A Short History of Nearly Everything
Would you be so kind and take a look at my recently removed and archived modification to the article A Short History of Nearly Everything. The required citations were internal Misplaced Pages links.

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.

- 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.

thanks for the speedy correction of the speedy deletion
It was too quick for me as I am moving material from main sandbox to this temporary sub-page, to make the main sandbox useable and easier to read. Thank you for fixing it to avoid me losing all the material collated.
Reverting off-topic posts helps our counter-vandalism effort, and we need your help.
I noticed that you chose to converse, rather than revert an off-topic post, even noting that the prior message was a violation of WP:NOTAFORUM. You are correct in your assessment, but replying to the original poster causes problems per WP:TPO. We are free to simply revert off-topic posts, but once more than a single editor is posting the conversation has to be hidden or archived, but never deleted unless it was oversighted, which doesn't apply here. That talk page gets a lot of off-topic posts from new users that cannot read simple instructions. Our archives will overflow with such wasteful comments when we serve Misplaced Pages better by just reverting and issuing a warning, as I did. In the future, please nip the problem in the bud by stopping off-topic posts. Chris Troutman (talk) 15:58, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
