Question from Vincitomniasveritas (21:57, 30 April 2026)

Hello! What to do when there’s definitely a conflict of interest with two editors who are known to be strongly affiliated (their livelihoods depend on it) with a person and the institutions surrounding them? I won’t name these editors here but it’s connected to these Wikipedia articles: Eknath Easwaran Passage Meditation Hagiography at its best as you’ll see when you read the Talk pages. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. --Vincitomniasveritas (talk) 21:57, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Have they edited the article? If not, ask them to make a COI edit request. Otherwise, try to convince not to edit the article. If they already have, warn them. If they continue, post about it on the COI noticeboard 🌙Eclipse (she/they/it • talk • edits) 22:56, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for quick response! They both have edited profusely often deleting any other editor contributions that bring up subjects (for example, sexual misconduct allegations) they don't like. I'll try your advice and post on the COI noticeboard. Thanks again! Vincitomniasveritas (talk) 23:17, 30 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. I've posted on the COI noticeboard: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard#Eknath Easwaran

Looks like I'm not the only one that has concerns.

Question: Is there a review board that looks at this and makes a decision? Vincitomniasveritas (talk) 22:17, 2 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

Hello LunaEclipse,

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.

Question from Mdali1203 (14:53, 1 June 2026)

TikTok has become one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. Millions of people use it every day to watch and create short videos. Among them are content creators who work hard to entertain, educate, and inspire their audiences. Reaching 10,000 followers on TikTok is an important milestone for many creators.

A TikTok content creator starts by sharing videos based on their interests and skills. Some create comedy videos, while others focus on education, technology, gaming, storytelling, lifestyle, or AI-generated content. The key to success is creating engaging and original content that people enjoy watching.

Building an audience on TikTok requires consistency. Successful creators upload videos regularly and stay updated with the latest trends. They also interact with their followers through comments, live streams, and replies. This helps build a strong connection with the audience and encourages more people to follow the account.

Creativity plays a major role in gaining followers. A unique idea, an interesting story, or a well-edited video can quickly go viral and reach thousands or even millions of viewers. TikTok’s algorithm gives creators the opportunity to be discovered by new audiences, regardless of how many followers they currently have.

Reaching 10K followers is not just about numbers. It represents dedication, effort, and the ability to connect with people. It shows that a creator has built a community that enjoys and supports their content. For many creators, this achievement becomes a motivation to work even harder and improve their skills.

In conclusion, the journey to 10K followers on TikTok is a rewarding experience. It requires creativity, consistency, and patience. With hard work and quality content, any aspiring creator can grow their audience and achieve success on the platform. --Mdali1203 (talk) 14:53, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
