Draft:Luminar review question

Hi there,

There's a page which was submitted a few months ago - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Luminar You've reviewed its first version and suggested to make it neutral and add more references. After that, I've corrected these issues and added as many references as I could find and have re-written it with a neutral tone without any promotional and advertorial sentences. Yet, it was declined by your colleague, with a note stating that this page "says nothing about it". It's rather confusing since I believe that if I add more information about the product, it might sound promotional and non-neutral, but without it - it's noninformative according to the last reviewer. Please advice.

Thank you! (Jenyajc (talk) 13:19, 6 July 2017 (UTC))— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jenyajc (talk • contribs) 11:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewer Newsletter

Hello ProgrammingGeek, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 18,511 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a a day.
  • Some editors are committing to work specifically on patrolling new pages on 15 July. If you have not reviewed new pages in a while, this might be a good time to be involved. Please remember that quality of patrolling is more important than quantity, that the speedy deletion criteria should be followed strictly, and that ovetagging for minor issues should be avoided.

Technology update:

  • Several requests have been put into Phabractor to increase usability of the New Pages Feed and the Page Curation toolbar. For more details or to suggest improvements go to Wikipedia:Page Curation/Suggested improvements
  • The tutorial has been updated to include links to the following useful userscripts. If you were not aware of them, they could be useful in your efforts reviewing new pages:

Technology update:

Hello ProgrammingGeek, thank you for your efforts reviewing new pages!

Backlog update:

  • The new page backlog is currently at 14304 pages. We have worked hard to decrease from over 22,000, but more hard work is needed! Please consider reviewing even just a few pages a day.
  • Currently there are 532 pages in the backlog that were created by non-autoconfirmed users before WP:ACTRIAL. The NPP project is undertaking a drive to clear these pages from the backlog before they hit the 90 day Google index point. Please consider reviewing a few today!

Technology update:

  • The Wikimedia Foundation is currently working on creating a new filter for page curation that will allow new page patrollers to filter by extended confirmed status. For more information see: T175225

General project update:

  • On 14 September 2017 the English Wikipedia began the autoconfirmed article creation trial. For a six month period, creation of articles in the mainspace of the English Wikipedia will be restricted to users with autoconfirmed status. New users who attempt article creation will now be redirected to a newly designed landing page.
  • Before clicking on a reference or external link while reviewing a page, please be careful that the site looks trustworthy. If you have a question about the safety of clicking on a link, it is better not to click on it.
