I've declined your CSD here; the line "performing and recording with such luminaries as The Emotions, Nancy Sinatra, Dave Valentin, Dizzy Gillespie, Dean Martin, Stix Hooper, Eddie Harris, The Shirrelles, Billy Childs, John Beasly, Munyungo Jackson, Bill Summers, The Fifth Dimension" is most certainly a claim of significance.

You patrolled Claudio Botosso. It didn't have a reference. This is the third or fourth time I've caught a BLP article you patrolled without refs. Also noticed patrolling upwards of five articles a minute. Slow down. The NPP queue will always be full. Bgwhite (talk) 05:41, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given the number of articles I patrol, mistakes like this are bound to happen, and a slower patroller will probably make the same number of mistakes. What needs to be considered is the rate of error per 100 articles, not per minute. Me patrolling five articles per minute usually reflects the fact I'm looking at a batch of similar stubs created by the same person: in that case, looking at the first two or three is enough to convince me that the rest of the batch require no action from a patroller. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 04:10, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yea, I've heard the same rote response from others and myself. There are tons of things we will never catch no matter how long we look. The problem being is in one week, I've noticed 3-4 patrolled articles by you with no references. This is something that is noticeable right away and is a major failure for not catching. There are no excuses for not catching a BLP with no references. If you are missing the easily spotted biggies, you should slow down and pay better attention.

Hi. I'm just curious why you patrolled this article as OK without addressing any of what I consider to be glaring issues. Perhaps it was an error. Best, --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:17, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can't unmark the article as patrolled, unfortunately. I was looking to prod it, but in the end I've decided to give it a few minutes. It's on my watchlist. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:20, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've prodded it, and I won't object to a WP:IAR premature deletion. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 01:34, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I notice you also patrolled Endless Entertainment. A further examination of the sources and the creator shows that the subject is unlikely to notable, and the creator has a clear COI. I'm not being picky, but as you know, in order to monitor the performance of NPP as a process, I patrol all the new pages, including the ones that have already been patrolled. That said, are you already using the prototype WP:New Pages Feed? Any feedback would be welcome.Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:51, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
