Pending changes reviewer granted



right|130px ↗
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|pending changes reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits ↗ on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges ↗, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages ↗.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Autopatrolled granted



right|80px ↗
Hi Kochas, I just wanted to let you know that I have <span class="plainlinks">[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&page=User%3AKochas added]</span> the "{{mono|autopatrolled}}" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers ↗. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled ↗. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! '''<span style="color: blue;">Go</span> <span style="color: #E90004;">''Phightins''</span><span style="color: #008504;">!</span> ↗''' 15:58, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
:{{Re|Go Phightins!}} Thank you, I'm really happy of my upgrade. Kind Regards. — Kochas 19:11, 13 March 2021 (UTC)

Links to draft articles



25px|alt=Information icon ↗ Please do not introduce links ↗ in actual articles to draft ↗ articles, as you did to :Jarosław Królewski ↗. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style ↗. {{#ifeq:{{lc:}}|yes|An edit has converted these links, into links to the not-currently-existing page (redlinks) where the draft will be placed if it is eventually accepted. Thus the links will automatically become valid links aimed at the correct target when and if the draft is accepted.|These links have been removed.}} Thank you.<!-- Template:Uw-draft-link --> - Arjayay (talk) 15:03, 18 January 2024 (UTC)


Logical quotation and abbreviations



Hello. Regarding your recent edits to In Waves (Jamie xx album) ↗, please do not use contractions like "it's" in encyclopedic text per WP:N'T ↗. Please also do not put punctuation inside of quotation marks that is not present in the original quotation per WP:LQ ↗. Finally, you should not mark large contributions of content as minor edits—see Help:Minor edit ↗. Thanks. <b><span style="color: #FF6347;">Ss</span><small><span style="color: #1E90FF;">112</span></small></b> 01:59, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

BNP Paribas mergers



Hello! A few months ago you proposed some mergers related to BNP Paribas ↗, and there was no objection to any of them. Is this something you're still interested in? <span style="color:#487d30">Thebiguglyalien</span> (<span style="color:#714e2a">talk</span>) 🛸 ↗ 23:26, 26 December 2025 (UTC)

:Sure, let's do this. As: ● BNP Paribas CIB ↗ is already redundant with the main article. ● BNP Paribas Real Estate ↗ is mere four sentences. And ● BNP Paribas Asset Management ↗ is five-six sentences. (Don't get me wrong, and I appreciate the headsup, but do I need to be okay with it?)
:Btw. originally I've added two ↗ more ↗ merger proposals, but they were dismissed, and it's fine. — Kochas 23:49, 26 December 2025 (UTC)
::I thought I'd ask since it doesn't look like anyone else plans on merging them, which can often mean they wait for a long time and possibly end up never getting merged. <span style="color:#487d30">Thebiguglyalien</span> (<span style="color:#714e2a">talk</span>) 🛸 ↗ 20:30, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
:::Oh I see, and I appreciate the collaborative spirit, thank you. After I'd discovered the abundance of BNP articles, I had been waiting with any chopping for someone with some more knowledge on banking than me. So now, if you feel like you're up for some cleaning, you're more than welcome. — Kochas 20:42, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

<!-- do not use ;Header to make bold headers per H:DL ↗, causes errors for screen readers -->
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

thumb|400px|New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026 ↗

'''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'''

74px|left ↗{{no ping|JTtheOG}} was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.
{{no ping|Hey man im josh}} and {{no ping|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.

{{no ping|BoyTheKingCanDance}}, {{no ping|Rosiestep}}, {{no ping|SunDawn}}, and {{no ping|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 {{no ping|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.
