September 2016[edit]

Information icon Hello RW1234. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that you shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created. It is also suggested that pages that might meet CSD A7 criteria not be tagged for deletion immediately after they are created. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Ah thanks for the information, will do next time. RW1234 (talk) 18:38, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And also, please do not patrol or review new pages because you don't have sufficent experience just yet, but please consider doing Recent changes patrol for vandalism instead. KGirlTrucker81 huh? what I'm been doing 18:52, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I see, I guess I did get a little ahead of myself without doing the proper research first. Thanks for the advice! RW1234 (talk) 19:02, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
