Could you look at Camp Roosevelt (Maine) to see if there is any history that can be restored? Thanks. --evrik ^(talk) 16:38, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
@Evrik it looks like nothing of that nave has been deleted -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 17:19, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

DYK

Hi, thanks for this: Template:Did you know nominations/Just Got Back From the Discomfort—We're Alright. I don't really know how DYK works though. Do I need to do anything? Endwise (talk) 18:18, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

@Endwise: No, I have done all of the leg work for this one. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 21:44, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, can you please set the "Poker Face" captions page to the correct lyrics?

As I mention on the talk page, there's no doubt about what the lyrics are in that portion of the song, which is verifiable from many, many sources, and apparently from the writer herself. So the lyrics here are currently incorrect. Also, on a personal level, I feel it was highly unfair to say that my correction was "vandalism". That's so very wrong. I'd appreciate an apology for that. I'm just trying to put the correct lyrics in the captions, and I'm taking a metric-ton of flak for doing that. It's unfair and wrong, and I don't need to be insulted on top of that. Thanks for your consideration. -- 71.193.20.55 (talk) 22:33, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

I'm not restricted

Wikipedia_talk:Editing_restrictions#Request_removal_of_outdated_restrictions. You'll have to find some other way to try to suppress my point of view. Huggums537 (talk) 14:03, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

@Huggums537: Good to know. I am going to warn you that refusing to get the point like this is disruptive and ensures a quick trip back to ANI or out of the project. -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 14:25, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Unblock request from a spammer

Thanks for your response to my request at User talk:2001:8004:1400:4E6C:3D07:CA95:EDD1:FD9E. I have since then discovered significant discrepancies between what the unblock request said and what editing history and logs record, making it clear that the unblock request was not made in 100% good faith. Some, but not all, of what I found is now described on that talk page. I mention this purely in case you may find it interesting. JBW (talk) 13:00, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

@JBW Thank you for the heads up -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 14:27, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Just want to extend a big thank you for being so quick on the review for this FAC. I have made some initial responses to some of these comments. Your help is much appreciated! dannymusiceditor ^oops 16:37, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022

Hello Guerillero/Archives/2022,

At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.

Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.

In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 826 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 850 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.

This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.

If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}} on their talk page.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

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

AE close

Is this a logged warning or just another generic one to throw on to the big pile of previously ignored warnings? Mr Ernie (talk) 22:45, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

@Mr Ernie: I don't see a huge upside to logging the warning. I think I and the other admins made our position very clear -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 10:22, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

I’ve found about a dozen or so previous warnings for more or less similar behavior spanning the last 8 years. Mr Ernie (talk) 19:02, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

FAC review

Hi Guerillero. Since you are an experienced FAC reviewer, would you would be willing to take a look at my current FAC nomination, Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House/archive1? This nomination unfortunately has attracted few comments so far. I would be extremely grateful for any feedback you could give. – Epicgenius (talk) 00:20, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

I will take a look this week -- Guerillero ^{Parlez Moi} 13:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
