[edit]Oct 2022
[edit]- (example) about right, about right
- about right, about right--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 12:43, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Frequency and length are good. Miniapolis 13:29, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Frequency, ok; more frequent would probably be too much (burden on the writers and on the readers); size, ok (reminder is good, stay focused) - Nabla (talk) 18:57, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
- Frequency and length are good. Thanks for your commitment to helping us continue this effort and do good work! --FULBERT (talk) 22:39, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

[edit]- Both look about right. Thanks for your work. North8000 (talk) 19:50, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- Time-frames are good, length is good. Appreciate all the efforts, thank you. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 20:07, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- Both the frequency and length are about right. Thanks! Geoff | Who, me? 20:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

[edit]- All ok for me. I wouldn't mind slightly less frequency, but more regular (say every 2 months). More often than 4-6 weeks is too much. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 17:43, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- All within the quite acceptable range for me. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 18:24, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- All seem fine to me! ~ Eejit43 (talk) 18:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Reminder message[edit]MB, I still think an interim bulletin wouldn't go amiss. It would show we mean business. Here's a draft anyway, and I'd be inclined to send it on Friday 19n August which would give them a weekend to think about it:

When is the next newsletter going out?[edit]MB, when do you tentatively plan to send out the next newsletter? If it isn't expected to be out until October, then we'd need to send out a short mass message informing reviewers about the October Backlog drive, around 24/25 September. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:14, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
AfC[edit]@Novem Linguae: Where did you get this from,
Backlog graph[edit]Zippy, there is usually a backlog graph added to the newsletter. Since the graph extension isn't working right now, you can get a graph from here. You zoom in/out to get the time period that you are looking for. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:06, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Not Signed
[edit]Hi, the newsletter is not signed unlike other MediaWiki message delivery posts so wont be auto archived. Should not all posts be signed? Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:38, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- @KylieTastic, I simply sent it as MB did In January, which worked fine for auto-archiving as far as I know. I don’t think it matters that much as there is still a time stamp for the edit adding the section but I’m happy to AWB time stamps on affected pages. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 10:07, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Hey Zippybonzo, actually they have not worked with some archive bots (e.g. Lowercase sigmabot III) I just kept forgetting to mention. If you go back to this you can see the October 2022 newsletter still not archived in Jan 2023 on a 20 day archive. If you search for the August 2022 one this you see lots listed on archive pages, do the same for October 2022 this there are a lot less but some have been by ClueBot III. I havn't done an exhaustive search but I think it was broken from October 2022 for Lowercase sigmabot III users. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 10:25, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Noted, when I next send an MMS I will send it with a signature. I didn’t think it needed it, but clearly it does. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 10:28, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

- Question: Should we add something that Dr. Vulpes and Illusion Flame are new coordinators?
- Possibly, I don't think it's needed though. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 15:30, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, you’re probably right. I was just looking for something else to add to the newsletter. - 🔥𝑰𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 (𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌)🔥 16:59, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Write it and I'll check it, FYI I have to take the final review as I'm the one sending it and take full responsibility for the actual message when it sends. Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 17:12, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Question: Should we add something that Dr. Vulpes and Illusion Flame are new coordinators?
- Doesn't seem particularly relevant. Also, are we actually seeking more coordinators? Hey man im josh (talk) 18:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)- I don't think a coordinator becoming an admin is relevant to NPP reviewers who receive this newsletter. Also, we're still waiting to hear back from Evad37 before making deprecation official. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:58, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- I'll do some rewriting Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 19:29, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Ultimately I'm not a coordinator, so it's not up to me. But that's just a bit of my opinion. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:31, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- I don't disagree, it does seem a little un-needed Zippybonzo | Talk (he|him) 19:31, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
