The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination/2022_WMF_letter" title="Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination/2022 WMF letter">open letter</a> finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2022-09-30/In_focus" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2022-09-30/In focus">current issue of <i>The Signpost</i></a>.

The 2021 cup went to <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:John_B123">John B123</a></span> for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Awards" title="Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Awards">Awards page</a>.

Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour.
