Template:Stop NPP 2/doc

• No parameter {{subst:Stop NPP 2}}
• Optional parameter {{subst:Stop NPP 2|Insert examples of poor patrolling acts (which follows the supplied start: "Specifically, ")}}

Specifically, in your patrol of foobar, you did not recognize that it was by an obvious paid editor, and marked it as patrolled while taking no actions on the fact that it was a copyright violation, was blatant advertising, was supported by no sources, was uncategorized and... If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Signature, Timestamp
