New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022

Hello Umakant Bhalerao,

Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter 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 current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to MPGuy2824), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to John B123 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 Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also.

Software news: Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved.

NPP backlog May – October 15, 2022

Suggestions:

• There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
• Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
• Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
• This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog:

Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023

Hello Umakant Bhalerao,

New Page Review queue December 2022

Backlog

The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to WaddlesJP13 who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day.

2022 Awards

Onel5969 won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. Rosguill led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js to User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft.js

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as Novem Linguae and MPGuy2824 have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023

Hello Umakant Bhalerao,

New Page Review queue April to June 2023

Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to Hey man im josh who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by Meena and Greyzxq with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of Sam, Jason and Susana, and also some patches from Jon, has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

Reminders

• Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
• There is live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord and #wikimedia-npp ^connect on IRC.
• Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.

You are wrong

My newly created page is well defined with reliable articles which follows the Wikipedia references and policies, but still page is for modifying on which basis. I think you are harrassing me Kamarrrr (talk) 10:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

@Kamarrrr, I am harassing you? I apologize if you feel that way. I declined your draft on 8th March because the subject does not seem to meet our standards for notable actors. The draft mentions that he has been in 3 films, but all of these are minor or supporting roles. Also, not all sources you added to the draft are reliable. They are profiles on streaming sites, movie listings, YouTube videos, which are not considered reliable and contribute to establishing notability. The ones that are reliable lack in-depth significant coverage. Please see WP:NACTOR and WP:RS.-- Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 03:09, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I can understand but at the time the draft article was not prepared when you declined ,but now draft article is attached with reliable sources according to Wikipedia policies and it is about an actor having supporting roles in many bollywood movies which is also mentioned in many offical and authentic news website of India. If there is any mistake i will do that. Kamarrrr (talk) 04:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Could you please post three reputable sources here where the actor has been covered in-depth? I've already reviewed the updated draft and the new sources you added do not establish the actor's notability. Hindustanmetro, Awazthevoice, and Timesofmalwa are not reputable sources and seem questionable. They do not show how this actor meets [[WP:NACTOR]] though. He has only appeared in three films and all in supporting roles, which is not sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia.-- Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 03:46, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Draft submission declined

Dear Umakant Bhalerao,

I just noticed that you declined my Draft:Orestis Mastakas submitted article, citing "Submission is improperly sourced" as a reason. First of all, I would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time to review it. Secondly, I would also like to ask for more details, if you have some time to spare. As a newcomer, I would be grateful if you could specify which parts need to be edited and what exactly needs to be done.

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

ArchidamusIII (talk) 11:22, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

@ArchidamusIII Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I declined your draft for not being "adequately supported by reliable sources." Sources like Facebook and LinkedIn are primary, thus not considered reliable or independent of the subject. To improve your draft, please remove all LinkedIn profiles and Facebook posts and instead add links from secondary, reliable sources. I haven't reviewed the other sources in the draft yet, but I would suggest reading WP:RS for guidance on sourcing.-- Umakant Bhalerao (talk) 12:32, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Dear Umakant Bhalerao,

Many thanks for the feedback! I will check if there is any source that could replace Facebook and LinkedIn. In terms of notability, is it useful enough?

ArchidamusIII (talk) 14:03, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Draft submission

Hello Umakant Ji,

I noticed that you deleted my draft, saying that it's advertising and promotional and not neutral manner. All the information I included in the draft content are facts, and I have also provided sources for them. I was planning to add more content to the draft, but you deleted it before I could do so. Could you please tell me which information you believe is factually incorrect? Bobboby6505 (talk) 15:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Review draft submission: Guy Deutscher (physicist)

Please review the Draft:Guy_Deutscher_(physicist) prior to moving it into article. This is an extension to the page after Deutscher's death. Roy Beck (talk) 10:37, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
