Your note regarding Draft:Vijey Kumar Ghai
Hello, this is regarding your note on my talk page re: my draft article above that was being reviewed by User Dial911, but they were unable to complete review; and suggested I submit article to Peer Review under WikiProject India, however that page appears to be inactive. Although I have attempted to put up the article there I am not sure if that Peer review is working. Would appreciate any pointers regarding a review? I have made several edits since then to trim the article and created additional links to the sources that Dial911 was unable to access for some reason. Thx.

- @WikiCpa: If you think you've made the required improvements mentioned in the decline note, then resubmit the article for AfC review by clicking that blue Resubmit button on AfC template, after that one AfC reviewer will review the article. I'm currently busy with other tasks, so I'm not available for reviewing. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 04:15, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

New page reviewer granted
Hi CptViraj. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:
- Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
- You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
- If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
- Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. TheSandDoctor Talk 07:55, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
