If I left a comment on your talk page, please feel free to reply there to maintain the linear flow of conversation. If I do not reply in a timely manner (likely either because I tend to take UserTalk pages off my WatchList after a few weeks or because I did not realize that a reply was indicated), please feel free to leave a note here. Unless preferred otherwise, I will follow the same conventions if you here.
To any who may be viewing this page, Welcome. As a newer editor, I'm using this userpage as a learning tool, so if you have helpful comments, I'll happily read them on my talk page.

What is Page curation?

Page curation provides two main features:
the New Pages Feed, a dynamic list of new pages for review by community patrollers.
the Curation Toolbar, an optional panel on articles that enables editors to review them more effectively.

Marking dead links
A dead, unarchived source URL may still be useful. Such a link indicates that information was (probably) verifiable in the past, and the link might provide another user with greater resources or expertise with enough information to find the reference. It could also return from the dead. With a dead link, it is possible to determine if it has been cited elsewhere, or to contact the person originally responsible for the source. For example, one could contact the Yale Computer Science department if http://www.cs.yale.edu/~EliYale/Defense-in-Depth-PhD-thesis.pdf[dead link] were dead. Place {{Dead link|date=April 2017}} If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point.
after the dead URL and just before the </ref> tag if applicable, leaving the original link intact. If you omit the date a bot will add it for you at some point. Placing [dead link] auto-categorizes the article into Articles with dead external links project category, and into specific monthly date range category based on |date= parameter. Do not delete a URL just because it has been tagged with [dead link] for a long time.
