New pages patrol needs your help!

Hello Miniapolis/Archives/2023,

The New Page Patrol team is sending you this impromptu message to inform you of a steeply rising backlog of articles needing review. If you have any extra time to spare, please consider reviewing one or two articles each day to help lower the backlog. You can start reviewing by visiting Special:NewPagesFeed. Thank you very much for your help.

Reminders:

There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Copyediting saiyuki (manga)

Hi @Miniapolis:, i'm so sorry if i disturb you, but can you copy edit Saiyuki (manga) article? It has been a while since I expanded this article. The article is in need of very in-depth copyediting. Thanks a lot. M.A.LasTroniN910 (talk) 13:20, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I'm busy; please see the top of this page. List the article at WP:GOCE/REQ, and I or one of my colleagues will get to it. All the best, Miniapolis 13:32, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A beer for you!

Thanks very much for your fine work on Personality and reputation of Paul I of Russia. It's been a while since I looked at it, and it's a great improvement. It's now actually readable, since I last scrawled it with chunky crayons! :) Cheers! SN54129 14:31, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
