Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true. No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well TB. MarnetteD|Talk 20:51, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Cheers

Merry Christmas, TonyBallioni! Or Season's Greetings or Happy Winter Solstice! As the year winds to a close, I would like to take a moment to recognize your hard work and offer heartfelt gratitude for all you do for Misplaced Pages. And for all the help you've thrown my way over the years. May this Holiday Season bring you nothing but joy, health and prosperity. Onel5969 19:14, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

New Page Review newsletter December 2019

Reviewer of the Year

This year's Reviewer of the Year is Rosguill. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to Onel5969 who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to Boleyn and JTtheOG who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with CAPTAIN MEDUSA and DannyS712 (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

(The top 100 reviewers of the year can be found here)

Redirect autopatrol

A recent Request for Comment on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was closed early. New Page Reviewers are now able to nominate editors who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a list of users whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by DannyS712 bot III.

Source Guide Discussion

Set to launch early in the new year is our first New Page Patrol Source Guide discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a WP:BEFORE prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the New Page Patrol talk page for more information.

This month's refresher course

While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on Misplaced Pages:Notability (geographic features). Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm NahalAhmed. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, User:Paradise Chronicle, and have marked it as unpatrolled. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.

(Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

-Nahal 22:36, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

NahalAhmed, I know this is an automated message, and I don't really care if you're reviewing user pages, but why did you unreview an autopatrolled page that was just a sock tag? TonyBallioni (talk) 22:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm sorry for that actually it's totally mistake, When I comment I accidentally click on an account and go autopartlled by mistake. I hope this doesn't go wrong in the future. Thank you.-Nahal 22:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, no problem. I was just confused. Have a great night :) TonyBallioni (talk) 22:48, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Have a Good Night.-Nahal 22:52, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Heh. It’s my standard for redacting stuff :) It’s under discussion on the list. No worries. We just take a suppress and discuss approach to complicated cases. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

Userbox

I like you your userbox supporting IP editing. Can I use it, but with her/herself instead of his/himself? Clovermoss (talk) 01:34, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Sure :) Just copy it and change it. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:36, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Requesting edit history clean

Thank you for the block on User: 95.237.178.78, can you please also clean the edit history on MasterChef (American season 9) to remove his edits completely as they are all foul language and personal attacks. Thanks. - SanAnMan (talk) 01:40, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
