I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Hydrangeans. Thank you for your work on Horton Davies. Another editor, Aszx5000, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Excellent work. You are constructing articles of a consistently high quality - why are you not autopatrolled? thanks.

@Aszx5000: Thanks for your kind words; I try my best.

A user needs to have created at least 25 articles, and I've only created a bit less than half that many. Even if I reach that benchmark, I don't create articles that often, so the main purpose (to reduce the workload of new pages patrol by removing prolific high-quality creators' new articles from the patrol pool) may not quite apply.

You are writing large high quality GA-rated article (I see that you have 5), which unfortunately do take time to patrol. Your articles are of a very high quality and in topic areas that would raise no red flags with autopatrolling. It is your choice, and but with +10,000 unreviewed articles (and +300 b-grade articles) on the queue, there is no need for any of yours to be on it. And maybe you might like to try patrolling the +B-grade articles someday. Obviously your choice but I wanted to let you know :) 11:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC) Aszx5000 (talk) 11:21, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

I hadn't thought about how the length of a new article adds to the time consumed by patrolling. And a lot of the articles I've created have been lengthy at creation. I'll keep this in mind for when I pass the 25 article threshold. Thanks for the elaboration, and for the invitation to try patrolling; I'll give that some thought.
