I have unreviewed a page you curated

Thanks for reviewing Grupo paranga, Largoplazo.

Unfortunately Jackmcbarn has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

Article has a lot of issues other than the COI, so it needs further review (and quite possibly tagging for deletion)

To reply, leave a comment on Jackmcbarn's talk page.

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello Largoplazo,

Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have 800 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.

Mid July to 01 Oct 2016

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

Getting the tools we need - 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey: Please vote

With some tweaks to their look, and some additional features, Page Curation and New Pages Feed could easily be the best tools for patrollers and reviewers. We've listed most of what what we need at the 2016 WMF Wishlist Survey. Voting starts on 28 November - please turn out to make our bid the Foundation's top priority. Please help also by improving or commenting on our Wishlist entry at the Community Wishlist Survey. Many other important user suggestions are listed at at Page Curation.

NPR

Hi. Thank you for reviewing new pages. Simply removing promotional content does not automatically mean that an article is no longer promotional. Any stub that is similar in kind to an entry on a company listing site is still using Wikipedia for promotional purposes and should be tagged both for A7 and G11. For more information please see the tutorial. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:29, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

@Kudpung: Hi there, Kudpung. I have to say that I am mystified by this. I see what the NPP tutorial now says. It contradicts the terms of WP:G11 as I've been applying it.

First, to say that an article is promotional, regardless of its content, because it was written by someone with an interest in the topic would be to say that we don't allow COI editing. But we do, and we say so at WP:COI. We strongly discourage it, and paid COI editing has to be disclosed, but it isn't prohibited.

Second, WP:G11 strictly, explicitly discusses content, not intent. It applies "to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform". You didn't indicate which article you're referring to, and it may be one that was deleted, so I can't see it, but based on my recollection of the last 12 hours there was an article from which I removed one sentence of the two sentences that were in it, and what was left was a neutrally worded stub. G11 then says "Any article that describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion." After my edit, that was the case. G11 basically does say that removing promotional content automatically means that an article is no longer promotional, and that being in that condition "is preferable to deletion". Of course, A7 may still apply or, if not, the article may still be otherwise deleted for a lack of notability.

G11 references WP:NOTPROMOTION. There, too, in the details, the focus is on the content. It mentions nothing about intent.

So, I'm confused by the two conflicting points of view of how promotion works. As far as I've always been able to tell, if an article would have been acceptable if it had been written by a disinterested author, then it's acceptable even if written by the CEO of the company it's about. I haven't liked this because I've felt that Wikipedia could take a stronger stand against allowing itself to be used with promotional intent, but it's made clear repeatedly that it doesn't. What I'm reading in the NPP tutorial seems like it's a contradiction of existing guidelines. Largoplazo (talk) 12:00, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

Reply on the pages

Hi ‪Largoplazo, thank you for you kindness. I am going to work on the Charlie Chaplin page these days and have saved it in my sandbox, please do not remove it. Another translated page "伊卡博得·克兰" is also an assignment that i am improving, please also keep it... I also replied you in my talk but i am not sure it was linked to you or not... So i also come here. If there are further problems or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. It is interesting work with Wikipedia hhaha~ Have a nice day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cococui (talk • contribs) 21:45, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, User:Cococui. User:RHaworth deleted the draft, for a reason that puzzles me and that I've asked him about. But then I realized that the article would be deleted even after you translate it because English Wikipedia already has an article on Charlie Chaplin. If you want to translate an article from Chinese Wikipedia into English for publication to English Wikipedia, it has to be about a topic for which English Wikipedia doesn't already have an article. (The same applies to "伊卡博得·克兰": we already have Ichabod Crane, so we don't need another article on that fictional character.) Largoplazo (talk) 21:55, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

I am translating from English into Chinese. You mentioned "deleted the draft", I am not quite clear the draft refers to which one.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cococui (talk • contribs) 22:01, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

The Chinese version of Ichabod Craneis link is: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BC%8A%E5%8D%A1%E5%8D%9A%E5%BE%B7%C2%B7%E5%85%8B%E5%85%B0. This is my first translation for English into Chinese, and I am still working to improve this one. Another is "Charlie Chaplin filmography", also a translation from English into Chinese, but the translation has not been finished, please do not remove it. Thank you very much!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cococui (talk • contribs) 22:07, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

I am requesting that my article on Kash Hovey not be deleted. I entered some new references and credits and hope that you will consider and accept. If there is anything you need further, please let me know.

Thank you,

Hi. Once a deletion discussion has begun, all discussion in favor of either keeping or deleting it needs to take place there, to be considered by the administrator who brings the discussion to a close and announces whatever the consensus is.

BBC 12-hour Editathon - large influx of new pages & drafts expected

New Page Reviewers are asked to be especially on the look out 08:00-20:00 UTC (that's local London time - check your USA and AUS times) on Thursday 8 December for new pages. The BBC together with Wikimedia UK is holding a large 12-hour editathon. Many new articles and drafts are expected. See BBC 100 Women 2016: How to join our edit-a-thon.

Talk:Peter Kozodoy

Just an FYI you forgot to sign your comment on Talk:Peter Kozodoy, just wanted to give you a heads up since I'm guessing the editor might not know how to figure out who left it (and thus won't understand who relayed the initial message that it doesn't meat notability criteria either.)

Please do not delete Multiple Sclerosis Association of America

Hi Largoplazo,

I just wanted to further contest the proposed speedy deletion of the page, Multiple Sclerosis Association of America. This page was simply created to state the factual resources that the organization provides to the MS community and was not intended to be promotional. The purpose of this page was to provide information to those looking for it. There are many other multiple sclerosis nonprofits with very similar Wikipedia pages.

Thank you. Kaitlynmsaa (talk) 21:45, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Andorra

Hello, @Largoplazo:. My name is Irina Rybalchenko. I'm the director of All Andorra newspaper. This external link I suggested goes to one of the newspapers in Andorra (registered in the Department of Commerce of Andorra) and it's more than appropriate for an encyclopedia, from my point of view. It's more than strange we were not in this list of newspapers before.

We are the only newspaper in Andorra available in English what can be very useful for people who don't speak Catalan. We are also the most visited newspaper in Andorra now (about 4k unique clicks per day comparing with 1k-2k clicks to other newspapers in Andorra published in Catalan).

Please do not hesitate to contact me: +376 332 674. Regards, Irina

@Ирина Рыбальченко: Hello. I'm sorry, but Wikipedia articles aren't for the purpose of drawing readers' attention to your products and services, regardless of how they might benefit from them. Writing on any topic over which you have a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged; external links aren't allowed in article bodies; and there is no justification for singling out your one paper for identification in that paragraph. Largoplazo (talk) 21:48, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

Additional note: A website (not a print journal) with only 18 articles listed in the first 20 days of December, and none in the last few days, is not likely to be considered a "national newspaper" of note. Further, even the website itself makes clear that it isn't so much a newspaper a "media resource" that "is promoting Andorra and everything to do with business, living and traveling in this country."

Our common "friend" from Ipswich

Regarding your comment here, I would not find it surprising if he sometimes visits Istanbul. However, his usual lair in Turkey is Mersin, from where one of his socks this summer highlighted the connection in this edit summary. Given the persistence of his socking, we may find him back there next summer. Regards! --T*U (talk) 15:54, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

Reviewing article

Hi,

I’m an internship student with Functional Food Center. The reason I am contacting you is because I was wondering if it were possible for the recently deleted “ffc functional food definition” to be restored or temporarily viewed. The content on that page had some information that was copyrighted by FFC and I would like to retrieve it. Since there are some citations that were used in the wikipage, I would have to review the article because we are planning on moving the article away from wikipedia and publishing it on FFC’s website. According to this wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Viewing_and_restoring_deleted_pages#Viewing_a_list_of_recent_page_deletions), this is a valid reason for temporarily restoring the page. The only other reason as to why the content must be temporarily viewed is because I had made a few edits to the wikipage while it was still running and made the mistake of not saving the content on an external document. Alternatively, maybe you could provide a copy of the article with all of its exact content to avoid having the wikipage be restored and open to the public.
