Hello Commonsfolk and recently subscribed admins,
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Orgullobot/Welcome_log
This is another plea for assistance on the Welcome log. PLEASE HELP us check it, even if it's only two users each day. There is a backlog of nearly two weeks.
Newbies make a ton of mistakes and catching them early and correcting them is one way to cut down on future workload in terms of reducing required unlinking of images that need to be deleted, stopping problem uploaders earlier and reduce 'orphan' uncategorised images.
After you've corrected their mistakes and left them a note explaining what they're doing wrong, if necessary, please remove their name from the list. It's very straightforward.
Please help... even if you just look for some 'easy' users that had made no mistakes and remove their names from the list.

PS: If you don't have 'quick nominate as no source/no license/for deletion + notify uploader' links installed, you might like to. See http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Quick-delete.js
Since the welcome template is entirely non-personal, why not get someone to design a bot to do this job? Within minutes of a user signing up a message could be left by the bot so giving them some introductory information. It is preferable that the bot have some inbuilt delay between signup and message so that the user can see the message pop-up after a few minutes editing.

A bot *does* do this job.... I am not asking people to welcome users. I am asking them to check the user's uploads.
The bot only welcomes new users after they have made at least one edit or one upload.
Brianna
Ah, I apologise! Yes, I'll attempt to lend a hand.

Can we ask the operator of the bot to check the New User Log instead?

Do you want the bot to welcome all users who register even if they don't ever edit or contribute? Seems unnecessary to me... what is the benefit?
IIRC 200-300 users register each day, around 90 are welcomed by Orgullobot each day (so presumably made their first edit/upload that day).
Brianna
Please, only welcome *real* users, people which contribute.
