Im trying to get the new york state route 5s article to good article status. I see that you editited that the new section between frankfort and mohawk was completed by 1992. I was wondering if you knew the source? Thanks, 420Traveler (talk) 07:38, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

@420Traveler: Hi, I haven't made any contributions to that article or any other within this field. Are you sure you got the right person? Good luck with the GA anyway! Shellwood (talk) 11:22, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

@Shellwood: Hi, no problem. I clicked on the url of the edit and it brought me to your page for some reason. Thanks for getting back to me. 420Traveler (talk) 15:37, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

In the template " This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

• {{Shellwood|state=collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.
• {{Shellwood|state=expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.

" was found added. After the Template some words were found in the screen. So I deleted " This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.

@B Jambulingam: The additional message on the template page only appears there, it wont appear under the template when added to articles and is there to instruct users of how to collapse the template. This can be desirable if an article has several templates at the bottom. I suggest you put it back. Shellwood (talk) 11:20, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

@Shellwood:, As suggested by you, I put it back. As I did not not understand earlier I could not able to make suitable correction. Please ensure if it is okay. Regards. --B Jambulingam (talk) 14:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

OK I do see you are right. It's just that normally when things are copied into another source, they are accompanied by the caveat (sic), and as this one wasn't, it looked like a misspelling. Thanks for being meticulous there. POWWOWWOWWOW (talk) 19:53, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

I recently got this

Hello, I'm Shellwood. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —specifically this edit to Max Verstappen— because it did not appear constructive.

I am sorry but I have no idea what this is, I have never visited the Verstappen page (until now to see what I was supposed to have done) and have certainly never edited it

This is not a shared computer, or ip address, so I have no idea how this happened

Hello sir, For two days age until now I have been tried to add some info to this article. But unfortunately my contribution has been faild and now you put deletion tag on the top of this article. I meant contribution not vandalism. I will be grateful if you remove deletion tag because I didnt mean to be reason for deletion of this person's article in wikipedia. Thank you so much for your understanding.

With my best regards Garciamilano (talk) 19:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

@Garciamilano: I didn't tag the article, also the deletion tag cannot be removed while the AfD process is ongoing. Shellwood (talk) 19:30, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi there! Apologies for any mistakes I've made in the articles I've edited. I've been having trouble finding certain statistics that always seem to be in different places, such as name meanings and average size, so I figured it would be best to move them to the same place. I've begun reading the manual of style, but if there is any section in particular you think I should study up on, I'd appreciate you letting me know. :) --Vaporwaveboyfriend (talk) 21:45, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Shellwood,

Your help can make a difference

NPP Sorting can be a great way to find pages needing new page patrolling that match your strengths and interests. Using ORES, it divides articles into topics such as Literature or Chemistry and on Geography. Take a look and see if you can find time to patrol a couple pages a day. With over 10,000 pages in the queue, the highest it's been since ACPERM, your help could really make a difference.

Google Adds New Languages to Google Translate

In late February, Google added 5 new languages to Google Translate: Kinyarwanda, Odia (Oriya), Tatar, Turkmen and Uyghur. This expands our ability to find and evaluate sources in those languages.

Discussions and Resources

• A discussion on handling new article creation by paid editors is ongoing at the Village Pump.
• Also at the Village Pump is a discussion about limiting participation at Articles for Deletion discussion.
• A proposed new speedy deletion criteria for certain kinds of redirects ended with no consensus.
• Also ending with no change was a proposal to change how we handle certain kinds of vector images.

Hello Shellwood, I see that you have the format that makes up the Earwig's Copyvio Detector userbox. I assume you copied that from my userpage (originally JudeccaXIII). I just wanted to let you know that I did eventually make a template for it via {{User wikipedia/Earwig's Copyvio Detector}}. Jerm (talk) 16:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

@Jerm: Thanks, looks good! Shellwood (talk) 14:24, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Be a little careful as I suspect you inadvertently in good faith may have wiped a delete vote on this one. (I suspect it was a conflicting edit). We all make mistakes like that from time to time (my personal time to time interval is quite short). Keep up the good work adding the delsorts though. Thankyou.

I may have been incorrect in accusing you of making a mistake, and I am greatly one for laying the fault at the software rather than the user. interesting anyway. Don't really see how I could ask you to be more careful on this one then. Thanks. Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello Shellwood,

Year in review

It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

Reviewer of the Year

John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.

NPP Technical Achievement Award

As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

Sorry about that revert on the Entertainment Desk at 9:04 this morning, I have no idea where that came from. An accidental rollback while scrolling through my watchlist on my smartphone is the most likely culprit, although I normally notice that sort of thing straight away and revert myself and it hasn't happened for several months.
