Regarding page reviewer
Thank you to everyone who recommended I try out the New Page Reviewer right, however, I have opted not to make it permanent nor do I intend on returning to it for as long as this message is up. New page reviewing doesn't seem to make sense to me given all I've ever used it for (mostly) was page reviewing redirects following bad article attempts. Even that part of Wikipedia has given me a small amount of stress, and I've had to back away from disputes to avoid making that stress worse.
In short, it doesn't make sense to me to keep a user right if I know I'm not going to use it as frequently, especially given I might leave Wikipedia within the next few years. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:44, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi. I was coming here to leave a message to you regarding NPP, and saw this. Too bad, we could use quality folks over there, but I definitely understand about the stress. Thanks for all you do. Onel5969 TT me 15:21, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

G5 tagging
Please do not tag pages for G5 deletion unless a user has already been blocked. We do not G5 delete pages until an account has been blocked. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:55, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but with respect and no contest to your decision, I don't see anything in WP:G5 that says this. The user in all the cases you declined has already been reported at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/JaheimHines, and the sockmaster has already been blocked since 2022. Jalen Folf (Bark[s]) 15:15, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- If the account is not confirmed as violating a ban or block, then the pages are not eligible. It should be clear that a pending report at SPI does not make pages eligible for G5 deletion. I bring this up because you have a history of making these sort of tags, a number of which I've removed in the past. Have some patience, wait for the accounts to actually be confirmed and blocked, and don't tag pages for G5 deletions when the SPI report is still unhandled, even if you yourself believe the evidence to be damning. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:32, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- My suggestion:
- For active, obvious socks, report at WP:AIV. If the blocking admin doesn't handle deletion, go ahead and tag.
- For non-active, obvious socks, just tag. I mean really obvious. If User:SockyPants got blocked for creating the hoax article SockPants is King of Australia, and you notice that User:SockyPants2 re-created the same hoax article a week ago, I think most admins can see the connection fast enough that they'd action a G5. SPI would be unnecessarily slow.
- For non-active, non-obvious socks, use SPI.
