Hi Wikipedialuva. Thank you for your work on McLean Screening Instrument for Borderline Personality Disorder. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

An appropriate page for a screening test, supported by sources independent of the group creating it, and having survived in use for more than 20 years (sustained coverage).

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hi Wikipedialuva, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Just Step Sideways ^{from this world ..... today} 22:55, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

I'm just wondering how you find vandalism to revert. I saw it done on a page and you fixed it, and I wondered if you just scrolled through pages looking for it or something else? Vemocleus (talk) 07:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

@Vemocleus: Hi! Its great to hear you want to get involved in fixing vandalism! There are a few ways to find vandalism on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has a good overview of the topic here: Wikipedia:SPOTVAN. Personally, I think a great place to find vandalism is the Special:RecentChanges board with filters like "May be bad faith" added. The Special:AbuseLog is another good place to find vandalism.

If you are interested in learning about gaining skills to revert vandalism, I would recommend reading the page "Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism". I would also consider enrolling in the "Counter Vandalism Academy", where experienced editors will work with you to teach you how to address vandalism.

Once you gain some experience, you can begin using tools like "RedWarn", a tool that helps automate some of the vandalism actions, which making addressing vandalism faster and easier. Once you have more significant experience (at least 200 edits and a month of experience with handling vandalism) with anti-vandalism, you can apply for the "Rollback" permission. This permission allows the use of tools like "Huggle" and "AntiVandal", which will show your possible vandalism and allow you to revert it with a single keystroke.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me or post them on the Counter-Vandalism Unit talk page. Thanks! Wikipedialuva (talk) 08:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Wikipedialuva, hope all is well Would you be able to run AWB on Ed Flemke to clean up duplicate references? Thanks! Wracking ^talk! 22:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

@Wracking::  Done. I also did some light fixes and manual copy editing on the second edit to the article. Thanks for the suggestion! Wikipedialuva (talk) 01:05, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Much appreciated! Wracking ^talk! 01:20, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
