New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

Hello A09,

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

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.
• To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Question from NorthernLightEsssentials (07:42, 18 May 2026)

Note: NorthernLightEsssentials's mentor IAmChaos is away.

Hi IAmChaos - i got two messages from a Wikipedia bot about referencing errors in my latest edit. I can't see any errors there. The reporting false positive form is very time consuming with the details it requires. I replied to the bot asking to be more specific about the errors. Is that a good way to go? Greetings, Maik --NorthernLightEsssentials (talk) 07:42, 18 May 2026 (UTC)

@NorthernLightEsssentials: I am sorry for a very late reply - must have read the notification and forgot to reply. What you did is okay, though I'd usually message the bot operator directly so they don't miss your message. Best! A09|(talk) 15:06, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Question from IliebeWiki (15:00, 27 May 2026)

Hi mentor, I would like to add to "Newcastle airport (NCL)" the airlines Eurowings (to Düsseldorf) and KLM (to Amsterdam) --IliebeWiki (talk) 15:00, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

@IliebeWiki: Hi and welcome! I left you some useful links on your talkpage to read through. All you need to do is edit the table (I suggest by editing through the visual editor) but also don't forget to add a reliable source backing up your claims. Of course, if you need any further assistance, let me know. Best regards, A09|(talk) 15:13, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
