Hello! I was browsing my own talk page today and saw a notification that mentioned your username from 2011. (And right after it was a notification about Stuart David's band Looper). You were probably welcoming me to wikipedia. I don't know if you still (or ever) listened to B&S, but rock on! It was fun reading your user page and seeing a fellow Libera person on here. Have a good day! Semitones (talk) 19:35, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- The song "Judy and her dream of horses" has been pointed out to me. And yeah, I was probably welcoming you to Wikipedia. Hello to you as well. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 23:42, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Signpost interview request - Random Page Patrol[edit]
Hello! I'm writing an article for The Signpost about the Random Page Patrol wikiproject. We often do interviews with Wikiproject members, and I saw your name on the list of members. As an early member and long-time Wiki contributor, I'd love to ask about the project, why you do it, and why you think it's valuable. I could drop a few questions for you below which you could answer in your own time over the next couple of weeks. Let me know - thank you! Ganesha811 (talk) 19:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol newsletter September 2021[edit]
Hello I dream of horses/2021,
Please join this discussion - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including Autopatrolled. Even our review systems themselves at AfC and NPR have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.
Copyright violations are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection here.
At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.
There are currently 706 New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.
If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.
Various awards are due to be allocated by the end of the year and barnstars are overdue. If you would like to manage this, please let us know. Indeed, if you are interested in coordinating NPR, it does not involve much time and the tasks are described here.
To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself here. Sent to 827 users. 04:31, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
Query[edit]
Hello, I dream of horses,
I stumbled upon this page which seems a little strange to me. I don't know this editor and unfortunately, they are not active so I can't ask them what their intention was in creating it. I'll delete it if you find it intrusive and a little creepy. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 02:28, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Liz: I asked them why they have it, and they told me they admired the user page. I shrugged and have forgotten about it since. I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 02:31, 19 September 2021 (UTC) (added ping at 02:32, 19 September 2021 (UTC))
- Okay, well, if you are fine with it, then I'll leave it alone. I hope you are well! Liz Read! Talk! 03:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Liz Same to you! I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 05:55, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
