New page patrol school

[edit]

Hello @Cassiopeia, I have noticed the growing backlog in New pages patrol and would like to apply for New page reviewer rights. Before submitting my application, I would appreciate training in this subject. My primary focus has been on improving existing articles through copyediting and adding verifiable references to those lacking sources. Additionally, I have created articles to support mainspace pages and highlight specific subjects independently. I would be obliged if you could kindly assist me in gaining the necessary knowledge and training in this area. Please let me know if you would be willing to help. Thank you.

@Cassiopeia: Hello, and thank you for your response. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since 2015, though intermittently. I would like to inform you that I have completed the WP:TWA programme, as recommended. However, I have removed all the badges recived during the module from my user page. You can verify this through the following revision. Please note that, although the final badge is numbered 15, there are only 14 in total, as badge number 8 appears to be unavailable. I would be grateful if you could kindly set up the NPPS programme if the above is in order. Thank you. QEnigma (talk) 11:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cassiopeia: Thank you for setting up the programme. As I did not receive an alert for the new page, I checked your contributions history and was able to access this page – User:Cassiopeia/NPPS/QEnigma. I assume this is the correct training page, although it appears to be addressed to another editor. I would be grateful if you could kindly confirm. QEnigma (talk) 00:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
