Note: this page contains many messages about many declined AfC submissions.  That's because I have spent a lot of time testing Articles for Creation tools -- not because I actually have been declined that often!

New Page Reviewer

Note: Because Articles for Creation and New Page Review are so inextricably correlated, I am according you this user right so that you can compare the two systems and better understand how they are as similar as they are different.

Hello Cloud atlas. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the  New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia; if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you  need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

• URGENT: Please consider helping get the huge backlog down to a manageable number of pages as soon as possible.

• Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.

• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.

• Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.

• Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator.  Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:45, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

AfC notification: User:Cloud atlas/sandbox has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at User:Cloud atlas/sandbox. Thanks! Legacypac (talk) 19:05, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Re User:Cloud atlas/sandbox in AFC; possible to use clearer title?

I've seen User:Cloud atlas/sandbox pop up in the AFC queue, and while I understand it's a tool used to measure metrics or something, is it not possible to have a clearer title like "User:Cloud atlas/AFC metrics tool do not edit" or something so AFC reviewers know not to even bother opening it? Not a huge deal, but it takes several seconds for maybe a dozen reviewers to open it up and then realize they don't need to. Just a suggestion. MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:55, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

@MatthewVanitas: thanks for pointing that out -- I didn't realize. I've renamed it, but also declined it so that it won't linger in the queue. Please let me know if anything else seems off. -- Cloud atlas (talk) 03:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Leave Me Alone (Hinds album), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Spin (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.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:16, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
