:I agree with that myself...if an article comes out with a title "Blue sunshine" and content of "blue", I don't see why it can't be tagged as no context...it just doesn't make sense to wait any amount of time to tag it. It's usually easy to tell the difference between when it's a house being built and when it's just a board on the ground.

This message on this site, depending on the user-specified interface language:
• en (English):
Pages older than one month are not shown. For a log of recently patrolled pages see Special:Log/patrol.
Please read Wikipedia:New pages patrol and keep the following in mind:
- Don't bite the newcomers: cleanup tagging within minutes of creation can discourage new users. Consider using Twinkle to welcome newcomers, and placing {{uw-draftfirst}} on their talk page if a first effort needs deleting;
- Articles should not be tagged for speedy deletion as having no context (CSD A1) or no content (CSD A3) moments after creation, as not all users will have added full content in their first revision;
- Attack pages (CSD G10) must be blanked;
- Unsourced biographies of living people can be proposed for deletion using the "sticky prod" process. Twinkle is recommended for this, or see template:prod blp for manual tagging instructions;
- Please consider checking new pages for copyright violations. One can copy and paste one or more segments of unique text from the article into a search engine in quotation marks. For pages with a single online reference or external link, compare the content to the external site and look for copy/pastes and close paraphrasing. Blatant violations can be tagged for speedy deletion under CSD G12. Otherwise, see {{copyvio}}.
- New files do not appear here (only pages created without a corresponding local file). You can see and patrol new files at Special:NewFiles.
- A preference option that hides patrolled new pages by default is available at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rc.

Patrolled reminder
{{editprotected}}
Is it possible to add something along the lines of the uw-patrolled template...
...to the top of the Special:Newpages to remind editors to mark pages that they have patrolled as such? More and more recently I find myself "duplicating efforts". Ks0stm (T•C•G) 20:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Not done Nothing to deploy here yet. Please read the edit protected documentation. I did toy around for a minute, but adding that to the current content makes this introduction to Special:NewPages almost double in height. More than I think many editors would find acceptable. Please prepare an exact design (you can use a personal sandbox or something). If you think it might be controversial, notify the Village Pump. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:22, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

"Moments after creation"
I just noticed "don't demolish the house while it's still being built: articles should not be tagged for speedy deletion as having no context (CSD A1) or no content (CSD A3) moments after creation." This is plain old bad advice. What's it doing in here?? Friday (talk) 16:37, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
