Incomplete/Inaccurate edit summaries
Please do not make changes to the era setting on articles. I have reverted your edit on 25th dynasty of Egypt because you inexplicably and unnecessarily changed BC to BCE. Please feel free to carry out your edit without the era setting change. Note that you are close to the WP:3RR limit after which you can be blocked. Also it appears that you routinely alter the era setting from BC in articles and leave inaccurate/misleading comments in the edit summary. Please familiarise yourself with applicable policies on cooperative editing including accurate edit summaries. Edits with misleading summaries may be reverted by any editor.--Polyssotsky (talk) 14:33, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Sympathies
I just came across an exchange between you and @Newimpartial: re. your edits to the Olmecs article. I merely wanted you to know that I'm sorry for the treatment you endured at his hands and I admire your character in dealing with his abuse in a seemingly professional way. Most notably, I think it's always unwarranted for someone to presumptively aver that "You need to be more careful," etc., rather than to substantively address a given issue. That pattern of vainglorious abuse is evident throughout Newimpartial's talk page, so I hope you and the other targets are none the worse for it. Cheers, and good health. --Kent Dominic·(talk) 07:03, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

Mistake in the Mari article
I think you made a small mistake while editing the article about Mari, Green's book linked to support this does not link the name of the city with Itūr-Mēr, he only discusses the diffusion of cult of this deity in this area? And as far as I know, authors who do accept that the name of this city was derived from a theonym advocate a connection with the basic form Mēr/Wēr, not with the derivative Itūr-Mēr (which was exactly what the article advocated before your edit too). Most recent source to address the matter is, to my best knowledge, the Wettergott(heiten) entry in RlA by Daniel Schwemer (p. 90), and he similarly makes it clear this theory (which he does not seem to support himself) pertains to Mēr/Wēr, as opposed to Itūr-Mēr. HaniwaEnthusiast (talk) 19:01, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- However, the name of the tutelary deity of Mari is Itūr-Mēr, not Mer, so I can change the cite to Paul-Alain Beaulieu (20 November 2017). A History of Babylon, 2200 BC - AD 75. John Wiley & Sons. p. 106. ISBN 978-1-119-45907-1. OCLC 1010542283., which clearly states this. Ogress 20:18, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Ogress!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

New page reviewer granted
Hi Ogress. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
- Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
- Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. – Joe (talk) 08:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello Ogress,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
