Four Square cigarettes

Hi Jake,

Greetings,

I have come to know that my Four square cigarette page has been deleted on your suggestion. I would like to tell you that I haven't copied content and I own complete rights of the quora content which is the same as here. Rest I would assure you that content will not promote.

Thanks Tarun

Hi Tarun, many tanks for reaching out. If you hold the copyright, as you state, you are most likely an employee of the cigarette manufacturer or work on their behalf. This constitutes paid editing, which MUST be disclosed according to Wikipedia's terms. Please read the policy carefully and make necessary disclosures. You are, however, strongly discouraged from editing any articles about subjects you have a conflict of interest about. It is never acceptable to publish copyrighted material - this is especially true if this originates from a source you are closely related to. Please note that there are other concerns about the subject which also need to be addressed, such as notability and a lack of independent sources. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 08:06, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jake,

Hope you are doing great,

I have recently changed the content of Four Square cigarette and it is 100% unique in nature now. Also i have cited one of the best news media houses for supporting my content. I would really request you to please help me in keeping this content on Wikipedia. Im a budding Wikipedia editor and would want to create my first article on Four Square or any other cigarette brand as im an avid smoker. Please guide me. I have no COI in this article.

Thanks Tarun

NPR Newsletter No.18

Hello Jake Brockman,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

Niharika Kohli, a product manager for the growth team, announced that work is underway in implementing improvements to New Page Patrol as part of the 2019 Community Wishlist and suggests all who are interested watch the project page on meta. Two requested improvements have already been completed. These are:

• Allow filtering by no citations in page curation
• Not having CSD and PRODs automatically marked as reviewed, reflecting current consensus among reviewers and current Twinkle functionality.

Reliable Sources for NPP

Rosguill has been compiling a list of reliable sources across countries and industries that can be used by new page patrollers to help judge whether an article topic is notable or not. At this point further discussion is needed about if and how this list should be used. Please consider joining the discussion about how this potentially valuable resource should be developed and used.

Backlog drive coming soon

Look for information on the an upcoming backlog drive in our next newsletter. If you'd like to help plan this drive, join in the discussion on the New Page Patrol talk page.

News

• Following a request for comment, the subject-specific notability guideline for pornographic actors and models (WP:PORNBIO) was removed; in its place, editors should consult WP:ENT and WP:GNG.

Discussions of interest

New Page Review newsletter July-August 2019

Hello Jake Brockman,

WMF at work on NPP Improvements

More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at NPR. There is now also a live queue of AfC submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.

QUALITY of REVIEWING

Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please be on the alert for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors. The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at NPR.

Backlog

The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.

Move to draft

NPR is triage, it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which might have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.

Notifying users

Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are SPA and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.

PERM

Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome if absolutely necessary, but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.

Other news

School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at New Page Review Coordinators - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

Moving to draft

Hi Jake, should Gautam kumawat be moved to draft? 大诺史 (talk) 06:50, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

@大诺史: That's one option that I would normally recommend if there is a good chance the article can be improved. I have briefly scanned the sources and there does not seem much more out there (at least that I can find in English language sources). I have raised the AfD. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 06:52, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Alright, thank you. Could you raise a deletion request for the file used as on commons if the said article is deleted? 大诺史 (talk) 06:55, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Sure, will do! _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 06:59, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Help with an SPI please

Hi Jake, I saw you started one of the more recent SPIs against User:Markdabeast1. He's at it again at this profile User_talk:Elizabethg507, which is also promoting another "social media personality." I don't have a lot of experience opening SPIs, especially against users who already have them, would you be willing to help? Thanks! JamesG5 (talk) 08:08, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
