:That wasn't a copy-edit, it was a rewrite in you own style because you didn't like the original. Also there was almost as much blue in your version as black. That doesn't help a reader. It just distracts them if they think they have to click on the links. All the links they need are in the sections below. It's a simple didactic process.

::For starters, in the very first sentence you change "New articles" to "All new articles". "All" adds nothing of value, it is just wordiness that makes the page longer. Then you changed "articles" to "articles and redirect". This page is about articles. It is irrelevant that redirects are also reviewed. A new user who is writing their first article probably doesn't know what a redirect is. More distracting clutter. [[User:MB|<b style="color:#034503">MB</b>]] 15:28, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
== Some cleanup ==
I feel like the part about public ___domain/compatibly-licensed text ({{tq|some material may be in the public ___domain or compatibly licensed for reuse in Wikipedia}}) should be deleted. I was going to wikilink to [[Help:Adding open license text to Wikipedia]], but this is such a niche case I am not sure it belongs in a [[KISS principle|basic overview]] of the process. I am a relatively new NPR but I have yet to encounter a single new article that contained PD/licensed content. For compatibly licensed images, there definitely needs to be more explanation; it is not an intuitive concept. This might need to be the subject of another newbie guide—[[Help:Introduction to images with Wiki Markup/2|the newbie image page]] unhelpfully says that files must be "compatibly licensed" without elaboration or links to more information. There is [[:File:Licensing tutorial en.svg]], but I think some prose might be beneficial. For now, I think we should link to [[Wikipedia:Uploading images#Determine copyright status]]. I would rather a newbie be overwhelmed than commit a crime (namely, copyright violations).
