New page patrol – Survey Invitation

----

Hello {{PAGENAME}}! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

• If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
• If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click [https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9RSKYC9 HERE] to take part.

Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

Currently there are {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pending AfC submissions|R}} submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our Help Desk.

If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{tl|AFC status}} or {{tl|AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.

:PS: we have a great AFC helper script at User:Timotheus Canens/afchelper4.js which helps in reviewing in just few edits easily!

We would greatly appreciate your help. Currently, only a small handful of users are reviewing articles. Any help, even if it's just 2 or 3 reviews, it would be extremely beneficial.

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

• May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor
• May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library, in the Digital Scholarship Lab
• June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA), where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
