{{center|{{flatlist|
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on ]. Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds.
