'''Backlog update:'''
At the time of this message, there are ''11,300'' articles and ''15,600'' redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!
'''October backlog elimination drive''':
A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/October 2023/Participants|sign up here]].
'''PageTriage code upgrades''':
Upgrades to the [[mw:Extension:PageTriage|PageTriage]] code, initiated by the [[Wikipedia:NPPWMF|NPP open letter]] in 2022 and actioned by the [[mw:Moderator_Tools|WMF Moderator Tools Team]] in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/2023 Moderator Tools project|here]]. As part of this work, the [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed?ui_version=1 here] - it will replace the current version soon.
'''Notability tip''':
Professors can meet [[WP:PROF]] #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their [[Google Scholar]] or [[Scopus]] profile and take a look at their [[h-index]] and number of citations. As a ''very rough'' rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of [[h-index#Examples|twenty or more]], a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.
'''Reviewing tip''':
If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu Discord] voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

*To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers/Newsletter list|here]].
