Something a little different! Now I will review the first 20 articles to appear on the Special:Newpages list, clicked at about 6 pm AEST. The colours after the entry indicate whether they are 'RED' or 'BLUE' users, or whether or not they have a user page (a rough indicator of noobishness).
- Mehrdad Azimi Deleted. I clicked on it a moment ago though and it was about a 13 year old boy. RED
- Unspeakables set of characters in Harry Potter. Unwikified, poor punctuation. RED
