DS alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in the Electronic cigarette topic area. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Disambiguation link notification for November 20

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gold Symphony Vodka, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Carat (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

1970s Topps

Hello, I am writing you because I wasn’t getting feedback by another individual who nominated some articles for deletion however you participated in the discussion. Unfortunately I was unavailable for the discussion. I would have preferred an improvement tag be used instead of a delete tag since it only gives you seven days to reply. I don’t have the luxury of getting here much anymore so projects went unimproved. You did state that it violated several features of WP:NOT though nothing specific. I have reviewed WP:NOT and can identify one possible area which can be easily remedied. If the articles is a violation so is something like this. The company and it’s products are also mentioned in all forms of media, fiction and non-fiction, film, television, academic journal, law journal, and Wall Street journal. I would have liked to bring some of that information to those articles. Libro0 (talk) 20:52, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Ambrosiawater, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! _signed,Rosguill ^talk 19:26, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your reviews

There were some grammatical issues in Avinash Singh Chauhan, but you marked it as reviewed without fixing them. Also, you marked Jiva Dada Bakshi as reviewed, but the sources used do not mention his name, and I was unable to find any sources on Google that provide significant coverage of him. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:51, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your feedback. I appreciate your careful revision of these articles. I am not a native English speaker, so sometimes I may miss some grammatical issues, although I do my due diligence not to leave any errors. Regarding Jiva Dada Bakshi, I saw some sources like History of the Marathas. Ambrosiawater (talk) 04:40, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response and for your efforts. There are plenty of tools that can help with grammar. I see no major issues with your reviews, but when it comes to Indian historical articles, I would suggest verifying every claim carefully, as a lot of fabricated sources are used to create misleading/hoax content. Thanks! – DreamRimmer (talk) 04:56, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting AfDs

Hi there, thanks for your help with the AfD queue. If you see something gnarly like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Patrick Hillmann, please don't relist it unless you're really quite sure it's impossible to close at the moment - watch out for WP:RELISTBIAS. If you are going to relist something like this one, it can help to leave a comment that explains why you didn't close it (or ignore it). That is, tell the participants what still needs to be decided. -- asilvering (talk) 04:42, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alexandra Jakob AFD

Hello, I've just speedy-closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alexandra Jakob (2nd nomination), in which you participated, because it's seemingly involved in a scam attempt and sockpuppetry; see WP:AN#Report of Scam on Wikipedia and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Expertwikiguy. If you believe that this article should be deleted, you're welcome to renominate it immediately — WP:SK prohibits making nominations of the same page with the same arguments immediately after they were strongly rejected in a recently closed deletion discussion, but that doesn't apply here because the closure was procedural. I'm notifying all AFD participants who are longstanding contributors (1+ year of editing or 1000 edits), so if you believe that it should be kept, look out in case someone else renominates it.

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

Hello Ambrosiawater,

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
