My user name is Jewel Inc. and I work closely with the Grammy nominated artist Jewel. I have tried a number of times to clarify and update Jewel’s biography page. I noticed that you had reverted my edits back. I do have sources I can “but I do not know how to put that in a coding format. If I get you the information in the sources can the page be updated properly to reflect the truth. Jewel Inc (talk) 03:37, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
- I am sorry your first experience editing here was not as productive as you had hoped. User:C.Fred was the person who reverted your edits, although given time I would have done the same. As he mentioned on your talk page the edits were unsourced, which are a fundamental requirement for biographical articles. For help in learning how to add references please read Help:Referencing for beginners. The edits did appear to be promotional rather than biographic. There was a heavy emphasis on people other than Jewel herself, with a strong (repeated) insertion of a particular individual. Additionally you should very carefully read over the first part of your talk page regarding a conflict of interest. Wiki has articles written "about" not "for" someone.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 02:34, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Edit warring
Hi! I’m not sure if you’re the right person for this—I’m just reporting to the first person I see in the edit history of the Jenna Coleman article. There is an anonymous user who keeps adding unsourced information on what’s presumably Melia from Xenoblade Chronicles 3. As it stands, her role has not been confirmed for the this upcoming video game, even though Coleman is most likely reprising her role as Melia. How do I let this user know that unsourced information is discouraged on Wikipedia?—MomoQca (talk) 12:24, 22 February 2022 (UTC)

Wikilinks style guidelines.
In the article on veil you keep reverting a correction to a wikilink. The version you keep reverting to doesn't follow wiki styling guidelines, as your revision requires readers chase links. It as well does not explain the subject that the link is of.

- Perhaps it would be prudent for you to look up the definition of “nonsensical” for it does not appear to mean what you intend to say. The link to a section describing Colorado’s home rule municipality is neither nonsensical nor a style issue? There is specifically a section on linking to sections. Additionally you continue to inappropriately modify a citation, which at this point can be considered vandalism.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 21:18, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter May 2022
Hello Loriendrew,
At the time of the last newsletter (No.26, September 2021), the backlog was 'only' just over 6,000 articles. In the past six months, the backlog has reached nearly 16,000, a staggering level not seen in several years. A very small number of users had been doing the vast majority of the reviews. Due to "burn-out", we have recently lost most of this effort. Furthermore, several reviewers have been stripped of the user right for abuse of privilege and the articles they patrolled were put back in the queue.
Several discussions on the state of the process have taken place on the talk page, but there has been no action to make any changes. The project also lacks coordination since the "position" is vacant.
In the last 30 days, only 100 reviewers have made more than 8 patrols and only 50 have averaged one review a day. There are currently 799 New Page Reviewers, but about a third have not had any activity in the past month. All 855 administrators have this permission, but only about a dozen significantly contribute to NPP.
This means we have an active pool of about 450 to address the backlog. We cannot rely on a few to do most of the work as that inevitably leads to burnout. A fairly experienced reviewer can usually do a review in a few minutes. If every active reviewer would patrol just one article per day, the backlog would very quickly disappear.
If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, do suggest they help the effort by placing {{subst:NPR invite}}
on their talk page.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process and its software.

New Page Patrol newsletter June 2022
Hello Loriendrew,
- Backlog status
At the time of the last newsletter (No.27, May 2022), the backlog was approaching 16,000, having shot up rapidly from 6,000 over the prior two months. The attention the newsletter brought to the backlog sparked a flurry of activity. There was new discussion on process improvements, efforts to invite new editors to participate in NPP increased and more editors requested the NPP user right so they could help, and most importantly, the number of reviews picked up and the backlog decreased, dipping below 14,000[a] at the end of May.
Since then, the news has not been so good. The backlog is basically flat, hovering around 14,200. I wish I could report the number of reviews done and the number of new articles added to the queue. But the available statistics we have are woefully inadequate. The only real number we have is the net queue size.[b]
In the last 30 days, the top 100 reviewers have all made more than 16 patrols (up from 8 last month), and about 70 have averaged one review a day (up from 50 last month).
While there are more people doing more reviews, many of the ~730 with the NPP right are doing little. Most of the reviews are being done by the top 50 or 100 reviewers. They need your help. We appreciate every review done, but please aim to do one a day (on average, or 30 a month).
- Backlog drive
A backlog reduction drive, coordinated by buidhe and Zippybonzo, will be held from July 1 to July 31. Sign up here. Barnstars will be awarded.
- TIP – New school articles
Many new articles on schools are being created by new users in developing and/or non-English-speaking countries. The authors are probably not even aware of Wikipedia's projects and policy pages. WP:WPSCH/AG has some excellent advice and resources specifically written for these users. Reviewers could consider providing such first-time article creators with a link to it while also mentioning that not all schools pass the GNG and that elementary schools are almost certainly not notable.
- Misc
There is a new template available, {{NPP backlog}}
, to show the current backlog. You can place it on your user or talk page as a reminder:
Very high unreviewed pages backlog: 15828 articles, as of 18:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC), according to DatBot
There has been significant discussion at WP:VPP recently on NPP-related matters (Draftification, Deletion, Notability, Verifiability, Burden). Proposals that would somewhat ease the burden on NPP aren't gaining much traction, although there are suggestions that the role of NPP be fundamentally changed to focus only on major CSD-type issues.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.

Glastonbury Attendance Figures
My change uses capacity to estimate attendance as the festival was sold out in 2022. The change you reverted to also uses capacity to estimate attendance except it is an outdated figure from 2019. Musicfestivalexpert (talk) 21:35, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter August 2022
Hello Loriendrew,
- Backlog status
After the last newsletter (No.28, June 2022), the backlog declined another 1,000 to 13,000 in the last week of June. Then the July backlog drive began, during which 9,900 articles were reviewed and the backlog fell by 4,500 to just under 8,500 (these numbers illustrate how many new articles regularly flow into the queue). Thanks go to the coordinators Buidhe and Zippybonzo, as well as all the nearly 100 participants. Congratulations to Dr vulpes who led with 880 points. See this page for further details.
Unfortunately, most of the decline happened in the first half of the month, and the backlog has already risen to 9,600. Understandably, it seems many backlog drive participants are taking a break from reviewing and unfortunately, we are not even keeping up with the inflow let alone driving it lower. We need the other 600 reviewers to do more! Please try to do at least one a day.
- Coordination
- MB and Novem Linguae have taken on some of the coordination tasks. Please let them know if you are interested in helping out. MPGuy2824 will be handling recognition, and will be retroactively awarding the annual barnstars that have not been issued for a few years.
- Open letter to the WMF
- The Page Curation software needs urgent attention. There are dozens of bug fixes and enhancements that are stalled (listed at Suggested improvements). We have written a letter to be sent to the WMF and we encourage as many patrollers as possible to sign it here. We are also in negotiation with the Board of Trustees to press for assistance. Better software will make the active reviewers we have more productive.
- TIP - Reviewing by subject
- Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages by their most familiar subjects can do so from the regularly updated sorted topic list.
- New reviewers
- The NPP School is being underused. The learning curve for NPP is quite steep, but a detailed and easy-to-read tutorial exists, and the Curation Tool's many features are fully described and illustrated on the updated page here.
- Reminders
- Consider staying informed on project issues by putting the project discussion page on your watchlist.
- If you have noticed a user with a good understanding of Wikipedia notability and deletion, suggest they help the effort by placing
{{subst:NPR invite}}

Reverted edits on Pop-punk
It appears that your reverted my edit to Pop-punk, in which, I added an image to the infobox describing how Green Day was the most successful of the genre. Your reasoning was that it was, "not appropriate for infobox". I disagree with this, as British Invasion, Smooth jazz, Rap rock, and especially Grunge have similar images and captions. In addition, I cited 2 sources and was stating a fact that they are the most successful of the genre. If you would like to open a discussion on the talk page or discuss it on here, that would be great. Sincerely, Key of G Minor. Tools: (talk, contribs) 01:00, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
- Pop-punk is not Green Day's primary genre, so stating they are the best selling artist is the equivalent of creative accounting. MOS:CAPLENGTH for infoboxes should be short and succinct, in this situation if it were appropriate, something like "Green Day in 2010" would be appropriate; as such it would not offer any information to contribute to understanding the topic. If you wish to include the image, please gain consensus on the talk page of the article.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:55, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

An Overlong but Superbly Written Response to Your Accusation
Thank you for advising me about adding defamatory content to Wikipedia. I know I've been bad, and were I a child, I'd suggest you paddle my bare bottom. (Isn't the subjunctive lovely? Would that it not be moribund in English.) I wish you were with me tonight. You could bathe me (très excitant!) and wrap me in my jammies and kindly advise me about all sorts of things. For you, after all, are a master intellect. For you, after all, with your wise and prophetic musings, are a modern-day Pythia (which--truth be told--makes me cry).
Now, lest I tax your patience, I proceed to the business of the court: I don't know who Melissa Benoist is, and am therefore confused and troubled by your charges. I searched for her at once on Wikipedia, but my (admittedly cursory) glance at her (very tedious) page failed to assuage my anxious bewilderment. (Please don't think that I'm denying your accusation, Pythia: I simply don't remember thinking of the bitch, let alone defaming her.) (Oh, bother! I must be careful. Let me assure you that I do not mean "bitch" in any pejorative sense.) Since I don't doubt that I said something, I assume that you were justified in taking offense. And I'm certain that having your nose in the air is a good look for you.
Eventually, of course, I shall be blocked from editing. Of this I am sure. But I don't want you to feel ever sorrow in your heart. Merci de ne pas! For I shall reveal to you a secret: I am a phoenix of Wikipedia. Once I rise triumphantly from the flames of my expulsion, I shall once again make my presence known by means of gentle observations and fabulous bons mots. (Oh, how this thought sustains me! Much like the spinster who misplaced a bratwurst in her underwear, I find myself almost giddy with pleasure!) (Gracious, I do overuse parenthetical asides, don't I? Um, er... not so fast! This does not mean that I am Joyce Carol Oates!! I'M NOT, I SWEAR IT!!!)
Anyhoo, it is time I retire, with my book and my nasal spray. (I'm rereading Descartes, Les passions de l'âme, and loving it!) As I say goodnight, may I ask a favor? Décontracte! It is not a big favor. It is simply this: go at once to your kitchen and open a drawer. Find something very sharp. Take it in hand and shove it so far up your ass that you cut your fucking tongue off. Bon appétit! I love you. Untold Millions (talk) 19:07, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
class parameter
In regards to my edits of "class parameters" that you have reverted I bundled the duplicate class parameter under {{wikiproject banner shell}}, which to me makes the templates look cleaner (I think is a rather recent change that was made to how the banner shell system works). I didn't think anybody would find such a change controversial or needing explaining, seeing as the class ranking is still maintained under the wpbs (and it's not as if any of these rankings where uniquely given by wikiprojects). Do you have any particular reason for wanting to keep the duplicate rankings instead of bundling them? Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 22:55, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Global quality assessments
I noticed your recent rollbacks regarding removal of class parameters. The edits were in good faith, and a result of the unanimously supported Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 198#Project-independent quality assessments. Due to this, articles which are rated a certain quality level by all the WikiProjects on its talk page should have their rating move to the banner shell. This will automatically populate all relevant WikiPRoject categories. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 22:59, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
- Something like this should be mentioned in an edit summary. None of the rollbacks mentioned any rationale for the changes.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 00:38, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'm sure you're not at fault here because it is easy to miss out on developments like this, and without appropriate summaries, there's no way to know what's going on. I just wanted to inform you about the development. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 05:54, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
why revert
There is a mention of de Sade on Reve's wiki page, so why revert? Stop doing this. Thank you! Tjerkvermaning (talk) 13:38, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- You had just added an unsourced statement to Reve's article then added him as an influence to Sade. Please provide reliable sourcing.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 13:45, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
