New Page Reviewing

Hello, Bencherlite.

As one of Misplaced Pages's most experienced editors,
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines; currently Misplaced Pages needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere 22:10, 25 December 2017 (UTC)

Articles for Creation Reviewing

Hello, Bencherlite.

AfC submissions
Random submission

2+ months

1,874 pending submissionsPurge to update

I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project, AfC, which is also extremely backlogged.
Would you please consider becoming an Articles for Creation reviewer? Articles for Creation reviewers help new users learn the ropes of creating their first articles, and identify whether topics are suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages. Reviewing drafts doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Misplaced Pages inclusion policies and guidelines; currently Misplaced Pages needs experienced users at this task. (After requesting to be added to the project, reviewing is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the reviewing instructions before making your decision. Thanks. — Insertcleverphrasehere 01:39, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
