Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Page Curation launch on English Wikipedia


Hi folks,

I am happy to announce that the Wikimedia Foundation has just launched Page 
Curation, a new suite of tools for reviewing articles on Wikipedia.

Current page patrol tools like Special:NewPages and Twinkle can be hard to use 
quickly and accurately, and have led to frustration for some users. Page 
Curation aims to improve that page patrol experience by making it faster and 
easier to review new pages, using two integrated tools: the New Pages Feed and 
the Curation Toolbar.

Read the Page Curation announcement on our blog:

To learn more, visit our introduction page:

If you are an experienced editor, please give Page Curation a try:

We are also holding IRC office hours on Wednesday, September 26 at 4pm PT (23:00 
UTC), during which we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please 
report any issues on our talk page or to our Community Liaison, Oliver Keyes 
<okeyes at wikimedia.org>. 

A number of patrollers have already started using Page Curation, and we hope 
that more curators will adopt this new toolkit over time. A 'release version' 
was deployed on the English Wikipedia on September 20, 2012, and we plan to make 
it available to other projects in coming weeks.

This feature was created in close collaboration with editors. We would like to 
take this opportunity to thank all the community members who patiently guided 
our progress over the past few months. This includes folks like Athleek123, DGG, 
Dori, Fluffernutter, Logan, The Helpful One, Tom Morris, Utar and 
WereSpielChequers, to name but a few. We are deeply grateful for your generous 
contributions to this project!

We designed Page Curation to offer a better experience, by making it easier for 
curators to review new pages and by providing more feedback to creators so they 
can improve Wikipedia together. 

We hope that you will find this new tool useful. Enjoy!
