If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} and your question on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

CSD tags

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. However, the CSD tag you placed on Rabid Reaction was unjustified and I have removed it. A stub on a musical album can not be called promotional. I urge you to have a careful look at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion before you go on tagging. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 23:03, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

• BTW, 2011 in Lithuania was not nonsense--in no way could it be called so, and another editor rightly removed the tag. Drmies (talk) 23:04, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the feedback. I'm interested in editing and the tag mistakes were due to me trying to learn when it is appropriate to place tags, not malicious intent. Thanks for the feedback. Betasquared (talk) 23:06, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

• Sure. I think, though, that by now all your speedies are declined--and honestly, tagging as nonsense, as you did for Setgeshgui, is likely to discourage new editors from contributing. Please do be more careful. Thanks for your note, Drmies (talk) 23:13, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Survey for new page patrollers

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Betasquared! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Betasquared,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your consideration. Please note that voting for proposals continues through December 12, 2016.
