a2020 article, you touch on "diplomacy of the peoples" and the ideas of "Vivir Bien". Perhaps you could point me to some sources you consulted on the topic? Cheers!Krisgabwoosh (talk)22:39, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Carwil!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. —Rhododendritestalk \\19:50, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Carwil,
The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations toWaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. Seethis 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 theAwards page and theHall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
Minimum deletion time: The previousWP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification andWP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in thefeed 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, friendlyexplanation 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 yourcommon.js or vector.js file fromUser: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, seethis guide,this checklist, and spend some time atWP:RFD.
Discussions with the WMF ThePageTriage 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 submitteddozens 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 asNovem Linguae andMPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team alsohad a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discussrevamping the landing pages that new users see.

Hello Carwil,
Backlog
Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to0 (momentarily). Congratulations toHey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed byMeena andGreyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. Seethis 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 themhere.
WMF work on PageTriage: TheWMF Moderator Tools team, consisting ofSam,Jason andSusana, and also some patches fromJon, has been hard at workupdating 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-inbeta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite ofSpecial:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details atWT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.
Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are nowautomatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply atWT:AFCP like was required previously). To install theAFC helper script, visitSpecial:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visitSpecial: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 atWP: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 thatdraftspace 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 ownSNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists isWP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).
Reminders
Hello Carwil,
TheNew 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 visitingSpecial:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

I editedWikipedia:Wiki Ed/Vanderbilt University/Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples (fall 2023), fixing a links in links lint error. If you go to page history and look atthe version before my edit, you can see that the display is bollixed for Week 8, but it's fixed in the latest version.
I encourage you or someone to copy the change back to the dashboard. I do not know how to do that.

Hello Carwil,
Backlog update:At the time of this message, there are11,300 articles and15,600 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 cansign up here.
PageTriage code upgrades:Upgrades to thePageTriage code, initiated by theNPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by theWMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be foundhere. As part of this work, theSpecial: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:NewPagesFeedhere - it will replace the current version soon.
Notability tip:Professors can meetWP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find theirGoogle Scholar orScopus profile and take a look at theirh-index and number of citations. As avery rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index oftwenty 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 useDiscord 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.

Hi, the discussion is protected, so I'm writing to you as I saw you recently edited there. I kindly ask you to write by my name in the discussion the following suggestion: "The article describes the victim as "civilians who were attempting to get food from aid trucks on al-Rashid street at the Al-Nabulsi roundabout to the west of Gaza City". Nonetheless, all over the world it was reported that they were trying to pillage (or at least rob) the aid truck, while stressing how desperate they were so they were not culpable. Culpable or not, a neutral description much depict the action as it was - not an "attempt to get food from an aid truck", but an attempt pillage. --Amir Segev Sarusi (talk)15:42, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Carwil,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations toSchminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations toJTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in theMay backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar.Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see theAwards page and theHall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: TheWMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developersdeployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and thengave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work toSpecial:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, whowrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updatedNPP Browser tool.
