NPR Newsletter No.13 18 September 2018

Hello Ifnord, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at Special:NewPagesFeed), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

Project news

• The New Page Feed now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the WMF's AfC Improvement Project.

As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, ORES predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's talk page for more info.

• There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks for more info to see if you can help out.

Other

• A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources, which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.

Moving to Draft and Page Mover

• Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they might have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at WP:DRAFTIFY.
• If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear conflict of interest.
• Articles that have been created in contravention of our paid-editing-requirements or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear COI might also be draftified at discretion.
• The best tool for draftification is User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js^(info). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed like this). Note that if you do not have the Page Mover userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as CSD R2, but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
• The Page Mover userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally page swapping is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at Requested Moves. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing

Twinkle provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the gadgets section of 'preferences'. There are also a lot of options available at the Twinkle preferences panel after you install the gadget. In terms of other gadgets for NPR, HotCat is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions. MoreMenu also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues. User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js(info): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to your common.js and copy importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' ); into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page) User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js(info): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): npp_num_pages=20; (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50). User:Primefac/revdel.js(info): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you. User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js(info): Creates a "Page Curation" link to Special:NewPagesFeed up near your sandbox link. User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion. User:Evad37/rater.js(info): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: rater_autostartNamespaces = 0; to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

Hi this is an inappropriate content. There are many people with named Savita and it hurts others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 157.45.209.173 (talk) 17:25, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Eileen Otte

Eileen Ottensoser is not the maiden name of Eileen Ford. Her maiden name is Otte. This is proven by the thousands of obituaries online stating her name. I don't know why Wikipedia insists on switching it back to Ottensoser all of the time. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.137.70.23 (talk) 17:43, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

Pepe Le Pew and Kermit the Frog

Have you never seen any hentai? Kermit is constantly returning to the swamp so as to aquire sexual acts from female frogs from the swamp who are addicted to the male sex organ. Looney Tunes continually implies that Pepe Le Pew is sexually attracted to the female animals that he chases and is mainly interested in preforming carnal acts with the characters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FletcherBarton (talk • contribs) 17:58, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi,

I am trying to update the Southern Illinois University School of Law page. However, I cannot seem to do so in a way that saves and is reflected. These updates are to correct outdated information.

Please advise how this should be done properly so that our information is properly reflected on the page. As it is, the page is misleading.

Thank you.

The Source

The source was me. I've known that for as long as I can remember. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Freckles1634 (talk • contribs) 22:03, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Reverting the content

At first sorry for the incovenience. In this page, I am trying remove some paragraphs which are not well suited with the article, as well as the sources[9],[10],[11] are weak and controversial. The sources are not reliable enough to refer.

Removing Content

I removed content which is out of date and misleading on the company page of my employer, and received the following message:

'Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. You have removed referenced material'

how can I prove that my change was valid?DeborahBlatman (talk) 13:52, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

@DeborahBlatman: If you work for the company, please address the conflict of interest notice I placed on your talk page. It explains Wikipedia's policy there. Your efforts to remove negative publicity about your company should be discussed on the article's talk page prior to removal, especially since it is referenced/sourced.

@Bigdawg320: Simply add the information,with references. Please see WP:REFB for help with that. Ifnord (talk) 15:00, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Remove vandalism

I was trying to remove vandalism added to a page by a user that seems to have a history of such activity. When I did, I received a message saying my edit was not constructive and possibly vandalism itself. How can I remove the inflammatory comments? 98.220.203.96 (talk) 22:11, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
