I do no longer use these dynamic IPs and do not claim authorship of edits under these IPs before or after the specified date ranges above.
- There were more contributions in the English as well as in foreign-language Wikipedias, in particular the German Wikipedia, but it is difficult to remember them after all these years. So far, the earliest edit I could track back was on 2005-07-02. Mostly for my own curiosity I'll continue to document them when I happen to stumble upon them, but perhaps it will become technically possible to merge such IP edits into a user account somewhen in the future. We'll see.

FAT technical specs
[edit]Look I understand you spent a good deal of time adding all those boot sector codes to the FAT article. To the point... it is overly technical. You can create the technical specs redirect if you want to claim credit for a new wiki.
Senior editor made comment atop wiki for a reason.
Fix the fucking article. It reads like shit with the superfluous boot sector graphs and overly detailed information. It's like fitting Stevie Wonder's biography into an article. What's the point?
If you really want to flesh out technical data, there exist wikia platforms for IT buffs-----------

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
[edit]Hello Matthiaspaul,
Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.
Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.
Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.
Suggestions:
- There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
- Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
- Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
- This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.
Backlog:
Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!
- Reminders
- Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
- If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
- Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Url-status=deviated
[edit]Just wanted to send a note of thanks for coming up with the above parameter for citation templates. It proved very useful in this edit. Ed [talk] [OMT] 20:34, 19 December 2025 (UTC)
The article IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
One google scholar hit. Fails GNG.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.
If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time.
This is an automated notification. Please refer to the page's history for further information. DatBot (talk) 00:30, 23 December 2025 (UTC)
