Question from Mastereyecee7 (08:47, 8 May 2026)
Hi there, this is great that wikipedia pairs newcomers with a Mentor. I understand you are in the UK, could you refer or help assign me to a mentor in the US who handles biographies and history for people? I do have numerous questions on fixing an article Im closely involved in related to a US person. Thank you for your support. --Mastereyecee7 (talk) 08:47, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Mastereyecee7 and welcome to Wikipedia. Whilst I mainly edit UK topics I do have quite good knowledge of all parts of the editing process and would be more than happy to answer your questions.
- I'm not aware of a specific editor to direct you to but perhaps if you look on the history of the article you're interested in there may be an editor of interest? – Isochrone (talk) 09:20, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
- Ok thank you for your response. I have begun preparing for the edits I wish to make. In following the Wikipedia protocols and verifiability for sources and citation rules, I will first add the edits to the talk page along with brief description on why the edits are being made along with more credible verifiable sources. I will confer with you on the edits for your review, and consultation. Appreciate all of your assistance @Isochrone Mastereyecee7 (talk) 09:35, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Mastereyecee7 may I also clarify: do you have a conflict of interest with the article topic? This may mean that you will have to approach the edits slightly differently (but you're doing the right things). – Isochrone (talk) 09:45, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
- Interesting question and according to the Wikipedia definition I looked up from the link you provided I 'DO NOT' have a COI as I'm not "... contributing to Wikipedia articles about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships."
- Not sure what is meant by other relationships and I'm ensuring I'm adhering to the 3 core policies for content editing which are "Verifiability, Neutral point of View, and No original research.". However I'll continue to consult with you and others via the talk page to proceed in a cautious and neutral manner that is aligned to the Wikipedia community rules.

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026
Hello Isochrone/Archives/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
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.

Question from Forgotten.cosmonaut (09:46, 16 May 2026)
hi. how do you professionally edit things? i can't seem to think of ways i could edit something without the edit seeming distinctly off, structurally, from the rest of the text. --Forgotten.cosmonaut (talk) 09:46, 16 May 2026 (UTC)
